SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
543 AM AKST FRI NOV 27 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A BROAD AND AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS CONTINUES TO BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW TO
THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND AS A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES MOVES OVER THE
AREA. THE JET IS WRAPPED AROUND THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE LOW AND
IS BEGINNING TO STRENGTHEN AS IT STRETCHES FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC
INTO THE GULF. RIDGING OVER THE PANHANDLE IS ALSO BRINGING A VERY
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND STORM FORCE WINDS TO THE GULF
WATERS...AS WELL AS STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG TURNAGAIN AND
KNIK ARM. STRONG WINDS ALOFT HAVE ALSO CREATED MOUNTAIN WAVE ON
THE LEE SIDE OF THE CHUGACH AND KENAI MOUNTAINS THAT CAN BE SEEN
ON SEEN ON SATELLITE STRETCHING FROM THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA
INTO THE MATANUSKA VALLEY. TO THE SOUTH...A DEVELOPING WAVE
LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND IS TRACKING NORTHWARD TOWARDS
THE WESTERN GULF WHERE IT WILL CAUSE WINDS THROUGHOUT THE GULF TO
INCREASE AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. OVER THE WESTERN BERING STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION IS BEGINNING TO SHOW WITH WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY
ASSOCIATED WITH BROAD GALE FORCE NORTHERLY FLOW.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE STILL IN GREAT SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...AND HAVE COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE NEXT
SYSTEM TO TRACK THROUGH THE ALEUTIANS ON SATURDAY/SUNDAY. AS A
RESULT THE HIGHER RESOLUTION NAM AND ARW WERE USED HEAVILY TODAY
TO BETTER CAPTURE GAP WINDS...POTENTIAL MOUNTAIN WAVE ACTIVITY
AND DOWNSLOPING THROUGHOUT SOUTHCENTRAL THROUGH THIS EVENING. OVER
THE BERING...THE GEM REGIONAL WAS UTILIZED FOR THE WEAKENING
COMPLEX LOW OVER THE EASTERN BERING...FOLLOWED BY A PREFERENCE
TOWARDS THE DEEPER EC/GEM GLOBAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE ALEUTIAN LOW
THIS WEEKEND.

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

A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING THE GULF IS SUPPORTING ANOTHER ROUND
OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND GUSTY GAP WINDS IN PORTIONS OF
SOUTHCENTRAL. STEADY RAIN HAS BEEN FALLING ACROSS PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND...THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA AND WESTERN SUSITNA VALLEY.
MEANWHILE...DOWNSLOPING HAS LIMITED PRECIPITATION TO LIGHT SHOWERS
ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...THE MATANUSKA VALLEY AND SUSITNA
VALLEY. AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO PROGRESS NORTHWARD
TODAY...PRESSURE GRADIENTS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME EVEN MORE
ENHANCED...AND LOCALLY STRONG GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
ANCHORAGE BOWL AND IN MATANUSKA VALLEY...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS
EXPECTED THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM THIS MORNING. WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN BY THE EVENING HOURS AS THIS FRONT WEAKENS AND PRESSURE
GRADIENTS DECREASE.

FOR SATURDAY...NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE REGION
AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE. BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
SUPPORT LIGHT SHOWERS ALONG THE GULF COAST...AS GAP WINDS
GRADUALLY RELAX.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
AN UPPER LEVEL WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BRISTOL BAY
INTERIOR NORTHWARD INTO THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY TODAY. THE MAIN
ISSUE WILL BE THE WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION. THE BRISTOL BAY
INTERIOR AND THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WILL HAVE COOLER
TEMPERATURES AT THE SURFACE AND COMBINED WITH THE WARMER AIR
ALOFT MOVING OVER THE COOLER SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE
THE CHANCES FOR BRIEF PERIODS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN DURING THE
MORNING HOURS. THE MAIN AREAS OF SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE NORTH
AND WEST OF DILLINGHAM WITH UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE AHKLUN
MOUNTAINS. IN THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR WEST OF SLEETMUTE AND ALONG THE ALASKA
RANGE. BY SATURDAY ANOTHER WEAK WEATHER FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
SOUTHWEST COASTLINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
LOCATED JUST NORTH OF NUNIVAK ISLAND. THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION
WILL BE ALONG THE COAST WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S AND LOWER
30S INLAND EXCEPT FOR UPPER 20S IN LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY.
THEREFORE...LOOK FOR SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST WITH RAIN
AND SNOW SHOWERS INLAND EXCEPT FOR ALL SNOW SHOWERS IN LOWER
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WITH THE COLDER TEMPERATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE BERING SEA WILL UNDER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEFORE SHIFTING MORE
WESTERLY AS THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE BRISTOL BAY REGION WILL TRACK
JUST NORTH OF NUNIVAK ISLAND BY SATURDAY. THIS WILL PRODUCE A
SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. BY SATURDAY A
STORM FORCE LOW WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FROM THE
NORTH PACIFIC SIDE. THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT WITH THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE TRACKING THROUGH THE WESTERN TO CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS TO
THE WESTERN TO CENTRAL CHAIN AND NORTHEASTERLY ON THE LOWER
WESTERN TO CENTRAL BERING SIDE GOING INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL
BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES WITH PRECIPITATION FALLING AS ALL RAIN
WITH TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE FREEZING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

STARTING OFF THE LONG TERM FORECAST PERIOD...THE MODELS ARE IN
EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON THE OVERALL PATTERN GIVEN BEING 3 DAYS OUT.
THE PATTERN FEATURES A VERY BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ANCHORED
OVER THE BERING SEA. MEANWHILE LOBES OF UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY
REVOLVING CYCLONICALLY AROUND THE CENTER OF THE TROUGH OVER THE
WESTERN BERING WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC
AND GULF OF ALASKA. A HIGHLY ENERGETIC SUBTROPICAL JET SOUTH OF
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE FLOW AS AN UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH...WHICH IS ALSO ONE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
LOBES OF ENERGY...PUSHES INTO THE WESTERN GULF SATURDAY NIGHT.

WITH TIME THE MODELS PREDICTABLY BEGIN DIFFERING MORE AND MORE ON
WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL UPPER-LEVEL FEATURES ARE...WHICH IN TURN
IMPACTS WHERE EACH MODEL DEPICTS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT.
HOWEVER...THE BROAD PATTERN INDICATES A GRADUAL SOUTHWARD DRIFT OF
THE SUBTROPICAL JET FURTHER FROM THE ALEUTIANS...WITH GRADUAL
EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE UPPER-LEVEL COLD AIR TOWARDS MAINLAND
ALASKA.

THE RESULT OF THIS PATTERN FAVORS AN EVENTUAL RETURN TO MORE
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES TO MUCH OF SOUTHERN ALASKA...THOUGH
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PATTERN ALSO DOES NOT FAVOR
INTRUSIONS OF BITTERLY COLD AIR INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA EITHER. WITH
THE CENTER OF THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH EXPECTED TO REMAIN WEST OF
SOUTHCENTRAL AND GENERAL RIDGING EAST OF THE AREA...THAT PATTERN
ALSO TENDS TO FAVOR ACTIVE WEATHER WITH RELATIVELY FREQUENT ROUNDS
OF PRECIPITATION.
