Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 5:25 AM AKST, 9 hours 31 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 525 AM AKST FRI MAR 6 2015 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A LARGE PROGRESSIVE ZONAL FLOW RESIDES OVER OUR CORNER OF THE HEMISPHERE THIS MORNING...EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN BERING TO THE CANADIAN ROCKIES. A RAPIDLY MOVING UPPER TROUGH HAS REACHED THE ALCAN. A LARGE UPPER LOW IS OVER SIBERIA AND...IN CONJUNCTION WITH A RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC TO THE AKPEN...IS RESULTING IN A 160 KT JET OVER THE WESTERN BERING. AT THE SURFACE...REMNANTS OF A WEAK FRONT ARE MOVING ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN INTO CANADA. WEAK RIDGING IS OVER SW AK WITH SOME AREAS OF FOG. THE NEXT FRONT...ASSOCIATED WITH THE 160 KT JET...IS RAPIDLY MOVING ONSHORE OVER WESTERN AK AND THE AKPEN WITH SOME SNOW OVER THE MAINLAND...AS WELL AS DRAGGING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ALEUTIANS WITH RAIN. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... POSITIONALLY THE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT INTO SUN. THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS WESTERN AK TODAY AND INTO SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT BEFORE EXITING THE STATE LATER ON SAT. COLDER AIR WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT INTO WESTERN AK TONIGHT AND INTO SOUTHCENTRAL ON SAT. THE MODEL DIFFERENCES ARE SUBTLE AND RELATE TO TEMPERATURE PROFILES IN THE ATMOSPHERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT NOW ENTERING AK. SOME ARE RUNNING COLD AND AND ARE INDICATING A SIGNIFICANT SNOW EVENT FOR THE MAINLAND ZONES...WHILE OTHERS ARE A BIT WARMER WITH SNOW BEING MORE LIMITED IN COVERAGE. MORNING TEMPERATURE PROFILES ARE LEANING TOWARD THE SLIGHTLY WARMER SOLUTION AND THE FORECASTS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED TO THE WARMER GFS SOLUTION. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEHIND THE DEPARTING SYSTEM WILL PROMOTE SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS MORNING BEFORE SOME PARTIAL CLEARING IN THE AFTERNOON. LATE THIS EVENING ATTENTION TURNS TO AN APPROACHING JET AND DISTURBANCE FROM THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. THE FRONT WILL SPREAD PRECIPITATION FROM THE COOK INLET REGION NORTHWARD TO THE ALASKA RANGE WITH HIGH CONFIDENCE...HOWEVER WITH THIS SYSTEM LIKE THE PREVIOUS...PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE A BIG QUESTION. THE BEST CHANCES TO FOR PREDOMINANT SNOW WILL BE IN THE SUSITNA VALLEY. SOUTHEASTERLY WIND COMING THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM AND KNIK ARM WILL BRING NEAR SURFACE TEMPERATURE INTO THE MID 30S INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN AS THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE...THOUGH PRECIPITATION INTENSITY COULD DRAG DOWN COLDER AIR AND MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOW AT TIMES. ALONG THE HILLSIDE PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN ALL SNOW WHERE THE BEST CHANCES EXIST FOR DECENT ACCUMULATIONS. COLD ADVECTION WILL KICK IN SATURDAY MORNING AND CHANGE THE TYPE BACK TO SNOW FOR MOST LOCATIONS BEFORE TAPERING OFF IN THE MORNING. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AROUND COOK INLET AND THE SUSITNA VALLEY ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE UPPER TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH BEGINNING A COLDER PATTERN. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... AREAS OF FOG WILL BE A CONCERN AGAIN TONIGHT UNDER THE FLAT RIDGE SLIDING QUICKLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA AHEAD OF THE INCOMING FRONTAL SYSTEM. WITH RATHER STRONG WESTERLY 500 MB AND SSW 850 MB JET SUPPORT ALL LOOKS GOOD FOR SOME RATHER SIGNIFICANT QPF AMOUNTS AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM PUSHES INLAND FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. BLOWING SNOW WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AS STRONG SOUTH THEN SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD MAKE IT A WAYS INLAND...HOWEVER SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE A BIT MORE MODEST WITH THE FAST MOVING NATURE OF THE SYSTEM. FOR THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY AREAS...SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE HIGHER ESPECIALLY IN AREAS UPSLOPE AREAS FAVORED BY THE SSW LOWER LEVEL WINDS. BLOWING SNOW WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN IN THE NORTHERN INLAND PORTIONS OF THE BRISTOL BAY ZONE WHERE S TO SW WINDS WILL FUNNEL AND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN COOLER. FROM DILLINGHAM SOUTH PRECIPITATION MAY BEGIN WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF HEAVY WET SNOW BUT SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW FRIDAY EVENING OR ALL RAIN FURTHER SOUTH. A MUCH COOLER AND SHOWERY AIR MASS WILL BEGIN PUSHING INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)... A RATHER STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST BRINGING WIDESPREAD GALES TO THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING AS WELL AS AN AREA OF STORMS TO WEST AND CENTRAL BERING OFFSHORE WATERS. A MUCH COLDER AIR MASS WILL PUSH OVER THE BERING FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 4 THROUGH 7)... THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BRING SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION TO MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND ON SATURDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BRING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION TO AREAS EAST OF ANCHORAGE THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.
