SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
442 PM AKST SAT DEC 19 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE PATTERN OVER THE STATE IS A VERY ACTIVE ONE TODAY AS A STRONG
JET STREAM RUNS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND GULF OF
ALASKA. THE ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE LOW
CENTER OVER KAMCHATKA THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA...COMBINED WITH
THE LOCATION OF THE JET...SETS UP THE AREA FOR THE MULTIPLE AREAS
OF LOW PRESSURE. THE LOW IN THE GULF IS FARTHER SOUTH THAN
ANTICIPATED YESTERDAY AND IS CAUSING THE SNOWFALL OVER KODIAK
ISLAND AND THE RAIN AND SNOW MIX OVER THE NORTH GULF COAST.
FARTHER WEST THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN BERING SEA IS WEAKENING AND
WILL MAKE ITS WAY ONSHORE IN THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TOMORROW. THE
LOW IN THE FAR WESTERN BERING SEA WILL GET ITS ENERGY CUT OFF BY
A RAPIDLY DEVELOPING LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY SOUTH OF ATTU. THIS LOW
WILL MOVE NORTHWEST OF ADAK AND BECOME THE MAIN WEATHER CONCERN
FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA REGION BUT
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT ALL IS WELL WITH THE SOLUTIONS. THE TRACK
OF THE LOW CURRENTLY IN THE GULF IS MUCH FARTHER SOUTH THAN MODELS
HAD IT YESTERDAY. MODELS NOW HAVE THE LOW TRACKING SOUTH OF MIDDLETON
ISLAND WHERE THEY SHOWED A TRACK NEAR PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND YESTERDAY.
THE MAP ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOW THE LOW IN THE
FARTHER SOUTH POSITION AND THEREFORE THE CURRENT RUNS LOOK REASONABLE.
HOWEVER IT BEARS WATCHING AS THE APPARENTLY GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS
FROM YESTERDAY JUST SHOWED THEM ALL BEING IN ERROR.

IN THE BERING SEA THE MODELS ALL INITIALIZED WELL ON THE LOW IN
THE NORTHERN BERING SEA. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT LOW WILL MOVE INTO
THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SUNDAY AND MODELS SEEMS TO
HANDLE IT WELL THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN ISSUES ARISE AS
THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN INTO THE BERING SEA AND
BEGINS TO ELONGATE...AS A TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPS SOMEWHERE
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. AT THIS POINT THE ECMWF SOLUTION
IS PREFERRED WITH THE FARTHER EAST POSITION OF THE MAIN LOW AND
THE LOCATION IT EXPECTS THE TRIPLE POINT TO DEVELOP (IN THE
VICINITY OF SAND POINT EARLY MONDAY).

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
WITH THE LOW OVER THE GULF BEGINNING TO MOVE OFFSHORE...THE FOCUS
FOR THE WEATHER TONIGHT WILL BE CENTERED AROUND A DEFORMATION
BAND THAT HAS SETUP OVER THE WESTERN GULF AND COOK INLET. THIS
DEFORMATION BAND WILL BRING A FEW INCHES OF NEW SNOW TO THE
SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA THIS EVENING...AS WELL AS CONTINUED WET
SNOW TO NORTHERN KODIAK ISLAND. THIS DEFORMATION BAND WAS
INITIALLY PROJECTED TO MOVE NORTHWARD UP COOK INLET...BRINGING A
CHANCE OF SNOW TO SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT. HOWEVER WITH THE RECENT
SOUTHERLY TRACK OF THE GULF LOW SOUTHCENTRAL WILL REMAIN CLOUDY
AND DOWNSLOPED...WITH NO SNOWFALL EXPECTED. HEAVY SNOWFALL OVER
THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WILL BEGIN
TO BREAK UP INTO SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT AS THE FRONT WEAKENS AND
THE LOW SPINS OFF TO THE SOUTH. CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE AREA
ARE THEN EXPECTED TO IMPROVE ON SUNDAY WITH DIMINISHING WINDS AND
CLEARING SKIES AS WEAK RIDGING MOVES IN BEHIND THE GULF LOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A SURFACE LOW MOVES INLAND ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TONIGHT AND
CONTINUES A SOUTHEAST TRACK TOWARD THE ALEUTIAN RANGE THROUGH
SUNDAY AND WEAKENS. WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT ACROSS THE VALLEYS
WITH A STRONGER FLOW OUT OF THE SOUTH ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA.
WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST BEHIND THE SURFACE LOW ON
SUNDAY ACROSS THE DELTA. PATCHY FOG ACROSS VALLEYS MAY BECOME
LOCALLY DENSE AT TIMES TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY NIGHT. SNOW
WILL DEVELOP ALONG A WEAK TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING FROM THE SURFACE
LOW WITH THE BEST DYNAMICS SUPPORTING ONLY LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TONIGHT. THIS WEAK SYSTEM DIMINISHES BY
MONDAY...HOWEVER ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN BERING/ALEUTIANS...
INCLUDING THE ALASKA PENINSULA...WILL TAPER DOWN LATE TONIGHT AS
THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING FILLS AS IT MOVES INLAND
ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THE NEXT LOW FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC
DEVELOPS ON SUNDAY BRINGING STRONG WINDS TO THE WESTERN CHAIN
THROUGH MONDAY AS IT TRACKS INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING. A HIGH WIND
WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE AS COLD AIR
ADVECTION ALONG THE BASE OF THE DEEPENING LOW ACCELERATES WESTERLY
WINDS SUNDAY NIGHT. THE LOW IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH AND SLOWLY
WEAKEN ON MONDAY...HOWEVER THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE MONITORED FOR
UPDATES AS MODELS CONTINUE TO SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFER WITH THE
TRACK...POSSIBLY BRINGING A LONGER DURATION FOR HIGH WINDS ON
MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE JET STREAM WILL KEEP THE ACTIVE STORM TRACK SUPPRESSED SOUTH
OF THE ALASKA MAINLAND FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK...AND WILL ALLOW FOR
COLD AIR TO SPILL SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA. THIS WILL RESULT IN
WELL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY THE MIDDLE TO LATER PART OF
CHRISTMAS WEEK...ESPECIALLY FOR SOUTHCENTRAL. MODEL AGREEMENT WITH
INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS AND FEATURES IS POOR AT BEST...YIELDING LOW
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST OUTSIDE OF THE FACT THAT BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND OUTFLOW WINDS WILL IMPACT THE REGION. HOWEVER
THERE IS HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER THE MAINLAND...ESPECIALLY SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA...AND OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE ONE OF THE MAIN IMPACTS FROM
THE COLD AIR FILTERING THROUGH THE TERRAIN GAPS INTO THE NORTHERN
GULF AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.

ACROSS THE BERING REGION...THE MAIN FEATURE THAT WILL BEAR WATCHING
WILL BE THE DEPARTING STRONG LOW HEADING TOWARD THE GULF MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY. THERE WILL THEN BE A POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER STRONG
LOW ENTERING THE SOUTHWEST BERING FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC MID TO
LATE WEEK THAT MAY BRING A ROUND OF STRONG WINDS TO THE REGION AT
SOME POINT DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
