SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
603 AM AKST SUN DEC 13 2015
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS RATHER STRAIGHTFORWARD THIS MORNING...WITH
A WEAKENING UPPER TROUGH OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE NORTHERN GULF
OF ALASKA...A SHORTWAVE RIDGE AXIS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA...AND A
VERY POWERFUL HURRICANE FORCE BENT-BACK OCCLUSION OVER THE BERING
SEA. BUOYS HAVE ANALYZED THIS STORM INTO THE HIGH 920 HPA
RANGE...MAKING THIS POWERFUL STORM ONE OF THE STRONGEST ON RECORD
IN THE BERING SEA. MOREOVER...ASCAT SATELLITE PASSES HAVE REMOTELY
MEASURED SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OVER OPEN WATERS IN EXCESS OF 80
KNOTS...VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR A NON-TROPICAL CYCLONE. SEAS HAVE BEEN
MEASURED BY BUOYS IN PARTS OF THE NORTH PACIFIC IN EXCESS OF 50
FEET. INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR CHANNELS OF BOTH POLAR ORBITING
AND GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE IMAGES DEPICT THE CLASSIC SIGNATURE OF
A "SCORPIONS TAIL" (AKA STING JET) WRAPPING INTO THE CENTER OF
THE LOW. THIS IMPRESSIVE MESOSCALE FEATURE...A REGION OF VERY
INTENSE LOCALIZED DOWNWARD AND OUTWARD MOVING WINDS...HAS BEEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH ON ADAK
ISLAND...MEASURED BY AUTOMATED WEATHER STATIONS.
ELSEWHERE...WIDESPREAD STORM TO HURRICANE FORCE WINDS HAVE BEEN
IMPACTING THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...SHEMYA...AND MOST OF THE
REMAINDER OF THE BERING EXCEPT THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WHERE THE
OCCLUDED FRONT IS STILL PROGRESSING. ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL...THE
WEATHER IS MUCH MILDER AS A WEAKENING TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
NORTHEAST PACIFIC...LEAVING WEAK OFFSHORE DRAINAGE FLOW AND
LARGELY DRY CONDITIONS. LOW STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG CAN BE SEEN IN
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND ON MULTISPECTRAL SATELLITE IMAGERY ACROSS
SOUTHCENTRAL...ESPECIALLY TOWARD COOK INLET INTO THE SUSITNA
VALLEY.
&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE SUITE OF NUMERICAL WEATHER MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT
WITH THE POWERFUL CYCLONE OVER THE BERING...AND WITH THE OVERALL
SYNOPTIC PATTERN HEADING INTO LATE WEEK BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO
DIVERGE WITH MORE IMPORTANT DETAILS OF THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. THERE
IS ALSO DISAGREEMENT WITH A COMPACT AND FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE
TROUGH FORMING AT THE BASE OF THE BERING CYCLONE...WHICH IS
PROGGED BY THE NAM AND ECMWF TO MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF
ALASKA AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND BY TUESDAY. THIS DISCREPANCY HAS
AN IMPACT FOR THE SOUTHCENTRAL FORECAST...AS WELL AS THE
POSSIBILITY OF GALE FORCE WINDS IN THE NORTHERN GULF. THE BIGGEST
IMPACT WOULD BE SNOW THREATS ALL ALONG THE COAST INTO PORTIONS OF
INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL. FOR NOW...WITH THE GFS BEING A LARGE
OUTLIER...AND WITH THE SENSITIVITY OF THE PATTERN TO SMALL MODEL
ERRORS...THIS FEATURE WILL BE HANDLED CONSERVATIVELY FOR NOW.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
HIGH CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MASSIVE BERING SEA STORM WILL
MOVE OVER THE AREA DURING THE DAY...WITH SNOW SHOWERS ASSOCIATED
WITH A WAVE MOVING ALONG THE OCCLUDED FRONT AFFECTING KODIAK
ISLAND AND THE KENAI PENINSULA. BY TONIGHT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
WILL BE COMMON OVER MUCH OF THE REGION. INCREASING WINDS THROUGH
EASTERN TURNAGAIN ARM AND PORTAGE VALLEY WILL COMBINE WITH SNOW TO
CREATE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. ALTHOUGH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
DIMINISH MON AND MON NIGHT...SNOW WILL CONTINUE. IT WILL CHANGE
TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OVER KODIAK ISLAND.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE FRONT ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST MOVES INLAND THIS MORNING
BRINGING WIDESPREAD SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS AS IT SWINGS NORTH. SNOW
AND WIND INTENSITY PEAK TODAY AND THEN TAPER OFF IN THE EARLY
EVENING. WINTER PRODUCTS REMAIN FOR THE COAST OF THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA AND BRISTOL BAY. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE ALONG
THE COAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS SNOW CHANGES OVER TO SHOWERS
WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. BRISTOL BAY WILL SEE WINTRY CONDITIONS
THROUGH EARLY EVENING AS A SECONDARY WAVE PUSHES INLAND BEHIND THE
MAIN FRONT. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR FREEZING ALONG COASTAL
LOCATIONS BY THIS AFTERNOON...HOWEVER PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN ALL SNOW WITH THE FLOW JUST OFF THE SURFACE REMAINING
SOUTHEASTERLY LIMITING THE WARMING INLAND. ALSO...THERE WILL BE A
BREAK BETWEEN BANDS OF PRECIPITATION WITH THE NEXT WAVE MOVING TO
THE COAST LATE EVENING. COLD AIR ADVECTION RETURNS LATE TONIGHT AS
THE BERING LOW LIFTS NORTH WITH SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUING ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS UPPER WAVES MOVES IN FROM THE
BERING.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING TRACKS NORTH OF THE
PRIBILOFS THIS EVENING. WINDS TAPER DOWN THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN BERING AND THEN ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING AS THE LOW
FILLS EARLY MONDAY MORNING. HOWEVER GUSTY WINDS CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT WITH AS THE ANOTHER SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS IN THE
CENTRAL BERING. COLD AIR ADVECTION MOVES RETURNS ACROSS THE
BERING WITH PRECIPITATION BECOMING ALL SNOW INTO TUESDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
AS THE BERING LOW WEAKENS AND PUSHES NORTH THROUGH TUESDAY THE
SHOWERY REGIME WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE NEXT SYSTEMS MOVE IN. THE
MORE EASTERLY SYSTEM APPROACHES THE WESTERN GULF SOMETIME TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE DISCREPANCY IN TIMING LIES WITH
THE DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE. THE GFS IS FASTER AND PUSHES THE
LOW INTO BRISTOL BAY WHILE THE EC AND GEM ARE SLOWER AND MOVE THE
LOW INTO THE WESTERN GULF. THERE IS HIGHER CONFIDENCE WITH THE
WESTERN GULF TRACK WHICH RESULTS IN HIGHER WINDS FOR THE GULF
WEDNESDAY. THE OTHER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE WESTERN BERING ON
THURSDAY WITH THE EC AND GEM BEING FASTER THAN THE SLOWER GFS. AN
ENSEMBLE MEAN SOLUTION WAS PREFERRED WITH THIS SYSTEM WHICH TAKES
A MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN THE DETERMINISTIC RUNS. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING STRONG WINDS THROUGHOUT THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
