Area forecast discussion, Dec 30, 5:48 AM AKST, 9 hours 2 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
548 AM AKST WED DEC 30 2015
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE OVERALL ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY...WITH A
NEGATIVELY TILTED LONGWAVE TROUGH COVERING MUCH OF THE BERING
SEA/NORTH PACIFIC UPSTREAM OF AN AMPLIFYING BLOCKING RIDGE OVER
THE EASTERN PACIFIC AND GULF OF ALASKA. MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LONGWAVE TROUGH CONTINUE TO BRING ACTIVE
WEATHER TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND AND FAR EASTERN ALEUTIANS
OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE MORNING. THE NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE
SOUTHERN MAINLAND IS A STORM FORCE LOW CROSSING THE AKPEN AND
ENTERING THE FAR EASTERN BERING THIS MORNING...WITH AN ASSOCIATED
STRONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF AND
MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. MULTIPLE OBSERVATION STATIONS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND HAVE REPORTED VERY GUSTY WINDS DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE STRONG FRONTAL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PUSH
FURTHER NORTHWARD...INCLUDING STRONG GAP WINDS ALONG THE AKPEN AND
AROUND THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. STRONG
ONSHORE SOUTHERLY AND SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN
AND INTERIOR MAINLAND IS ADVECTING WARMER...MOISTER AIR NORTHWARD.
THIS CONTINUES TO BE VISIBLE ON THE WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY
AS A LARGE SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PLUME IS STRETCHING OVER THE
MAJORITY OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK
STRETCHING NORTHWARD FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC THROUGH THE GULF OF
ALASKA AND INTO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND IS AIDING THIS RAPID
TRANSPORT OF MOISTURE NORTHWARD. THE NET RESULT OF THE UPPER AND
LOWER LEVEL STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW IS SEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE.
&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE MAIN SYNOPTIC
FEATURES ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...THEN START
TO DIVERGE WITH REGARDS TO A SECOND SYSTEM DEVELOPING AT THE BASE
OF THE TROUGH OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. MODELS HAVE DONE QUITE WELL
WITH THE INITIAL STRONG SYSTEM CROSSING THE AKPEN AND TRACKING
INTO THE FAR EASTERN BERING THIS MORNING...AND REACHING PEAK
INTENSITY NEAR CAPE NEWENHAM LATE THIS MORNING. MODELS ARE ALSO IN
FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE
ASSOCIATED FRONT STRETCHING ACROSS SOUTHERN MAINLAND AND INTO
NORTHERN GULF COAST THIS MORNING...AS WELL AS BRINGING VERY
STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
TODAY DIRECTLY BEHIND THE INITIAL FRONT. THE ECMWF SOLUTION WAS
MOSTLY UTILIZED FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE ALONG WITH SOME GFS WITH
THE INITIAL LOW TRACKING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST. HOWEVER WITH
THE SECOND LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC THURSDAY...THE
00Z GFS BECAME AN OUTLIER SPLITTING THE LOW INTO TWO AND
EVENTUALLY CONSOLIDATING INTO A SINGLE SYSTEM THAT IS SLOWER THAN
THE EC AND NAM SOLUTION BY FRIDAY MORNING. AS THE 06Z GFS CAME IN
THIS MORNING...IT HAS TRENDED HEAVILY TOWARD THE NAM AND EC
SOLUTION WHICH SHOWS A SINGLE LOW TRACKING JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK
ISLAND BY FRIDAY MORNING. GIVEN THIS TREND...THE EC/NAM WERE THE
THE PREFERRED SOLUTION FOR THIS SYSTEM.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A MAJOR STORM SYSTEM IS IMPACTING THE REGION MUCH AS EXPECTED...WITH
THE MAIN IMPACT BEING WIDESPREAD STRONG WINDS. BASED ON SLIGHTLY
FASTER PROGRESSION OF THE SURFACE OCCLUDED FRONT ACROSS THE GULF
AND SOUTHCENTRAL HAVE ENDED THE HIGH WIND WARNINGS A BIT EARLIER.
WITH THE FRONT CROSSING THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA THIS MORNING
WINDS ARE RATCHETING UP THROUGH WESTERN TURNAGAIN ARM AND
ANCHORAGE... WITH THE LEE SIDE TROUGH PUSHING WEST OF ANCHORAGE
AND CHINOOK WINDS STARTING TO MAKE THERE WAY DOWN TO LOWER
ELEVATIONS. EXPECT THE WINDS TO PEAK FROM ANCHORAGE UP TO THE MAT
VALLEY BETWEEN ABOUT 6AM AND 9AM THEN QUICKLY DIMINISH AS THE
FRONT PASSES THROUGH AT ABOUT THAT TIME. AS THE TURNAGAIN WIND
BEGINS TO WEAKEN BEHIND THE FRONT IT WILL THEN BEND INTO
ANCHORAGE...BUT THE FORECAST PRESSURE GRADIENTS ONLY SUPPORT A
WEAK BENDING OF THE WINDS WHICH WILL KEEP MAGNITUDES AT LOWER
LEVELS THAN WHAT WILL BE OBSERVED EARLY THIS MORNING. THE FRONT
WILL ELONGATE OVER EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE NORTHEAST
GULF COAST...NEVER REALLY PUSHING ONSHORE. THUS...STRONGER WINDS
WILL LINGER A LITTLE LONGER IN THIS AREA.
AS FAR AS PRECIP...WITH WIDESPREAD WINDS HELPING TO MIX WARMER AIR
DOWN TO THE SURFACE PRECIP WILL FALL MAINLY AS RAIN ACROSS THE
REGION. THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION WILL BE THOMPSON PASS WHERE HEAVY
SNOW AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
PRECIP WILL ALSO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE COPPER BASIN TODAY AND
TONIGHT. AS THE FRONT STALLS THE FIRE HOSE OF MOISTURE FROM THE
PACIFIC WILL BE POINTED RIGHT FOR EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. THIS WILL ACTUALLY WORK BACK WESTWARD
TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...SPREADING PRECIP ACROSS ALL OF THE COPPER
BASIN AND WESTWARD INTO PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. WITH WARMER AIR
ALOFT STREAMING INTO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN EXPECT A MIXED BAG OF
SNOW...FREEZING RAIN...AND RAIN. THE SOUTHERN BASIN SHOULD WARM
ENOUGH TO CHANGE TO PLAIN RAIN...BUT NORTHERN AREAS WILL SEE MORE
SNOW AND A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF FREEZING RAIN. THEREFORE...ISSUED
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR AREAS NORTH OF GLENNALLEN.
WITH AN ACTIVE JET OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC ANOTHER LOW WILL FORM
AND TAKE A SIMILAR TRACK SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND TONIGHT...BUT
THIS WILL BE A MUCH SMALLER AND WEAKER SYSTEM THAN WHAT IS MOVING
THROUGH TODAY. STILL...AS ALL OF THIS LIFTS NORTHWARD THURSDAY
AREAS OF STRONG WIND AND PRECIP WILL MAKE ITS WAY BACK TO
SOUTHCENTRAL. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH TODAY...BUT QUICKLY
FALLS TO LOW OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS WITH SUCH AN ACTIVE
PATTERN.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE CURRENT WATCHES/WARNINGS
OVERNIGHT WERE TO ADD THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TO THE LIST OF HIGH WIND
WARNINGS (FOR LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON TODAY)...AND
TO EXTEND THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FROM THE BRISTOL BAY COAST NORTH
AND WEST TO THE KUSKOKWIM BAY COAST...WHERE SURGE GUIDANCE DEPICTS
A SURGE OF ABOUT 6 FEET ABOVE HIGHEST ASTRONOMICAL TIDE. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THERE IS GREAT UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE EXTENT
THAT EXISTING SEA ICE NEAR THE COAST WILL IMPEDE ANY POTENTIAL
SURGE OF WATER TO THE COASTLINE OF KUSKOKWIM BAY.
WITH THE LOW CURRENTLY CROSSING THE CENTRAL ALASKA PENINSULA INTO
THE SOUTHEASTERN BERING AND OUTER BRISTOL BAY...THE EAST GAP WINDS
OVER THE BRISTOL BAY REGION WILL TURN SOUTHERLY LATER THIS
MORNING. MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GREAT AGREEMENT ON HIGH WINDS
IMPACTING THE NORTH BRISTOL BAY COAST FROM NEAR ETOLIN POINT WEST
TO CAPE NEWENHAM...THEN EXTENDING NORTH ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM BAY
COAST...AND THEN EXTENDING INLAND TO INCLUDE LOCATIONS SUCH AS
DILLINGHAM...TOGIAK...AND BETHEL TODAY.
A POST-FRONTAL LOW MOVES QUICKLY NORTH BEHIND THIS LOW AND INTO
BRISTOL BAY THIS EVENING...AND MAY BRING A QUICK BURST OF SNOW AND
RAIN AS IT MOVES QUICKLY NORTH THROUGH THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY LATE
TONIGHT.
YET ANOTHER STRONG LOW APPROACHES THE ALASKA PENINSULA FROM THE
NORTH PACIFIC LATE THURSDAY AND WILL BRING ANOTHER THREAT FOR
STRONG WINDS TO PARTS OF BRISTOL BAY TOWARD FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE
WEAKENING.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THIS REGION WILL PERSIST IN AN AREA OF BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WITH
INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE WESTERN BERING...AND
SYSTEMS MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING. WINDS WILL
GENERALLY REMAIN ON THE LIGHTER SIDE...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE
ALEUTIANS AND CENTRAL BERING SEA. THE NEXT LARGER LOW WILL
APPROACH THE ALASKA PENINSULA FROM THE SOUTH THURSDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL CONTINUE WITH AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN
AS THE UPPER LOW OVER THE BERING SENDS CONTINUOUS SHORTWAVES FROM
THE PACIFIC TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST BREAKS DOWN AND SHIFTS FURTHER EAST ON FRIDAY WHICH ALLOWS
A SURFACE LOW TO TRACK NORTH INTO THE WESTERN GULF FRIDAY NIGHT
BEFORE LIFTING ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ON SATURDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE FRONT AND WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS THE
GULF AND SURROUNDING COAST. A SURGE OF WARM AIR PUSHES INLAND
ACCOMPANIED BY SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. RIDGING BUILDS
BACK INTO THE SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY AS THE NEXT PACIFIC WAVE ROUNDS
THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH. THIS SENDS THE NEXT ORGANIZED
SYSTEM TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA ON MONDAY WHICH PULLS ANOTHER
WARM AND MOIST PACIFIC AIR MASS INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN MAINLAND AS
IT TRACKS TO THE EASTERN BERING.
