Area forecast discussion, Oct 12, 5:00 AM AKDT, 11 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 500 AM AKDT WED OCT 12 2011 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... NORTHERLY OUTFLOW WINDS CONTINUE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SURFACE LOW AND DEVELOPING SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA. AN INTENSIFYING VORTICITY MAXIMUM OVER THE LOWER SUSITNA VALLEY AND NORTHERN KENAI PENINSULA AREAS THIS MORNING IS RESULTING IN A SLIGHT UPTICK IN NORTHERLY OUTFLOW WINDS WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH LATE MORNING. THESE WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM FOR THE MORNING TAF PACKAGE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION TONIGHT. THE FIRST SLUG OF MOISTURE WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES FROM THE DELTA REGION LATER THIS MORNING AND HEAD TOWARDS SOUTHCENTRAL AS IT BEGINS TO OUTRUN ITS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT AND WEAKEN. THE NEXT SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE NORTH PACIFIC THIS AFTERNOON TO THE SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS WILL BRING A MORE MOISTURE-RICH AIR MASS AND WILL BRING RAIN FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND BRINGING TO AN END THE CLEAR AND DRY WEATHER EXPERIENCED FOR MOST OF THE WEEK. BROAD WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE BERING WILL KEEP THE WEATHER BUSY WITH SEVERAL SYSTEMS MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT. THE NAM IS ABOUT 3 TO 6 HOURS SLOWER IN MOVING A DEVELOPING VORTICITY MAXIMUM OVER THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND UPPER COOK INLET REGION EASTWARD THROUGH TONIGHT. OUT IN THE BERING...THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN SPEED AND INTENSITY OF A LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THURSDAY MORNING AND TOWARDS BRISTOL BAY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT BEFORE MOVING INTO THE GULF ON FRIDAY. FOR NOW...PREFERRED THE 00Z EUROPEAN SINCE IT HAS THE SUPPORT OF MOST ENSEMBLE MODELS AS WELL AS THE MESOSCALE NAM...WHILE THE GFS IS A BIT TOO FAST AND NORTHERLY AS THE LOW TREKS ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TOWARDS BRISTOL BAY THURSDAY. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL... OUTFLOW WINDS CONTINUE WITH INTENSIFYING TROUGH ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND INTENSIFYING VORTICITY MAXIMUM OVER THE ANCHORAGE AREA. THIS FEATURE WILL SLIDE EAST TODAY AND THUS OUTFLOW WINDS WILL LIKELY DIMINISH AS UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MOVES OVERHEAD TONIGHT. A WEAK DISTURBANCE DISSIPATES AS IT APPROACHES THE COOK INLET REGION THURSDAY MORNING...BUT WILL REPRESENT THE LEADING SURGE OF MOISTURE AS SOUTHWEST FLOW KICKS IN. LIGHT RAIN SHOULD DEVELOP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THURSDAY BEFORE DOWNSLOPE DRYING DEVELOPS OVER ANCHORAGE. THE FIRST CHANCE OF MEASURABLE SNOW IS POSSIBLE THURSDAY MORNING AT THE VERY BEGINNING IF ENOUGH COLD AIR IS LEFT AROUND...BUT OVERALL EXPECTING TEMPERATURES WARM ENOUGH FOR RAIN. A FAIRLY POTENT SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE NORTHWEST GULF FRIDAY AND THIS SHOULD BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN TO SOUTHCENTRAL...EXCEPT FOR NORTH AND FACING SLOPES OF THE CHUGACH RANGE WHERE DOWNSLOPE DRYING SHOULD PREDOMINATE. SOUTHWEST ALASKA... FIRST SURGE OF MOISTURE MOVING OVER THE DELTA REGION AND WILL BRING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND/OR A RAIN/SNOW SHOWER MIX. A STRONGER PUSH OF MOISTURE ACCOMPANIES A STRONGER FRONT WHICH PUSHES INLAND OVER THE DELTA THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVES QUICKLY INTO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY REGION THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS IT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD MAKE IT TO NEAR BETHEL WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE FORM OF RAIN EXCEPT POSSIBLY A BRIEF MIX ALONG THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PERIPHERY THURSDAY NIGHT. BERING SEA... WARM PUSH OF RAIN AND LOW CEILINGS ACCOMPANIES THE SERIES OF SYSTEMS THAT WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE COMMON IN THE VICINITY OF LOW CENTERS AND FAST-MOVING FRONTS PUSHING EAST ACROSS THE BERING THROUGH FRIDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... CLOUDY AND WET PATTERN APPEARS ON TAP AS THE PRINCIPAL STORM TRACK WILL RESIDE FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. AS THIS OCCURS...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE EAST OFF OF RUSSIA AND BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS THE BERING SEA...AND WILL RESULT IN CONTINUING SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALES...155 170 172 175 179 180 185 FIRE WEATHER...NONE. 29 OCT 11
