Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
448 PM AKDT TUE OCT 18 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
An upper level low is centered south of the Alaska Peninsula with
a deepening surface low to the east being pulled back toward the
upper center. A warm front extending northward from the surface
low is tracking westward across the western Gulf into Bristol Bay
and along the Alaska Peninsula. Precip is falling as snow on the
leading edge, but much warmer air behind the front is leading to
a fairly quick transition to rain. A strong short-wave and jet
streak have rounded the upper trough (south of the low center)
and are headed northeastward toward the eastern Gulf. This is
helping drive a trailing surface front northward toward the Gulf,
with the front becoming oriented east- west as it nears the Gulf.
The deepening low and approaching front are leading to rapidly
strengthening winds across the western to central Gulf, Kodiak
Island and on westward across Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula.

Out west, cold advection on the back side of the upper trough has
largely ended. Thus, showers are diminishing across the Eastern
Bering and Aleutians, with an upstream ridge maintaining benign
conditions farther west. On the other side of the ridge a weak
low and upper short-wave are tracking eastward toward the western
Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Numerical guidance has all converged toward a common solution with
most major features and overall forecast confidence is fairly high.
The one notable exception is the triple point low which is
forecast to develop over the Northeast Pacific later today and
then track westward across the Gulf Wednesday. Solutions are now
grouped in the same general region, but differences in track and
depth remain. Thus, forecast confidence over the Gulf and Kodiak
Island is lower Tonight through Wednesday Night.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will persist. The wind forecast is a little
more uncertain. A strong core of northerly winds will be over northern
Cook Inlet with PANC sitting on the eastern periphery. For now,
will stick with the idea that winds will lighten up during the
evening and remain light through Wednesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
An upper level closed low remains just south of Kodiak Island with
associated shortwaves spinning around this feature before tracking
northward into the northern Gulf. This synoptic feature is
reflected at the surface as a 971 mb low located near Chirikof
Island with an associated weather front extending just east of
Kodiak Island this evening. Therefore, widespread rain and warmer
temperatures with gusty winds over the aforementioned region is
streaming westward over the Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian
Range. Scatterometer Wind imagery is depicting gale force
southeasterly winds on the east side of Kodiak Island, and
northeasterly gale force winds through the Shelikof Strait this
evening. As this system strengthens, look for storm force winds to
develop on the southern end of Kodiak Island, and the Shelikof
Strait region tonight through Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, as a
secondary low develops in the northern Gulf by Wednesday, this
will result in storm force easterly winds towards the Barren
Islands. The majority of the precipitation will remain along the
northern coastal communities with this system.

&&

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

The low south of the Alaska Peninsula (AKPEN) is in the process
of becoming vertically stacked beneath the upper low that has
dropped down from the north. As the surface low center continues
backing in toward the south side of the AKPEN this evening the
biggest story will be strong northerly winds ramping up through
the complex terrain of the AKPEN. If this were later in the
winter with a true cold and dense Arctic airmass in the equation,
this pattern would likely result in warning-level winds through
the AKPEN, but in this case there just isn't enough cold air yet
to help accelerate winds in the lowest levels of the atmosphere.
This will help keep winds more subdued.

The warm front associated with this storm is pushing through the
Bristol Bay zone currently with a narrow band of snow currently
falling from Dillingham up through New Stuyahok and interior
Bristol Bay zone. We are not expecting any significant
accumulations, in part because temperatures will be rising to
near or above freezing in many locations this evening, but some
places in the furthest north and west portions of the zone could
see a quick inch or so of snow. The entirety of the storm will
drift back southward later tonight, so precipitation and the gusty
winds will not make it very far into either the Kuskokwim Delta or
the lower Kuskokwim Valley.

&&

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

The far eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands will feel the
impact of the storm near the Alaska Peninsula through tomorrow
morning before the storm retreats southward and back out to the
ocean. Temperatures have warmed enough to switch snow back to rain
near Dutch Harbor and points eastward, so expect the main impact
from this storm to be continued gusty north winds through midday
Wednesday or so.

By tomorrow afternoon, a weak low will have moved into the
western Bering with winds generally less than 30 kt. This low
pressure isn't very organized and doesn't have much support from
the upper atmosphere, so it should not be much of an impact as it
moves to the central Aleutians Thursday morning and out to sea in
the north Pacific by Thursday afternoon...allowing northerly flow
and a re-supply of cold air to overtake the eastern 2/3 of the
Bering for the latter half of the week.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Thursday night a trough will push through the southern mainland
from the northwest bringing a strong push of cold air with it.
However, it will be relatively dry and is not expected to bring
much snow at this time. Behind the trough, ridging will build in
from the Bering and the combination of the trough, cold air, and
the ridge will bring outflow winds to Southcentral Alaska from
late Friday into early next week.

The biggest question mark for the extended timeframe is what will
happen with a low moving into the Bering early next week. The
models all agree that a low will come in, but there are
significant disagreements on timing, intensity, and location.
One of those is a 40 mb difference of the low center between some
of the models leading to low confidence in how deep this system
will be. Because of these differences the ensembles were
preferred.
