SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
419 PM AKDT WED APR 29 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE BERING SEA WITH AN EASTWARD
EXTENSION INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THERE IS AND UPPER LEVEL HIGH
OVER NORTHWEST ALASKA WITH WEAK RIDGING SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE
YUKON DELTA. MOST OF SOUTHERN ALASKA IS IN CYCLONIC FLOW WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. FAST FLOW
ALOFT CONTINUES ALONG THE JEST STREAM OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. AT
THE SURFACE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WEAK LOWS. ONE IS OVER THE GULF
OF ALASKA ANOTHER OVER THE CENTRAL BERING AND ANOTHER OVER
SOUTHWEST ALASKA STRETCHING TO JUST NORTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES IN SMALL SCALE
FEATURES BUT WITH THESE BEING FAIRLY WEAK THE AFFECT ON THE
FORECAST IS SMALL. FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE
IS THUS A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

A WEAKENING UPPER LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA CONTINUES TO
DRIVE MOST OF THE SENSIBLE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON WITH A COASTAL
FRONT MOVING TOWARD THE NORTH GULF COAST AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
RAIN SHOWERS OVER INLAND AREAS. THE HEAVIEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD
SHOWERS ARE ACROSS THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND SOUTH TO THE KENAI
PENINSULA. DOWNSLOPE FLOW IS KEEPING THE COPPER BASIN DRIER WHILE
STEADY RAIN IMPACTS THE NORTH GULF COAST. EVENTUALLY THE COASTAL
FRONT WILL MOVE INLAND AND WEAKEN TONIGHT WITH SLOWLY DRYING
CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. SHOWERS WILL TEND TO BECOME MORE
FOCUSED ALONG THE MOUNTAINS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY UNDER THE
PRESENCE OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL STEERING FLOW. DIURNAL SEA BREEZES
WILL BECOME MORE PROMINENT ACROSS COASTAL LOCATIONS.

KODIAK ISLAND WILL SEE A FRONT MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF
ALASKA THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT WITH RAIN SHOWERS LINGERING
THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE DRYING CONDITIONS MOVE IN FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW CENTERED OVER THE BERING SEA WILL KEEP THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND GENERALLY UNSTABLE THROUGH FRIDAY. ADDITIONALLY
A SHORTWAVE MOVING WEST ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING WILL KEEP THE MUCH OF THE REGION IN A FAIRLY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT WITH THE BEST AREAS
FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG ELEVATED TERRAIN. AREAS OF FOG
ARE EXPECTED ALONG THE BRISTOL BAY COAST TONIGHT WITH A SOUTHWESTERLY
PUSH OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.

A SECOND SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM HAS ENOUGH FORCING TO CONTINUE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED
SHOWERS OVER MUCH OF THE REGION. HOWEVER THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED
AS THE BEST DYNAMICS WILL BE NORTH OF THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
FAIRLY BENIGN WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE BERING SEA AND THE ALEUTIANS
AS A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS OVER CENTRAL BERING SEA WITH
MULTIPLE WEAK LOWS AROUND THE MAIN LOW NEAR 57N 176W. THIS WILL KEEP
MOST OF THE AREA IN A SHOWERY PATTERN WITH MOSTLY RAIN SHOWERS ALONG
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND THE ALEUTIANS AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE PRIBILOFS
TODAY. AS COOLER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE
LOW PRECIPITATION SHOULD SWITCH OVER TO A MOSTLY SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE
WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE AREA. AREAS OF FOG ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW MORNING THROUGH THE EASTERN BERING SEA.

THE NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION IS A LOW THAT IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE INTO THE REGION FROM THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA ON FRIDAY THAT
WILL BRING A SMALL AREA OF GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE FAR WESTERN
ALEUTIAN ISLANDS FRIDAY EVENING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAY 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION WILL HAVE LIGHT WINDS AS AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE GULF HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS RIDGE
BECOMES AMPLIFIED WITH A SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST POSITIONING BY
SATURDAY BEFORE A CLOSED HIGH DEVELOPS IN THE GULF WITH A RIDGE
EXTENDING INTO THE SOUTH CENTRAL INTERIOR BY SUNDAY. THIS RIDGE
WILL REMAIN IN POSITION THROUGH TUESDAY. THESE SYNOPTIC FEATURES
WILL BRING WARMER AND DRIER CONDITION EXCEPT FOR DIURNAL SHOWERS
IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.

THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL HAVE A GALE FORCE LOW WITH AN ASSOCIATED
WEATHER FRONT PUSHING INTO THE REGION BY FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL
TRACK ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN BEFORE BECOMING STATIONARY OVER THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL
BE ACCOMPANIED BY WIDESPREAD GALES AND PRECIPITATION AS THE SYSTEM
MOVES EAST. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS/BERING
BY SATURDAY. THIS RIDGE MOVES EAST AND BECOMES AMPLIFIED OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN GULF DURING THE SAME TIME FRAME THE NORTHERN BERING
SEA WILL HAVE AN UPPER LEVEL CLOSED HIGH DEVELOP IN THE AREA.
THESE SYNOPTIC FEATURES WILL GIVE THE BERING SEA AND THE MAJORITY
OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN NORTHEASTERLY WINDS BY TUESDAY. THE NORTHERN
BERING SEA WILL LIKELY HAVE STRATUS AND FOG BUILDING UNDER THE
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BY THE LATE WEEKEND THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT
OF THE DIFFERENT SYNOPTIC FEATURES WITH WPC CONTINUING TO USE A
BLEND OF THE ENSEMBLE MEANS AS WE GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND THE
EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.
