SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
558 AM AKDT THU OCT 2 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE SHARP UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT WAS STRETCHED OVER THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND AND EASTERN BERING PREVIOUSLY IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF
BEING PINCHED OFF BY AN ARCTIC TROUGH SLOWLY ESTABLISHING ITSELF
OVER MAINLAND ALASKA AND A CUT-OFF LOW CENTERED SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS WILL FORM A CLOSED UPPER HIGH OVER THE
BERING AND WORK TO CHANGE THE FLOW TO A MORE MERIDIONAL (NORTH TO
SOUTH) FLOW OVER THE MAINLAND. AT THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE
OVER MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL HAS BEGUN TO ERODE AS LOWER PRESSURES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPEN CONTINUE TO PUSH
NORTHEASTWARD. HIGHER CLOUD COVER AND GUSTY WINDS HAVE BEEN
BEGUN TO CREEP INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN ALASKA AS THESE CHANGES
ARE GETTING UNDERWAY.

FURTHER WEST...RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE AS THE FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WEAKENING LOW EAST OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA
MOVES THROUGH THE FAR WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL FEATURES
THROUGH MUCH OF THE SHORT-TERM (84 HOURS) FORECAST PACKAGE.
MODELS CONTINUE TO CONVERGE ON A COMMON SOLUTION FOR THE TRACK OF
THE STRENGTHENING LOW THAT WILL TRACK THROUGH THE GULF OVER THE
NEXT 48 HOURS. MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN TRACKING THE LOW
THROUGH THE GULF EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AND ENDING UP OVER THE NORTH
GULF COAST LATE FRIDAY EVENING. THE MODELS THEN SHOW THE UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY TRACKING NORTHEAST INTO THE YUKON AND SPLITTING THE
SURFACE LOW INTO TWO SEPARATE LOWS. ONE FOLLOWING THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW INTO THE YUKON AND THE OTHER TURNING WESTWARD TOWARD PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND. THERE REMAIN SOME KEY DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS IN
TERMS OF TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE WHICH WILL BE IMPORTANT IN
DETERMINING PRECIPITATION TYPE IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AS WELL
AS HOW FAR WEST THE PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE. AS OF THE 00Z MODEL
RUNS...THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE THE PREFERRED SOLUTIONS...WITH THE
NAM BEING A SLIGHT OUTLIER REGARDING PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF
PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. THE ECMWF AND GFS KEEP THE
PRECIP MAINLY OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND NORTHERN GULF COAST
DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...THEN BEGIN TO SPILL OVER INTO THE WESTERN
PORTION OF SOUTHCENTRAL OVERNIGHT. THE NAM BRINGS THIS
PRECIPITATION WESTWARD INTO ANCHORAGE MUCH FASTER...WITH THE 6Z
NAM COMING IN EVEN FASTER WITH PRECIP REACHING ANCHORAGE AND THE
MAT-SU BY FRIDAY MORNING. THE NEXT CHALLENGE FOR THE MODELS IN
THE GULF OF ALASKA REGION WILL BE THIS WEEKEND AS ANOTHER LOW
DEVELOPS TO THE SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND TAKES A SIMILAR
TRACK TO THE ONE MOVING INTO THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
MODELS ALL HAVE THIS HAPPENING BUT THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THIS
LOW VARY GREATLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
INCREASING CLOUDS AND WIND ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA FROM THE SOUTH AS A STRENGTHENING LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK
RAPIDLY DEEPENS AND BEGINS TO PUSH INTO THE GULF THIS AFTERNOON.
RAIN AND INCREASED GAP WINDS ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST LATER TONIGHT...AND PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. A
MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW IS EXPECTED TO START UP TONIGHT OVER THE
EASTERN COPPER RIVER BASIN AND SPREAD WESTWARD INTO TOMORROW
MORNING. THE RAIN AND SNOW MIX WILL LIKELY NUDGE INTO PORTIONS OF ANCHORAGE
AND THE MAT-SU VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT...AS COLDER AIR ASSOCIATED WITH
THE COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH DESCENDS FURTHER INTO SOUTHCENTRAL.
HOWEVER...AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THERE IS STILL SIGNIFICANT MODEL
DISAGREEMENT ON HOW FAR WEST THE DEFORMATION ZONE WILL MOVE AND
THE TIMING OF THE COLDER AIR FILTERING DOWN FROM THE NORTH.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
SOUTHWEST ALASKA IS UNDER THE STRONG RIDGE AND WILL REMAIN MOSTLY
CLEAR FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EASTERN
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WHO WILL SEE SOME SNOWFALL SPILL ACROSS THE
ALASKA RANGE ON FRIDAY. GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SOUTH
OF THE AKPEN AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE BERING SEA ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP TODAY ALONG THE AKPEN AND COASTAL BRISTOL BAY ZONE. THERE
MAY BE A FEW CLOUDS ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE FRIDAY DUE TO AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH DESCENDING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AT THAT TIME.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA WILL PERSIST INTO THE
WEEKEND. WINDS WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT GUSTY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AS TIGHTENED GRADIENTS CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THE
GUSTY EASTERLY FLOW. THE FAR WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL CONTINUE TO
SEE RAIN INTO TOMORROW MORNING...AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW NEAR KAMCHATKA CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE AREA AND
WEAKEN.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (SUN OCT 5 - WED OCT 8)...

THE EXTENDED FORECAST BECOMES INCREASINGLY COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING
AS A COLD UPPER LOW FORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA...AND A SERIES OF
NORTH PACIFIC LOWS MOVES INTO THE GULF. THE FIRST OF THESE WILL BE
TRACKING THROUGH THE COPPER BASIN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE
WEEKEND...WITH ANOTHER LOW MOVING IN SOMETIME SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THE TRACK REMAINS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN...WITH
THE ECMWF TAKING A MORE EASTERLY TRACK...AND THE GFS AND CANADIAN
GDPS FAVORING A WESTWARD TRACK INTO THE COPPER BASIN. THE IMPACT
WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW SPREADING TO THE
WESTERN COPPER BASIN IN THE LATTER SOLUTIONS...WITH LITTLE TO NONE
IN THE FORMER SOLUTION. ONE CERTAINTY IS THE COLDEST AIR OF THE
SEASON WILL BE ADVECTING INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD WEST TO EAST...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS PLUMMETING AS SKIES CLEAR
IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER LOW. UNCERTAINTY GROWS BY MIDWEEK AS A
SERIES OF STRONG LOWS ASSOCIATED WITH A POWERFUL NORTH PACIFIC JET
STREAM SLOWLY ERODE THE BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE BERING AND TRACK
EAST.

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 119 120 131 132 136 138 150 155.
