SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1230 PM AKST SAT DEC 8 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A LARGE AND STRONG STORM SYSTEM CENTERED
JUST SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS IS BRINGING AN END TO A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF CLEAR AND COLD CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF
ALASKA TODAY. THE LOW BOTTOMED OUT AROUND 949 MB THIS MORNING AND
WILL NOW BEGIN THE PROCESS OF FILLING AND WEAKENING. A STRONG FRONTAL
SYSTEM OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW IS PRODUCING A MODERATE TO HEAVY BAND
OF PRECIPITATION FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA TO THE EASTERN BERING AND
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THE COMBINATION OF STRONG WIND AND SNOW OUT AHEAD
OF THE FRONT IS PRODUCING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
BRISTOL BAY...THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...AND THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.
THESE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECT TO SPREAD TO WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
AND THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AS THE FRONT MAKES NORTHWARD PROGRESS THIS
AFTERNOON. MUCH WARMER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT HAS CHANGED PRECIPITATION
TO ALL RAIN FROM THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND
KODIAK ISLAND.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL
EVOLUTION OF CURRENT STORM SYSTEM WITH JUST MINOR DIFFERENCES IN
SMALLER SCALE FEATURES. MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY IN
TRACK OF PACIFIC LOW INTO THE GULF ON MONDAY. THERE IS A TREND
TOWARD A FASTER AND FURTHER EAST TRACK. THE GFS SOLUTION PROVIDES
A NICE MIDDLE GROUND SOLUTION. MEANWHILE...OUT WEST MODELS ARE
STRUGGLING WITH HANDLING OF A COMPLEX SERIES OF LOWS MOVING OUT
OF ASIA AND INTO THE BERING AS WE HEAD INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE
NEW WEEK. PREFER TO MAKE SMALL CHANGES FOR NOW USING AN AVERAGE
POSITION OF THE VARIOUS MODEL SOLUTIONS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL FALL ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. A WEAK TRIPLE
POINT WILL TRACK SOUTH OF THE KENAI PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON TO
PRINCE SOUND TONIGHT. THE TRACK OF THIS TRIPLE POINT IS KEY BECAUSE
THE WARMEST AIR WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE TRIPLE
POINT WHILE THE HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL BE TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF
THE TRIPLE POINT. THEREFORE...EXPECT PRECIP TO STAY MOSTLY SNOW
TONIGHT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AREAS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
HEAVY PRECIP WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS
AFTERNOON AND SPREAD TO EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND TONIGHT AND
THEN DIMINISH BY MORNING AS THE FRONT DISSIPATES.
SIMILARLY...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG PORTAGE VALLEY AND EASTERN
TURNAGAIN ARM AND THROUGH THOMPSON PASS WILL COME TO AN END AS THE
FRONT PASSES THROUGH. FOR THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHCENTRAL SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATION WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT. THERE WILL BE A COUPLE
DISTINCT UPPER LEVEL SHORT-WAVES MOVING THROUGH WHICH WILL PRODUCE
BRIEF PERIODS OF HIGHER INTENSITY SNOW.

AS WE HEAD THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY THE LOW OUT WEST WILL WEAKEN
OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND CONTINUE TO SEND UPPER WAVES THROUGH
SOUTHCENTRAL. NONE OF THESE WAVES LOOKS VERY STRONG...SO EXPECT
ACCUMULATION TO REMAIN ON THE LIGHT SIDE. THINGS WILL DRY OUT
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF THIS SYSTEM EXIT
TO THE EAST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY OVER BRISTOL BAY
WILL MOVE NORTHWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND THEN DISSIPATE
OVERNIGHT AS THE TRIPLE POINT MOVES EASTWARD INTO ACROSS THE GULF
OF ALASKA AND THE FRONT STRETCHES APART. WARM AIR BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL MAKE ITS WAY UP INTO INTERIOR BRISTOL BAY. HOWEVER...THE
SURFACE FLOW WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST HELPING
TO MAINTAIN SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES. FREEZING RAIN WILL LIKELY
BECOME A PROBLEM BEHIND THE FRONT PRIMARILY FROM DILLINGHAM
NORTHWARD TO AROUND KOLIGANEK. THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE EITHER A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OR FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY AFTER THE
BLIZZARD WARNING EXPIRES THIS AFTERNOON. AS THE LOW MOVES UP
INTO THE BRISTOL BAY AREA ON SUNDAY EXPECT MOST AREAS WILL WARM
TO AROUND OR ABOVE FREEZING ENDING THE FREEZING RAIN THREAT.
MEANWHILE...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA THIS AFTERNOON AS THE HEAVIEST BAND OF SNOW MOVES IN AND
THEN DIMINISH OVERNIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE LOW WILL ULTIMATELY TRACK INLAND TO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY
SUNDAY NIGHT WITH COLDER AIR FILTERING BACK IN BEHIND IT AND
CHANGING PRECIP BACK TO SNOW. THE REGION WILL DRY OUT MONDAY
NIGHT...BUT WITH PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW THE NEXT SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO REACH THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA COAST BY LATE TUESDAY.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...WINDS AND SNOW WILL DIMINISH FROM THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS TO CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TONIGHT AS THE STORM SYSTEM
WEAKENS. COLDER AIR WILL THEN MAKE ITS WAY EASTWARD ACROSS THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA SUNDAY AS THE LOW
TRACKS TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA. MEANWHILE A SERIES OF LOWS MOVING OUT
OF ASIA WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BEGINNING SUNDAY NIGHT
AND THEN QUICKLY SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING SEA MONDAY AND
TUESDAY THANKS TO PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL FLOW.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN PROGRESSIVE
THROUGH THE DAY 4 THROUGH 7 PERIOD. THIS MEANS A FAST AND ACTIVE
STORM TRACK ACROSS THE ALASKA REGION. THE MODELS TYPICALLY DON'T
HANDLE INDIVIDUAL STORMS WITHIN THE FAST FLOW VERY WELL...SO IT
LIKELY WILL BECOME DIFFICULT TO NAIL DOWN THE EXPECTED WEATHER
VERY FAR OUT IN TIME.
