KERI forecast for 12/1/2011

The forecast for Thursday looks to be much calmer as the system that brought rain and snow to the area the past two days exits the region. With this, expect highs to be in the lower to mid 40's with mostly sunny skies along with some breezy conditions during the afternoon and evening. The next shot at precipitation comes Friday with a slight chance of snow.

KERI 24 NOV 2011

High pressure will remain in the area throughout the day. High temps will continue to near 60 with lows in the mid-40's. The pressure gradient will remain fairly tight giving winds near 20 knots and gusts in the mid-20's.

PAJN forecast for 11/18/2011

Conditions in the forecast area will continue to be gusty, with highs in the low 20's and low temperatures hovering in the middle to low teens. The surface low pressure system will move out of the region, therefore no precipitation is expected.

17 NOV 2011 PAJN

The pressure will continue to deepen and then move south along the coast. Precip in the form of snow will occur in the mountains and along the coast. Juneau may only get an inch or two. Winds will be high and from the north, north-northeast bringing temperatures to mid-20's and a low in the teens over night. Gusty conditions in the afternoon and evening.

11/16/2011 Forecast for PAJN

Interesting weather for tomorrow! A strong low pressure system will move southeastward across the Gulf of Alaska tonight into early tomorrow morning bringing with it snow, rain and gusty winds to the area. Expect the precipitation to increase across the area this evening. While it may mix with rain at first it should change over to all snow. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from 6pm tonight until 9am tomorrow morning. Snow amounts will most likely be in the 6-10 inch range. Winds will increase to between 20-30 knots and continue throughout much of the day tomorrow. Look for temperatures to hover in the upper 20's to low 30's for the day. Snow should taper off by the afternoon, with only a slight chance tomorrow night.

Forecast Discussion for Tuesday, November 15, 2011 (PAJN)

A trough will be draped across the Alaska panhandle, as indicated by the current surface (12Z) analysis chart.  This weak trough will be followed by a stronger system moving into the area early Wednesday.  In the meantime, we can expect the snow showers to continue with accumulations of less than 2" for the period.  We can also expect southeasterly surface flow throughout the period as well.

Highs on Tuesday around freezing with winds around 10 kts.  For Thursday night, we can expect lows to be in the mid-20's with increasing SE winds to around 15-20 kts. 

Weekly Outlook for Juneau, AK

Juneau is under the influence of a trough of low pressure and should expect snow today, as the day goes on the trough will progress on as a high pressure system moves into the region. Later in the week a system of lows will be moving in bringing in a rain/snow mix. Expect temperatures in the 20s-30s this week, winds to be around 20 mph at times, and precipitation is to be expected both as rain and snow.

Juneau, Nov. 11

The already narrow extremes in temperature will be kept even more so as one low passes Thursday evening and another on Friday. This will cause precipitation, (Mostly rain, but snow is possible.) Over both nights but not much during Friday during the day.

Juneau, AK forecast for November 10, 2011

Expect high temperatures to be in the upper 30's to lower 40's, with low temperatures in the low 30's. Surface winds will be between 10 and 15 knots, with possible gusts to 20 knots. There is a chance of precipitation throughout the day.

Forecast for Nov. 8th (PAJN)

Expect high temperatures to hover in the mid 30's for the day with a good chance of a rain/snow mix throughout the day. It will be breezy at times with winds between 10-15 knots.

Weekly Outlook for Juneau, AK (PAJN); Nov. 7 thru Nov. 11

There are two features of interest for the forecast this week: 

1)  On Tuesday, an upper trough will push its way across the eastern Gulf of Alaska, ushering in a weak surface low.  This feature will have a cold front associated with it, and will cool the temperatures to allow the rain showers to become snow across the area.  This system will quickly push out before the larger of these two systems moves in.

2)  Beginning on Wednesday, a deep low pressure system coming from Russia will make its way across the gulf of Alaska, deepening more in the process.  Although there is some disagreement between the models as to the exact track of this system, there is enough agreement in the timing for the FROPA associated with this second system to affect the area on Thursday.  Again, there are some big disagreements in the models, so this feature will be one to watch.

Overall, the classic Maritime climate pattern will rule the area with seasonal temperatures along with chances for rain every day with the exception for Tuesday, when the rain will mix with snow.  Highs will be in the upper 30's with lows in the mid 20's.  Winds will vary, depending on the location of the passing ETC's but will average around 10-15 MPH for any given day, again subject to the location and track of the passing ETC's.

Friday's Forecast for KDAY

On Friday, Dayton will be mostly sunny by day and mostly clear by night. Temperatures are expected to reach a high of mid-50s. Winds are expected to be around 9 knots by day, and around 4 kts in the evening and will be shifting from a Northeasterly direction to a more easterly direction. No precipitation is expected on Friday.

KDAY Forecast for Thursday, November 3 2011

The high of Wednesday will move East as a system moves over the midwest. This system will likely reach Dayton creating a moderate chance of precipitation through the afternoon and evening. After temperatures fall overnight to the low 40s they will only recover to the 50s. Winds will also be moderate.

KDAY forecast for Wednesday, November 3, 2011.

Dayton is currently under a high pressure pattern, bringing calmer weather and seasonal temperatures to the forecast area. Expect highs to be in the upper 50's to low 60's, with low temperatures hovering around the low 40's. No precipitation is expected, and surface winds should remain calm between 5-10 knots.
