Area forecast discussion, Mar 2, 4:00 PM AKST, 12 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 400 PM AKST SUN MAR 2 2014 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE AND EASTERN BERING SEA. SOUTH OF THIS FEATURE NEAR 42N IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTER. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING OUT OF THE ARCTIC OCEAN AND INTO NORTHERN ALASKA WILL BECOME STRONGER AS IT DIGS SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA TUESDAY. THE JET STREAM IS WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION AND IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OUT OF THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEK. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED JUST EAST OF THE YUKON WITH ANOTHER CENTER IN EASTERN RUSSIA. THE RIDGE AXIS BETWEEN THESE CENTERS PERSISTS ACROSS MOST OF THE STATE TODAY. .MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN TIGHT AGREEMENT OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. SOME SUBTLETIES IN THE SET UP TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY OVER COOK INLET WILL DETERMINE HOW MUCH SNOW FALLS IN THAT AREA. THE HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM IS SHOWING A LITTLE DELAY IN THE ONSET OF SNOW DUE TO SOME DOWN SLOPE OFF THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS. IN THE END BOTH NAM AND GFS ARE SHOWING JUST A COUPLE INCHES OF ACCUMULATION FOR TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST STALLS OVER OR JUST WEST OF SOUTH CENTRAL IT COULD LEAD TO HIGHER ACCUMULATIONS. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL...AREAS LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE THE MAIN ISSUES FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THROUGH TOMORROW. THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN FAVORS CLEAR SKIES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL BUT SOME LOCAL EFFECTS ARE KEEPING IT IN THE WESTERN COPPER RIVER BASIN AND IN AREAS AROUND COOK INLET. KODIAK IS THE EXCEPTION TO THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL WHERE EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL KEEP MARINE STRATUS IN THE AREA. SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES SHOULD PERSIST OVER THE REGION FOR A FEW MORE DAYS WITH NORTHEAST FLOW OFF THE INTERIOR. ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA...THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SOUTH OF ADAK WILL KEEP MOISTURE PUSHED ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT WHEN THE FRONT DISSIPATES. CLEARING SKIES HAVE BEGUN TO TAKE HOLD IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA WITH DRY AIR FROM SOUTHWEST ALASKA MOVING INTO THE REGION. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT STRATUS REDEVELOPS OVER THE AREA TOMORROW BUT THERE WILL BE SOME CLEARING BEFORE THEN. .LONG TERM FORECAST... A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING SOUTHEAST/EAST GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE WESTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS WITH RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING OVER TO SNOW INTO THURSDAY. ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY FRIDAY KEEPING SNOW SHOWERS INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKEND. SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE OFFSHORE FLOW GOING INTO NEXT WEEKEND. SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA WILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THE WEEKEND. A WEATHER FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE UP FROM THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC TO THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA BY FRIDAY...BUT THERE IS UNCERTAINTY WITH THE PLACEMENT/STRENGTH OF THIS LOW WITH THE MODELS. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY 180 185. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. MAR 14
