Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 5:28 AM AKDT, 9 hours 53 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
528 AM AKDT FRI APR 3 2015
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGES ARE OVER THE NORTHERN/EASTERN BERING...BRITISH
COLUMBIA AND THE YUKON INTO THE SOUTHEAST ALASKA MAINLAND. A
LARGE CUT-OFF LOW CENTERED ABOUT 200 NM WEST OF HAIDA GWAII
CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH AND EAST AND WILL MOVE COMPLETELY AWAY
FROM THE AREA BY THIS EVENING. A WEAK YET NARROW UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE OVER THE WESTERN ALASKA RANGE IS SLIDING SOUTHEAST AND
WILL MOVE OVER THE COOK INLET REGION TODAY. THE AMPLIFIED RIDGE
CONTINUES TO SLIDE NORTH AND EAST...A PRECURSOR TO AN UPCOMING
PATTERN CHANGE. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS PUSHING A
DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
THIS MORNING AND WILL QUICKLY RACE NORTH AND EAST TODAY INTO
SATURDAY AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE BERING STRAIT AND SEWARD PENINSULA
LATE SATURDAY.
&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A PATTERN CHANGE IS UNDERWAY.
AS THE KAMCHATKA TROUGH MOVES EAST IT WILL CAUSE THE BERING RIDGE
TO BUILD...WHICH IN TURN WILL SLOWLY CAUSE THE CUT-OFF LOW OVER
THE BERING TO EXIT SOUTHEAST ALONG WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE THE CUT-OFF LOW AWAY FROM THE
MAINLAND TODAY.
ON FRIDAY...THE KAMCHATKA TROUGH CLOSES INTO AN UPPER LOW THAT
THEN MOVES TO NORTHERN BERING SATURDAY...VERTICALLY STACKED OVER
A SURFACE LOW THAT MOVES WITH THE PARENT LOW. A TRIPLE POINT LOW
FROM THE STRETCHED-OUT FRONT DEVELOPS EAST OF THE KODIAK ISLAND ON
SATURDAY AND DRIFTS EAST INTO THE CENTRAL GULF SATURDAY NIGHT.
BY SATURDAY NIGHT THE UPPER CONFIGURATION WILL CONSIST OF A NEW
TROUGH WITH STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
BERING...A BROAD RIDGE FROM THE WESTERN BERING TO THE EASTERN
PACIFIC WITH A DECAYING SURFACE LOW OVER THE FAR NORTHERN BERING
AND A WEAKENING FRONT/TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA MAINLAND...AND
THE FORMER GULF LOW APPROACHING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
THE FORECAST UTILIZES A BLEND OF MODELS THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE NAM PREFERRED FOR INCREASED RESOLUTION OF LOCAL
FEATURES IN THE SHORT TERM FOR THE EAST DOMAIN...WITH A BLEND OF
MODELS TOWARD THE ALEUTIANS EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD TRANSITIONING
TOWARD THE EURO MODEL TOWARD SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE NEW STRENGTHENING
LOW IN THE WESTERN BERING.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
PRESSURE GRADIENTS CONTINUE TO BUILD ACROSS THE GULF COAST THIS
MORNING AND WILL GIVE RISE TO BRISK GAP/OUTFLOW WINDS CONDITIONS
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST/EASTERN KENAI PEN. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
SOME LATE THIS AFTERNOON BUT WILL RE-INTENSIFY THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN KENAI...AS PASSAGE OF AN
UPPER TROUGH BRINGS COLD ADVECTION AND SUPPORTING NW FLOW ALOFT.
MARINE AREAS OVER THE WESTERN GULF WILL ALSO SEE INCREASED WINDS
TONIGHT. WINDS IN MOST AREAS WILL DIMINISH AS COLD ADVECTION ENDS
AND THE FLOW BACKS AROUND TO THE SW IN ADVANCE OF APPROACHING
FRONTAL TROUGH FROM THE SW.
THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING IN FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT
WILL KICK OFF SHOWERS ALONG THE TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS...CHUGACH...AND
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. SHOWERS ALONG THE CHUGACH/TALKEETNA RANGES
SHOULD END AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH TROUGH PASSAGE BUT WILL LINGER ON
INTO SAT OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. A FRONT MOVING IN FROM THE
SOUTHWEST SAT WILL BRING RAIN TO KODIAK AND INCREASED CHANCES OF
SNOW/RAIN TO THE MAINLAND SAT AFTERNOON INTO SUN. PRECIPITATION
SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT AS THE BRUNT OF THE ENERGY WITH THE FRONT
WILL BE CARRIED SOUTH BY A TRIPLE POINT WHICH DEVELOPS NEAR
KODIAK.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING DRY NORTHERLY FLOW TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA
TODAY. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME LIGHT SNOW ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA COASTLINE...PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE MINIMAL TODAY
UNTIL A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A RAPIDLY MOVING NORTH PACIFIC LOW
THAT IS CURRENTLY NEAR SHEMYA BEGINS TO IMPACT THE REGION TONIGHT.
PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN ALONG THE COAST MAINLY AS SNOW BEFORE
TRANSITIONING OVER TO A RAIN SNOW MIX EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. THE
FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO SLOW AND DISSIPATE LATE TOMORROW EVENING AS
THE LOW MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN BERING...BRINGING ONLY A CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF SW ALASKA.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE NEXT 48 HOURS LOOK TO BE VERY ACTIVE IN THE WEST WITH A LOW
NEAR SHEMYA MOVING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST TOWARDS ST MATTHEW ISLAND
TODAY. MODEL SOLUTIONS HAVE GRADUALLY BEEN TRENDING NORTH WITH
THIS SYSTEM...SO WINDS IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE HAVE BEEN LOWERED
SLIGHTLY ON THE PACIFIC SIDE OF THE FORECAST AREA AS THE STRONGEST
AREA OF WINDS ARE NOW EXPECTED ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW NORTH OF
THE ALEUTIANS. AS THE ASSOCIATED FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION
TODAY EXPECT MAINLY RAIN WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM WITH SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN OVER THE PRIBILOFS TODAY.
AS TODAYS LOW MOVES NORTH AND BEGINS TO DISSIPATE...A SECOND AND
MORE ROBUST NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL ENTER THE REGION NEAR SHEMYA
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 988 MB BY
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND WILL PRODUCE WIDE SWATHS OF GALE FORCE
WINDS OVER MOST OF THE REGION AS THE LOW MOVES RAPIDLY
