Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
1128 PM AKDT THU SEP 15 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A broad, mature low is gradually weakening as it shifts eastward along
the eastern Aleutian Islands this afternoon. Ahead of the low,
southerly onshore flow is bringing a moist airmass inland over
southern Alaska. Instability associated with the colder air moving
in aloft is supporting isolated shower activity over the Cook
Inlet area. On the other side of the Kenai mountains however,
steadier and heavier rain associated with a frontal boundary is
moving inland over the Prince William Sound and eastern Kenai
Peninsula. Over the southwest mainland, a trough moving inland is
pushing a line of showers through the Bristol Bay area over the
Kuskokwim Mountains and towards the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. High
pressure edging in to the Bering Sea from eastern Siberia is
increasing the pressure gradient over the Bering, supporting gusty
gale force winds north of the low center.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models are in fairly good synoptic agreement through Friday, then
start to differ in the handling of a polar low that drops down
through southwestern Alaska through Saturday night. The NAM is
slightly faster with the approach of the low than the GFS. A
middle of the road solution was used with a blend of both models.
The main forecast implications of this was an adjustment to the
timing and strength of the gale force winds wrapping around the
back side of the low over the Alaska Peninsula and the surrounding
waters through Saturday night. On a smaller scale, models are
struggling with the handling of the impulses of energy moving
through Southcentral Alaska tomorrow, resulting in some
model discrepancies in the exact placement of showers.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
As a weakening gale force front will dissipate near Prince
William Sound this evening, winds and rain stretching from the
north Gulf coast into Southcentral will begin to diminish by late
this evening. This will bring only a short lived period of quiet
weather as an upper level trough approaching the western Gulf
will bring a return to the clouds and showers to most of the area
by late tonight. Winds from this system will be notably lighter
than today however as there will only a weak surface low
associated with it. As a result the rainfall rates will be much
less than what was experienced last night as dynamics will be much
weaker. On Saturday, conditions should begin to clear as the upper
level trough axis passes to the east, allowing for a brief period
of shortwave ridging.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The broad area of low pressure is located over the Eastern
Aleutians, and continues to track eastward heading into the
weekend. By Friday morning this system becomes elongated, and
will be located over the Alaska Peninsula extending northward
into the Y-K Delta region. This produces a showery weather regime
as weak shortwaves track through the Southwest Alaska region.
Look for the winds to strengthen with cooler air filtering in
from the north producing gusty northwesterly winds along the
Kuskokwim/Bristol Bay heading into Friday afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The Bering will be dominated by gusty northerly winds as the
986 mb surface low located just east of Unalaska as it continues
to track eastward this evening. Meanwhile, look for the winds
shifting more northwesterly through majority of the Bering, and
the Aleutians. This synoptic feature will produce gusty gale
force gap winds through the Eastern Aleutians by early Friday
evening through Saturday morning time-frame. This pattern will
produce a showery weather regime through the next several days.
As the low tracks eastward along the eastern Bering/Aleutians,
look for cooler temperatures to create an unstable environment.
This will enhance the chances for possible thunderstorms over the
aforementioned region tonight.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

Beginning the long term period on Saturday evening, the flow will
becoming more progressive as a split trough across Alaska gives
way to a progressive shortwave ridge over the eastern Bering Sea.
The main trough of interest will be a digging shortwave trough
centered over Kodiak Island. This trough will be quickly moving
into the southeast Gulf of Alaska Saturday night and Sunday,
allowing for the Bering ridge axis to slide east by Sunday
evening. This will allow for drying and partly clearing skies as
another large trough across the far western Bering Sea tracks a
rather impressive warm front toward the Bering Strait.

This is the point in the extended forecast where things get rather
interesting. Both the GFS and ECMWF deterministic and ensembles
are depicting a rather impressive amplification of the northeast
Pacific ridge Monday and into the late portions of the week. In
conjunction with this will be a series of very low amplitude
tropical/subtropical low level diabatic anomalies progressing east
along the Pacific jet stream which will be pushing 150+ knots by
midweek. Standardized anomalies in some model runs are pushing 2-3
sigmas with respect to precipitable waters whereas the GFS
ensemble mean depicts 30-50% chance of PW values pushing +1 sigma.
The combination of impressive baroclinic dynamics, strong
polar/subtropical jet streams, and high latent energy in the form
of moisture condensation *may* set the stage for a very active
pattern for southern Alaska Tuesday through Thursday. What is
known is a moderate gale force front will quickly move across the
Bering into southwest Alaska by Monday night, but what is less
known is what happens with that front by midweek. The details are
subtle but important, but it should be noted that the amount if
energy available means the potential exists for strong lows to
impact southern Alaska, and there is such high moisture values
that coastal flooding is also a possibility. Once again, there is
much uncertainty with the details, but the large scale pattern is
becoming more favorable for the potential for significant weather
by midweek.
