Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 1:25 PM AKDT, 2 hours 35 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 125 PM AKDT MON AUG 13 2012 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE DOMINANT FEATURE IN THE ALASKA REGION IS A VERY LARGE CUT-OFF LOW SPINNING A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. A STRONG VORT-MAX IS MOVING UP THE EAST SIDE OF THE LOW AND WILL HELP SHIFT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM NORTHWARD. IN THE LOW LEVELS AN OCCLUDED FRONT IS APPROACHING THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA WITH RAIN AND SMALL CRAFT WINDS OVERSPREADING THE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND TO THE BERING SEA AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THE 12Z ANCHORAGE SOUNDING SHOWS MULTIPLE INVERSIONS WHICH IS HELPING TO TRAP A MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OVER ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT-SU. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW ISOLATED AREAS OF FOG AND STRATUS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE GULF COAST. EXPECT ALL OF THIS TO DISSIPATE THIS AFTERNOON AS SUN BREAKS THROUGH AND CREATES MORE INSTABILITY TO MIX OUT OR WEAKEN THE SHALLOW INVERSIONS. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT AND SHOW GOOD RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. THUS...LITTLE CHANGE WILL BE MADE TO EXISTING FORECASTS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...WITH A STABLE AIRMASS OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND DIURNAL CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED TO OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THE AIRMASS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA IS MUCH DRIER THAN SOUTHCENTRAL... AS INDICATED BY THE BETHEL AND MCGRATH SOUNDINGS AND CLEAR SKIES OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA THIS MORNING. SOUTHCENTRAL HAS MORE MOISTURE IN PLACE...BUT STABILITY INDICES ARE WEAK. BOTTOM LINE...CONVECTION WILL GENERALLY BE ISOLATED. AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY A FEW OF THESE SHOWERS MAY MOVE OFF THE MOUNTAINS...BUT WON'T MOVE VERY FAR DUE TO WEAK FLOW. THESE CONDITIONS WILL LAST THROUGH TUESDAY. CLOUDS AND MORE STABLE AIR WILL MOVE IN ON WEDNESDAY OUT AHEAD OF LOW MOVING UP FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC. THE STRONG VORT-MAX ON EAST SIDE OF UPPER LOW WILL CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPMENT OF A WEAK SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS LOW WILL QUICKLY BECOME THE DOMINANT LOW AND FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY MOVE NORTHWARD TONIGHT TO WHERE THE CURRENT FRONT IS POSITIONED (ALONG THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS). THIS SECOND FRONT WILL THEN CONTINUE NORTHWARD ACROSS BRISTOL BAY AND THE GULF TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW WOBBLES ITS WAY TO JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND. THE FRONT WILL ELONGATE AND WEAKEN AS IT PROGRESSES NORTHWARD SO MOST OF RAIN WILL BE CONFINED TO THE COAST WITH PERHAPS JUST A FEW SHOWERS INLAND. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DROP OUT OF RUSSIA INTO THE WESTERN BERING TUESDAY NIGHT SUPPRESSING THE RIDGE CURRENTLY IN PLACE SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC. THE BULK OF THE ENERGY WILL REMAIN OVER THE ARCTIC...BUT A LONG SURFACE FRONT WILL TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE. THE UPPER LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ON THURSDAY WILL QUICKLY TRACK NORTHEASTWARD TO THE YUKON FRIDAY NIGHT AS ANOTHER UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE BERING. THIS MEANS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND WILL LARGELY REMAIN DRY WITH PERHAPS SOME CONVECTION MID TO LATE WEEK. WITH A MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN THE UPPER LOW OVER THE BERING WILL HEAD TOWARD THE MAINLAND OVER THE WEEKEND LIKELY RESULTING IN WIDESPREAD RAIN. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB AUG 12
