SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
413 PM AKDT SAT APR 2 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A RATHER SHOWERY WEATHER PATTERN IS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON OVER
MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA AS THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST
GRADUALLY FLATTENS AND MOVES FURTHER EAST. THIS IS RESULTING IN
PREDOMINANTLY SOUTHWESTERLY ONSHORE FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA. A
WEAKENING UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN
INTERIOR IS TAPPING INTO MOISTURE MOVING INLAND...RESULTING IN
LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION OVER THE Y-K DELTA THROUGH THE
NORTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY. ELSEWHERE LIGHTER SHOWERS ARE TAPERING
OFF AS DRIER AIR MOVES IN TO THE BRISTOL BAY AREA AND COASTAL
SOUTHCENTRAL BEHIND A WEAK FRONT EXITING TO THE NORTH. UPSTREAM OF
THE RIDGE...A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE BERING SEA AND CENTRAL
NORTH PACIFIC PERSISTS. A STACKED LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE AS A STRENGTHENING LOW APPROACHES
FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY. MODELS ARE
CONSISTENT IN SHIFTING THE LONGWAVE TROUGH EAST...CENTERING IT
OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA BY THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK WEEK. MINOR
DIFFERENCES ARISE IN THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW MOVING
NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA THROUGH THE
END OF THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER THE IMPACTS OF THESE DISCREPANCIES TO
THE FORECAST ARE MINIMAL. HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS WERE FAVORED IN
THE FORECAST PACKAGE TODAY IN BOTH DOMAINS. DUE TO THE REASONABLE
MODEL AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2...SUN AND MON)...
A TRANSIENT MID-LEVEL RIDGE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT
THROUGH SUN. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE GUSTY SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS TO
CONTINUE TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING. IT WILL ALSO ALLOW SOME DRY
AIR TO WORK INTO THE AREA BRINGING AN END TO THE SHOWERS OVERNIGHT.
THIS DRY AIR SHOULD ALSO MAKE FOR MORE ABUNDANT SUNSHINE ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA ON SUN. THE LONE EXCEPTION WILL BE FOR KODIAK
ISLAND. A WEAK FRONT WILL SLIDE OVER THE SOUTHERN END OF THE
ISLAND BY SUN MORNING AND SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY NORTH TO KODIAK
CITY BY SUN AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION WILL BE HEAVIEST NEAR AKHIOK
AS BROAD SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL FAVOR THE GULF SIDE.

BY MON...TWO AREAS OF LOWER PRESSURE WILL BE MOVING TOWARD THE
GULF. ONE WILL BE SOUTH OF COLD BAY AND THE OTHER DEVELOPING ALONG
A WEAK FRONT OVER THE EASTERN GULF. THIS WILL ALLOW SOME OUTFLOW WINDS
TO DEVELOP FAVORING AREAS SUCH AS THE MATANUSKA VALLEY...THE
COPPER RIVER DELTA...AND THOMPSON PASS. AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES
OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST...PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BROAD FRONT IN THE GULF SHOULD REACH THE COAST BY MON AFTERNOON.
THE LOW FROM COLD BAY WILL BECOME THE DOMINANT FEATURE INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. IT WILL REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE MAINLAND...SO MOST
INLAND LOCATIONS LOOK TO STAY DRY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL WRAP UP EARLY THIS EVENING OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND KUSKOKWIM VALLEY...AS THE LOW OVER THE WESTERN
COAST OF ALASKA PUSHES FURTHER NORTH TONIGHT. WITH SOME AREAS OF
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERING AROUND THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND A
BRIEF WINDOW OF SLACKENING WINDS OVER THE AREA...THERE REMAINS A
CHANCE FOR FOG TO DEVELOP OVER THESE AREAS DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING. THE LIMITING FACTORS WOULD BE IF
THE WINDS DO NOT DIMINISH ENOUGH BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS AS MOS
GUIDANCE IS DEPICTING...AND IF THE CLOUD COVER INCREASES OVER
THESE AREAS FASTER THAN EXPECTED LIMITING THE CHANCE FOR THESE
AREAS TO RADIATE OUT. THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL NOT REMAIN DRY
FOR LONG AS ANOTHER FRONT ATTACHED TO A LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS DRIVES A FRONT TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA
THIS EVENING. BASED ON THE ORIENTATION...TYPICAL LEE SIDE
LOCATIONS OF THE ALEUTIAN AND ALASKA RANGES LIKE KING SALMON AND
ILIAMNA WILL LIKELY REMAIN DRIER...WHILE COASTAL LOCATIONS SEE
ANOTHER GOOD SHOT OF RAIN AND SNOW. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL HEADING INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
MUCH OF THE BERING SEA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK...AS
BROAD TROUGHING REMAINS OVER THE AREA. GUSTY NORTHEASTERLY WINDS
WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE BERING SEA...AS A
DECENT GRADIENT SETS UP IN RESPONSE TO AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS WHICH CLASHES WITH HIGHER PRESSURE NEAR THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. A GALE FORCE FRONT ATTACHED TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED LOW WILL SWING THROUGH THE PACIFIC COASTAL MARINE
ZONES OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA SUNDAY NIGHT...BUT SHOULD WEAKEN
RAPIDLY HEADING INTO MONDAY. UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION ALONG THE
ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL BRING SOME LOCALIZED
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION BUT ALL AND ALL PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN
QUITE SHOWERY EVEN WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE PATTERN OF TROUGHING OVER THE BERING AND RIDGING OVER THE
EASTERN PART OF THE STATE LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH NEXT WEEK.
THIS WILL KEEP WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW MOVING IN OVER THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND WITH COLD NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. IN
THIS SETUP THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE ALONG THE
NORTH GULF COAST...WEST COAST AND ALEUTIANS AS LOWS MOVE THROUGH
THE BROAD TROUGH. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJOR
PATTERN BUT STRUGGLE WITH THE EXACT PLACEMENT AND TIMING OF LOWS
EMBEDDED IN THE TROUGH.
