SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
539 AM AKST SUN FEB 21 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE MUCH ADVERTISED WEEKEND STORM IS UPON US IN SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA THIS MORNING. A PLUME OF MOISTURE IS MOVING THROUGH PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND AND INTO THE KENAI AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS...AS SHOWN
ON THE MIDDLETON ISLAND RADAR. THUS FAR...DOWNSLOPING HAS LARGELY
KEPT PRECIPITATION MINIMAL ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...THOUGH
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF RAIN AND FREEZING RAIN ALONG
THE GLENN NORTH OF EAGLE RIVER. KENAI RADAR ALSO INDICATES
ONGOING...BUT DIMINISHING...PRECIPITATION ALONG THE STERLING
HIGHWAY AS WELL. THE LATEST ACARS SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT SINCE THE
00Z SOUNDING...THE ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE HAS BECOME NEARLY
ISOTHERMAL ALONG THE 0C ISOTHERM...A SIGN THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES
TO MOISTEN. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO AFFECTING MUCH OF THE NORTHERN
GULF COAST WITH THIS FRONT. A BUOY NEAR HITCHENBROOK ENTRANCE
RECENTLY REPORTED A GUST TO 60 MPH...WHILE AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS
GUSTS HAVE FREQUENTLY EXCEEDED 30 MPH. A WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE
CURRENTLY IN THE CENTRAL GULF TRAVELING NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE
FRONT MAY HELP TO SHIFT THE PRECIPITATION AS IT APPROACHES THE
KENAI PENINSULA LATER TODAY. MORE ON THAT BELOW.

THE DOMINANT SYNOPTIC FEATURE DRIVING THE TRACK OF THE ACTIVE
WEATHER IS A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW APPROACHING THE PACIFIC SIDE
OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS WEAKENING FEATURE IS CAUSING
SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS A LARGE AREA FROM
SOUTHWEST ALASKA THROUGH THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ALEUTIANS. EXCEPT
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST OF BRISTOL BAY...TEMPERATURES ARE PLENTY
COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. MEANWHILE ACROSS THE WESTERN BERING...THE
STRONG FLOW OF MARINE-MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR FROM SIBERIA CONTINUES
TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD UNSTABLE CUMULUS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING OFF-
AND-ON SNOW SHOWERS...ALONG WITH GALE FORCE WINDS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

EVEN AT THIS LATE HOUR THE MODELS ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE
SMALL DETAILS OF THE ONGOING PRECIPITATION EVENT IN SOUTHCENTRAL.
THE GLOBAL MODELS REMAIN THE WETTER FOR ANCHORAGE AS COMPARED WITH
THE LOCAL SCALE MODELS. GIVEN HOW THE EVENT HAS EVOLVED
THUS FAR...THE GFS WAS PREFERRED FOR MUCH OF THE REST OF
SOUTHCENTRAL...PARTICULARLY THE KENAI PENINSULA. FOR
ANCHORAGE...THE NAM WAS PREFERRED AS IT SHOWS CONTINUED
DOWNSLOPING...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY HOLD OFF ALL
PRECIPITATION IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AS THE GEM SHOWS. DUE LIKELY
TO THEIR POORER RESOLUTION...THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE TOO WET FOR
MUCH OF THE LEE OF THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS.

FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE
TRACK OF THE LOW MOVING THROUGH BRISTOL BAY ON SUNDAY...HOWEVER
THEY ARE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT REGARDING HOW MUCH
PRECIPITATION RESULTS FROM THE PASSAGE OF BOTH THE SURFACE LOW AND
THE ACCOMPANYING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. THE GFS WAS THE CHOSEN
MODEL BETWEEN THE DRIER LOCAL SCALE MODELS AND THE WETTER EC.

WITH THE DISAGREEMENT IN THE SMALL DETAILS OF THE FORECAST WHICH
COULD RESULT IN LARGE CHANGES...FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW.

&&

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

A LOW ALONG A BROAD FRONTAL ZONE IN THE GULF MOVES TO OVER THE KENAI
PEN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND TRACKS NORTH AND WEAKENS THIS EVENING.
STRONG EASTERLY CROSS BARRIER FLOW ACROSS THE CHUGACH AND KENAI
MOUNTAINS THROUGH THIS MORNING WILL DAMPEN PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL
TO THE LEE THIS MORNING WITH THE BRUNT OF THE PRECIPITATION
(SNOW/RAIN) FALLING ACROSS THE EASTERN KENAI. THAT SAID...THERE IS
STILL ADVISORY LEVEL SNOW POTENTIAL FOR HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE
CHUGACH BORDERING THE ANCHORAGE BOWL. SNOW/RAIN WEST OF THE
CHUGACH/KENAI MOUNTAINS SHOULD TRANSITION MORE TOWARD SNOW BY
EVENING WITH WEAK COLD ADVECTION MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTH.
PRECIPITATION ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE
SHOWERY TONIGHT AS COLDER AIR MOVES IN ALOFT AND DESTABILIZES THE
ATMOSPHERE. SHOWERY CONDITIONS WITH STILL SOME MIXED
PRECIPITATION TYPES WILL LIKELY HOLD THROUGH INTO MON EVENING.

A BOUT OF EASTERLY STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
EASTERN GULF AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS MORNING IN ADVANCE OF
THE NORTH MOVING WAVE. WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH BY AFTERNOON AS THE
WAVE MOVES INLAND OVER THE KENAI PEN. GAP FLOWS ACROSS FAVORED
LOCALS (PORTAGE/TURNAGAIN ARM/MAT/KNIK) WILL INCREASE THROUGH IS
MORNING AND SHOULD REMAIN BRISK AND GUSTY THROUGH INTO MON.
BLOWING SNOW SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR ISSUE GIVEN THE EXPECTED WARM
TEMPERATURES AND WET CHARACTER OF THE SNOW.

WHILE CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO SLIGHTLY INCREASE WITH REGARDS TO
THE SNOWFALL AND WIND FORECASTS...ANY MINOR DEVIATIONS IN THE LOW
TRACK ALONG THE FRONT COULD RESULT IN DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT
RESULTS. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE FORECAST CAN OCCUR DURING THIS
EVENT BASED ON THE LATEST MODEL TRENDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 TO 4)...
AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WILL
BRING SNOW AND GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS THIS MORNING...AND THEN
DIMINISH FROM EAST TO WEST BY LATE MORNING. THE PRIMARY UPPER
LEVEL LOW WILL THEN MOVE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THIS
EVENING...BRINGING LIGHT SNOW MAINLY TO WESTERN AND NORTHERN
BRISTOL BAY INTO MONDAY MORNING. SKIES OVER THE REGION WILL THEN
REMAIN CLOUDY WITH ONSHORE FLOW AND DIMINISHING SHOWERS FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY MONDAY AHEAD OF A GALE-STORM FORCE FRONT THAT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AKPEN AND BRISTOL BAY ON TUESDAY...BRINGING
STRONG WINDS TO THOSE AREAS INTO WEDNESDAY

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 TO 4)...
NORTHERLY FLOW AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST OVER THE BERING
THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AHEAD OF A GALE FORCE FRONT THAT WILL
APPROACH THE WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FOR MONDAY. THE MODELS
CONTINUE TO BE CONSISTENT THAT THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTH
OF THE ISLANDS...KEEPING MOST OF THE SNOWFALL AND STRONGEST WINDS
TO THE SOUTH. WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING TO ABOVE FREEZING...THIS
SHOULD LIMIT ANY SIGNIFICANT BLOWING SNOW CONCERNS AS WELL. THIS
LOW WILL THEN MERGE INTO A COMPLEX LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS ON
TUESDAY...BRINGING WIDESPREAD GALE FORCE WINDS AND RAIN/SNOW
THROUGHOUT THE ALEUTIANS THEN WILL SPREAD TOWARDS THE PRIBILOFS
BY WEDNESDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE FORECAST REASONING FOR DAYS 3 THROUGH 7 HAS CHANGED LITTLE
FROM YESTERDAYS FORECAST PACKAGE WITH A LONGWAVE RIDGE REMAINING
OVER THE BROOKS RANGE SOUTHWARD TO THE WESTERN CONUS AND A BROAD
LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. AT THE START OF THE
MID-TERM...THE 970 MB LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WILL START
TO MERGE WITH THE 975 MB LOW MOVING NORTHWESTWARD FROM THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC. MOVING INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...A
CONSOLIDATED LOW IN THE MID-960MB RANGE WILL BE CENTERED ABOUT 300
NM SOUTH OF COLD BAY. THROUGH FRIDAY THIS LOW WILL SLOWLY SHIFT
WESTWARD AND EVOLVE INTO A BROAD LOW WITH MULTIPLE LOW CENTERS
MOVING AROUND THE UPPER-LOW...AT THIS POINT CENTERED OVER THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.

AS FAR AS SENSIBLE WEATHER...A GENERAL WARMING TREND IS STILL
EXPECTED IN THE MID TO LONG TERM OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA AS
THE REGION WILL STAY IN CYCLONIC FLOW. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...A
GALE TO STORM FORCE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHWESTWARD
MOVING NORTHERN PACIFIC LOW WILL SWEEP INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA.
THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER LARGE SHOT OF PRECIPITATION TO THE
COASTAL AREAS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...KODIAK ISLAND...AND THE ALASKA
PENINSULA. SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL LIKELY SEE SOME SPILLOVER
PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM AS WELL. FOR INTERIOR SECTIONS OF
SOUTHCENTRAL...MODEL GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT THIS TIME THAT MOST
OF THE AREA WILL BE DOWNSLOPED FOR THIS SYSTEM...BUT THIS WILL
BEAR WATCHING OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
