SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1215 PM AKST SAT NOV 17 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL HIGH IS CENTERED
OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA. A CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IS
DEEPENING AS IT DIGS SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD SOUTHWEST ALASKA
AND THE WESTERN GULF. MEANWHILE A TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THIS LOW
INTO THE CENTRAL GULF IS LIFTING NORTHWARD AND COMBINING WITH A
SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTHERN GULF TO PRODUCE SNOW FROM THE COPPER
RIVER BASIN TO PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. AS THE LOW PROGRESSES
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST RETURN FLOW AROUND THE LOW IS ADVECTING MOISTURE
WESTWARD TOWARD ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT VALLEY.

OUT WEST A FRONT EXTENDING FROM A LOW NEAR THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA
TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA IS RAPIDLY SHEARING APART THIS MORNING AS

THE SUBTROPICAL JET DRIVES THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FRONT
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE ONCE AGAIN IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH SYNOPTIC SCALE FEATURES. THE BIGGEST CHANGE TO THE FORECAST
WILL BE TO INCREASE POPS OVER SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
THE NAM HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON WHERE SNOW IS CURRENTLY FALLING AND
WILL BE USED AS GUIDANCE. THERE ARE SOME MINOR TIMING DISCREPANCIES
WITH NEXT FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS ON MONDAY.
PREFER THE SLOWER GFS/NAM SOLUTION WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT
FORECAST. ECMWF...WHICH WAS NOTABLY FASTER HAS TRENDED SLOWER ON
THE 12Z RUN LENDING MORE CONFIDENCE TO THIS DECISION.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE TO
PROGRESS WESTWARD TOWARD ANCHORAGE THE MAT VALLEY AND THE WESTERN
KENAI PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IN RETURN FLOW AROUND
UPPER LOW MOVING TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA. WITH FLOW CONTINUALLY SHIFTING
AS LOW MOVES AWAY FROM SOUTHCENTRAL EXPECT SNOW TO BE LIGHT AND
SHORT LIVED ON THE INLAND SIDE OF THE COASTAL RANGE. THUS...EXPECT
LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION. THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WILL BE
IN THE AREA OF BEST VERTICAL MOTION AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH
SWINGING NORTHWARD AND IN THE VICINITY OF THE SURFACE LOW...SO
EXPECT SOME MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATION. PRECIP WILL SHIFT SOUTHWARD
INTO THE GULF AND KODIAK ISLAND DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AS THE UPPER
LOW CONTINUES SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC. ARCTIC AIR WILL
BEGIN TO FILTER SOUTHWARD INTO THE GULF ONCE AGAIN HELPING TO
MAINTAIN GAP WINDS ACROSS THE SOUTHCENTRAL. THERE WILL BE LITTLE
CHANGE AS WE HEAD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THUS...CLEAR AND COLD
CONDITIONS ALONG WITH GAP WINDS WILL PERSIST.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...UPPER LOW CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WILL
TRACK ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY BEFORE DROPPING INTO THE PACIFIC SUNDAY NIGHT. THE
COMBINATION OF LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION AND STRONG DOWNWARD
MOTION MIXING DOWN STRONGER WINDS FROM ALOFT AS THE UPPER LOW
MOVES THROUGH WILL RESULT IN STRENGTHENING WINDS ACROSS THE REGION
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE EASTERN BERING AND SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA
WILL EXPERIENCE THE STRONGEST WINDS AS HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS SUNDAY
AND THE LOW IN THE GULF DROPS SOUTHWARD HELPING TO REALLY TIGHTEN
UP THE PRESSURE GRADIENT. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CROSSING THE ALASKA
PENINSULA ON SUNDAY MAY ENHANCE WINDS JUST ENOUGH TO REACH WARNING
LEVELS THROUGH SOME GAPS IN THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA.
THUS...WILL LIKELY ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING WITH THE AFTERNOON
FORECAST. DROPPING TEMPERATURES AND STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO RESULT
IN FALLING WIND CHILLS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA. IT LOOKS LIKE WIND
CHILLS WILL BOTTOM OUT AROUND -35 DEGREES ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS....JUST SHY OF ADVISORY CRITERIA.
WINDS WILL HOLD STRONG THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...LIKELY NOT DIMINISHING
UNTIL MONDAY AS LOW COMPLEX OVER THE GULF SINKS SOUTHEASTWARD
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST U.S. COAST ALLOWING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
TO RELAX.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
WILL CONTINUE TO FALL APART TONIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
NORTHWARD FROM THE PACIFIC OUT AHEAD OF A TROUGH MOVING OUT OF
ASIA. THIS TROUGH WILL CAUSE THE RIDGE TO QUICKLY AMPLIFY WHICH
IN TURN WILL FORCE THE TROUGH TO LIFT NORTHWARD TOWARD SIBERIA.
THIS WILL KEEP THE SURFACE LOW TRACK WEST OF THE ALEUTIANS...BUT
STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEMS WILL AFFECT THE ALEUTIANS AND WESTERN BERING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A VERY STABLE PATTERN
IN THE DAY 4 THROUGH 7 PERIOD WITH AN ANCHOR RIDGE OVER THE BERING
SEA. THIS WILL MAINTAIN COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS FROM THE CENTRAL
BERING SEA TO SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA. LOW PRESSURE AND
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH OVER THE GULF AND NORTHEAST
PACIFIC. AN ACTIVE STORM TRACK WILL CONTINUE WEST OF THE RIDGE
ACROSS THE WESTERN BERING SEA AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...HIGH WIND WARNING 181.
MARINE...STORM WARNING 155.
