SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
424 PM AKST TUE JAN 20 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS SHIFTING OVER THE STATE AS THE RIDGE
OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA IS MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD AND AMPLIFYING
IN THE EASTERN GULF. WHILE THE MAIN PART OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
IS EXTENDING OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA INTO CANADA A SIDE LOBE OF THIS
RIDGE IS ORIENTED EAST TO WEST FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA. THIS IS ALLOWING A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO
EXTEND OUT OF THE ARCTIC AND OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE.
THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS WITH THE JET
STREAM RUNNING SOUTH OF IT. THIS IS A BIT COMPLEX RIGHT NOW BUT IT
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE
MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE DIGGING SOUTHWARD AND MERGING WITH THE
ALEUTIAN LOW AS IT HEADS EASTWARD. THIS WILL LEAVE A LONGWAVE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE AND ALLOW
COLDER AIR TO MOVE INTO THE REGION.

AT THE SURFACE...THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA IS A BIT
STRONGER AND FARTHER WEST THAN WAS EXPECTED YESTERDAY. THIS IS
LEADING TO GALE FORCE WINDS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND SOME
PRECIPITATION TO MOVE AS FAR WESTWARD AS PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.
THIS LOW WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD TONIGHT AND ALLOW THE SURFACE
RIDGE IN WESTERN ALASKA TO EXTEND OVER MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA.
THE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS WILL ELONGATE AS THE MAIN
CENTER CONTINUES ITS NORTHEASTWARD PROGRESSION.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
ALTHOUGH MODEL INITIALIZATION IS GOOD OVERALL THEY QUICKLY SHOW
THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITH THE WAY THE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN
ISLANDS ELONGATES AND MOVES NORTHEASTWARD. ALL MODELS SHOW THIS
HAPPENING BUT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES THAT NEED TO BE
ADDRESSED. TO START OFF WITH...THE GFS SOLUTION BY FRIDAY SHOWS A
LOW POSITION THAT IS TOO FAR WEST WITH THE ENERGY CONSOLIDATED TOO
MUCH INTO ONE MAIN LOW. THIS IS UNLIKELY TO OCCUR WITH THE DEVELOPING
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. FOR THESE TWO REASONS THE GFS WAS NOT
PREFERRED. THE NAM AND ECMWF ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT FOR MOST OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD BUT THE ECMWF HAS BEEN MUCH MORE STABLE RUN TO
RUN THAN THE NAM HAS BEEN. THE ECMWF MADE A SUBTLE BUT IMPORTANT
SHIFT ON ITS 12Z RUN THIS MORNING WHICH MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA LATER THIS WEEK. THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH THAT IS DIGGING INTO WESTERN ALASKA THURSDAY IS NOW
STRONGER AND MOVING FARTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST AND INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA ON FRIDAY. SHOULD THIS HAPPEN IT WOULD BRING
IN A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA BY
FRIDAY. THE NAM IS NUDGING ITS SOLUTIONS TOWARD THIS AS WELL BUT
THE ECMWF IS SHOWING A BIGGER EVENT THAN THE NAM. THERE IS STILL A
LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS AT THIS TIME
AND THEREFORE CONFIDENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT AREA-WIDE SNOW EVENT IS
NOT TERRIBLY HIGH. THIS IS HOWEVER THE FIRST STRONG INDICATION OF
A SNOWFALL IN SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IN WEEKS AND THE MODEL TRENDS
WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE RUN ARE HEADING TOWARD FORECASTING SNOW. THE
NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS WILL BE CRUCIAL IN DECIDING WHETHER IT LOOKS
LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL OR JUST A LIGHT ONE. FOR SOUTHWEST
ALASKA THE DIFFERENCES IN MODELS WILL NOT HAVE AS MUCH IMPACT AS
THEY ALL HAVE SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND MOST OF THE BERING SEA UNDER
HIGH PRESSURE AND A COLD AIRMASS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (TONIGHT THRU FRI)...
THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF HAS BROUGHT IN GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS TO
MANY LOCATIONS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST. THESE WINDS WILL
DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES NORTHEAST. EXCEPT
FOR THE CLOUD COVER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IN THE PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND AREA AND COPPER RIVER BASIN SKIES SHOULD BE CLEAR OVERNIGHT
WITH ENOUGH OF A GRADIENT AND DRIER AIR TO KEEP ANY WIDESPREAD FOG
FROM DEVELOPING. THE CLEAR SKIES WILL PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AND THEN AN INVERTED TROUGH IN THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL ROTATE
NORTHWARD AND BEGIN TO BRING CLOUDS TO THE GULF COAST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WITH PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST
THURSDAY. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BE RAIN ALONG THE NORTH GULF
COAST TRANSITIONING TO SNOW TOWARD VALDEZ AND BE SNOW AROUND MOST
OF THE COOK INLET POPULATION CENTERS. SNOW IN THE INLAND AREAS
WILL LIKELY BEGIN BETWEEN THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT DEPENDING ON
LOCATION AND ACTUAL SPEED OF THE UPPER LEVEL ARCTIC TROUGH MOVING
IN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH ROTATING IN FROM
THE SOUTHEAST. THERE IS A CHANCE THERE COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT
AREA- WIDE SNOWFALL FOR MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA FROM THIS
SYSTEM...HOWEVER IT WILL ONLY TAKE A SMALL CHANGE IN THE SPEED AND
STRENGTH OF EITHER TROUGH TO MAKE IT A SMALL SNOWFALL. WHILE
CONFIDENCE IS GROWING THAT SNOW WILL OCCUR...IT IS STILL NOT
CERTAIN WHERE...WHEN...AND HOW MUCH.

&&

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

DRY OFFSHORE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH GRADUALLY COOLING TEMPERATURES. WINDS WILL BE
RATHER BREEZY ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA
WEDNESDAY...WITH WIND CHILLS RUNNING IN THE 15 BELOW TO 30 BELOW RANGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO GALE FORCE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA AS A NORTH PACIFIC LOW MOVES TOWARD THE
ALASKA PENINSULA. RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE PREVALENT ALONG
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN...WITH DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE EASTERN AND
CENTRAL BERING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
A SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE WILL BE UNDERWAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND BY THIS WEEKEND AS THE NARROW RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE
GULF INTO THE CENTRAL BERING WEAKENS AND THE REGION BECOMES
DOMINATED BY A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH. THERE WILL LIKELY BE ONE
EMBEDDED LOW CENTER OVER THE ARCTIC AND ANOTHER PASSING SOUTH OF
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP SUBSTANTIALLY BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS THE ARCTIC TROUGH DIGS OVER THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND...WITH OFFSHORE FLOW AT THE SURFACE SUPPORTING GENERALLY
COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
