Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
422 PM AKDT WED SEP 7 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
One quick look at the satellite reveals that it is indeed Fall in
Alaska. A cold core upper level low is swinging through Southwest
Alaska while there is plenty of activity riding along a swift
moving sub-tropical jet between 40N and 55N. South of the jet
there is plenty of tropical convection, to include the remnants of
former Hurricane Lester. So the 100+ knot jet represents a rough
dividing line between these two regimes.

On the eastern edge of the upper level low, low clouds and light
rain have been plaguing areas from Iliamna through the Susitna
Valley today. From the Cook Inlet through the Copper River Basin,
low clouds are finally starting to burn off and allow some
sunshine to break through. A weak shortwave in advance of the main
low is taking advantage of the instability associated with this
sunshine and triggering some weak showers across the Kenai
Peninsula and the Matanuska Valley. On the backside of the low,
some cold air aloft (-26C at 500mb) is triggering more showers
through Bristol Bay. A broad ridge over most of the Bering is
making for widespread marine stratus and some patchy fog.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The GFS model was preferred by all forecasters today. It has shown
good run to run consistency and represents a more moderate middle
ground among the models when compared to the NAM. Forecast
confidence is moderate to high in the overall synoptic pattern.
Some areas where there is a bit more uncertainty is with
convective potential along the mountains of South Central this
afternoon/evening and the progression of the low as it tracks
through the northern Gulf of AK Thu-Fri. First, some models are
showing the possibility of thunderstorms across much of the South
Central mountains later today. But with widespread low clouds
early today, instability will be limited. Have leaned the forecast
towards the more conservative models. Secondly, there is some
difference on how the energy from former Hurricane Lester affects
the Fri low in the Northern Gulf. The NAM is the outlier keeping
the energy slightly further east. The GFS and EC show the energy
"phasing" to some extent with the upper level low over the
Northern Gulf. This leads to a stronger surface low with gale-
force winds. This forecast trends towards the stronger solutions.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

Southcentral is beginning to come under the influence of a closed
upper low over southwest Alaska with weak waves of energy moving
east around the eastern flank. This is helping to enhance some
afternoon convective showers, especially near the Alaska Range and
Talkeetna Mountains. Instability looks rather marginal, so any
thunderstorm threats will likely be relegated to a slight chance
across those aforementioned areas through early this evening.

Heading into Thursday, the closed upper low will drift east over
Cook Inlet, with continued shower threats across inland areas. A
deepening North Pacific low, along with the remnants of post-
tropical Lester, will merge with the closed low and form into a
rather deep Gulf of Alaska low Thursday night and Friday. This
will remain far enough south to keep the pressure gradient
offshore which will result in a dramatic uptick in offshore winds,
especially along the coast. Rapid inland drying will develop
Friday afternoon in conjunction with the offshore flow.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

As the upper level low crosses the Alaska and Aleutian ranges
tonight into Thu, bands of showers will move across the region.
High pressure will build in from the north Thu night behind a weak
front. This will end the showers and maintain generally clear and
dry conditions through Fri.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

Showers along the Aleutian chain will slowly diminish through Thu,
when high pressure builds in from the north. Thu night into Fri
will see rain from a north Pacific low spread across the western
and central Aleutians. This precipitation will be accompanied by
small craft and gale force winds during the period.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Forecast thinking in the extended term is largely unchanged from
the past few days. A pleasant start to the weekend is in store for
Southcentral AK as a high amplitude ridge builds into the region
on Saturday in the wake of a departing trough. Conditions will
then quickly change by Sunday as guidance continues to show good
agreement on a North Pacific low crossing the eastern Aleutians
on Sunday and moving over the southwest mainland Sunday night,
with an associated front moving through the Gulf of Alaska. This
model consistency lends increasing confidence that much of the
southern mainland will see a period of steady rain beginning
Sunday and lasting through Monday night. The potential for strong
southeast gap winds through Turnagain Arm and other favored areas
will also require additional forecast scrutiny in the coming days
as the low center is projected to take a favorable track near
Nunivak Island on Sunday night. Confidence begins to decrease
towards the middle of next week as the system departs to the
east, however a fairly progressive flow pattern and another Bering
low approaching from the west will generally support a continued
chance of rain across much of the region well into next week.
