SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
520 AM AKDT THU APR 14 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER THE CENTRAL GULF OF
ALASKA...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRETCHING FROM THE EASTERN
INTERIOR ALONG THE ALCAN BORDER AND DOWN TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA.
BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES...AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF MID- AND HIGH-
LEVEL CLOUDS PREDOMINATES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS PERSISTING ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AND
AROUND THE COOK INLET REGION.

OUT WEST...WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS BETWEEN AN EXPANSIVE UPPER LOW JUST SOUTH OF
DUTCH HARBOR AND AN UPPER LOW OVER NORTHEASTERN RUSSIA...WITH
ANOTHER WEAK UPPER LOW FORMING OVER THE BERING STRAIT. AT THE
SURFACE...A WEAKENING FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERTICALLY STACKED
LOW SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR HAS PUSHED EASTWARD OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA...KEEPING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW
OVER THE AREA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS REMAIN LOCKED IN ON THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN IN
THE SHORT TERM AS THE LARGE NORTH PACIFIC LOW SKIRTS THE ALEUTIAN
CHAIN AND TRACKS EASTWARD SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND FRIDAY...THEN
INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC BY SUNDAY. MODELS REMAIN IN FAIR
AGREEMENT WITH RIDGING BUILDING BACK OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL
INTERIOR AND NORTHERN GULF COAST OVER THE WEEKEND. MODELS ARE
ALSO KEYING IN ON A SOLID GALE-FORCE FRONT ENTERING THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS/BERING FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE MODELS THEN SHOW THIS
SYSTEM SPREADING EASTWARD OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS/BERING BY
SATURDAY...AND INTO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING BY SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS SUPPORTING SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS MORNING. THIS WAVE WILL SUPPORT SHOWERS
ACROSS THE KENAI PENINSULA AND ANCHORAGE BOWL. AS THERE IS LITTLE
AVAILABLE MOISTURE OR SURFACE FORCING...SHOWERS WILL REMAIN
RELATIVELY LIGHT AND SCATTERED. SKIES SHOULD BECOME MORE SUNNY BY
THIS AFTERNOON AS THIS WAVE PUSHES WESTWARD AND SUBSIDENCE BRIEFLY
OCCURS...BEFORE ANOTHER WEAK WAVE MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT. RAIN
WILL BECOME MORE STEADY BY FRIDAY ALONG THE GULF COAST AS A WEAK
FRONT PUSHES NORTHWARDS. FLOW IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN CROSS BARRIER
WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND DOWNSLOPING SHOULD LIMIT RAINFALL ACROSS
THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...WEST KENAI PENINSULA AND MATANUSKA VALLEY.
&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
TODAY AS AN APPROACHING FRONT STALLS NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA
AND A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES OVERHEAD FROM THE EAST.
THIS FEATURE WILL ALSO SUPPORT A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE BRISTOL
BAY REGION THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE NORTHERLY FLOW USHERS IN A
PERIOD OF DRIER CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AS THE LOW
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. DAYTIME HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK WITH CONTINUED LIGHT OFFSHORE FLOW.

&&
