Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 5:00 AM AKST, 11 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST SAT DEC 25 2010
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN FROM YESTERDAY MORNING.
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENCOMPASSES MUCH OF THE MAINLAND WITH A WEAK
CUT-OFF LOW AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL GULF. A STRONG
BLOCKING HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE IS ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHERN AND
WESTERN BERING SEA. THE 100 KT UPPER LEVEL JET TRAVERSES THE
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND PLUNGES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN
BERING SEA.
AT THE SURFACE...A CONTINUED WEAK CYCLONIC OFFSHORE FLOW PATTERN IS
DRAWING DRIER AND COOLER AIR FROM THE INTERIOR INTO THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND. SNOW SHOWERS ARE PREVALENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN
BERING AND AKPEN...DRIVEN BY THE COLD AIR INTERACTING WITH THE
RELATIVELY WARM OCEAN WATERS. WIDESPREAD NORTHERLY GALE FORCE WINDS
PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
JET. THE CENTRAL BERING REMAINS RELATIVELY CALM UNDER A SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CELL WHILE A WEATHER FRONT IS STALLED OVER THE FAR WESTERN
ALEUTIANS...UNABLE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD DUE TO THE BLOCKING HIGH.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS INITIALIZED WELL AND REMAIN IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH
THE EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE MODELS ARE STILL STRUGGLING IN THE SHORT
TERM WITH THE COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE GULF...BUT ARE IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THE MEAN TRACK AND LOCATION OF THE LOW COMPLEX.
THE ECMWF AND NAM ARE DOING A BETTER JOB AT RESOLVING THE MULTIPLE
LOW CENTERS THAN THE COARSER GFS...THUS THIS MORNING'S CONFIDENCE
LEANED TOWARDS A BLEND OF THESE TWO MODELS. HOWEVER...FORECAST
CONFIDENCE REMAINS BELOW AVERAGE WITH THE EXACT TRACK AND EFFECTS
WITH THIS SYSTEM IN THE GULF.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL...SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL GENERALLY
INCREASE IN COVERAGE TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT. A FEW FLURRIES ARE
FALLING IN THE ANCHORAGE AREA THIS MORNING...BUT SHOULD DIMINISH BY
LATE THIS MORNING. A SURFACE LOW IN THE EASTERN GULF IS SUPPORTED
ALOFT BY A SHORTWAVE TROUGH...AND IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH GULF
COAST THIS MORNING. THIS WILL ACT TO FOCUS SNOW SHOWERS INTO A
STEADIER BAND LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THAT WILL IMPACT
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA WITH A FEW
INCHES OF SNOW BY SUNDAY MORNING. AS THE LARGE AND COMPLEX LOW
BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY IN THE WESTERN GULF THIS EVENING...THE
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN WILL BECOME A PROLONGED LIGHT SNOW EVENT FOR
KODIAK ISLAND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COLD ENOUGH FOR ALL
SNOW...AND WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT...SO MOST LIKELY SCENARIO
SEEMS TO BE PERIODS OF SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH SHORTWAVES AND WEAK
SURFACE LOWS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...EACH DEPOSITING AN INCH OR
TWO OF SNOWFALL.
.SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...VERY COLD AIRMASS MOVING TO THE SOUTHWEST TODAY
AND WILL MOVE OUT INTO THE BERING TOMORROW. WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT MINIMUM WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA ALONG THE
DELTA AND BRISTOL BAY ZONES...THUS WILL CONTINUE EXISTING ADVISORIES.
TEMPERATURES MODERATE A BIT MONDAY...BUT OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN
REMAINS UNSEASONABLY CALM THROUGH MIDWEEK.
.BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...STATIONARY HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL
BERING MEANS GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE EASTERN
BERING. MEANWHILE...STALLED FRONT OVER THE WESTERN BERING WILL WEAKEN
AND SLOWLY DROP SOUTHWARD THROUGH MONDAY.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
LONG RANGE MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO SUGGEST A PATTERN SHIFT BY NEXT
WEEKEND...WITH ACTIVE WEATHER RETURNING TO THE BERING SEA. EXTREME
COLD OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA SHOULD CONTINUE TO SHIFT OVER TO THE
BERING SEA REGION...WHILE TEMPERATURES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ARE LIKELY
TO REBOUND SIGNIFICANTLY TO NEAR SEASONAL NORMS WITH A MORE
PROGRESSIVE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN.
