Area forecast discussion, May 23, 1:30 PM AKDT, 2 hours 30 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 130 PM AKDT THU MAY 23 2013 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A LONGWAVE TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE BERING SEA CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE REGION. MOST OF THE STATE IS EXPERIENCING WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...WITH EMBEDDED WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE PATTERN. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN COAST OF NORTH AMERICA IS GAINING STRENGTH AND SHOWING SIGNS OF BUILDING NORTHWESTWARD INTO ALASKA. FAIRLY WEAK SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS OVER THE GULF REGION ARE ALLOWING WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO LINGER OVER COASTAL AREAS INCLUDING COOK INLET...THOUGH A GRADUALLY TRENT TOWARD OFFSHORE FLOW IS BEGINNING TO CLEAR OUT MOST INLAND AREAS. A SHORTWAVE OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA IS SLIDING TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND IS BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS TO THE BRISTOL BAY ZONE THIS MORNING. FURTHER WEST...A PACIFIC LOW AROUND 993 MB IS TRACKING NORTHWARD TOWARD THE BERING SEA. WINDS FROM THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TO AKPEN HAVE BEGUN TO EXPERIENCE LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS...THE FIRST HARBINGER OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. .MODEL DISCUSSION...AVAILABLE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS ALL SHOW A SIMILAR OVERALL TREND. THIS IS CHARACTERIZED BY A LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINING OVER THE BERING SEA AND EXTENDING DOWN INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF...WITH A WARM RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM CANADA INTO MAINLAND ALASKA. THIS WILL BRING IN THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR SO FAR TO MOST MAINLAND LOCATIONS...AND A TRANSITION TO DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAINLY OVER THE MOUNTAIN RANGES IN THE DOMAIN. THE MODELS ALL HAVE SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN THE EVOLUTION OF INDIVIDUAL WEAK STORM SYSTEMS OVER THE NEXT WEEK...BUT THE ECMWF WAS CHOSEN AS THE MODEL OF THE DAY TODAY BASED ON BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY THAN THE OTHER MODELS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA...LIGHT FLOW WITH PERSISTENT LOW CLOUDINESS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE OFFSHORE BY TOMORROW. THIS WILL ALLOW A STEADY DECREASE IN CLOUD-COVER AND INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SEA BREEZES WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON AROUND COOK INLET AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND...AND LIKELY CONTINUE EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS WILL BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN OF DIURNAL CONVECTION BEGINNING FRIDAY...THOUGH MOST SHOWERS WILL STRUGGLE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE MOUNTAINS GIVEN THE MARGINAL OVERALL INSTABILITY. BY SUNDAY..A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE EAST AND BRING INCREASED CLOUDS TO THE COPPER BASIN AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FEATURE OVER THE COMING DAYS WILL DEFINITELY BE THE MOVEMENT OF THE PACIFIC LOW AND ASSOCIATED FRONT INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING BY SUNDAY MORNING. THE STRONGEST PARTS OF THE STORM WILL MOVE OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. HOWEVER...THIS STORM LOOKS WEAKER THAN THE STORM EARLIER THIS WEEK...WITH MINIMUM GALE-FORCE WINDS AND RAINFALL THE LARGEST IMPACT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...THE LOW WILL BECOME STATIONARY IN THE SOUTHERN BERING AND WEAKEN IN PLACE THROUGH THE START OF NEXT WEEK. .LONG TERM FORECAST... THE EMERGING SUMMERY WEATHER PATTERN APPEARS THAT IT WILL HOLD THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. EXPECT MAINLAND LOCATIONS TO SEE AT OR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OUT WEST..TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR-NORMAL...THOUGH WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDINESS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE REGION. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE 155 170 172 FIRE WEATHER...NONE DIXON MAY 13
