SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1215 PM AKDT THU MAY 24 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SOME VERY
DYNAMIC FEATURES OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AND ALASKA THIS MORNING...
WHICH IS A LITTLE UNCOMMON FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. A HIGH AMPLITUDE
TROUGH WITH EMBEDDED CLOSED LOW IS CENTERED SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS WITH A CORRESPONDING HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGING BUILDING OUT
AHEAD OF IT. A 100KT+ SOUTHERLY JET IS RIDING UP THE EAST SIDE OF
THE TROUGH HELPING TO DEEPEN A SURFACE LOW POSITIONED JUST NORTHEAST
OF THE UPPER CENTER. A NICE PLUME OF TROPICAL MOISTURE IS ALSO
NOTED STREAMING NORTHWARD TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND SOUTHWEST
GULF. A GALE FORCE FRONT IS APPROACHING THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND RAIN IS OVERSPREADING THE REGION.

JUST DOWNSTREAM OF THIS SYSTEM IS A STRONG TROUGH AXIS WHICH
EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL BERING EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS BRISTOL BAY
AND KODIAK ISLAND INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. SOME FAIRLY INTENSE
SHOWERS DEVELOPED IN THE BRISTOL BAY AREA THIS MORNING AS THE
TROUGH ARRIVED. INTERESTINGLY THESE SHOWERS COINCIDED WITH STRATUS
AND FOG AT THE SURFACE INDICATING THAT THE INSTABILITY WAS ELEVATED.
THE 12Z KING SALMON SOUNDING REFLECTS THIS WELL.

MEANWHILE...UPPER LEVEL WAVES MOVING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF AN
UPPER HIGH CENTERED OVER THE YUKON MOVED INTO SOUTHCENTRAL THIS
MORNING. RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS RAIN HAS OVERSPREAD PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT VALLEY WITH A FEW SHOWERS AS YOU HEAD
FURTHER INLAND. THE APPROACHING TROUGH IS CLOSE ENOUGH THAT IT IS
LIKELY BEGINNING TO CONTRIBUTE LIFT OVER COASTAL SOUTHCENTRAL.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS HAVE COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT
WITH MOVEMENT OF UPPER TROUGH AXIS. VERIFICATION BASED ON 18Z
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE GFS IS JUST A TAD TOO FAST. MODELS
ALSO SHOW VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HANDLING OF PACIFIC SYSTEM. AS
IS USUALLY THE CASE THERE ARE SOME PROBLEMS RESOLVING THE MULTIPLE
SURFACE LOWS WHICH WILL FORM AS THE UPPER LOW WOBBLES AROUND THE
GULF THIS WEEKEND...BUT ALL SOLUTIONS AGREE ON THE GENERAL SYNOPTIC
SOLUTION.

MODELS DIVERGE WITH TRACK OF LOW MOVING TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
SATURDAY NIGHT. PREFER THE ECMWF WHICH SHOWS GOOD RUN-TO-RUN
CONSISTENCY...HAS SUPPORT FROM THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN...AND IS
CLOSE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE 12Z ANCHORAGE SOUNDING SHOWS BOTH STABLE
AND UNSTABLE LAYERS. THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR ELEVATED
CONVECTION...BUT THE EXTENT OF CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION WILL
PREVENT DESTABILIZATION OF THE SURFACE-BASED LAYER. BASED ON THIS
WILL SIDE MORE TOWARD A STRATIFORM RAIN FORECAST THAN A SHOWERY
FORECAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT. MUCH
MORE STABLE AIR WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY AS FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING OUT
AHEAD OF PACIFIC LOW TRACKS ACROSS THE GULF. THE BULK OF RAIN WILL
HANG UP ALONG THE COAST WITH JUST A CHANCE OF RAIN OR SHOWERS INLAND.

AT THE SURFACE A RIDGE WILL BUILD OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT TODAY AND
PERSIST ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST INTO FRIDAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE
GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN GAPS INCLUDING TURNAGAIN
ARM AND ANCHORAGE/THE MAT VALLEY/AND ALONG THE COPPER RIVER.

THE PACIFIC LOW WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF
ON SATURDAY. A DISSIPATING FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL
MAINTAIN WET CONDITIONS ALONG COASTAL AREAS...BUT INTERIOR
SOUTHCENTRAL WILL SEE A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS AND POSSIBLE A
PASSING SHOWER. THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY BECOMES MUCH
MORE UNCERTAIN AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES TO THE EASTERN GULF PUSHING
WAVES WESTWARD INTO SOUTHCENTRAL. AT A MINIMUM EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES WITH SHOWERS. DEPENDING ON THE STRENGTH OF THESE WAVES THERE
IS ALSO POTENTIAL FOR A GLOOMY STRATIFORM RAIN TO SET IN.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SHEAR APART ACROSS
SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT AS THE DOWNSTREAM PORTION PROGRESSES INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AND THE UPSTREAM BERING PORTION REMAINS NEARLY
STATIONARY. THUS...EXPECT MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY OUT AHEAD OF
IT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH CLEAR SKIES OVER THE SOUTHERN
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY THIS MORNING AND SOME SUN BREAKS OVER INTERIOR
BRISTOL BAY INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH SHOULD
INITIATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY.

THE PACIFIC LOW AND FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA BUT WILL STILL SEE SOME MOISTURE SPREAD INTO BRISTOL BAY
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. MODELS ARE INDICATING AN UPPER WAVE OUT AHEAD
OF THE PACIFIC SYSTEM TRACKING NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA
ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL TRIGGER SOME SHOWERS OVER INLAND AREAS OF THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA...WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE DRY SIDE OF LATE. AS THE
LOW TRACKS AWAY FROM SOUTHWEST ALASKA OVER THE WEEKEND A RIDGE WILL
BUILD IN FROM THE BERING SEA. THIS WILL DRY THINGS OUT AND STABILIZE
THE ATMOSPHERE. SO IT IS LOOKING LIKE A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND ACROSS
THE REGION. OF COURSE...AS IS TYPICAL WITH A RIDGE DURING THE
SUMMER...STRATUS AND FOG WILL LIKELY FORM.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE PACIFIC SYSTEM WILL EXIT TO THE EAST
FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN BEHIND IT. HOWEVER...UPPER
FLOW ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC WILL BECOME ZONAL IN THE WAKE OF
THIS SYSTEM. THIS WILL ALLOW A STORM OVER THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC
TO TRACK TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. ENERGY
DROPPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN BERING WILL THEN AMPLIFY
THE TROUGH ONCE AGAIN AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL
GRADUALLY PUSH THE ALEUTIAN LOW SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GULF WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THE ONE OVER THE ALEUTIANS THIS
WEEKEND WILL THEN SET UP SHOP SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA BY
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEAK. THERE IS ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE IN THE
SYNOPTIC FORECAST. THE CHALLENGE IS ATTEMPTING TO FORECAST THE
SMALLER SCALE WAVES MOVING AROUND THESE UPPER LOWS...WHICH IS
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE THIS FAR OUT IN TIME. BASED ON WEATHER USUALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE POSITION OF THESE LOWS EXPECT A CLOUDY AND
SHOWERY PATTERN TO PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THROUGH
NEXT WEEK. SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL START OUT DRY EARLY NEXT WEEK
BUT BECOME MORE SHOWERY AS THE NEW UPPER LOW MOVES IN. AFTER THE
LOW ALONG THE ALEUTIANS DROPS SOUTHWARD EARLY NEXT WEEK BENIGN
WEATHER WILL SETTLE BACK IN.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
