SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
450 PM AKST WED JAN 6 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE MAIN FEATURE DOMINATING THE ALASKA WEATHER MAP TODAY IS AN
IMPRESSIVE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS SPINNING OVER ATKA. CURRENT
SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES AN IMPRESSIVE FRONT THAT STRETCHES
WELL INTO THE PACIFIC...AND IS STREAMING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE NORTHWARDS. THIS FRONT HAS ALREADY SUPPORTED
SEVERAL GUSTS ABOVE HURRICANE STRENGTH ACROSS THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS THIS MORNING...ALONG WITH STEADY RAIN. ALONG THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THIS LOW...A LOW LEVEL JET IS DEVELOPING...AND WILL
SUPPORT STRONG GUSTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THROUGH THIS
EVENING. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL OMEGA BLOCK OVER NORTHWEST
CANADA IS SUPPORTING GENERALLY QUIET WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE CURRENTLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT ONLY IN THE NEAR SHORT
TERM. OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...MODELS GENERALLY INDICATE THAT
THE SURFACE LOW WILL WEAKEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE
BERING. HOWEVER...THERE IS MUCH MORE DISCREPANCY ON HOW AN UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCE EVOLVES TOWARD THE END OF THE SHORT TERM. THE
GFS AND NAM FAVOR A MORE ELONGATED UPPER LEVEL WAVE...WHILE THE
ECMWF FAVORS A MORE CONSOLIDATED UPPER LOW. THE MORE CONSISTENT
ECMWF SOLUTION WAS FAVORED.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE YUKON CONTINUES TO DOMINATE
THE REGION THIS EVENING...BUT WILL EVENTUALLY LOSE INFLUENCE AS
A MEANDERING NORTHEAST GULF OF ALASKA UPPER LOW MOVES INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS SYSTEM IS RATHER WEAK AND
LACKING IN MOISTURE...SO RAIN AND SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
REMAIN RELEGATED TO COASTAL MOUNTAINS...WITH A FEW FLURRIES ACROSS
THE EASTERN COPPER BASIN. THEREAFTER...A SERIES OF LOWS FORMING
ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF A DEEP BERING SEA LOW WILL CROSS OVER THE
ALASKA PENINSULA...TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
GULF OF ALASKA...AND SPREADING MORE ABUNDANT MOISTURE INTO COASTAL
LOCATIONS. THE MOST PERSISTENT RAIN AND STRONGEST WINDS WILL FROM
KODIAK TO THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA. THIS PATTERN WILL YIELD A
VERY STRONG INLAND DOWNSLOPE SHADOW...SO CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT
INLAND LOCATIONS WILL BE DRY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A RELATIVELY QUIET NIGHT IS IN STORE FOR THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
AS WEAK TRANSITORY RIDGING SUPPORTS MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS
THE AREA. A CHANCE OF SNOW WILL RETURN TO THE BRISTOL BAY AND
KUSKOKWIM DELTA REGIONS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS A WEAKENING
BERING FRONT ARRIVES ALONG THE COAST...WITH THE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION THEN CONTINUING INTO FRIDAY AS ANOTHER FRONT/INVERTED
SURFACE TROUGH BEGINS TO NOSE INTO THE SOUTHEAST BERING AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING NORTH PACIFIC LOW. WARMER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE
INTO THE AREA WITH THIS SYSTEM...SUPPORTING AN EVENTUAL CHANGEOVER
TO RAIN ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION FOR ANY PRECIPITATION THAT
DOES FALL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE STORM FORCE WINDS CURRENTLY IMPACTING A WIDE SWATH OF THE
BERING WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT AS THE DEEP LOW NORTH OF
ATKA BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND TRACKS NORTHWEST TOWARDS THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA. THIS WILL LEAVE MUCH OF THE BERING IN A SHOWERY REGIME
THROUGH FRIDAY BENEATH BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW...WITH THE BULK OF THE
ACTIVITY FOCUSED OVER THE SOUTHEAST BERING AND ALASKA PENINSULA
AS THE NEXT SYSTEM APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC. THIS SYSTEM
IS NOT WELL HANDLED BY THE MODELS AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE ALASKA
PENINSULA ON FRIDAY...WITH SOME GUIDANCE TRACKING THE LOW RAPIDLY
INTO THE EASTERN BERING AND OTHER MODELS KEEPING IT SOUTH OF THE
AKPEN INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS LENDS BELOW AVERAGE CONFIDENCE TO
THE FORECAST BY FRIDAY...PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO WINDS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...A GALE FORCE LOW MOVES NORTH ACROSS
THE ALASKA PENINSULA INTO THE BERING SEA. RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE
MOST STEADY ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW
EXTENDING NORTHWEST THROUGH THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN BERING SEA.
ADDITIONALLY...STRONG SOUTHEAST FLOW TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE LOW
TRACK WILL BRING RAIN TO MAINLY UPSLOPE LOCATIONS FROM SOUTHWEST
ALASKA TO THE GULF COAST REGION.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF 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
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.
WITH RELATIVELY HIGHER PRESSURE INLAND AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
OVER THE BERING SEA...NORTH PACIFIC...AND GULF OF ALASKA...NORTHERLY
WINDS AT THE LOWEST LEVELS OF COOK INLET WILL KEEP THE MAIN
POPULATION CENTERS MOSTLY DRY.
