SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
439 PM AKST SUN DEC 6 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A BROAD COMPLEX LOW CENTERED IN THE VICINITY OF DUTCH HARBOR IS
THE CAUSE OF MOST OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE AREA...AFFECTING
NEARLY ALL OF THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON. A FRONT
EXTENDING NORTHWESTWARD FROM THE LOW IS MOVING CYCLONICALLY AROUND
THE LOW. IT IS KEEPING THE WINDS GUSTY THROUGH THE WESTERN BERING
SINCE THE FRONT IS LOCALLY ENHANCING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT IN THE
AREA. ELSEWHERE WINDS TO GALE FORCE OR LESS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED.
MUCH OF THE OF THE PRECIPITATION WITH THE LOW IS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE MOVEMENT OF LOCAL DISTURBANCES OR WITH AREAS OF THERMAL
ADVECTION THAT IS ENHANCING LIFT.

IN THE UPPER LEVELS...THE VERY ACTIVE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM
REMAINS WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA...SOUTH OF 45 DEGREES LATITUDE.
THUS THE DOMINANT FEATURE REMAINS THE UPPER LOW CENTERED WEST OF
DUTCH HARBOR...WHICH HAS ESSENTIALLY BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED
WITH THE BROAD SURFACE LOW IN THE SAME AREA. AS A RESULT OF THE
UPPER LOW REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY...THE ONLY FEATURES WITH
ENOUGH ENERGY TO CAUSE CHANGES IN THE SENSIBLE WEATHER ARE
GENERALLY WEAK SHORTWAVES CYCLONICALLY ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER
LOW.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MODELS IS HIGH FOR THE EARLY PORTION OF THE
SHORT-TERM. A STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN WITH NUMEROUS SMALL
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES IS GENERALLY BEING WELL-HANDLED BY THE
MODELS. MOVING A BIT FURTHER OUT IN TIME...A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY
EXTENDING SOUTH FROM THE LOW WILL CAUSE A LOCAL BUCKLING OF THE
SUBTROPICAL JET OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC IN THE NEXT DAY OR SO. THIS
ENERGY WILL INDUCE CYCLOGENESIS AS THE LOW APPROACHES THE GULF
FROM THE SOUTH. IT IS WITH THIS FEATURE THAT THE MODELS ARE
STRUGGLING. FROM THE PREVIOUS RUNS TO THE LATEST SET...THERE IS
EVEN LESS AGREEMENT IN THE STORMS TRACK AND STRENGTH. THIS IS IN
LARGE PART THE RESULT OF THE DATA-SPARSE NATURE OF THE AREA OVER
WHICH THE LOW WILL BE TRACKING...THE WIDE-OPEN NORTH PACIFIC.
THERE HAS BEEN A GENERAL EASTWARD SHIFT AND SOME WEAKENING IN THE
ENSEMBLE BLEND OF ALL OF THESE SOLUTIONS. HOWEVER...WITHOUT
CONSISTENCY NEITHER FROM RUN TO RUN NOR BETWEEN DIFFERENT MODELS
IN THE SAME RUN...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS CURRENTLY BELOW NORMAL
REGARDING THIS FEATURE. OVER THE MAINLAND...WITH VERY FEW FEATURES
TO NOTE...CONFIDENCE IN A CONTINUED PERSISTENT QUIET WEATHER
PATTERN FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS IS HIGH.

&&

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

DESPITE LOW-LEVEL DRYING AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING BUILDING
OVERHEAD...THERE HAS BEEN OCCASIONAL PATCHY FOG AROUND THE
AREA...PARTICULARLY TOWARD TURNAGAIN ARM AND NORTHEAST ANCHORAGE.
WITH CONTINUED DRYING...THIS FOG SHOULD GRADUALLY BECOME LESS AND
LESS THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. TOWARD INLAND AREAS OF THE
KENAI PENINSULA...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE SHELTERED VALLEYS...AND
OVER WESTERN THROUGH SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE COPPER RIVER
BASIN...FOG AND/OR LOW STRATUS MAY REMAIN THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
INTO EARLY MONDAY. THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...AS ANY SUSTAINED CLEARING
THAT OCCURS WILL CAUSE THEM TO DROP DRASTICALLY...WITH THE CURRENT
THINKING THAT THERE WILL BE CLEARING IN THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
PART OF THE ZONE BUT LESS SO TOWARD THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN
SECTIONS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY.

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE GULF WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
EASTERN GULF AND A FRONT OVER THE WESTERN GULF...COMBINED WITH
COLDER AIR OVER INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL...WILL CONTINUE TO KICK UP
GAP WINDS ALONG THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE GULF COAST...BUT
EXPECT SOME SLACKENING OF PRESSURE GRADIENTS AND WINDS THROUGH
TONIGHT AS THE FRONT EXITS. KODIAK WILL CONTINUE TO SEE PERIODS OF
RAIN ON THE NORTHEAST PERIPHERY OF A LOW COMPLEX SITTING OVER THE
ALEUTIANS AND NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC.

A STRONG GALE-FORCE LOW BEGINS TO MOVE TOWARD THE CENTRAL GULF
FROM THE SOUTH...WITH A PREDECESSOR FRONT REACHING THE CENTRAL
GULF MONDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN THE MAIN COMPLEX LOW ENTERING THE
GULF BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ONLY PERIPHERAL EFFECTS OF THIS STORM
WILL IMPACT THE GULF COAST THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...MAINLY WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND AN UPTICK IN OFFSHORE
WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL BRING CONTINUED CLEAR
SKIES AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS TO MOST INLAND AREAS...WITH GUSTY
OFFSHORE WINDS ALONG THE COAST. CLOUD COVER WILL THEN MOVE BACK
INTO THE AREA AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES OVER THE AREA STARTING MONDAY
MORNING...BRINGING SNOW MAINLY TO THE BRISTOL BAY COAST. THIS
SHORTWAVE WILL THEN DEPART THE AREA EARLY TUESDAY...BRINGING A
RETURN TO RIDGING...CLEAR SKIES AND COLD TEMPERATURES INTO
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM JUST SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL
BRING CONTINUED RAIN AND WIDESPREAD GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE
EASTERN BERING AND AKPEN INTO TUESDAY. OVER THE WESTERN
BERING/ALEUTIANS...NORTHERLY GALE TO STORM FORCE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO BLOW AHEAD OF A WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE
OF THIS LOW INTO MONDAY MORNING. THIS LOW WILL THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN
AS IT BREAKS APART OVER THE CENTRAL BERING/ALEUTIANS ON
TUESDAY...BRINGING CONTINUED GALES AND RAIN TO THE EASTERN
BERING...WITH SNOW TO THE WEST.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN BERING THAT HAS BEEN A
SEMI-PERMANENT FEATURE LATELY WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT INTO THE GULF
AND DEEPEN EARLY NEXT WEEK. AT THE SURFACE...A GALE FORCE FRONT
OVER THE CENTRAL GULF TUESDAY NIGHT WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN OVER THE
COURSE OF NEXT WEEK UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THIS WILL KEEP
MUCH OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER CONFINED TO THE GULF AND EASTERN BERING
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL BRING GENERALLY
OFFSHORE FLOW AND CLEAR SKIES FOR MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE GULF COAST. WHILE OVER THE
BERING...BROAD NORTHERLY GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BRING COLD AIR
ADVECTION SNOW SHOWERS TO THE AREA. BY LATE NEXT WEEK...THERE IS
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT THAT THE GULF LOW WILL DISSIPATE SOMEWHERE
AROUND THE NORTH GULF COAST...BRINGING INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SNOWFALL TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND.
