SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
443 PM AKDT MON MAY 11 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE IS MOVING EAST THROUGH THE GULF BUT IS BEING
HELD UP BY STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER NORTHWESTERN CANADA. AS THE
LOW SPINS IN THE GULF IT IS BRINGING SHOWERS TO THE NORTH GULF
COAST. UPPER LEVELING TROUGHING EXTENDING THROUGH MAINLAND ALASKA
DOWN INTO THE GULF IS CAUSING ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR SHOWERS TO
DEVELOP IN THE SOUTHCENTRAL. OUT WEST A WEAKENING LOW AND FRONT
ARE MOVING THROUGH THE BERING WITH THE FRONT RAPIDLY DIMINISHING
AS IT TRIES TO BRING RAIN TO THE COAST OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA. SOUTH
OF SHEMYA A STRONGER LOW IS MAKING ITS WAY TOWARDS THE ALEUTIANS
AND IS BRINGING MORE RAIN AND WINDS WITH IT.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM. IN THE MID
TERM PROBLEMS ARISE WITH THE MULTIPLE LOWS IN AND AROUND THE
BERING. FOR THE MOST PART THEY ARE CLOSE WITH THE MAIN BERING LOW
THAT TRACKS NORTH ON WEDNESDAY. BUT THERE ARE SOME ISSUES WITH
ANOTHER LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS. THE EC AND NAM ARE THE FASTER
SOLUTIONS WITH THE GFS AND GEM BEHIND. THEN ALL MODELS BRING THE
LOW INTO THE BRISTOL BAY AREA WITH THE GFS CATCHING UP TO THE NAM
AND EC WHILE THE GEM STAYS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC LONGER. THE EC AND
NAM SHOW BETTER CONSISTENCY THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND WERE THE
PREFERRED SOLUTIONS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM ARCING ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL GRADUALLY
WEAKEN AND SHEAR APART AS THE PARENT LOW WELL TO THE SOUTH
CONTINUES EAST AND FILLS. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON BOTH THE SURFACE
LOW AND REMNANTS OF THE FRONT WILL BE PRETTY MUCH DISSIPATED WITH
A SURFACE RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE WESTERN GULF. THE SURFACE RIDGE
AND A STRENGTHENING RIDGE ALOFT WILL SHIFT TO THE CENTRAL GULF BY
WEDNESDAY WITH FRONTAL SYSTEM COMING IN FROM THE WEST MAKING IT TO
AROUND KODIAK ISLAND BEFORE STALLING OUT. FOR THE REMAINDER OF
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THE GENERAL TREND WILL BE WARMING AND DRYING.

ONE POTENTIAL CONCERN WILL BE FIRE WEATHER FOR INLAND AREAS SUCH
AS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH THE
SURFACE RIDGE IN THE GULF OF ALASKA STRENGTHENING GAP WINDS
THROUGH THE COPPER RIVER VALLEY...KNIK RIVER VALLEY AND TURNAGAIN
ARM WILL INCREASE AGAIN SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE AFTERNOONS AND
EVENINGS STARTING ON WEDNESDAY WHILE MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
IN INLAND AREAS WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE MID 20 PERCENT RANGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE MAINLAND IS CURRENTLY BEING SQUEEZED BETWEEN A COUPLE OF
LOW PRESSURE CENTERS ALOFT. THIS IS CREATING A DEFORMATION ZONE
OVER THE GREATER BRISTOL BAY REGION WHICH IS ACTING TO ENHANCE THE
SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THAT REGION. THE OTHER SHOWERY REGION OVER
THE INTERIOR KUSKOKWIM DELTA IS ALONG A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
A NORTHERN BERING SEA TROUGH. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD WANE IN
THE EVENING. BRIEF CLEARING WILL SHOW UP TOMORROW WITH SOME
AFTERNOON SHOWER ACTIVITY ALONG THE MOUNTAINS IN THE LOWER
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY A WARM FRONT
WILL SPREAD OVER THE MAINLAND FROM THE BERING SEA...HITTING MOST
AREAS WITH A GOOD PERIOD OF RAIN WHICH WILL USHER IN A MORE ACTIVE
PATTERN IN THE AREA.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A GALE FORCE FRONT WILL SPREAD RAIN OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA
TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. A SHOWERY PATTERN WILL REMAIN INTO
WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL DISTURBANCES ROTATE AROUND THE LARGE SCALE
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
AND GULF FROM THE WEST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUE TO
AMPLIFY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. AS A
RESULT...GUSTY GAP WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AND PARTS
OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL INTERIOR ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AND
PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND. RAINY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO TRACK INTO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND WESTERN GULF
WEDNESDAY...AS A WEAKENING FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW
OVER THE BERING TRACKS THROUGH THE AREA. A SECONDARY FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPING LOW SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
THURSDAY WILL QUICKLY CATCH UP TO THE WEAKENING FRONT AHEAD OF IT.
THIS WILL ACT TO REINFORCE THE INITIAL FRONT OVER THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND AND WESTERN PORTION OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...KEEPING THE
RAINY AND WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. MODELS ARE SHOWING THIS SYSTEM TRACKING NORTH WHILE
DISSIPATING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BY THE WEEKEND...BRINGING A
BRIEF BREAK TO THE RAINY AND WINDY CONDITIONS. MODELS ARE ALSO
SHOWING ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
THURSDAY NIGHT AND TRACKING INTO THE CENTRAL BERING BY SATURDAY.
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK
THROUGH THE CENTRAL/EASTERN ALEUTIANS THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...BEFORE PUSHING INTO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND SATURDAY
NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAINY AND WINDY
WEATHER BACK TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER THERE ARE
STILL SOME TIMING AND STRENGTH DISCREPANCIES IN THE MODELS
REGARDING THIS SYSTEM...KEEPING FORECAST CONFIDENCE SLIGHTLY BELOW
AVERAGE.
