Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 2:05 PM AKDT, 1 hour 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
205 PM AKDT MON APR 13 2009
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...IN THE UPPER LEVELS A LARGE COMPLEX
CUT-OFF LOW IS TRACKING EASTWARD ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN IN A
PROGRESSIVE SOUTHERN STREAM. THERE IS A DECENT JET STREAK ON THE
DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THIS LOW. THIS JET COMBINED WITH COLD AIR
FEEDING INTO THE SYSTEM IN THE LOW LEVELS ARE AIDING IN TRIPLE
POINT DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WHILE THE ORIGINAL
LOW WEAKENS BACK NEAR ADAK. A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT EXISTS
BETWEEN THIS LOW COMPLEX AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN BERING.
COLD AIR IS ALSO ADVECTING OFF OF THE ICE EDGE AND CONTRIBUTING TO
THE MAX GALE TO MIN STORM FORCE WINDS BEING OBSERVED OVER THE
CENTRAL TO EASTERN BERING.
A SMALLER BUT SLIGHTLY COLDER UPPER LOW IS CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHWEST ALASKA DRIFTING NORTHEASTWARD AS HEIGHTS RISE OVER THE GULF
AHEAD OF THE ALEUTIAN LOW. 12Z SOUNDING FROM BETHEL SHOWS THE EXTENT
OF COLD AIR ALOFT WITH THIS LOW...WITH AN 850H TEMP OF -23 DEGREES
AND 500H TEMP OF -37 DEGREES. AS SOME OF THIS COLDER AIR MOVED OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING INSTABILITY PRODUCED SOME FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE ANCHORAGE AREA. SHOWERS CONTINUE THIS MORNING
AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH WHICH IS SWINGING
NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT...ALTHOUGH
THERE CONTINUES TO BE MINOR DIFFERENCES IN POSITION OF SURFACE
LOW CENTERS...AS WOULD BE EXPECTED WITH A COMPLEX UPPER LOW. NO
MAJOR CHANGES PLANNED FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECAST.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE REGION WILL EXIT TO
THE NORTH TONIGHT. HOWEVER...OVERUNNING AHEAD OF THE ALEUTIAN STORM
WILL RESULT IN CLOUDY SKIES AND AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW SPREADING FROM
KODIAK ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON TO THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE...A SURFACE RIDGE BUILD OVERHEAD THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN
QUICKLY MOVE INLAND TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A BRIEF PERIOD OF
STRONG TURNAGAIN ARM WINDS...ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS THROUGH SOME
OTHER TYPICAL LOCATIONS SUCH AS THE KNIK RIVER VALLEY AND THE
COPPER RIVER. DOWNSLOPING USUALLY WORKS AGAINST THE OVERUNNING
PRECIPITATION THROUGH DOWNSLOPE DRYING...BUT THIS IS A MARGINAL
WIND EVENT AND STILL EXPECT FLURRIES OR VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION
IN LEE SIDE AREAS.
AS THE FRONT ENTERS THE GULF TOMORROW MORNING EAST WINDS WILL BECOME
FAVORABLE THROUGH PORTAGE VALLEY INTO EASTERN TURNAGAIN ARM AND THESE
WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THE FRONT TRACKS NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY. THE
UPPER LEVEL COLD AIR IN PLACE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WILL ENSURE
PRECIPITATION WILL FALL AS ALL SNOW...AND THE FRONT WILL STALL OVER
THE GULF LATE TUESDAY...SO THERE WONT BE MUCH OF A WARM-UP OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL. THEREFORE...A BLIZZARD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR
PORTAGE VALLEY AND TURNAGAIN ARM TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THE UNCERTAINTY HERE IS WHETHER PRECIPITATION WILL BE HEAVY
ENOUGH AND STEADY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN A SURFACE TEMPERATURE AROUND
FREEZING TO ALLOW SNOW TO EFFECTIVELY BLOW AND REDUCE VISIBILITIES.
AFTER THE INITIAL OVERUNNING PRECIPITATION MOST OF INLAND
SOUTHCENTRAL WILL REMAIN MOSTLY DRY WITH JUST SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS
AS THE SYSTEM REMAINS DOWN OVER THE GULF AND NORTH PACIFIC. THIS LOW
COMPLEX LOOKS LIKE IT WILL REMAIN OVER THE GULF THROUGH THE ENTIRE
FORECAST PERIOD...MAINTAINING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE COAST.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE UPPER LOW WILL EXIT TO INTERIOR ALASKA
TONIGHT...BUT COLD AIR IN PLACE WILL RESULT IN SOME VERY COLD
LOW TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND VICINITY
TONIGHT. PRECIPITATION FROM THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL SPREAD NORTH AND
WEST ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH MOST IF
NOT ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION STAYING SOUTH AND EAST OF MCGRATH AND
BETHEL. GUSTY NORTHERLIES WILL ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL
ONCE AGAIN AFFECT THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AS WINTER CONTINUES TO HANG
ON. AS THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GULF/NORTH PACIFIC TUESDAY
NIGHT SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL DRY OUT AND REMAIN THAT WAY THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEK.
BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL BECOME DOMINANT THIS EVENING. AS THE UPPER
LOW COMPLEX CONTINUES EASTWARD YET ANOTHER TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL
DEVELOP SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND LATE TONIGHT AND THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS LOW WILL THEN TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE PACIFIC ON
TUESDAY. COLD ADVECTION AND TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SLID GALE FORCE WINDS
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH DIMINISHING WINDS THEREAFTER. A RIDGE
WILL BUILD OVER THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHWEST BERING MID WEEK...SETTING
UP A MUCH MORE AMPLIFIED LONG-WAVE PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND MEANS DRY OFF-SHORE FLOW FOR THE MAINLAND AS A
WEAK LOW RESIDES IN THE SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. TEMPERATURES NEAR
NORMAL CAN BE EXPECTED AS THE SNOW MELT SEASON CONTINUES.
.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...BLIZZARD WATCH 125.
MARINE...GALE...120 130 132 138 150 155 160 165 170 171 172 179.
