SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
455 AM AKDT FRI APR 15 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A STACKED LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT
TRACKS EASTWARD...AS AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
PUSHES INTO THE KENAI PENINSULA. MEANWHILE...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING
PERSISTS OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL INTERIOR AND ACROSS THE ALCAN
BORDER. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY OVER THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS AND BERING AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF THE
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA.

AT THE SURFACE...A LARGE AREA OF CYCLONIC FLOW ACCOMPANIES THE
ABOVE MENTIONED STACKED LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK...WITH THE LONE
EXCEPTION OF A NARROW SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN COPPER RIVER
BASIN AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING. COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE
WESTERN FLANK OF THE LOW CONTINUES TO PRODUCE SHOWERY CONDITIONS
AND GUSTY NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS.
SHOWERY CONDITIONS HAVE ALSO SPREAD FROM THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
TO OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA AND COOK INLET REGION...AS THE ABOVE
MENTIONED UPPER LEVEL WAVE TRACKS WESTWARD OVER THE KENAI
PENINSULA AND COOK INLET AREA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS REMAIN LOCKED IN ON THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN IN
THE SHORT TERM AS THE LARGE NORTH PACIFIC LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK
ISLAND CONTINUES TO SLOWLY TRACK EASTWARD SOUTH OF THE GULF OF
ALASKA THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. SEVERAL SOUTHEAST-TO-NORTHWEST
UPPER WAVES WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE NORTH GULF AND COOK INLET
REGION INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA IN THE PROCESS. MODELS ARE ALSO IN
GOOD AGREEMENT ON A SOLID GALE-FORCE OR LOW-END STORM-FORCE FRONT
ENTERING THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO
SATURDAY MORNING. THE MODELS THEN SHOW THIS SYSTEM SPREADING
EASTWARD THROUGH THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN BERING THROUGH SUNDAY.
MODELS REMAIN IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH RIDGING BUILDING BACK OVER
THE SOUTHCENTRAL INTERIOR AND NORTHERN GULF COAST OVER THE
WEEKEND.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL SLOWLY DRIFT EAST
AND SOUTH THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. A WEAK ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT
WILL REACH THE COAST LATER TODAY AND WEAKEN/DISSIPATE THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT WILL
FALL NEAR THE COAST AND COASTAL MOUNTAINS. SOME WIDELY SCATTERED
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER INLAND AREAS...AS ENOUGH MOISTURE
AND WEAK CYCLONIC FLOW AREA OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
GENERALLY BENIGN CONDITIONS CHARACTERIZED BY LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW
WILL REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGH SATURDAY
AS THE BROAD LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPEN PULLS OFF TO THE EAST. MODEST
INSTABILITY AND A WEAK DISTURBANCE CROSSING THE ALEUTIAN RANGE MAY
BE SUFFICIENT TO TOUCH OFF A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY
REGION THIS AFTERNOON...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS EXTENDING
TOWARDS THE ALASKA RANGE ON SATURDAY AS A SECOND UPPER WAVE
APPROACHES FROM THE EAST.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A STRONG FRONT WILL APPROACH THE FAR WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON ACCOMPANIED BY STORM FORCE WINDS AND HEAVY
PRECIPITATION...WITH THESE CONDITIONS SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF
THE REST OF THE BERING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WINDS WILL WEAKEN
SLIGHTLY TO GALE FORCE AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES EASTWARD TOWARDS
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS ON SATURDAY AND THEN DUTCH HARBOR AND THE
PRIBILOFS SATURDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS A RAIN/SNOW
MIX AT ONSET BEFORE TRANSITIONING QUICKLY TO RAIN AS WARM PACIFIC
AIR SURGES NORTHWARD BEHIND THE FRONT. PASSAGE OF THE FRONT WILL
ALSO SIGNAL TRANSITION TO A MORE SHOWERY REGIME AS THE ASSOCIATED
LOW CENTER MOVES INTO THE WESTERN BERING ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE EXTENDED FORECAST BEGINS ON SATURDAY NIGHT WITH GENERALLY
WEAK FLOW ALOFT FOR MUCH OF THE MAINLAND. THIS PATTERN WILL LEAD
TO SPOTTY AFTERNOON/EVENING SHOWERS...MAINLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN
WITH PARTLY CLOUDY SKY AND A CONTINUATION OF ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. OUT WEST...A BERING SEA FRONT WILL BE MOVING WEST TO
EAST AS IT STALLS AND WEAKENS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. FURTHER OUT
INTO NEXT WEEK....THE SAME TIRED PATTERN PLAYS OUT WITH A
MODERATELY ACTIVE EAST ASIAN JET WELL TO THE SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIANS WILL PROMOTE TROUGHING OVER THE BERING AND ALEUTIAN
CHAIN WHICH WILL SEND WEAKENING FRONTS INTO THE AREA WITH SHOWERS
UNDER THE UPPER LOW SYSTEM. GENERALLY BENIGN FLOW AND WEATHER WILL
ENCOMPASS THE SOUTHCENTRAL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WITH THE BEST
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ALONG THE COAST...BUT GENERALLY PARTLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.

&&

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING...175 176 177.
