...Significant Storms to Impact Southeast Alaska late Monday night
into Midweek...
Cool air entrenched over the Panhandle will be favorable for
precipitation to fall as snow with the next series of weather
systems. A low developing over the northern Gulf of Alaska Monday
night will impact the Panhandle through Tuesday with the first
band of potential snowfall. The exact track of this first low is
uncertain but currently expected to persist over northeastern Gulf
and keep an onshore flow with snow continuing. Meanwhile a
developing wave late Wednesday night should move into the southern
half of the Panhandle bringing more significant snowfall and a
potential change over to rain for Prince of Wales Island and the
southern Inner Channels.
Forecast confidence is high for periods of accumulating snow late
Monday night, but low to moderate for periods beyond due to
uncertainty with the timing and track of each system. It is likely
however, that portions of the Panhandle will receive moderate to
heavy snowfall in this weather pattern.

to be missing water and water supply, wastewater,
flood control, irrigation, power generation
(other than solar) and transmission, airports,
ports, docks, harbors, and more; all the
"mundane" stuff we take for granted,
will still be needed in the future, and that
will require "big dreams", skill,
innovation, imagination, and ingenuity.

- NWS Summary of January 2017 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...Windy January with variable snowfall across the Panhandle...
The most notable weather of January 2017 across Southeast Alaska was
the wind. High wind warnings were issued for various portions of the
Panhandle on six different occasions, with the first on the 5th of
January and the last on the 27th of the month. In addition to these
high wind events, there were numerous times where strong wind gusts
of 40 mph or greater impacted the region.
January temperatures once again trended above average, and this can
be seen most clearly in a graph of accumulated heating degree days
for the month. In looking more closely at the data, daily records
indicate above normal from the 13th through about the 18th and again
from the 23rd through the 28th. During these two periods, observed
overnight lows were in many cases warmer than what normal daytime
highs are for this time of the year.
Very dry conditions prevailed through the 11th of the month.
Precipitation returned on the 12th of the month across all of
Southeast Alaska with accumulations rapidly rising towards normal by
the 15th of January. Monthly precipitation accumulations trended
above normal for the remainder of the month in Juneau and Sitka
while hovering around normal for Yakutat. Annette Island accumulated
precip. remained below normal for the entire month in spite of rain
and snow received around the middle of the month and then again in
the last week.
The return of significant precip. to the Panhandle at the end of the
second week of January did not parlay into meaningful snowfall, as
this coincided with one of the warmer times of the month. In fact,
of the three climate sites that report snowfall, only Yakutat came
anywhere close to a climate-normal snow total for the month. Both
Juneau and Annette Island rivaled 2016, the poorest January on
record in terms of snowfall. Still there was significant snowfall in
portions of southeast Alaska this past January. Winter weather
warnings were issued on 5 separate occasions, for Haines, Skagway,
and Misty Fjords.
- 2020 AST: Cloudy with high clouds, a few
stars visible, Moon is heavily veiled.
- 1950: Partly Cloudy with very thin to thinnish
clouds, veiled 25% visible waxing crescent
Moon fairly low in the sky to the WSW - SW.
- 1850: Cloudy with thin to thinnish clouds,
heavily veiled Moon.
- 1750: Very, very thin to thinnish clouds
over the sky, veiled Moon.
- 1730: Very, very thin to thinnish clouds

- 1650: Very thin to thinnish clouds over most

...STRONG NORTHERLY OUTFLOW EVENT TO DEVELOP THURSDAY...
Disruption to aviation and marine operations is likely from
Thursday through much of the weekend for much of Southeast Alaska.
Strengthening high pressure over the Alaska Interior and the
Yukon will increase northerly winds over the panhandle today and
tonight and persist into the weekend. At this time, strongest
winds are expected Thursday through Saturday. There is the
potential for a strong multi-day Taku wind event with 60 to 80 mph
gusts possible for downtown Juneau and Douglas, for which a high
wind watch has been issued. Along with strong winds, cold air will
be ushered into the area with a prolonged period of below
freezing temperatures for the central and northern panhandle. The
cold temperatures combined with strong winds will increase the
threat of freezing spray in the inner channels. Dangerous wind
chills will also likely accompany this event in the higher
elevations including White Pass. Subzero wind chills will be
likely at sea level in local areas of the northern interior
Panhandle.
