Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 2:00 PM AKDT, 2 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT THU SEP 5 2013
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS AN ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL LOW ALONG THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA
EXTENDING INTO THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. THERE IS A RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN BERING SEA AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND ANOTHER UPPER LOW OVER
THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. A SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY SPINNING UP AT THE
SOUTHERN END OF THE ALASKA LOW ASSOCIATED WITH FAVORABLE DYNAMICS
FROM THE SUBTROPICAL JET. A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE
ALASKAN LOW OF THE LOW IS SLIDING SOUTH THROUGH DUTCH HARBOR.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY. THERE ARE
SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES ON PRECIPITATION TIMING/AMOUNT AND ON HOW
FAST THE LOW MOVING INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA WEAKENS...BUT THESE ARE
RELATIVELY MINOR FOR A SYSTEM COMING IN FROM THE DATA SPARSE SOUTH.
THUS THE CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECASTS IS ABOVE NORMAL.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
FOR SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE DEVELOPING NORTH
PACIFIC LOW WILL MOVE NORTH AND RAPIDLY INTENSIFY TONIGHT. THE
INITIAL WARM FRONTAL PRECIPITATION WILL REACH KODIAK AROUND THE
MIDDLE TONIGHT AND THE NORTH GULF COAST LATE TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT
WILL RACE NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF FRIDAY
MORNING...CATCHING UP TO THE WARM FRONT AND CREATING A "BENT BACK"
OCCLUSION. THIS OCCLUDED FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL
ALASKA AND THE EASTERN PORTION OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY. THE UPPER LOW AND SURFACE LOW WILL BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED
AROUND NOON...CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND. AFTER THIS THE
SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN AS THE SURFACE LOW BEGINS TO TRAIL BEHIND THE
UPPER LOW. ON FRIDAY NIGHT THE LOW WILL MOVE INLAND AND BEGIN TO
FALL APART.
THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL FORM AS THE SHORT-WAVE NEAR DUTCH HARBOR MOVES
SOUTH INTO THE PACIFIC. IT WILL PHASE WITH A SYSTEM IN THE
SUBTROPICAL JET ON FRIDAY AND MOVE NORTH INTO THE NORTHERN GULF ON
SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE CONSIDERABLY WEAKER THAN THE PREVIOUS
ONE. IT WILL ALSO BE FURTHER EAST...WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING
ASHORE NEAR OR EAST OF CORDOVA SUNDAY MORNING.
FOR THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE KAMCHATKA LOW WILL MOVE EAST
TONIGHT. THE FRONTAL PRECIPITATION AND WINDS WILL REACH THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS ON FRIDAY AND THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FRIDAY NIGHT. THE
WESTERN BERING RIDGE WILL PUSH EAST AND NORTH AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...THEN "PINCH OFF" OVER THE BERING SEA ON SATURDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW SLIDES EASTWARD JUST SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS. ON SUNDAY THE
LOW WILL BE SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WITH AN OCCLUDED FRONT
ROUGHLY ALONG THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA.
