Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 5:24 AM AKDT, 9 hours 40 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 524 AM AKDT MON APR 13 2015 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... TROUGHING OVER THE REGION CONTINUES TO EXERT ITS INFLUENCE THIS MORNING. WITH A LARGE POOL OF ARCTIC AIR PUSHING INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC FROM THE BERING SEA...THE ENHANCED BAROCLINIC ZONE IS STRENGTHENING THE ALREADY POTENT NORTH PACIFIC JET STREAM. A STRONG STORM FORCE LOW CAN BE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR AND INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY TRACKING TOWARD THE CENTRAL ALEUTIAN CHAIN...WITH ANOTHER STRONG LOW FORMING NEAR SITKA. ACROSS ALASKA...A WEAK AND ILL-DEFINED DEFORMATION ZONE REMAINS OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE. THIS FEATURE WILL WEAKEN AS THE PARENT TROUGH...CURRENTLY IN THE VICINITY OF KODIAK ISLAND...WEAKENS AND MOVES TOWARD THE PANHANDLE OF ALASKA. SHOWERS OVER THE GULF AND SOUTHERN ALASKA WILL DIMINISH TODAY AND BECOME RELEGATED TO THE MOUNTAINS. EVENTUALLY THE STRONG LOW TRACKING SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WILL WEAKEN AND MOVE INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA LATE MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...KEEPING THE ACTIVE PATTERN IN PLACE OVER MUCH OF ALASKA. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM WITH FEW IF ANY MAJOR DISCREPANCIES NOTED. BY LATE WEEK...DISCREPANCIES WITH THE UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER THE STATE BEGIN TO BECOME NOTABLE AS THE REMNANT GULF LOW MERGES WITH A COMPLEX TROUGH OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THIS WILL INFLUENCE PRECIPITATION PATTERNS ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA LATE WEDNESDAY INTO LATE FRIDAY. FOR NOW...A GENERAL ENSEMBLE APPROACH OF THE GFS AND ECMWF WAS UTILIZED TOWARD THE END OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST OWING TO HIGHER UNCERTAINTY BY THAT TIME PERIOD. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THROUGH DAY TWO...THEN BECOMES MODERATE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... ONSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING WILL WEAKEN BY AFTERNOON AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE STATE. CONVECTIVE SHOWERS OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT COASTAL LOCATIONS ALONG THE KENAI PENINSULA...BUT WILL OTHERWISE WEAKEN AND WANE THROUGH THE DAY. ELSEWHERE...SOME LOCAL AREAS OF PATCHY FOG AND LOW STRATUS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL WILL GRADUALLY BURN OFF BY MIDDAY...LEAVING MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INCREASING SUNSHINE AND OVERALL QUIESCENT WEATHER. SHOWERS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN RELEGATED TO THE MOUNTAINS WITH ONLY A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING INLAND DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ON TUESDAY...A MODERATE GALE FORCE FRONT WILL RAPIDLY MOVE INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA...SPREADING MOISTURE AND PRECIPITATION TO COASTAL LOCATIONS. KODIAK ISLAND AND PORTIONS OF THE GULF COAST SEE A PERIOD OF SNOWFALL TUESDAY BEFORE RAPIDLY CHANGING OVER TO RAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2...MONDAY AND TUESDAY)...LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES TO LINGER IN A SMALL AREA NORTH OF KING SALMON AND EAST OF DILLINGHAM. SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL LIKELY CONTINUE IN THIS AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THE MORNING HOURS TODAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE PIVOTS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE. THE SNOW SHOWERS COULD MEANDER A BIT FURTHER WEST AIDED BY SOME LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE CAUSED BY A WEAK TROUGH SLIDING TO THE EAST THROUGH THE YUKON KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD WEAKEN INTO EARLY TUESDAY AS A MID-LEVEL RIDGE APPROACHES IN ADVANCE OF THE DEEP NORTH PACIFIC LOW. THEN FLOW SWITCHES AROUND TO MORE OF A NORTHEASTERLY DIRECTION TUESDAY WHICH SHOULD LEAD TO SOME DRYING AND A FEW MORE BREAKS OF THE SUN OVER THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. AS THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOW APPROACHES THE ALEUTIAN RANGE DURING THE DAY TUESDAY...SOUTHEAST CROSS BARRIER FLOW SHOULD KEEP MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH BRISTOL BAY DRY. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2...MONDAY AND TUESDAY)...OUR NORTH PACIFIC LOW IS JUST ABOUT AT ITS MAXIMUM INTENSITY THIS MORNING IN THE LOW 970 MB RANGE. SO FAR GALE FORCE WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM ADAK OVER TO BUOY 72. THESE WINDS COUPLED WITH SOME MODERATELY HEAVY PRECIPITATION RATES HAVE BROUGHT VISIBILITIES BELOW ONE MILE AT TIMES. SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD EAST TOWARD DUTCH HARBOR AND EVENTUALLY COLD BAY AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY.
