SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
432 PM AKST MON JAN 11 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN COAST OF NORTH AMERICA
WHICH EXTENDS OVER THE ALCAN BORDER AND INTO THE CHUKCHI SEA IS
STARTING TO WEAKEN AND SHIFT EASTWARD. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
REMAINS ELONGATED...STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN BERING SEA TO
SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. THERE IS A SURFACE LOW NEAR BRISTOL
BAY AND A WEAK LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS LOW IN THE GULF
WILL WEAKEN INTO AN INVERTED TROUGH THAT EXTENDS INTO SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A STRONG LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU IS
ELONGATING WITH A TRIPLE POINT LOW TO ITS SOUTHEAST. THE FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE LOWS WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER IN THE CENTRAL
AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST ALASKA. HOWEVER THE FORECAST FROM THE NORTHERN KENAI
PENINSULA THROUGH THE SUSITNA VALLEY...INCLUDING THE ANCHORAGE
BOWL AND MATANUSKA VALLEY IS FILLED WITH UNCERTAINTY. ON
YESTERDAYS RUNS ALL THE MODELS BEGAN TO DETECT A DEFORMATION ZONE
DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHCENTRAL SOMETIME BETWEEN TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. THERE WAS A TIMING DIFFERENCE AS WELL AS UNCERTAINTY IN
PRECIPITATION TYPE AND AMOUNTS. TODAYS RUNS ARE STARTING TO SHED A
LITTLE MORE LIGHT ON THE SITUATION BUT NONE ARE PROBABLY
COMPLETELY CORRECT. ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A DEFORMATION
ZONE SNOW BAND IS THAT IT IS LONG AND RELATIVELY NARROW...LESS
THAN 100 MILES WIDE. THESE ALSO TEND TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY
AND THEREFORE CAN CAUSE LARGE DIFFERENCES IN PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS
OVER A SMALL AREA. FROM THIS MORNINGS RUNS THE GFS AND NAM WERE
STILL LOCATING THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION OVER ANCHORAGE
AND THE SOUTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY AND KEEPING IT AS SNOW.
HISTORICALLY THE MORE COMMON SITUATION IS FOR THE DEFORMATION BAND
TO MOVE IN FROM THE EAST AND PRODUCE A PERIOD OF SNOWFALL OVER
ANCHORAGE BEFORE PUSHING WESTWARD AND HAVING THE MAJORITY FALL
OVER THE INLET. THE 18Z NAM RUN IS STARTING TO HINT AT THIS
SCENARIO UNFOLDING...AND IS THE PREFERRED MODEL EAST OF THE ALASKA
RANGE. THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS WILL BE INSPECTED CLOSELY TO SEE
WHERE THE MOST LIKELY PATH FOR THIS BAND TO DEVELOP IS LOCATED.

IN THE BERING SEA AND ALEUTIAN AREAS THE MODELS ARE IMPROVING IN
THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THE LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU AND THE
ASSOCIATED TRIPLE POINT LOW SOUTH OF AMCHITKA. THE ECMWF SOLUTION
WAS THE ONE PREFERRED WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
MOIST SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...CONTINUING TO WEAKEN TONIGHT AND THEN STRENGTHENING
SLIGHTLY TUESDAY NIGHT. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL FALL OVER
THE COASTAL AREAS AS IT IS "SQUEEZED OUT" BY THE COASTAL
MOUNTAINS. THERE WILL BE BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION GETTING
TO INLAND AREAS BEGINNING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS THE FIRST OF A
SERIES OF WAVES TRACK NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF AND THROUGH THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST. MODELS HAVE BEEN HINTING AT A DEFORMATION
BAND SETTING UP OVER PARTS OF SOUTHCENTRAL SINCE YESTERDAY...BUT
HAVE CONTINUED TO STRUGGLE WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE BAND AND
AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION IT WILL DROP. THE MOST RECENT MODEL RUNS
SEEM TO AGREE THAT THIS BAND WILL TRACK OVER THE ANCHORAGE BOWL
BRIEFLY TUESDAY AND SET UP SHOP OFF TO THE WEST BY TUESDAY
NIGHT...KEEPING THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVER THE KENAI
PENINSULA AND PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY. BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND
BEGINS TO PUSH THE DISSIPATING BAND BACK TO THE EAST OVER THE
ANCHORAGE AREA...BRINGING ANOTHER BRIEF PERIOD OF LIGHT
PRECIPITATION.

THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION IN ANCHORAGE IN THE SHORT TERM
IS TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE INITIAL MOISTURE MOVES WEST
ACROSS THE AREA. UNFORTUNATELY THE AIR MASS WILL STILL BE FAIRLY
WARM...ADDING MORE UNCERTAINTY TO THE FORECAST REGARDING
PRECIPITATION TYPE AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.

&&

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

A COMPACT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA
IS SPREADING RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA THIS EVENING.
AS THIS LOW LIFTS NORTH...COLDER AIR WRAPPING IN BEHIND THE LOW
WILL TURN ALL PRECIP TO SNOW AND SNOW SHOWERS...WITH THE ACTIVITY
LASTING THE LONGEST ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WHERE LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED. THIS LOW WILL DEPART BY TUESDAY
EVENING...LEAVING WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY. MORE WIDESPREAD FOG WILL BE A CONCERN WEDNESDAY EVENING
AND NIGHT ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

A STRONG GALE FORCE LOW OVER THE FAR SOUTHWEST BERING WILL LIFT AN
OCCLUDED FRONTAL ZONE EASTWARD ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN...WITH A
SERIES OF SMALLER LOWS FORMING ALONG THAT FRONT. PRECIPITATION
WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY SNOW...BUT SOME RAIN MAY MIX IN AT TIMES.
MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ALONG THE CHAIN...LEAVING
SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS OVER THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL BE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHCENTRAL
REGION BEFORE EXITING THE AOR BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE
SOUTHERLY JET HAS MOVED SLIGHTLY WESTWARD FROM YESTERDAY. IT WILL
BE LOCATED MORE OVER THE WESTERN VALLEY OF THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND THE
ALASKA RANGE. THE ENTRANCE REGION OF THIS JET STREAK WILL ENHANCE
THE POSSIBILITY FOR MORE SNOWFALL AS THIS FEATURE MOVES NORTHWARD.
THE ANCHORAGE BOWL WILL STILL SEE SOME SNOWFALL AS THIS SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. BY THURSDAY A RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO THE
GULF EXTENDING INTO THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION AND THE SOUTHWEST
INTERIOR. THIS WILL RESULT IN DRIER CONDITIONS WITH WARM AIR
ADVECTION ACCOMPANIED BY WARMER TEMPERATURE THROUGHOUT OUR AOR
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND.

ON THE BERING SIDE...A WEAK LOW LOCATED IN THE BERING STRAIT WILL
CONTINUE TO FILL AND DISSIPATE BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. WHILE A LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP JUST SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS
SYSTEM WILL MOVE EASTWARD AND MERGE WITH ANOTHER NORTH PACIFIC LOW
LOCATED SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL/EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY
MORNING. THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL THEN MERGE AND BECOME A BROAD
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY FRIDAY
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WILL PRODUCE A SHOWERY
WEATHER REGIME FOR THE BERING SEA AND THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN FOR REST
OF WEEK AND THE WEEKEND. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH THE
PLACEMENT OF THE BROAD LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING JUST SOUTH
OF THE BERING SEA AND THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. THIS IS RESULTING IN THE
FORECAST CONFIDENCE BEING BELOW AVERAGE THROUGH THIS UPCOMING
WEEKEND.
