Area forecast discussion, May 30, 2:14 PM AKDT, 13 hours 29 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 214 PM AKDT FRI MAY 30 2014 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA IS MOVING EAST AS ANOTHER UPPER CENTER IS BRANCHING OFF FROM THIS ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS LOW IS BRING COLD AIR ALOFT WITH IT INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION LOWERING THE FREEZING LEVELS. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOWS ARE THREE WEAKER LOWS ONE JUST NORTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA A SECOND CENTER IS WEST OF NUNIVAK ISLAND AND THE THIRD IS IN THE NORTON SOUND AREA. THE UPPER LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND IS SUPPORTING THE STRONG SURFACE LOW THAT IS MOVING NORTH NORTHEAST TOWARD THE NORTH GULF COAST. IN ADVANCE OF THIS INCOMING LOW A RIDGE HAS BUILT IN ALONG THE COAST RESULTING IN THE ISALLOBARIC PUSH CAUSING THE STRONG WIND ACROSS THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS AND THROUGH PORTAGE PASS ALONG TURNAGAIN ARM. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE OUTLIER TODAY THOUGH IT IS COMING MORE INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE GFS AND ECMWF IN THE SHORT TERM. DIFFERENCES BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE NAM PUSHES THE UPPER LOW MORE NORTH AND EAST THAN THE GFS ECMWF AND UKMET. OVERALL THE GEM REGIONAL AND ECMWF ARE THE PREFERRED MODELS. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...WE ARE STILL ON TRACK WITH THE STRONG GAP WINDS TODAY THAT ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE TONIGHT AS THE FRONT PASSES THROUGH. THE STRONG CROSS BARRIER FLOW RESULTED IN THE TYPICAL DOWN SLOPE RAIN SHADOW ON THE LEE OF THE KENAI MOUNTAINS. THE DOWN SLOPING SHOULD DIMINISH SIGNIFICANTLY TOWARD THE MORNING ALLOWING FOR HEAVIER RAIN SATURDAY MORNING. FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THE PRECIPITATION WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY ON SATURDAY. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL BE ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS...WHILE MORE INLAND AREAS LIKE THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND UPPER SUSITNA VALLEY WILL BE QUITE A BIT DRIER. THE MODELS ARE STILL BRINGING IN THE COLDER AIR AND WE ARE STILL EXPECTING A FEW DAYS OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL NEXT WEEK. WITH THIS COLDER AIR THE FREEZING LEVELS WILL DROP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND WE WILL VERY LIKELY SEE SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS ABOVE 2000 TO 2500 FEET THIS WEEKEND. SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS... WE ARE STILL EXPECTING THE RAIN TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT SOUTHWEST ALASKA THROUGH SATURDAY THOUGH IT WILL BECOME MORE SHOWERY IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW AND CONSIDERING THE COLD AIR ALOFT WILL SUPPORT A MORE CONVECTIVE ENVIRONMENT. THE COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING HOURS ALONG THE BERING SEA COAST AND ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA. BY SUNDAY MORNING THE UPPER TROUGH SHOULD SWING THROUGH AND WE EXPECT A BIT OF AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE OVERALL WEATHER FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS THE CLOUDS WILL BE MORE BROKEN ALLOWING MORE SUN TO SHINE THROUGH ALONG WITH THE SHOWERS BECOMING MORE SCATTERED. IN THE ALEUTIANS TO LOW SOUTH OF SHEMYA WILL CONTINUE TO ELONGATE TO THE EAST AND WEAKEN. FOLLOWING THIS LOW A HIGH WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SAT AFTERNOON THEN SLIDE OFF TO THE EAST WITH A GENERALLY FLAT RIDGE PERSISTING ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA. A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL SLIDE ACROSS THE TOP OF THIS RIDGE BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OR RAIN TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. && .LONG TERM FORECAST... TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NORMAL OR EVEN BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA EXTENDING TO THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION AND THE UPPER LOWS REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. && AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALES 119 125. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SAM MAY 14
