Area forecast discussion, May 29, 1:15 PM AKDT, 14 hours 45 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 115 PM AKDT SUN MAY 29 2011 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A TROUGH AXIS EXTENDS FROM A LARGE UPPER LOW JUST SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TO A SMALLER AND WEAKER LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF. AS THE GULF LOW EXITS TO THE EAST RIDGING FROM BOTH THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH IS BEGINNING TO PINCH OFF THE TROUGH BETWEEN THE LOWS. THE SOUTHWARD BUILDING OF THE RIDGE FROM THE NORTHERN MAINLAND IS RESULTING IN DECREASING CLOUDS ACROSS INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING. THE GULF COAST IS SITTING UNDER A STRATUS DECK...BUT EXPECT INCREASING NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT TO HELP GET RID OF AT LEAST SOME OF THIS DURING THE AFTERNOON. CLOUD COVER OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA IS A LITTLE MORE EXTENSIVE AS A PORTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE BERING ROTATES NORTHWARD. THE SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS IS QUITE HARMLESS WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE OF AROUND 1000 MB. HOWEVER...A 100 TO 150KT UPPER JET MOVING AROUND THE SOUTH TO EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER CENTER IS RESULTING IN SURFACE LOW FORMATION OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL PACIFIC. THIS DOWNSTREAM LOW WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER PRODUCER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. .MODEL DISCUSSION...THERE ARE SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES IN HANDLING OF DEVELOPING SYSTEM(S) OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC...ESPECIALLY IN THE MONDAY TO MONDAY NIGHT PERIOD. THE ECMWF IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH ITS DEPICTION OF TWO LOWS...WITH THE FIRST LOW MOVING TO NEAR DUTCH AS THE OTHER MODELS SHOW AND THEN A SECOND LOW FOLLOWING A SIMILAR TRACK AND QUICKLY BECOMING THE DOMINANT LOW MONDAY NIGHT. SINCE OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARD ECMWF WITH HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM PLAN TO BLEND EXISTING FORECAST 50 PERCENT TOWARD THE 12Z ECMWF. ELSEWHERE...MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHERN MAINLAND...UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OVERHEAD OF SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT PROVIDING FOR PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE REGION. MEANWHILE..REMNANTS OF UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA MAINTAINING CLOUDY SKIES INLAND. MOST OF THIS SHOULD CLEAR OUT MONDAY AS THE TROUGH EXITS AND RIDGE BUILDS IN BEHIND IT. THERMAL TROUGH WILL BUILD BACK SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY BECOMING CENTERED RIGHT OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. EVEN WITH RIDGE OVERHEAD LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO PRODUCE A FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS AS WELL AS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY INLAND AREAS FROM THE SUSITNA VALLEY TO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. MODELS INDICATE SOME CONVECTIVE INHIBITION WITH THE RIDGE ALOFT...BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY PUT A CAP ON CONVECTION. SOUTHWEST ALASKA LOOKS MUCH MORE STABLE AND CAN EXPECT A SUNNY AND DRY DAY. A PATTERN CHANGE WILL ARRIVE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS EASTWARD AND A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE BERING SEA MOVES OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA. WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE DOWNSTREAM THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW TO PROGRESS EASTWARD...INSTEAD STRETCHING OUT ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE. THUS...EXPECT A MUCH WEAKER FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHCENTRAL TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. IN FACT...THE BULK OF OF THE RAIN WILL LIKELY FALL ALONG THE GULF COAST...COOK INLET...AND WESTERN SUSITNA VALLEY WITH VERY LITTLE ELSEWHERE. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...A MORE AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL RESULT IN DEEPER LOW(S) MOVING UP INTO THE BERING SEA THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. AS A STRONG SURFACE LOW MOVES TO THE CENTRAL BERING TUESDAY AN UPPER CENTER WILL QUICKLY DEVELOP OVERHEAD. THE CURRENT LOW NEAR THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL THEN WEAKEN AND MERGE INTO THE ROTATION AROUND THE NEW LOW. .LONG TERM FORECAST...THE NEXT MAJOR STORM TO MOVE INTO THE ALASKA REGION WILL BE THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON SONGDA. MODELS ARE NOT CONSISTENT IN THE TIMING...BUT SHOW THE SAME BASIC SOLUTION WITH THE MAIN CENTER TRACKING TO THE EASTERN BERING OR NEAR THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA AND A TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPING NEAR KODIAK ISLAND AND MOVING INTO THE GULF. RIDING TO THE NORTH AND EAST SHOULD KEEP THE WORST OF THE IMPACTS ALONG COASTAL AREAS OF THE EASTERN BERING AND GULF. THE BEST ESTIMATE OF TIMING OF IMPACTS OF THIS SYSTEM IS THURSDAY OUT WEST AND FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING...155 160 165 170 180. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB MAY 11
