SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
430 PM AKST FRI JAN 29 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED BETWEEN SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND
AND THE YUKON DELTA WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHEAST INTO THE
NORTHWEST GULF OF ALASKA. THERE IS A DOUBLE-BARREL UPPER LEVEL
LOW WITH ONE CENTER OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND THE OTHER TO
THE SOUTH OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC. THERE IS A FRONT FROM
THIS LOW COMPLEX STRETCHING WEST-TO-EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
BERING TO SOUTH OF THE PRIBILOFS THEN NORTH-TO-SOUTH THROUGH
UNALASKA INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC. THERE IS ANOTHER FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SOUTHERN LOW THAT IS DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTAINS. THERE IS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER EASTERN ALASKA
THAT EXTENDS SOUTHEAST ACROSS WESTERN CANADA AND INTO THE HIGH
PLAINS OF THE LOWER 48.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT OVER MAINLAND ALASKA
AND THE GULF OF ALASKA. OVER THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS THE
MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT. THE EXCEPTION IS THE CANADIAN GEM.
ALL THE MODELS START WITH MULTIPLE LOWS OVER/NEAR THE
ALEUTIANS...THEN CONSOLIDATE THEM INTO ONE LARGE LOW OVER THE
SOUTH CENTRAL BERING BY SUNDAY MORNING. THE GEM CREATES A STRONGER
LOW FURTHER WEST THAN THE OTHER MODELS TONIGHT (JUST WEST OF
UNALASKA) THEN SHOOTS IT NORTH ACROSS THE BERING SEA SATURDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY WHILE KEEPING A SECOND LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THUS THE GEM WAS NOT USED IN THE FORECAST.

&&

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

RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA SHOULD CONTINUE
TO TAPER OFF DURING THE EVENING HOURS. HOWEVER...A WEAK UPPER
LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PUSH THROUGH ANCHORAGE...THE MATANUSKA
VALLEY AND SUSITNA VALLEY AND HELP KEEP ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. MOST OF THE SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL TAPER OFF
BY SATURDAY MORNING AS THE TROUGH PASSES THROUGH AND FIZZLES OUT.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY WHICH WILL LEAD TO A PERIOD OF BENIGN WEATHER. THE MAIN
FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE IDENTIFYING
PATCHY TO LOCALLY DENSE FOG AS THE AIR MASS IN PLACE IS STILL
QUITE MOISTURE RICH. CURRENTLY...PRECIPITABLE WATER FROM RAOB
SOUNDINGS AROUND SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA HEADING TO THE NORTHERN SIDE
OF THE ALASKA RANGE ALL RANGE FROM THE 110 TO 200 PERCENT OF
NORMAL VALUE. WITH COLDER AIR FILTERING INTO THE LOWER LEVELS OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL NIGHTS...A STRONG INVERSION SHOULD DEVELOP. THE
AREAS MOST LIKELY TO SEE FOG WILL BE THE COPPER RIVER BASIN VALLEY
LOCATIONS...ANCHORAGE...THE MAT-SU VALLEYS...AND COASTAL LOCATIONS
OF THE KENAI PENINSULA. A FRONT WILL BEGIN APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST ON SUNDAY BUT WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE MUCH PROGRESS AS IT
CLASHES WITH THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL HEADING INTO THE
BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS
1 AND 2)...
THE MAIN STORY OUT WEST IS A LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE THE BERING
AIDED BY A JET STREAK FROM THE SOUTH. IT WILL MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHERN BERING SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND TO THE NORTHERN BERING LATE
SUNDAY. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A STRONG
PUSH OF WARM MOIST AIR OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND SOUTHWEST
ALASKA BEGINNING SATURDAY AND LASTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

THIS WARMER AIR WILL MEAN THAT MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION THAT
WILL COME WITH THE FRONT WILL BE RAIN. HOWEVER...TONIGHT BEFORE
THE FRONT MOVES IN A SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA THAT WILL BRING ENOUGH SNOW AND WINDS TO SEE BLOWING SNOW
FOR SEVERAL HOURS. WEST OF THE MAIN LOW...NORTH TO WEST FLOW WILL
DOMINATE KEEPING THE AREA COLD WITH SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

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

LOW PRESSURE IN THE CENTRAL BERING SUNDAY NIGHT MOVES TO THE
NORTHWEST BERING AND CONTINUES TO FILL THROUGH MONDAY...WHILE AN
ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH BRISTOL
BAY AND ALONG THE GULF COAST HELPS TO KEEP MAINLY SOUTHEAST
FACING UPSLOPE AREAS ON THE WET SIDE. THIS ATMOSPHERIC PATTERN
WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER AND WETTER CONDITIONS WHERE THE SOUTHERLY TO
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW PERSISTS...WHILE UNDERNEATH THE MID-LEVEL
HIGH...PLACES SUCH AS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND SHELTERED VALLEYS
INLAND WILL SEE THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES AND DRIEST CONDITIONS.

BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN MAINLAND MAY
BREAK DOWN A BIT AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WEAKENS AND MOVES NORTH
TOWARD THE BRISTOL BAY AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION. THIS MAY ALLOW
A BIT MORE ACTIVE WEATHER TO RETURN TO MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND BY LATE NEXT WEEK.
