NWS Special Statement Statement as of 4:06 PM AKST on November 20, 2012 A developing low pressure system in the northeast Pacific will intensify as it moves into the southeast Gulf late Wednesday night or early Thanksgiving day. This incoming low will produce strong winds and potentially heavy precipitation over Southeast Alaska from late Wednesday night through Saturday. As of Tuesday afternoon...the storm is expected to move north across the eastern Gulf and slowly weaken there through late Saturday night. Persistent high pressure over western Canada in conjunction with low pressure over the Gulf will continue to generate strong northeasterly offshore winds. Winds will continue to be strongest over the northern Inner Channels and in the vicinity of the Coast Mountains. At the same time...the incoming storm will bring strong southerly winds over the central and southern Panhandle. The adjacent coastal marine areas will be affected with near hurricane force winds. A relatively warm air mass will accompany the low as it moves onshore over the Panhandle. With persisting Arctic air to the north...potential for significant over running and heavy snowfall cannot be ruled out completely...especially across the central Panhandle. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1550: Clear, breezy, small bit of snow blowing off Mt.

NWS Special Statement Statement as of 5:36 AM AKST on November 20, 2012 A developing low pressure system in the northeast Pacific will intensify as it moves into the southeast Gulf on Thanksgiving day. This incoming low will produce strong winds and precipitation over the Alaskan Panhandle from late Wednesday night through Saturday. At this time...the storm is expected to move north across the eastern Gulf and slowly weaken there through late Saturday night. Persisting Arctic high over the Yukon will enhance northerly strong winds across the northern Panhandle...while the incoming storm will bring strong southerly winds over the central and southern Panhandle. The adjacent coastal marine areas will be affected with possible storm force winds. A relatively warm air mass will accompany the low as it moves onshore over the Panhandle. With persisting Arctic air to the north...potential significant snowfall cannot be ruled out completely...especially across the central Panhandle. The exact track of the system is still uncertain at this moment but confidence is increasing with each forecast update to determine exactly which areas will see the strongest winds. If the system tracks a little farther west than current forecasts...the strong winds and precipitation may not reach as far to the northeastern Gulf Coast. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Mon. 11/19/12: NWS: Windy conditions expected Thanksgiving through Saturday (updated for potential significant snow and/or freezing drizzle) - See 1910 Below | The High Wind Warning has been Cancelled for downtown Juneau and Douglas - See 0439 Below 2050 AST: Cloudy with a few filtered - heavily filtered breaks, light to breezy wind with gusts.
