SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
538 AM AKST MON DEC 28 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
ALOFT THERE IS AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE BUILDING OVER THE EASTERN GULF
EXTENDING TO THE NORTHWEST THROUGH SOUTHERN ALASKA. WHILE
UPSTREAM THERE IS A NEGATIVELY TILTED LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN BERING THAT EXTENDS THROUGH THE LOWER ALASKA PENINSULA
INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. THIS FEATURE IS REFLECTED AT THE
SURFACE WITH A CLOSED TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMING OVER THE EASTERN
BERING SEA. FURTHER UPSTREAM A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS LOCATED
JUST SOUTH OF ADAK THIS MORNING. THERE IS A VERY STRONG 195 KNOT
NORTHWESTERLY JET STREAM TRACKING OFF THE EASTERN ASIA REGION
DIGGING INTO THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH LOCATED SOUTH OF THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THE JET STREAM TRANSITIONS INTO A MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY TO SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO THE GULF. THIS IS BRINGING
WARMER TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC INTO THE
SOUTHCENTRAL AND NORTHERN GULF AREAS. THIS CAN BE SEEN WITH
TEMPERATURES ALREADY IN THE 40S FOR THE KENAI PENINSULA. THESE
SYNOPTIC FEATURES ARE CREATING STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENTS THROUGH
THE ALASKA RANGE AND GUSTY CROSS BARRIER FLOW THROUGH THE SOUTH
MAINLAND REGION. THE SCATTEROMETER WIND IMAGERY IS SHOWING 40 TO
50 KNOT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE BARREN ISLANDS AREA.
WHILE THE RADAR IMAGERY IS SHOWING WIDESPREAD RAIN OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF AND THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES....THE UPPER WESTERN
KENAI PENINSULA AND THE ANCHORAGE BOWL ARE SHOWING DRIER
DOWNSLOPING CONDITIONS.

THE BERING SEA AT THE SURFACE HAS A OCCLUDED LOW JUST WEST OF
ADAK THIS MORNING WITH AN ASSOCIATED OCCLUDED FRONT EXTENDING
THROUGH THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN BERING SEA. THE STRONGEST WINDS
ARE ON THE PACIFIC SIDE WITH SOUTHEASTERLY GALE FORCE WINDS ON
THE FRONT SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM EXTENDING THROUGH THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THE REST OF THE BERING SEA HAS GALE FORCE NORTHERLY
FLOW WITH A SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME. THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES ALONG
THE CHAIN ARE IN THE MID 30S DEGREES AND BECOME COOLER AS YOU HEAD
FARTHER NORTH INTO THE BERING. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE IN THE
NORTHERN BERING SEA. THE SCATTEROMETER WINDS IMAGERY SHOWED GALE
FORCE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW FOR THE NORTHERN BERING SEA THIS MORNING.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE WEAK TRIPLE POINT LOW
FORMING JUST SOUTHWEST OF KODIAK ISLAND AND THE WEATHER FRONT
EXTENDING SOUTH INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC THIS MORNING. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION WAS THE NAM BEING A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THIS FRONTAL
SYSTEM AS IT TRACKS TO THE NORTHERN GULF THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL
THERE WAS LITTLE MODEL CHANGE EXCEPT FOR SLOWING THE FRONT AS IT
TRACKS INTO THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION. THE MODELS DID STRUGGLE WITH
MOVING THE WARMER TEMPERATURES OVER THE BRISTOL BAY INTERIOR A
LITTLE TO QUICKLY THIS MORNING. DILLINGHAM IS STILL REPORTING
TEMPERATURES AT 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT AND TO THE EAST...THE
TEMPERATURES ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE ARE IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S
DEGREE RANGE. WHILE OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AN OCCLUDED LOW
WILL TRACK TO THE CENTRAL BERING BY WEDNESDAY BUT OVER THE CENTRAL
BERING THE MODELS HAVE A WEAK LOW BECOMING SOME WHAT STATIONARY
BEFORE IT DISSIPATES BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. DURING THIS SAME
TIME FRAME A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL BE
TRACKING JUST SOUTH OF CHIRIKOF ISLAND. THIS WILL INCREASE THE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS. LOOK FOR THE SAME SCENARIO WITH STRONG GUSTY
GAP WINDS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE...BARREN ISLANDS...TURNAGAIN
ARM AND PORTAGE REGION BY MIDWEEK. THE GFS/EC WERE IN DECENT
AGREEMENT WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT THE NAM WAS QUICKER AND PUSHED THIS
SYSTEM FARTHER NORTH. THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE SHORT TERM IS
ABOVE AVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE FORECAST IS GENERALLY ON TRACK WITH A VERY STRONG NEGATIVELY
TILTED UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE OCCLUDED FRONT CROSSING THE GULF
AND SOUTHCENTRAL TODAY. THE TIMING DOES LOOK A FEW HOURS SLOWER
THAN IT DID YESTERDAY...SO THIS DOES DELAY ARRIVAL OF STRONGEST
WINDS ALONG MUCH OF THE GULF COAST AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND UNTIL
MID TO LATE MORNING. WITH SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT IT WILL
TAKE LONGER FOR WARMER AIR TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO VALDEZ...SO HAVE
UPPED SNOW AMOUNTS IN TOWN WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY WET SNOW EXPECTED
THIS MORNING BEFORE MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO RAIN THIS AFTERNOON.
HAVE ALSO MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR
THE SUSITNA VALLEY. AS FRONT MOVES INLAND LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL
SHIFT FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN PERSIST
THROUGH TONIGHT. THUS THE AREA OF HEAVIEST SNOW WILL SHIFT FROM
WEST OF THE PARKS HIGHWAY TO AREAS NORTH OF TALKEETNA UP THROUGH
BROAD PASS. EXPANDED ADVISORY TO INCLUDE THIS AREA AND EXTENDED
ADVISORY THROUGH TONIGHT AS A SECONDARY UPPER LEVEL SHORT-WAVE
WILL KEEP THE SNOWFALL GOING. ACCORDINGLY...ALSO UPPED STORM TOTAL
ACCUMULATION.

AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD IN BEHIND THE SECOND SHORT-WAVE ON
TUESDAY PROVIDING A BREAK IN THE SEVERE WEATHER...THOUGH SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY TIGHT KEEPING MORE LOCALIZED
GAP WINDS BLOWING. MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND TOWARD ANOTHER VERY
STRONG FRONT CROSSING THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.
IMPACTS WILL LIKELY BE SIMILAR TO WHAT IS EXPECTED TODAY...THOUGH
WITH A DEEP LOW TRACKING ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA THE WINDS COULD
BE EVEN STRONGER. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE DEPTH
AND TRACK OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM. HAVE TRENDED STRONGER WITH WINDS
AND HIGHER WITH POPS...BUT THE DETAILS (AND DECISIONS ON WARNINGS
OR ADVISORIES) WILL HAVE TO BE DELAYED UNTIL THIS FIRST EVENT IS
OVER AND WHEN MODELS HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE NEXT SYSTEM.

&&

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

THE EXTREMELY ACTIVE AND ENERGETIC JET STREAM MOVING SOUTH TO
NORTH ACROSS THE REGION WILL MEAN DYNAMIC WEATHER. THE SYSTEM NOW
IMPACTING SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL MOVE INLAND DURING THE DAY
TODAY. SNOW AND RAIN WILL BECOME SHOWERY IN NATURE FROM SOUTH TO
NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT...AND THE BROAD PUSH OF ONSHORE FLOW WILL
WARM MOST AREAS WELL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S WITH PREDOMINANT
P-TYPE BEING RAIN WITH THE SHOWERS. ANOTHER STRONG DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND BRING ANOTHER
PUSH OF PRECIPITATION...WITH MAINLY SNOW NORTH AND WEST OF A
DILLINGHAM TO SLEETMUTE LINE...WITH THE P-TYPE ALL RAIN TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST OF THIS LINE WITH WARM ADVECTION OFF OF THE PACIFIC
AND COMPRESSIONAL WARMING ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN AND ALASKA RANGES.

BY LATE TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENS
RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC AND INTO SOUTHWEST
ALASKA. THE GFS IS BY THE FAR THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WITH THE
STRENGTH OF THIS LOW AND WOULD PACK QUITE THE PUNCH WITH RESPECT
TO STRONG TO HIGH WINDS AND SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION...MUCH OF IT
RAIN EXCEPT ALONG PARTS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST WHERE SNOW
WOULD BE MAINLY EXPECTED. THIS SYSTEM WILL BEAR CLOSE WATCHING AS
THIS EVENT NEARS.

&&

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

A STRONG LOW ABOUT 100 NM SOUTHWEST OF ADAK WILL BRING STRONG
GALE-FORCE WINDS WITH STORM-FORCE GUSTS TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS
TODAY AND THEN THE EASTERN BERING...EASTERN ALEUTIANS...AND
ALASKA PENINSULA TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. AS THE LOW BROADENS AND
WEAKENS OVER THE CENTRAL BERING TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...COLDER
AIR MOVING WEST ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS WILL ALLOW FOR RAIN SHOWERS
TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS BY MID-WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
WEDNESDAY BEGINS WITH ANOTHER POTENT NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM
APPROACHING THE MAINLAND. THIS ONE WILL CROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA
INTO BRISTOL BAY WHILE SENDING A VIGOROUS FRONT AGAINST THE NORTH
GULF COAST. THE FRONT WILL EASILY BE STORM FORCE WITH AN OUTSIDE
CHANCE OF HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS. ALONG WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF
TURNAGAIN ARM WINDS...THE PARTICULAR LOW TRACK INTO THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR SOME OF THE HIGHER ELEVATION WINDS TO
COME DOWN INTO THE ANCHORAGE BOWL ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. YET
ANOTHER CONTINUATION OF WARM AIR SURGING NORTHWARD AT THE SURFACE
WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION TYPE ALL RAIN AND TEMPERATURES IN THE
UPPER 30S TO LOW 40S IN MOST AREAS.

FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK AND BEYOND...THE ACTIVE SOUTHERLY
FLOW CONTINUES WITH A NUMBER OF DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN THE FLOW
MARCHING TOWARD SOUTHERN ALASKA. THESE DISTURBANCES ARE COMING OFF
A STOUT EAST ASIAN JET THAT EXTENDS WELL INTO THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC. WHILE THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS EASILY SEEN...THE HIGH
AMPLITUDE OF THE FLOW AS THE DISTURBANCES APPROACH ALASKA IS NEVER
REALLY HANDLED WELL BY GUIDANCE. HOWEVER WE CAN EXPECT A
CONTINUATION OF WARMER TEMPERATURES AND BOUTS OF RAIN AND WIND FOR
THE NEXT WEEK.
