SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
551 AM AKST MON NOV 23 2015

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A POWERFUL SYSTEM OVER THE BERING IS CONTINUING ITS TRACK TO THE
NORTHEAST WITH ITS FRONT DRAPING ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THERE IS
A STRONG WARM PUSH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM THAT IS CHANGING
OVER THE SNOW TO RAIN AS THE FRONT MOVES FURTHER INLAND. AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND RIDGING SITS WHICH HAS
CLEARED OUT MUCH OF THE MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER BUT HAS TRAPPED SOME
STRATUS DECKS UNDER THE INVERSION.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEM AREAS WITH THE MODELS MOVING OUT INTO
THE MID TERM. THE FIRST IS WITH THE FRONT MOVING INLAND OVER THE
SOUTHWEST. AS IT CONTINUES ITS TRACK TOWARD THE SOUTHCENTRAL
THERE IS DISAGREEMENT AS TO HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM AIR WILL PUSH
IN AND HOW FAST IT WILL DO SO. THE GEM AND GFS ARE THE WARMEST
WITH THE NAM STAYING COLDER. THESE DIFFERENCES LOWER CONFIDENCE IN
WHEN EXACTLY THE TRANSITION WILL HAPPEN FOR SOUTHCENTRAL AREAS.
THE OTHER DISAGREEMENTS RELATE TO TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHING LOWS.
ONE IS MOVING TOWARD THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TUESDAY WITH THE NAM
AND GFS FAST THAN THE GEM AND EC. THE OTHER IS MOVING TOWARD THE
ALASKA PENINSULA FROM THE SOUTH LATER ON TUESDAY WITH THE GEM
LAGGING BEHIND THE OTHERS. FOR BOTH LOWS THE EC HAS BEEN MORE
CONSISTENT AND IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE IN THE MID TERM.

&&

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

A SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CHANGE IS IN STORE FOR THE SOUTHCENTRAL OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. A POTENT FRONT CURRENTLY DRAPED ACROSS BRISTOL
BAY WILL USHER IN MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL BY
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...BRINGING MANY LOCATIONS TO ABOVE FREEZING
FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON HIGHS. THE SYSTEM IS ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A
SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE SUPPLY. RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE LIMITED ACROSS
THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...THE MATANUSKA VALLEY AND WESTERN KENAI DUE TO
DOWNSLOPING...AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH LOCAL GAPS.
MEANWHILE...SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF SUSITNA VALLEY
BEGINNING MONDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY RISE
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH BEGINNING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. AS A
RESULT...HEAVIEST AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TOWARDS THE PARK.

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS REMAINS THE
TIMING OF THE CHANGEOVER FROM SNOW TO RAIN ACROSS SOUTHERN
TALKEETNA...AND THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THIS TRANSITION. LATEST
MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT RAIN WILL BEGIN TO MIX IN WITH SNOW
IN TALKEETNA EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...AND CHANGE TO ALL RAIN BY
NOON. SOME GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT RAIN COULD MIX WITH SNOW ALL
THE WAY TO CANTWELL BY TUESDAY EVENING. HOWEVER...AS THE HEAVIEST
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL BEFORE TUESDAY EVENING...SNOW
TOTALS WOULD ONLY BE REDUCE BY A FEW INCHES.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA FOR A FEW MORE HOURS THIS MORNING
BEFORE PRECIPITATION MIXES WITH OR CHANGES OVER TO RAIN AS THE
FRONT PUSHES INLAND. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD EASTWARD WITH THE
FRONT INTO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL INITIALLY BE SNOW OVER INLAND
AREAS...ALLOWING FOR A QUICK 1-2 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BEFORE
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS HELP TO FACILITATE A TRANSITION TO RAIN
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS BY THIS EVENING. THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN FOCUSED OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THESE
ZONES THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT STALLS IN THE VICINITY OF
THE ALASKA RANGE...WITH ONSHORE FLOW KEEPING A MORE SHOWERY REGIME
OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
GALE TO STORM FORCE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT MUCH OF THE
BERING SEA THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE POWERFUL LOW TRACKS NORTHWARD
TOWARDS THE BERING STRAIT. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TODAY
ALONG A CORRIDOR SPANNING FROM NEAR ADAK TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS
IN UNSTABLE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
LOW CENTER...WITH GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING.
MEANWHILE...ANOTHER SWATH OF STORM FORCE WINDS WILL IMPACT THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS IN COLD ADVECTION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW.
THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AS THE FRONT MOVES EASTWARD...WITH STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW
SUPPORTING A VERY SHOWERY REGIME OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE BERING
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE LOW APPROACHING THE AKPEN/KODIAK ISLAND ON WEDNESDAY WILL
BRING GAP WINDS AND ANOTHER SURGE OF RAIN/SNOW TO THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND. DEEP AND MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ACCOMPANY THIS LOW
FOR MOST AREAS EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...KEEPING TEMPERATURES
WELL ABOVE NORMAL AND PRECIPITATION AS RAIN IN MOST AREAS WITH
SNOW MAINLY CONFINED TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHERN
SUSITNA VALLEY AND COPPER RIVER BASIN. THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND ON
THE OTHER HAND WILL LARGELY BE SPARED FROM THE STRONGEST WARM AIR
ADVECTION...SO WIDESPREAD SNOW IS MUCH MORE LIKELY...ESPECIALLY IN
WESTERN BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WHERE NORTHERLY FLOW
WILL PERSIST. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE AS TO WHETHER THIS
SNOWFALL WILL REACH IN TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA ON WEDNESDAY...BUT
THERE IS INCREASING CONFIDENCE THAT ANY SNOWFALL SHOULD REMAIN
EAST OF BETHEL.

AT THIS SAME TIME A GALE FORCE (OR POTENTIALLY STORM FORCE) LOW
WILL ENTER THE WESTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS ON WEDNESDAY. THIS LOW
WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD GALE FORCE WINDS INTO THE EASTERN
BERING/ALEUTIANS ON THURSDAY...EVENTUALLY ABSORBING THE LOW
MOVING INTO THE AKPEN ON WEDNESDAY AS IT CROSSES THE ALEUTIANS.

IN THE EAST EXPECT WINDY CONDITIONS THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN AS
THE FIRST LOW MOVES TO THE SOUTHERN END OF SHELIKOF STRAIT INTO
THE WEEKEND. AS THE WARM AIR MASS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INITIAL LOW
MOVES OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON SOUTHERLY FLOW...RAIN WILL AFFECT
THE COAST AND INLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH A MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE. IN THE
WEST EXPECT GALES NEAR THE AKPEN DURING THE WEEKEND...AND THEN
ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AS THE STRONG EX-TYPHOON MOVES ACROSS THE
ISLANDS AND THE BERING...FOLLOWED BY A SECOND LOW IN ITS WAKE.

CONFIDENCE IS DECENT THAT THIS SCENARIO WILL BE A WIND AND RAIN
MAKER OVER THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS AS WELL AS THE GULF COAST.
WHETHER PRECIPITATION REMAINS LIQUID OVER INTERIOR ZONES REMAINS
UNCERTAIN.
