SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
502 AM AKST TUE FEB 16 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW OFF THE SIBERIAN COAST
STRETCHES OVER THE CENTRAL BERING...WHILE A DEVELOPING LOW IS
QUICKLY MOVING IN BEHIND IT. THIS IS ALL OCCURRING UNDER A 140-KT
JET STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TOWARDS THE PRIBILOFS.
THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP UNDER THE JET TODAY...AND BE THE
PRIMARY DRIVER FOR ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE SOUTHWEST FOR TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. RIDGING CONTINUES OVER MUCH OF THE MAINLAND AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT...WHICH IS CREATING AREAS OF FOG/STRATUS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ELSEWHERE. OVER THE
EASTERN INTERIOR A DRY UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS DIVING SOUTHWARD
TOWARDS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...BUT IS FAILING TO CREATE MUCH
MORE THAN INCREASING CLOUDS AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE COPPER RIVER
BASIN. ELSEWHERE A WEAK NORTHEAST PACIFIC LOW IS APPROACHING THE
PANHANDLE...BRINGING WEAK OUTFLOW WINDS TO THE GULF COAST WITH
LITTLE COLD AIR ADVECTION PRESENT.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

THE MODELS ARE NOW IN VERY GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT WITH THE LOW
AND ASSOCIATED FRONT APPROACHING THE SOUTHWEST COAST TODAY...BUT
CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE WARM AIR ADVECTION.
THE GFS IS THE STRONGEST WITH THE WARM AIR ADVECTION...BRINGING
RAIN OR AT LEAST A RAIN/SNOW MIX INTO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA ON
WEDNESDAY...WHILE THE NAM SHOWING ITS USUAL COLD BIAS AND KEEPING
PRECIP TYPE AS SNOW FOR THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGHOUT THE
EVENT. THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT THAT THERE WILL NOT BE DEEP
SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH THIS FRONT...AS LOW LEVEL WINDS OVER THE NORTH
PACIFIC WILL GENERALLY BE WESTERLY. AS A RESULT THE FORECAST IS
CURRENTLY SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THE GFS...BUT THE NAM CONTINUES TO
BE TREATED AS A STRONG COOL OUTLIER.

&&

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

WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THERE
WILL BE CLEARING SKIES FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER BEFORE
THE RIDGE THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS MORNING. THIS IS BRINGING SOME
CLOUDS TO THE AREA BUT IT SHOULD CLEAR OUT BY THE AFTERNOON FOR
MOST OF THE AREA. OUTFLOW WINDS THOUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN ALONG THE
NORTH GULF COAST HAVE BEGUN AND WILL BE STRONGEST TODAY INTO THE
EVENING. WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. A FRONT
MOVING INTO THE WESTERN GULF FROM THE BERING SEA WILL BRING SOME
RAIN TO KODIAK ISLAND WEDNESDAY. THIS FRONT WILL STALL AS IT
PUSHES INTO THE RIDGE THAT WILL BE OVER MAINLAND ALASKA.

&&

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

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL BEGIN TO PUSH
EASTWARD TODAY...MAKING WAY FOR A FAST MOVING FRONT TO TRACK IN
FROM THE EASTERN BERING THIS EVENING. THIS FRONT WILL THEN STALL
ACROSS INLAND BRISTOL BAY AND THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...BRINGING WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION AND
STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS BEFORE THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST WEDNESDAY.
HEAVY SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR
WHERE THE FRONT STALLS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE
MAIN CORRIDOR LIKELY SETTING UP NORTH OF DILLINGHAM. ACCUMULATING
SNOW ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR BLOWING
SNOW CONDITIONS FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA...AS WELL AS PARTS OF THE
BRISTOL BAY INTERIOR. OTHERWISE EXPECT A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN RANGE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY
CHANGE TO ALL SNOW BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

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

A FAST MOVING WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE RAPID EAST
PROGRESS TO THE SOUTHWEST COAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...SPREADING
RAIN TO THE ALEUTIANS AND RAIN AND SNOW TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. A
COLD FRONT WILL RAPIDLY SWEEP WEST TO EAST BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT...SPREADING WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONG GALE FORCE
WINDS. ANOTHER POTENTIAL STORM-FORCE LOW WILL ENTER THE WESTERN
BERING SEA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND PUSH EASTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL
BERING/ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

MID-LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE OVER INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL WILL STRENGTHEN
AND EXPAND THURSDAY AND THEN SLIDE EAST TOWARD THE ALCAN AND YUKON
FRIDAY...WITH LOW-LEVEL OFFSHORE PRESSURE AND THERMAL GRADIENTS
ALSO WEAKENING FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. OVER
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE STORM SYSTEM WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BRING
ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW CONDITIONS TO MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
WILL BE WINDING DOWN...AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES SOUTH INTO
THE PACIFIC AND THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH STRETCHES TO THE POINT OF
DISSIPATION OVER THE SOUTHWEST COAST. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER STORM
SYSTEM MOVES EAST INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN BERING THURSDAY...BUT
ITS FRONT WILL STALL OUT BY FRIDAY MORNING AS MID-LEVEL
SOUTHEASTERLY BLOCKING FLOW INCREASES SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE GULF
INTO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA.

AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND AND THEN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WE
WILL BE CLOSELY WATCHING AS TO HOW MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCES AND
ASSOCIATED SURFACE FEATURES STRENGTHEN AND MOVE TOWARD THE STATE
FROM THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AROUND AN ANCHOR LOW NEAR OR SOUTH OF
THE AKPEN. SOME MODELS SUGGEST A TRAIN OF DISTURBANCES MOVING
SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST FROM THE GULF INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA AND THE
EASTERN BERING. WHILE SOUTHEAST-FACING UPSLOPE AREAS WILL LIKELY
BE ON THE WET SIDE DURING THIS TIME...ANY SYSTEMS THAT ARE STILL
STRENGTHENING AS THEY REACH THE STATE WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR
THE POTENTIAL FOR SPILLOVER PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND
IMPACTING THE POPULATION CENTERS ON THE NORTHWEST-FACING SLOPES.
