Area forecast discussion, Oct 31, 5:10 AM AKDT, 10 hours 33 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 510 AM AKDT FRI OCT 31 2014 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... THE MAIN FEATURE OF INTEREST THIS MORNING IS A STORM FORCE LOW TRACKING EASTWARD THROUGH THE BERING SEA...BRINGING RAIN AND STRONG WINDS TO MUCH OF THE REGION. THE LOW CENTER IS CURRENTLY LOCATED SOUTHWEST OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT ARCING SOUTH AND EASTWARD ACROSS THE PRIBILOFS AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA ACCOMPANIED BY RAIN AND STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS. BEHIND THE FRONT...WESTERLY STORM FORCE WINDS ARE IMPACTING THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE LOW. MEANWHILE...FAIRLY BENIGN CONDITIONS PERSIST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND BENEATH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT...WITH WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF HELPING TO SUPPORT MODEST GAP WINDS THROUGH FAVORED AREAS ALONG THE GULF COAST. A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE IS ALSO BRINGING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS TO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS HAVE FINALLY STARTED TO SHOW SOMEWHAT BETTER AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LOW IN THE BERING AFTER THE SIGNIFICANT POSITIONAL SPREAD OF THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE EC IS STILL ON THE WESTERNMOST EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE BUT HAS SHOWN A LARGE EASTWARD JUMP IN THE 12Z RUN TO COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE NAM/GEM/GFS SOLUTIONS. THERE IS ALSO GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRIPLE POINT LOW EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN THE TIMING OF THE FRONT AS IT APPROACHES THE GULF COAST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. MAINLY USED THE GEM SOLUTION FOR THE FORECAST AS IT HAS DISPLAYED THE MOST CONSISTENCY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA... GAP FLOWS WILL BE TRENDING DOWNWARD THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO THE WEAKENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BEFORE ATTENTION QUICKLY TURNS TO THE IMPACTS OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES INTO THE GULF. PRECIPITATION WILL OVERSPREAD KODIAK ISLAND LATER THIS MORNING WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT AS A TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMS JUST EAST OF THE ISLAND. IT APPEARS TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ALL SNOW AT THE ONSET OF PRECIPITATION BEFORE A QUICK TRANSITION TO RAIN WHICH WILL MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATING OR BLOWING SNOW. THE FRONT WILL THEN REACH THE COAST TONIGHT...BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO AREAS ALONG THE COAST. AREAS FARTHER INLAND WILL REMAIN MOSTLY DRY AS A RESULT OF DOWNSLOPING OFF OF THE CHUGACH RANGE INTO THE DAY ON SATURDAY BEFORE CROSS BARRIER FLOW WEAKENS AND ALLOWS A FEW SHOWERS TO MAKE IT OVER THE MOUNTAINS. ONE AREA THAT LOOKS TO REMAIN ALL SNOW WILL BE PORTAGE VALLEY AS NORTHEASTERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE HELPS TO KEEP COLDER AIR IN PLACE AND ALSO SUPPORTS LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. SOUTHWEST ALASKA... THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE BERING LOW WILL REACH THE COAST LATER THIS MORNING...BRINGING SNOW TO COASTAL PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY INTO THE AFTERNOON BEFORE SPREADING INLAND TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL BE OVER INTERIOR PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY WHERE 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE BY SATURDAY MORNING. ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE MORE LIMITED ALONG THE COAST AS PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO CHANGE OVER TO RAIN TONIGHT WITH WARMER AIR MOVING NORTHWARD. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO WIND DOWN LATER SATURDAY AS THE FRONT SLIDES OFF TO THE EAST AND THE LOW WEAKENS OVER THE EASTERN BERING...WITH NORTHERLY FLOW TAKING HOLD OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS... STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE BERING SEA INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE POWERFUL LOW TRACKS EASTWARD TOWARDS BRISTOL BAY. STORM FORCE WINDS WILL PERSIST INTO TONIGHT OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OF THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BEFORE GRADUALLY DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE LOW BEGINS TO WEAKEN...WITH GALE FORCE WINDS CONTINUING ALONG THE ENTIRE CHAIN AND OVER MOST OF THE BERING THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY. RAIN WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE FRONT TODAY AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION TO A MORE SHOWERY REGIME AS NORTHWEST FLOW COMMENCES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM. COLD ADVECTION WILL ALLOW FOR A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW LATER TODAY FOR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE BY SATURDAY MORNING. PRECIP TYPE LOOKS TO REMAIN MOSTLY RAIN ALONG THE ALEUTIANS...ALTHOUGH SOME SNOW WILL START TO MIX IN DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (MON THROUGH THU)... THE MID-LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THIS PATTERN AS WE REMAIN IN THE FALL TRANSITION SEASON. THE DETAILS ARE QUITE MESSY FROM START TO FINISH...THOUGH THE GENERAL IDEA REMAINS ALMOST A "RINSE AND REPEAT" PATTERN COMPARED WITH THE END OF THIS WEEK. REMNANT LOW PRESSURE NEAR BRISTOL BAY SLIDES INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF AK EARLY IN THE WEEK. THIS LOW LOOKS TO SLOWLY WEAKEN AND BROADEN ACROSS THE GULF THROUGH WED. MEANWHILE OUT WEST...A SHARP RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE QUICKLY ACROSS THE BERING TO START THE WEEK. THIS WILL SPELL DRY CONDITIONS FOR A BRIEF PERIOD...BUT COULD ALSO MAKE FOR SOME TIGHTER GRADIENTS LEADING TO GUSTIER WINDS. ANOTHER LOW TRACKS OFF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA BY MID-WEEK. AS OF NOW...THE GENERAL CONSENSUS IS THAT THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE FILLING AND ELONGATING BY THAT TIME AND THUS...HAVE LIMITED WINDS TO GALE-FORCE. THE RINSE AND REPEAT PORTION OCCURS TOWARDS THE END OF THE LONG- TERM. SPRAWLING LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE BERING BEGINS TO INTERACT WITH WEAK LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF. THE DETAILS REMAIN VERY HAZY...BUT THERE LOOKS TO BE SIGNS OF ANOTHER TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMING VERY NEAR WHERE THE ONE FOR TOMORROW IS PROGGED TO FORM. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
