SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
513 PM AKST TUE NOV 17 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE MAINLAND REMAINS LOCKED IN THE CLEAR AND COLD WEATHER
PATTERN...AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE BETTER PART OF A WEEK NOW.
A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR CAME THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL LAST
NIGHT...LEADING TO THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR SO FAR AT
MOST LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION...THE USUAL WINDY PLACES ALONG THE
COAST (WHITTIER...SEWARD...THOMPSON PASS) HAVE SEEN AN IMPRESSIVE
RESURGENCE OF "OUTFLOW" WINDS LAST NIGHT WITH ALREADY TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENTS BEING EXAGGERATED EVEN MORE BY A SURFACE LOW
SPINNING IN THE EASTERN GULF. ALL LOCATIONS HAVE STAYED SAFELY
UNDER WARNING LEVEL...AND WILL START TO TREND DOWN AS THE
AFTERNOON PROGRESSES.

OUT WEST..AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS STALLED JUST OFFSHORE OF THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...WITH CLOUDS AND SOME LIGHT SNOW FALLING ALONG
THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. ONLY MINOR ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF PATTERN-CHANGING STORMS HAS COME OFF THE
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND IS ENTERING THE FAR NORTHWEST BERING. AN
ASSOCIATED WEAK FRONT HAS RACED AHEAD OF THIS LOW AND IS ALREADY
BRINGING RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. DURING THE
NEXT 24 HOURS THIS LOW WILL FOLLOW A SOMEWHAT HIGH-LATITUDE TRACK
ACROSS THE BERING SEA...SPURRED ONWARD BY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT ACROSS
THE REGION.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

WHEN SHORTWAVES ARE WEAK...THEY ARE ABLE TO MOVE THROUGH THE
PATTERN MORE QUICKLY WHICH CAUSES THE MODELS TO OFTEN STRUGGLE...BUT
FORTUNATELY THEY USUALLY DON'T PACK AS STRONG OF A PUNCH. ON THE
OTHER HAND...STRONG STORMS/SHORTWAVES PACK A STRONGER PUNCH BUT
USUALLY MOVE MORE SLOWLY...SO ATMOSPHERIC MODELS TEND TO PERFORM A
BIT BETTER. IN THE CASE OF MAINLAND ALASKA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS...A SERIES OF WEAK- TO- MODERATE AMPLITUDE WAVES WILL TRACK
ACROSS THE BERING AND MOVE INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE NEAR THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THESE WAVES WILL BE POTENT ENOUGH TO HAVE SOME
FAIRLY IMPORTANT IMPACTS...BUT LOW-ENOUGH AMPLITUDE THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO BE MOVING PRETTY QUICKLY...WHICH WREAKS HAVOC ON MODEL
TIMING AND PLACEMENT.

THE FIRST WAVE TO IMPACT THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND IS THE ONE
CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE NORTHWEST BERING SEA. MODELS ARE FAIRLY
CONSISTENT ON THE TRACK...BUT STRUGGLING WITH EXACTLY HOW
AMPLIFIED THE WAVE WILL BE AS IT TRACKS THROUGH THE MAINLAND. MOST
OF THE DYNAMIC LIFT NOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL GO NORTH OF
ANCHORAGE...CLIPPING THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND INTERIOR ALASKA. THE
NAM IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE BRINGING DYNAMIC ENERGY FURTHER
SOUTH...BUT WE ARE NOT BELIEVING THIS SOLUTION FULLY. THE NET
EFFECT WILL BE SOME MODEST SNOW ACCUMULATION FOR MOST AREAS BUT
NOTHING REACHING ADVISORY LEVEL. THE SECOND STORM FOLLOWS
GENERALLY ALONG THE SAME PATH...EXCEPT 24 HOURS LATER AND ALSO A
FAIR AMOUNT STRONGER. A STRONGER SOLUTION MEANS STRONGER
ATMOSPHERIC LIFT...BUT ALSO MORE WARM AIR PULLED NORTHWARD INTO
THE STORM. PRECIP TYPE OVER THE NORTHERN KENAI AND ANCHORAGE BOWL
ARE STILL PROBLEMATIC...BUT THE MOST LIKELY SOLUTION IS SNOW
MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GEM/ECMWF HAVE
BEEN THE MOST CONSISTENT...AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE RELIED UPON FOR
THE AFTERNOON FORECASTS.

&&

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

ONE MORE COLD NIGHT OVER SOUTHCENTRAL BENEATH LINGERING HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE FOLLOWED ON WED WITH INCREASING CLOUDS. A WEAK
FRONT WITH LIGHT AMOUNTS OF SNOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION
WED AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ON THURSDAY STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW
AHEAD OF THE BERING FRONT WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW
TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY...WHERE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR HEAVY SNOW
WILL BE IN EFFECT. LESSER AMOUNTS WILL AFFECT THE REST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION...THE HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL WILL MIGRATE EAST LATER ON THURSDAY...MIXING WITH RAIN
ALONG THE COAST.

&&

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

A VERY ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL DEVELOP BEGINNING
TONIGHT AS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF LOWS MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST
ALASKA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
WILL BEGIN SPREADING SNOW ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY COAST AND
KUSKOKWIM DELTA THIS EVENING...BEFORE SPREADING EAST INTO THE
LOWER KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND INTERIOR BRISTOL BAY ON WEDNESDAY.
ACROSS THE NORTHER PORTION OF THE KUSKOKWIM COAST...EASTERLY
WINDS AND HEAVIER SNOWFALL EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON WILL RESULT IN RAPIDLY DETERIORATING CONDITIONS WITH LOW
VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. VISIBILITY WILL DROP TO A
HALF MILE AT TIMES WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW BEFORE THE FRONT
MOVES EAST IN THE AFTERNOON.

INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS AND ONSHORE FLOW WILL HELP CHANGE SOME
COASTAL AREAS OVER TO RAIN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY EVENING AS
WARMER MARINE AIR MOVES IN. A MUCH STRONGER FRONT MOVES IN
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...SPREADING RAIN INTO MOST OF BRISTOL
BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA...WITH SNOW ACROSS THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM
VALLEY. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THIS SECOND FRONT WILL COINCIDE
WITH A HIGH TIDE CYCLE...WITH THE THREAT FOR SOME MINOR COASTAL
EROSION FROM THE NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY COAST TO THE KUSKOKWIM BAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

A WEAK LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN BERING WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHWEST
COAST TONIGHT BEFORE A MUCH STRONGER STORM FORCE LOW DEVELOPS
OVER THE WESTERN BERING TONIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL MOVE
EAST THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH THE STRONGEST CORE OF STORM FORCE
WINDS OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING/ALEUTIANS...ALTHOUGH
STRONG SOUTHERLY GALES WILL CROSS INTO THE EASTERN BERING. A
SWATCH OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL IMPACT MOST LOCATIONS AS
THIS FRONT MOVES EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
ENTERING INTO THE MID-TERM...THE PATTERN OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC
BECOMES VERY PROGRESSIVE WITH MULTIPLE ROBUST LOWS MOVING THROUGH
THE FORECAST AREA.

AT THE START OF THE MID-TERM ON THURSDAY EVENING...THE FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW NEAR ST LAWRENCE ISLAND WILL BE PUSHING
INLAND OVER SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA AND RAPIDLY MOVING INTO INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA OVERNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
SYNOPTICALLY...MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH
PRECIPITATION TYPE AND AMOUNTS WITH THIS SYSTEM. MOSTLY SNOW IS
EXPECTED OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX ALONG
THE BRISTOL BAY COAST. OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...PRECIPITATION
SHOULD REMAIN AS ALL SNOW OVER MOST OF THE INTERIOR AREAS WITH A
RAIN/SNOW MIX ALONG COASTAL AREAS. SNOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
SUSITNA VALLEY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON ON FRIDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF
FRIDAY EVENING. FOR THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...MODEL GUIDANCE IS
SUGGESTING STRONG WINDS ALONG TURNAGAIN ARM THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY WITH A FAIR AMOUNT OF DOWNSLOPING OF PRECIPITATION INTO
THE ANCHORAGE AREA. WITH THAT BEING SAID...ANCHORAGE SHOULD STILL
SEE ACCUMULATING SNOW. THE HIGHEST SNOW TOTALS WITH THIS SYSTEM
ARE EXPECTED IN THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND ALONG THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.

BEHIND THIS LOW...THE NEXT SYSTEM EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE REGION
WILL BE DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC SOUTH OF THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS ON FRIDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE HAVING A VERY
DIFFICULT TIME RESOLVING THIS FEATURE IN BOTH STRENGTH AND
LOCATION. THE 12Z GFS AND GEM RUNS DEVELOPED A 965MB LOW OVER THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS THAT MOVES RAPIDLY EASTWARD INTO MAINLAND
ALASKA. THE 12Z NAM AND EC DEVELOPED A WEAKER 990 MB LOW SOUTH OF
THE ALASKA PENINSULA THAT WOULD DEEPEN TO 980MB OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF BY SATURDAY NIGHT. 18Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND NAM HAVE
NOW SWUNG FROM THOSE SOLUTIONS AS WELL WITH THE NAM PLACING A
975MB LOW IN THE BERING AND THE GFS TRENDING MORE TOWARDS THE EC.
NEEDLESS TO SAY...THIS CREATES LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST AT
THIS POINT. AFTER COORDINATION WITH WPC...DECIDED TO NUDGE TO THE
EC SOLUTION WITH SOME GFS OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA ON DAY 3.

WHILE THE MODELS ARE HAVING A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY WITH THE
FRIDAY SYSTEM...THEY ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON BRINGING A
970-975MB LOW INTO THE WESTERN BERING LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. WPC GUIDANCE CAPTURED THIS FEATURE WELL...THUS WAS USED
HEAVILY FOR DAYS 4-7.
