Area forecast discussion, Jan 1, 2:00 PM AKST, 2 hours before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 200 PM AKST WED JAN 1 2014 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A STRONG ZONAL PACIFIC JET COMING OUT OF ASIA CONTINUES TO FLING RAPID-FIRE NUMEROUS ATMOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC AND INTO THE ALASKAN DOMAIN. A RAPIDLY DECAYING VERTICALLY STACKED LOW...THE MAJOR WEATHER-MAKER FROM YESTERDAY...IS NEAR SOUTHERN COOK INLET AND IS BRINGING WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY TO MOST OF SOUTHERN ALASKA. THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS AROUND UPPER COOK INLET FROM KENAI TO THE MAT-SU WHERE SOUTHEAST DOWNSLOPING WINDS ARE KEEPING CONDITIONS MOSTLY DRY FOR THE TIME BEING. OUT WEST...ANOTHER POTENT UPPER LEVEL WAVE HAS DEVELOPED INTO A 972 MB LOW OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND IS TRACKING TO THE NORTHEAST BRINGING RAIN AND STORM-FORCE WINDS. .MODEL DISCUSSION... ALL MAJOR MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT ON THE BIG-PICTURE EVOLUTION OF THE MAJOR FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. THE NAM IS A BIT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE OTHER MODELS AS THE CURRENT LOW OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TRACKS TO NEAR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS TOMORROW MORNING...THEREFORE THE GFS/ECMWF IS GIVEN A SLIGHT PREFERENCE AND WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE AFTERNOON FORECAST. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL...THE ATMOSPHERIC LEFTOVERS OF THE BIG STORM FROM YESTERDAY WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. SOMETIME THIS EVENING THE REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL PASS VERY NEAR ANCHORAGE...AT WHICH TIME DOWNSLOPING WILL END AND MOST PLACES ARE LIKELY TO SEE A MINOR ACCUMULATION OF SNOW BEFORE TAPERING OFF TOWARD MORNING. MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE GULF WILL INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY WHICH WILL ALLOW PRECIP AMOUNTS IN VALDEZ AND CORDOVA TO INCREASE WHILE THE EASTERN TURNAGAIN ARM AREA WILL SEE INTENSITY DECREASE TO MORE INTERMITTENT SHOWERS. AT THE SAME TIME...COOLER AIR WILL GRADUALLY FILTER BACK INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST...CHANGING RAIN BACK TO SNOW AT MOST LOCATIONS. ON FRIDAY...A WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE REGION A GLANCING BLOW FROM THE NORTH WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING A RELATIVELY MINOR ACCUMULATION OF SNOW. SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING...LINGERING LONGEST ALONG THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN RANGES AS LIGHT WEST WINDS INTERACT WITH THE TERRAIN. AFTER A VERY BRIEF BREAK DURING THE DAY THURSDAY THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN BERING WILL SPREAD SNOW INTO THE AREA TOMORROW EVENING...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR MORE THAN A MINOR ACCUMULATION OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA (CLOSEST TO THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER). SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN ALONG THE COAST...BUT SHOULD REMAIN SAFELY ALL-SNOW INLAND. THE FORWARD SPEED OF THIS WEAKENING STORM WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN NORMAL PRESSURE RISES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM...THUS WILL BUMP UP WINDS MAINLY FOR THE COASTLINE ON THURSDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE DELTA. BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE STORM NEAR ADAK HAS REACHED PEAK INTENSITY AND WILL BEGIN TO STEADILY DECREASE AND TAKE A MORE NORTHWARD TURN THIS EVENING. GALE FORCE WINDS AND RAIN WILL SPREAD EASTWARD TOWARD DUTCH HARBOR AND THE PRIBILOFS OVERNIGHT AS A FLEETING PERIOD OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. A WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE BACK IN TO THE FAR WESTERN BERING AND ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A NEW LOW FORMING ALONG THE FRONT NEAR SHEMYA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...AS RAIN REMAINS THE DOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE. .LONG TERM FORECAST... GENERAL INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE ZONAL FLOW WILL BECOME A BIT MORE AMPLIFIED BY THIS WEEKEND...WITH A LARGE AND COMPLEX LOW SETTING UP SHOP OVER THE WESTERN BERING AND HIGHER HEIGHTS/RIDGING DEVELOPING IN THE VICINITY OF THE ALCAN BORDER. THIS WEEK KEEP THE MOST UNSETTLED WEATHER OVER THE BERING SEA...WHILE SOUTHERLY FLOW AND MORE TAME WEATHER KEEPS CONDITIONS WARMER AND SLIGHTLY WETTER THAN NORMAL ACROSS MUCH OF THE MAINLAND. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE 132 165 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 FIRE WEATHER...NONE AMD JAN 14
