Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 1:00 PM AKDT, 3 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 100 PM AKDT THU AUG 11 2011 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A RIDGE IS CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN BERING WITH TROUGHS ON EITHER SIDE FROM SOUTHEAST ALASKA TO THE ALCAN BORDER AND OVER THE FAR WESTERN BERING SEA. SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IS SEEING THE BEST WEATHER THIS MORNING ON THE PERIPHERY BETWEEN THE RIDGE AND TROUGH WITH WIDESPREAD SUNNY SKIES. OFFSHORE FLOW IS CONTRIBUTING TO LOWER PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. THIS IS PRODUCING LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS IN THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA. A LACK OF A SEA BREEZE WITH OFFSHORE FLOW ALONG WITH COMPRESSIONAL WARMING AS AIR MOVES OFF THE MOUNTAINS MEANS TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER ALONG THE COAST THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME. AS OF LATE MORNING TEMPERATURES IN VALDEZ HAD ALREADY CLIMBED INTO THE UPPER 60S. THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE ALEUTIANS TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA IS EXPERIENCING WIDESPREAD CLOUDS AND FOG AS MOISTURE AND WARM AIR FLOW UP AND OVER THE RIDGE. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS REMAIN INCONSISTENT IN HANDLING OF ENERGY MOVING OUT OF SIBERIA AND DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE RIDGE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL THIS WEEKEND. 12Z GFS IS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN ANY OTHER MODEL IN DROPPING A SHORT-WAVE DOWN ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ON SATURDAY. IN FACT THE OTHER MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD A WEAKER WAVE AND MAINTAINING MORE RIDGING OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHCENTRAL. SOLUTIONS DIVERGE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY SUNDAY ONWARDS WITH ECMWF RAPIDLY DROPPING UPPER LOW DOWN TO SOUTHCENTRAL. BASED ON THE HIGH LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY WILL STICK WITH A FAIRLY BROAD BRUSH FORECAST FOR PRECIPITATION CHANCES. CONSISTENCY IS BETTER OUT WEST WITH MOISTURE MOVING AROUND THE RIDGE AND INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA SO JUST PLAN TO FINE TUNE CURRENT FORECASTS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS IN THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AS THE RIDGE BUILDS IN A BIT MORE FROM THE WEST AND THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WEAKENS. BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SHIFT AROUND WITH LOWER PRESSURE OVER LAND THAN OVER THE WATER...SO WEAK SEA BREEZES WILL FROM AND TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL ACROSS THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA. UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE FRIDAY WILL BE ANOTHER MOSTLY SUNNY DAY. THIS WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WITH MOISTURE COMING OVER RIDGE ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA COMBINED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOMETHING DROPPING DOWN OUT OF THE NORTH. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE DUE TO INCONSISTENCY IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS. IT DOES LOOK LIKE THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL BE OVER INLAND AREAS ON SATURDAY WITH HIGHER CHANCES SPREADING TO ALL OF SOUTHCENTRAL BY SUNDAY. SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...FLOW UP AND OVER THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A STEADY STREAM OF WARM AIR AND MOISTURE. WEAK UPPER LEVEL FEATURES WILL WORK WITHIN THIS ENVIRONMENT TO PRODUCE AREAS OF RAIN. THE MOST ORGANIZED FEATURE IS A SHORT-WAVE OVER THE FAR NORTHERN BERING WHICH WILL PUSH INTO WESTERN ALASKA TONIGHT. RAIN CURRENTLY MOVING ONSHORE ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WILL SPREAD TO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. FORECAST UNCERTAINTY RISES CONSIDERABLY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH UPPER LOW DROPPING DOWN FROM THE ARCTIC...BUT CHANCES ARE COOL AND WET CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THE OTHER AREA LIKELY TO SEE SOME STEADY RAIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS IS ALONG THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AS WEAK LOWS PASS JUST TO THE WEST. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN VERY FAVORABLE FOR FOG AND DRIZZLE. .LONG TERM FORECAST...FORECAST CONFIDENCE DURING THE DAY 4 THROUGH 7 PERIOD IS VERY LOW DUE TO SIGNIFICANT RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCIES IN THE MODELS ALONG WITH LARGE ENSEMBLE SPREAD. THERE IS ONE VERY IMPORTANT IDEA THEY DO AGREE ON.
