...STRONG NORTHERLY OUTFLOW EVENT TO DEVELOP LATER THIS WEEK...
Disruption to aviation and marine operations is likely later this
week especially from Thursday onward.
Strengthening high pressure over the Alaska Interior and the
Yukon will increase northerly winds over the panhandle Wednesday
and persist into the weekend. At this time, strongest winds are
expected Thursday through Saturday. With the expected weather
pattern, there is the potential for a strong multi day Taku wind
event for downtown Juneau and Douglas. 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.

...WARM AND WETTER WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK...
After a prolonged period of cold and windy weather across Southeast
Alaska, a shift to warmer and wetter weather is still on track by
the weekend. Clouds will begin to increase over the Panhandle
Wednesday. A light amount of accumulating snow down to sea level
is possible by late Wednesday and into Thursday in the central and
northern Panhandle. Strengthening southerly winds will bring milder
temperatures and transition snow to rain from south to north
Thursday into Friday. A stronger weather system will approach the
Panhandle from the southwest Friday and into the weekend with
moderate to heavy precipitation. Temperatures will have moderated
enough over a large portion of the area for this to fall as rain.
Temperatures will be cold enough across the far northern Panhandle
and Hyder for precipitation to remain as snow.
Some travel impact is possible as rain falls on the existing snow
and ice pack causing slippery conditions. Significant accumulations
are possible especially along the Klondike and Haines highways
Saturday.

...WARM AND WET WEATHER LATER THIS WEEK...
After a prolonged period of cold and windy weather across
Southeast Alaska, the weather pattern will shift warmer and
wet by the weekend. Before this occurs, a weak low in the
northern Gulf is expected to produce accumulating snow at sea
level in the central and northern Panhandle late Wednesday and
into Thursday. At this time, snowfall amounts with this system are
not expected to be heavy. Strengthening southerly winds will
transition snow to rain from south to north Thursday into Friday.
A strong weather system will approach the Panhandle from the
southwest on Friday and into the weekend with moderate to heavy
precipitation. Temperatures will have moderated enough over a
large portion of the area for this to fall as rain. Some travel

- Editor (me): There were periods in the 1970's -
1980's where data at the Juneau Airport is
either missing, incomplete, or not official
NWS measurements as Airport staff took measurements
on an ad-hoc basis. 3 months in 1985 are
also missing. Annex Creek actually has better
records (though they ended June 1, 1989)
and they go back to the establishment of
the Annex Creek Hydroelectric Project.

Confidence in a widespread fog event is decreasing as cold

preventing fog formation in many locations. However, with the

across the area. Wind sheltered areas and locations with snowpack
remain the most favored to experience dense fog. Visibility could
become poor at times and cause disruptions to aviation and marine

Conditions will become favorable for the development of fog

Winds through the inner channels will gradually decrease along
with building high pressure aloft. Wind sheltered areas and
locations with snowpack are most favored to experience potentially
dense fog. Visibility could become poor at times and cause
disruptions to aviation and marine travel. The fog threat will end

A very strong northerly outflow event is becoming more likely

- NWS Summary of December 2016 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...VERY SNOWY AND COLD START TO DECEMBER...
A cold air outbreak that began at the very end of November continued
into December. The coldest air penetrated from Canada at the start
of the second week when temperatures in the Mendenhall Valley fell
below zero for the first time since March of 2014. Elsewhere, the
very cold temperatures resulted in wind chill advisories along both
highways and freezing spray over portions of the inner channels.
Temperatures rebounded in the third week of the month to near normal
or even above normal values. There was a slight cool down leading up
to Christmas, but temperatures once again returned to near normal or
slightly above normal for the last week of the month.
Total accumulated precipitation for the month ranged from below
normal for the northern and southern ends of the panhandle, to above
normal for the central outer coast and central inner channels. Most
of the precipitation that fell during the month occurred in the
first half of the first week, and again during the third week of the
month. The first two weeks of the month featured a major snow event
that produced up to 32 inches of snow over a 48 hour period. In
spite of the lower than normal total precipitation in the Yakutat
area, snowfall totaling more than 10 inches in the first week of
the month kept the monthly snowfall very close to a normal value.
Precipitation toward the end of the month fell both as rain and snow
in many locations, owing to the warmer than normal temperatures that
occurred late in the month.

...POTENTIAL FOR PROLONGED FOG EVENT EARLY THIS WEEK...
Conditions are becoming more and more favorable for a prolonged,
potentially dense, fog event Sunday night into mid week. Winds
through the inner channels will gradually decrease along with an
inversion of increasing temperatures aloft. The inversion looks
strongest from Kake north to Yakutat and over the Gulf on Monday
and confidence is greatest for areas of fog in these places. An
increase in north wind on Wednesday will likely put an end to the
fog event.
Visibility could become poor at times and cause disruptions to
aviation and marine travel. This situation will be monitored
closely over the next few days.
