Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 12:35 PM AKDT, 15 hours 25 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 1235 PM AKDT MON APR 25 2011 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE PATTERN DOMINATES THE UPPER LEVELS...SO NO MAJOR STORMS TO SPEAK OF IN THE SHORT-TERM. THE MAIN FEATURE AFFECTING THE REGION IS A CLOSED LOW OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. IT IS WEAKENING AS IT TRACKS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE PACIFIC. WEAK WAVES OUT AHEAD OF THIS LOW ARE ROTATING NORTHWARD AND WESTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND PRODUCING SHOWERS. THE FOCUS OF THESE SHOWERS IS AROUND TWO SURFACE LOWS... ONE JUST SOUTH OF PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND ANOTHER OVER BRISTOL BAY. ARCTIC AIR IS FEEDING IN BEHIND THE BRISTOL BAY LOW WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING AS SNOW AS YOU HEAD SOUTH OF KING SALMON ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA. .MODEL DISCUSSION...THERE CONTINUE TO BE SOME DIFFERENCES IN TRACK OF LOW ALONG THE ALEUTIANS ON WEDNESDAY. ECMWF HAS TRENDED NORTHWARD WHILE GFS HAS TRENDED SOUTHWARD. GFS HAS GOOD SUPPORT FROM ENSEMBLE MEMBERS WITH VERY LITTLE SPREAD AMONG SOLUTIONS...SO WILL SIDE WITH THE GFS TRACK. OTHERWISE...THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT IN SYNOPTIC FEATURES THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS LOOK RELATIVELY SIMILAR WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND A FEW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVES TRACKING NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF. MARGINALLY COLDER AIR ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY FILTER IN FROM THE SOUTH CREATING SLIGHTLY MORE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. ON WEDNESDAY A VERY WEAK RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN ALOFT WHICH WILL RESULT IN MORE SUNSHINE AND WARMER TEMPERATURES. THIS IN TURN WILL RESULT DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS...PRIMARILY ALONG THE MOUNTAINS. SOUTHWEST ALASKA...SURFACE LOW OVER BRISTOL BAY WILL MOVE TO OFF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST TONIGHT WHERE IT WILL SIT AND DISSIPATE ON TUESDAY. ARCTIC AIR WILL ALSO MAKE ITS WAY NORTHWARD AND CHANGE PRECIPITATION TYPE TO SNOW ACROSS MOST OF THE BRISTOL BAY REGION TONIGHT. AREAS TO THE NORTH WON'T SEE COLDER AIR UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT BY WHICH POINT SHOWER COVERAGE WILL BE GREATLY REDUCED. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...AS ONE LOW SOUTH OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA TRACKS TOWARD THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS A TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL DEVELOP TO THE SOUTH ALONG A BEND IN THE UPPER JET. WITH THE UPPER SUPPORT THIS LOW WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS LATE TUESDAY AND THEN STALL AND WEAKEN NEAR DUTCH HARBOR BY THURSDAY AS UPPER JET PASSES BY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. MUCH WARMER AIR WILL ACCOMPANY THE LOW SO PRECIPITATION WILL FALL MAINLY AS RAIN. HOWEVER...COLDER AIR WILL FEED INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY CHANGING PRECIPITATION BACK TO SNOW IN SOME AREAS. .LONG TERM FORECAST...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...BUT STILL PROGRESSIVE. THE LOW ALONG THE ALEUTIANS MID WEEK WILL MOVE DOWN INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEKEND WHILE ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES IN FROM THE WEST. THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA COAST MAY SEE SOME AFFECTS FROM THIS ALEUTIAN SYSTEM...BUT AREAS FURTHER NORTH AND WEST WILL BE PROTECTED BY A STRENGTHENING RIDGE OVER INTERIOR SOUTHWEST. THERE MAY BE SOME DIURNAL CONVECTION ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS RIDGE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...BUT ALL IN ALL EXPECT MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS AND QUITE A BIT OF SUNSHINE. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING...170 172 175. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB APR 11
