SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
450 PM AKST THU NOV 13 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE CLOSED UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE YUKON
TERRITORY WITH AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO
BEAUFORT SEA...THE OTHER RIDGE EXTENDS THROUGH THE FAIRBANKS
REGION WESTWARD THROUGH KUSKOKWIM DELTA INTO THE EASTERN BERING
SEA JUST NORTH OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. A CUT-OFF LOW REMAINS
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH EXTENDING
THOROUGH ATKA INTO THE LOWER CENTRAL BERING SEA. AT THE SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE IS POSITIONED OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA WITH A
STATIONARY FRONT OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA. SOUTH OF THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS THERE IS A COMPLEX NORTH PACIFIC LOW WITH AN INVERTED
TROUGH EXTENDING TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN END OF KODIAK ISLAND. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAIN STRONG OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND
BRISTOL BAY REGION. THE SURFACE OBSERVATIONS CONTINUE TO REPORT
GUSTY EASTERLY WIND WITH GUSTS TO 35 TO 45 MPH WITH A 90 KNOT
SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST JET STREAK OVER THE AKPEN. THE SATELLITE
IMAGERY HAS A LARGE SWATH OF MOISTURE BEING TRANSPORTED THROUGH
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS...AKPEN...NORTHWARD THROUGH SOUTHWEST
ALASKA. THE GULF OF ALASKA HAS MARINE LAYER STRATUS...WITH
GRADUAL CLEARING OVER THE EASTERN GULF DUE TO THE HIGH PRESSURE
POSITIONED OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA. THE SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING
THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW AT 48N 157W SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
TRACKING NORTHWARD. AT 300 MB THERE IS A 125 KNOT NORTH TO SOUTH
MERIDIONAL JET STEAK DIGGING INTO THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH
LOCATED AT 35N 161W. THIS WILL STRENGTHEN THE CUT-OFF LOW FORMING
SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AS IT TRACKS NORTHWARD.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
GRADUALLY MOVING OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE KENAI TONIGHT. THE GULF
OF ALASKA WILL CONTINUE WITH EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGH
SATURDAY. THE WEAK BERING LOW NEAR ATKA WILL DISSIPATE BY THIS
AFTERNOON. A COMPLEX SET OF LOWS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC WILL
CONSOLIDATE JUST SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THIS MORNING. THE
MODELS HAVE THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW TRACKING WESTWARD PARALLEL TO
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL EXTEND FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS INTO THE EASTERN BERING SEA...THIS WILL RESULT IN GALE
FORCE WINDS WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING AS
RAIN WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S. THE NAM WAS THE PREFERRED
MODEL OF CHOICE FOR MAJORITY OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST WITH THE
GFS BEING THE OUTLIER. THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS ABOVE
AVERAGE AND WILL INCREASE AS MODELS CONTINUE TO GET A BETTER
HANDLE ON THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A DRIER PATTERN SETS UP ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL AS WE HEAD
INTO THE WEEKEND. RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE COPPER RIVER VALLEY
TONIGHT AND PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND THROUGH SUNDAY.
PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST AND AREA LAKES
OVERNIGHT WITH IMPROVEMENT LATE MORNING. THE COPPER RIVER VALLEY
IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN THIS FORECAST...AREAS OF FOG IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WITH LITTLE
IMPROVEMENT THROUGH THE DAY. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN
ALONG THE WESTERN GULF INCLUDING KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND
AS LOW PRESSURE PERSISTS WEST OF KODIAK. EASTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE
GULF WILL BRING GALES AROUND KODIAK THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED OVER MAINLAND ALASKA AND
NORTHWEST CANADA REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY WITH A BROAD UPPER
TROUGH UPSTREAM OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. THE STABILITY OF THIS SET
UP WILL KEEP THE WEATHER PATTERNS FAIRLY SLOW TO CHANGE OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON THE WEATHER OVER SOUTHWEST
ALASKA WILL BE THE OFFSHORE NORTHEASTERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN A SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE YUKON TERRITORY INTO
INTERIOR ALASKA AND AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED SOUTH OF THE
TIP OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. BREEZY EAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH STRONGER GUSTS DOWNSLOPING AND CHANNELING
THROUGH GAPS AND PASSES IN THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN RANGES. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX VERY SLIGHTLY FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT
BUT STRENGTHEN AGAIN SATURDAY.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN TONIGHT AND FRIDAY THOUGH RAIN WILL STILL PERSIST IN
ABUNDANCE IN UPSLOPE SOUTHEAST FACING PORTIONS OF THE PENINSULA
AND THE AHKLUN/KILBUCK MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE WELL
ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS ALTHOUGH INLAND VALLEYS TO THE NORTH AND
EAST WHERE THERE WILL BE MORE CLEARING WILL SEE STRONG NIGHTTIME
INVERSIONS AND COLDER LOWS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
IN THE CENTRAL BERING AND OUT TOWARDS THE ALEUTIANS THE NORTHERLY
GALES TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE LOW CENTER ARE THE MAIN CONCERN
FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE BAND OF NORTHERLY GALES CURRENTLY
CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL SLIDE TO THE WEST AND
SOUTH TONIGHT BEFORE WEAKENING TO SMALL CRAFTS FRIDAY. A FRONTAL
SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC WILL BRING SOUTHEASTERLY
GALES TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TONIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE BLOCKING PATTERN OVER THE STATE WILL CONTINUE WELL INTO NEXT
WEEK. THIS PATTERN CONSISTS OF A DOMINANT HIGH OVER THE EASTERN
PART OF THE STATE AND LOW PRESSURE OUT OVER THE BERING. VARIOUS
LOWS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BERING BRINGING RAIN AND SNOW
THROUGHOUT THE AREA. IN BETWEEN THE THE HIGH AND THE LOW...WARM
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING MORE RAIN TO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.
THE RAIN WILL MIX WITH SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS AND LOCATIONS
FURTHER INLAND WHERE SOME SHOWERS WILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE COASTAL
MOUNTAINS. THERE WILL BE A FEW BREAKS IN THE PRECIPITATION BUT
THEY WILL BE SHORT LIVED.
