Area forecast discussion, Apr 17, 12:30 PM AKDT, 3 hours 30 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 1230 PM AKDT TUE APR 17 2012 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A LARGE UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. RAIN AND LOW CLOUDS ARE FOCUSED NEAR THE LOW CENTER FROM KODIAK ISLAND TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WELL DEFINED SHORT-WAVE EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL GULF TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ROTATING NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL. RADAR SHOWS RAINFALL IS CURRENTLY CONFINED TO THE GULF AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS. HOWEVER EXPECT RAIN TO HEAD FARTHER INLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE SHORT-WAVE ARRIVES. ALTHOUGH INLAND AREAS ARE DRY THE LOW AND SHORT-WAVE ARE PRODUCING EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA. THIS HAS RESULTED IN WARMER NIGHT-TIME TEMPERATURES...BUT ALSO COOLER DAY-TIME HIGHS. CLOUDS ARE ALSO THE RULE OUT OVER THE WESTERN BERING WHERE AN UPPER RIDGE HAS BEEN PARKED THE PAST FEW DAYS. A MODERATE STRENGTH LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC IS TRACKING NORTHWARD TOWARD THE GULF BUT WILL LOSE STRENGTH AS IT MOVES AWAY FROM THE UPPER JET. MEANWHILE A STRONG SHORT-WAVE OVER FAR EASTERN RUSSIA IS DROPPING SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTHERN BERING. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS HAVE COME INTO DECENT AGREEMENT WITH LOW OVER NORTHEAST PACIFIC AS IT MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF WEDNESDAY. THERE HAS BEEN A TREND TOWARD A WEAKER SYSTEM WITH A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK...WHICH MEANS LESS PRECIP WILL MAKE IT TO SOUTHCENTRAL. SOLUTIONS DIVERGE A BIT WITH HANDLING OF NEXT LOW MOVING INTO THE EASTERN GULF THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THERE HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT TREND TOWARD A MORE WESTWARD TRACK. THEREFORE...WILL TREND TOWARD THE GFS SOLUTION WHICH WILL BRING STRONGER WINDS INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHERN MAINLAND/GULF...PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE KENAI PENINSULA WILL RECEIVE THE BRUNT OF RAIN AS SHORT-WAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE GULF MOVES OVERHEAD TONIGHT. INLAND AREAS WILL ALSO SEE LOWERING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THE SHORT-WAVE WILL WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA TUESDAY...BUT EXPECT ENOUGH LIFT TO GENERATE SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE REGION. THE LOW THAT HAS BEEN STATIONARY SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA WILL FINALLY HEAD SOUTHWARD AND DISSIPATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BUT THE LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC WILL TRACK WESTWARD AND SETTLE IN THE SAME AREA ON THURSDAY. FLOW ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BACK TOWARD THE NORTH AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WHICH WILL KEEP THE BULK OF PRECIP OVER THE GULF. THE CHANGE IN FLOW WILL LEAD TO SOME SUNSHINE FROM INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA ON THURSDAY. MODEL STABILITY PARAMETERS ARE UNIMPRESSIVE SO DON'T THINK WE'LL BE QUITE WARM ENOUGH TO PRODUCE DIURNAL CONVECTION. THE FORECAST FOR THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND ON FRIDAY BECOMES MUCH LESS CLEAR. MORE CHAOTIC FLOW ALOFT WILL RESULT IN A SERIES OF SHORT-WAVES IN THE AREA WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE CONVECTION. ANOTHER STORM WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GULF FRIDAY BUT LIKELY STALL IN THAT AREA AS WE TRANSITION TOWARD A MORE PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE SHORT-WAVE OVER EASTERN RUSSIA WILL DROP RAPIDLY SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING AND ALEUTIANS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. OMEGA AND POTENTIAL VORTICITY FIELDS INDICATE STRONG DOWNWARD MOTION WITH THIS TROUGH WHICH MEANS STRONGER WINDS WILL MIX DOWN TOWARD THE SURFACE. WEAK COLD AIR ADVECTION AND A TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO STRONGER WINDS. THE PATTERN WILL CHANGE BEHIND THIS SHORT-WAVE AS THE TROUGH SOUTH OF KODIAK RE-CENTERS FURTHER EAST...THE WESTERN BERING RIDGE MOVES TO THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC...A TROUGH DROPS DOWN OUT OF RUSSIA WHILE ANOTHER MOVES INTO THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC. THIS WILL RESULT IN MORE ACTIVE WEATHER OUT WEST WITH THE FIRST STORM EXPECTED TO ARRIVE ALONG THE ALEUTIANS BY LATE THIS WEEK. .LONG TERM FORECAST...THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL BECOME MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE NEXT WEEKEND. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN TRACKING STORM SYSTEM ALONG THE ALEUTIANS OVER THE WEEKEND AND TO MAINLAND ALASKA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...NONE. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB APR 12
