962 FXAK67 PAJK 102313 AFDAJK Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Juneau AK 313 PM AKDT Mon Jun 10 2024 .SHORT TERM.../ Through Tuesday night / Weather front moving through Southeast Alaska through the first half of tonight period. shower activity continued into early Tuesday and will diminish to chance levels for the northern by afternoon. A secondary system trailing will move a low to southern Haida Gwaii by Tuesday afternoon. As a result of that, there will be some wind shifts because of low, the biggest thing will be a north to northeast flow for the southern panhandle too. The rain shield from the Tuesday low will be spreading to the southern third. .LONG TERM...For the start of the long term, we will remain in unsettled weather as low pressure remains over the gulf. A ridge of high pressure will remain over the panhandle during this time which will allow for some clearing skies. With this, expect showers to continue during this time allowing for some clearing conditions but also the potential for rain. As we move towards the latter half of the week, the low that remains over the gulf is expected to shift to the south and east out of the area allowing for high pressure to build in. One thing that will need to be watched is the potential for some easterly wave thunderstorms starting Thursday evening and potentially through Saturday. This will have to be watched for the potential. For the going forecast, decreased the winds across the inner channels and across the gulf coast. && .AVIATION...Frontal trough tracking northward across the region has brought some SE gusts of 20-25kts and periodic MVFR CIG/VIS, but otherwise the rain has been on the light side. Behind the trough, breaks can be seen in the clouds offshore of POW and expect a shortlived wind shift to the SW along with a transition to showers. By the time the back edge of the trough is moving through the northern panhandle Monday evening, the influence of the next system will start affecting the south. Low pressure tracking northward toward Haida Gwaii through Tuesday will cause winds to shift back out of the N-NE. The offshore flow will in turn cause more breaks in the clouds over the central and northern inner channels for Tuesday. && .AJK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
