SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
417 PM AKST TUE JAN 5 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A SERIES OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO DRIFT ACROSS
THE BROAD TROUGH LOCATED IN THE BERING...WHILE AN OMEGA BLOCK
REMAINS STUBBORNLY IN PLACE ACROSS NORTHWEST CANADA AND INTO THE
EASTERN ALASKA MAINLAND. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HAS SUPPORTED
RATHER BENIGN CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA TODAY DESPITE
THE PRESENCE OF A SURFACE FRONT ALONG THE COAST. A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS ARE OCCURRING ACROSS PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS
AFTERNOON...AND A FEW GUSTS OF WINDS ARE OCCURRING IN ANCHORAGE
AND THE MATANUSKA VALLEY...BUT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE
AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE. THE COMBINATION OF UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING ALOFT AND LIGHT WINDS AT THE SURFACE WILL MAKE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT.
MEANWHILE...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT STEADY BUT LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS REMAIN IN ABOVE AVERAGE AGREEMENT OVER THE SHORT TERM...AND
ALL MODELS HAVE GENERALLY LOCKED ON TO A SIMILAR TRACK AND
INTENSITY OF THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY APPROACHING
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. AS A RESULT...HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS WERE
FAVORED TO CAPTURE LOCAL EFFECTS. IN THE LONG TERM...MODELS
DIVERGE MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANTLY ON THE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF A
SERIES OF LOWS AS THEY APPROACH THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND BERING
OVER THE NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW IN ANY INDIVIDUAL
FEATURE PAST FRIDAY NIGHT. &&

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

A DEPARTING TROUGH LIFTING TOWARD THE NORTH SLOPE THIS EVENING
WILL QUICKLY GIVE WAY TO INCREASING INFLUENCE FROM A YUKON UPPER
RIDGE. WITH BUILDING PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE ACROSS THE
YUKON...THIS WILL RESULT IN THE FORMATION OF A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH
ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST...WITH INCREASING OUTFLOW WINDS
THROUGH FAVORED GAPS. OTHERWISE...INTERIOR LOCATIONS WILL FEEL A
WEAK PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WILL COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF PATCHY
FOG DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE COPPER BASIN AND NEAR KNIK
ARM AND THE NORTHERN COOK INLET. A CLOSED UPPER LOW PASSING
THROUGH THE LARGER SCALE ATMOSPHERIC FLOW WILL MOVE INTO THE
NORTHERN GULF THURSDAY...SPREADING COASTAL SHOWERS AND CLOUDS
ACROSS THE INTERIOR.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE
SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION TONIGHT BEFORE EXITING THE AOR BY
LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL PRODUCE A WINTRY MIX ALONG THE
COASTLINE BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL SNOW INLAND AREAS. BY WEDNESDAY A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA RESULTING IN DRIER
CONDITIONS WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE WEAK WESTERLY FLOW WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL CHANGE AS
A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL TRACK JUST SOUTH OF
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE ASSOCIATED
WEATHER FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH PRODUCING GUSTY STORM FORCE
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ALONG THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL STRENGTHEN SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE HIGH RESOLUTION
WRF-ARW IMAGERY SHOWING BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS RANGING FROM 65 TO
80 KNOTS OVER DUTCH HARBOR. THEREFORE...A HIGH WIND WARNING HAS
BEEN ISSUED FOR THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AS THIS WEATHER FRONT MOVES
THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL BRING A LARGE
SWATH OF MOISTURE SPILLING OVER INTO THE CENTRAL/EASTERN BERING
SEA THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING
WITH THE WARM AIR ADVECTION EXCEPT FOR A WINTRY MIX IN THE
NORTHERN BERING SEA. ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
THERE WILL BE A STRONG PUSH OF COLD AIR FROM THE WESTERN BERING
SEA SOUTHWARD INTO THE WESTERN TO CENTRAL ALEUTIANS HEADING INTO
WEDNESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE STORM FORCE NORTHERLY WINDS
JUST WEST OF ADAK BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND WILL SHIFT MORE
WESTERLY BY LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING NUMEROUS
SNOW SHOWERS TO THE WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND THE WESTERN
BERING SEA. THIS WILL BRING A STRONG CORE OF WINDS INTO ADAK WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WIND WARNING LEVELS. THEREFORE...A HIGH
WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FOR WEDNESDAY
EVENING THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

&&

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

BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY ANOTHER STRONG LOW MOVES NORTH
ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA BEFORE STALLING OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN
BERING FRIDAY...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF WINDS AND RAIN TO THE
BRISTOL BAY AND ALASKA PENINSULA REGIONS AS WELL AS KODIAK ISLAND
LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT THEN MOVES
TO THE NORTH GULF COAST LATER IN THE DAY ON FRIDAY BEFORE STALLING
AND DIMINISHING. STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL KEEP MOST OF
THE PRECIPITATION CONFINED TO COASTAL LOCATIONS...WITH DOWNSLOPE
DRYING FOR INLAND AREAS.

FROM THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
PATTERN IS EXPECTED...WITH A CONTINUATION OF THE WEATHER PATTERN
THAT HAS BROUGHT WARM AIR AND PLENTIFUL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO
MAINLAND ALASKA FOR THE LAST WEEK. THE MOST ACTIVE STORM TRACK IS
GOING TO KEEP MODERATE OR PERHAPS EVEN STRONG INTENSITY STORMS
MOVING NORTHWARD FROM THE PACIFIC AND INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
BERING AND POSSIBLY BRUSHING SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THE BERING/ALEUTIAN
BASIN WILL BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER FOR THE NEXT WEEK
WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY PRECIPITATION.
MEANWHILE...THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL SEE MULTIPLE BUT
RELATIVELY MINOR ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION (MOSTLY RAIN) DURING THE
PERIOD WITH WINDS STAYING MAINLY ALONG THE COAST. FURTHER TO THE
EAST...A SMALL BUT MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE FROM LAST WEEK'S PATTERN
IS THAT THE JET STREAM MOVING UP INTO THE STATE IS GOING TO BE A
BIT MORE SOUTHEASTERLY THAN IT WAS LAST WEEK (WHEN IT WAS NEARLY
FROM THE DUE SOUTH). THIS WILL GENERALLY FAVOR NORTHERLY WINDS AT
THE LOWEST LEVELS OF COOK INLET...KEEPING THE MAIN POPULATION
CENTERS DRIER AND COOLER.

WHILE THE MODELS AGREE ON THE OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN THEY
DISAGREE SIGNIFICANTLY ON INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS BEYOND THURSDAY
NIGHT. THIS YIELDS VERY LITTLE PREDICTABILITY ON SOME POTENTIALLY MAJOR
SHORTWAVES THAT WILL PINWHEEL AROUND THE LONGWAVE TROUGH IN THE
BERING SEA THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK. THE GFS BRINGS SEVERAL
STRONG STORMS THROUGH THE AKPEN/SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION DURING THE
EXTENDED FORECAST TIMEFRAME...WHEREAS THE ECMWF IS SUBSTANTIALLY
WEAKER WITH THE INDIVIDUAL STORMS AND DOES NOT EVEN AGREE WITH THE
GFS ON THE NUMBER OF STORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP DURING THE NEXT
WEEK. WE WILL CLOSELY WATCH FOR THE POSSIBILITY THAT ANY ONE OF
THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE WARNING-LEVEL CONDITIONS FOR WINDS OR
PRECIPITATION.
