SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
535 AM AKDT THU APR 2 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
IN THE UPPER LEVELS THE MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES ARE THE TROUGH
OVER CENTRAL ALASKA AND A LARGE COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA.
ANOTHER LOW IS SITUATED OVER THE NORTHERN KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WITH
AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC OVER THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING SEA. THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GULF IS
SUPPORTING THE WEAKENING SURFACE LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF. THIS
LOW HAS AN OCCLUDED FRONT THAT IS WRAPPING NORTH AND WEST AROUND
THE LOW ACROSS THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN GULF. WEAK UPPER
DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO ROTATE NORTH TO WEST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA...TAPPING INTO A RATHER UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE
PERIODS OF RAIN AND OUT OVER THE OPEN WATERS...SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE NORTH GULF COAST...AND
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS ON THE INLAND SIDE
OF THE CHUGACH/KENAI MOUNTAIN RANGE.

OUT WEST...THE KAMCHATKA LOW HAS A MARGINAL GALE-FORCE FRONT
PUSHING NORTH ALONG A LINE THIS MORNING FROM THE WESTERN BERING TO
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING INTO
SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA...LOW STRATUS WITH RELATIVELY LIGHT WINDS
PREDOMINATES.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
OVER THE WESTERN BERING...THE GALE FORCE FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NORTH THROUGH THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING SEA THROUGH
FRIDAY AS THE PARENT LOW MOVES NORTH INTO EASTERN RUSSIA. A FAIRLY
STRONG DISTURBANCE WILL WRAP AROUND THE SOUTHERN END OF THE
KAMCHATKA LOW AND IMPACT THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. MUTUAL AMPLIFICATION OF THE SURFACE
LOW AND THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY PRODUCE
GALE-FORCE WINDS WITH THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW AS IT ENTERS THE
SOUTHERN BERING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A NARROW BAND OF
STORM-FORCE GUSTS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW AS COLDER AIR ALOFT
WRAPS INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...BUT THE TIMING AND LOCATION WHERE THIS OCCURS IS STILL
SOMEWHAT IN DOUBT...WITH AN EC/GEM COMBO THE PREFERRED MODEL
CHOICE AND THE GFS SOMEWHAT OF AN OUTLIER AS MODEL DISAGREEMENT
BEGINS TO INCREASE BY FRIDAY OVER THIS REGION.

THE GULF LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHERN GULF...AND THIS WILL HELP BRING A MORE NORTHERLY AND
DRIER FLOW (AND A BIT MORE STABLE) PATTERN ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA BY THU AFTERNOON. THIS WILL USHER IN A RETURN OF THE
OUTFLOW GAP TYPE WINDS THROUGH THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS...THOUGH WE
CURRENTLY DO NOT ANTICIPATE WINDS RISING TO WARNING LEVELS. A
BLEND OF MODELS WITH VERY LITTLE OVERALL CHANGE SYNOPTICALLY IS
PREFERRED IN THIS REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW COMPLEX OVER THE GULF AND ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL CONTINUE
TO SLIP SOUTH AND EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. IN
RESPONSE...SHOWERS ALONG THE GULF COAST WILL DIMINISH. OUTFLOW
WINDS CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS MORNING OVER THE
EASTERN KENAI AND NORTH GULF COAST...SLOWING WEAKENING THIS
AFTERNOON. PRESSURE/THERMAL GRADIENTS WILL INCREASE AGAIN SOME
TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR OUTFLOW/GAP WINDS TO REDEVELOP. AN UPPER
TROUGH DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF THE INTERIOR TO OVER SOUTHCENTRAL FRI
AFTERNOON/FRI NIGHT LOOKS A LITTLE MORE INTENSE THEN EARLIER MODEL
RUNS. CURRENT THINKING IS TO INTRODUCE SHOWERS ALONG THE TALKEETNA
MOUNTAINS..AK RANGE...AND COPPER RIVER BASIN DURING THESE TIME
PERIODS.

GULF...GALES OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT WILL HOLD ON OVER THE WESTERN GULF THROUGH LATE
THIS EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE DOMINATE WEATHER FEATURES TODAY FOR SW ALASKA WILL BE THE
WEAKENING COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA AND THE SHORTWAVE
RIDGE CURRENTLY MOVING EASTWARD ALONG THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND
BERING SEA. THIS IS KEEPING THE REGION IN GENERALLY DRY NORTHERLY
FLOW WHICH WILL LIMIT ANY PRECIPITATION TO THE LIGHT FLURRIES
ALONG THE WESTERN COAST AND THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA THIS MORNING. A WELL DEFINED FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
