Area forecast discussion, May 22, 3:00 PM AKDT, 13 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 300 PM AKDT WED MAY 22 2013 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO HOLD FIRM OVER THE CENTRAL GULF EXTENDING NORTH INTO SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THIS AFTERNOON. A FEW WEAK DISTURBANCES ARE ROTATING NORTH AND EAST FROM THE ALASKA PENINSULA TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA BRINGING PERIODS OF RAIN TO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND SKIRTING SOUTHCENTRAL WITH SOME LIGHT SHOWERS...OTHERWISE JUST MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. OUT WEST...UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS OVER THE WEST-CENTRAL BERING WITH A NEARLY STACKED SURFACE FRONT WITH EMBEDDED WEAK SURFACE LOWS. A SECOND FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING AND WILL MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE MAINLAND TONIGHT. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY. THERE ARE SOME SPEED DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO A MODERATE STRENGTH LOW FORECASTED BY MODELS TO MOVE NORTH FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN TOWARD THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING SEA LATE THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE GFS AND NAM MODELS ARE SLOWER WHILE THE EUROPEAN AND CANADIAN GLOBAL MODELS ARE FASTER. THE SLOWER GFS SOLUTION WAS PREFERRED FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL... HIGH PRESSURE WILL WIN OUT OVER MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL AND KEEP MOST OF THE ACTIVE SHOWER ACTIVITY CONFINED TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND KODIAK ISLAND...WITH A FEW SHOWERS AFFECTING THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA AND PERHAPS SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS IN THE VICINITY OF ANCHORAGE AND MATANUSKA VALLEY. OTHERWISE...JUST MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDINESS EXPECTED OVER THE REGION THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE A RETURN TO SUNNIER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TOWARD THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THEIR SLOW TREND UPWARDS MOST DAYS...ESPECIALLY SO FOR THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. SOUTHWEST MAINLAND... UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PUSH A FRONT THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT WITH MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS BEHIND IT FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY INLAND. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS... LOW STRATUS...PATCHY LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE...AND LIGHT WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE BERING THROUGH THURSDAY. AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND RAIN WILL RESULT FROM LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENING AS IT APPROACHES THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST LATE THURSDAY AND THEN MOVES INTO THE BERING SEA ON FRIDAY. SOME LOW END GALE-FORCE WINDS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THE FRONT ALONG THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE SYSTEM AFFECTING THE ALASKA PENINSULA...EASTERN ALEUTIANS...AND CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING SEA LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... A MORE TYPICAL CLIMATOLOGICAL PATTERN FOR MAY HAS EMERGED AND WILL RESULT IN NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR SOUTHERN ALASKA THIS WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH THE INCREASED SUNSHINE AND INSTABILITY WILL COME AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR DIURNAL SHOWERS TO FORM OVER THE MOUNTAIN RANGES ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE INTERIOR BY THE WEEKEND. THE UNSETTLED AREAS WILL BE THE CLIMATOLOGICALLY FAVORED AREAS THIS TIME OF YEAR...THE BERING SEA EXTENDING EAST INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...FLOOD WARNING...152 MARINE...NONE. FIRE WEATHER...FIRE WEATHER WATCH 141 FOR LOW RH. CC MAY 13
