Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
435 AM AKST Tue Nov 22 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Two lows are responsible for the majority of the active weather
for the area. The first is in the southern Gulf that is bringing
rain to Kodiak Island and the northern Gulf. The other low is
tracking east through the western Bering with its associated front
stretching across the northern Bering through the eastern Bering
and Alaska Peninsula. Enough warm air was pulled up ahead of the
front to bring rain to the Aleutians as it passed. Ahead of the
front weak ridging is helping with stratus and fog formation in
areas around southwest Alaska.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models are in good agreement with the major features until the
mid term where there is disagreement on a low moving through the
northern Bering. These differences will factor into the timing of
the low's associated front as it moves across the Eastern
Aleutians and Pribilof Islands and how much precipitation will
fall. For this system the NAM and GFS were preferred which have
middle ground timing and lower precipitation amounts.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The low moving into the Gulf of Alaska from the east is weakening
and will only push some high clouds inland for part of the day as
high pressure remains to the north over the mainland part of the
state. The IR satellite shows what looks at first like a
significant amount of lifting with this low, but surface
observations along the Gulf coast show very high ceilings (if at
all) indicating that the IR satellite is mostly detecting high
clouds which show up very well on the IR band. As this low begins
to exit the Gulf to the south tonight it will leave a large area
of clear skies over southcentral Alaska the next few days.

&&

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

A weakening front over the eastern Bering Sea will stall near
Nunivak Island this afternoon which will help bring increased snow
chances to the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay areas. With much
of the synoptic forcing offshore, coverage in snow showers should
be quite scattered at best but it's well within the realm of
possibilities a few locations may get a dusting between King
Salmon and Dillingham. A few flurries have been observed near
Bethel this morning which is likely due to some low clouds that
have resided over the area. These low clouds are in the snow
growth zone and with forcing from the front edging eastward a few
flurries have developed. The flurries should not last long this
morning as drier air aloft will limit snowfall processes.
Otherwise, snow chances will continue across the Bristol Bay area
through Wednesday morning while the rest of Southwest Alaska
remains on the dry side. Below normal temperatures will continue
through Wednesday before a slight warming trend will be observed
on Friday.

&&

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

A gale force front continues to push across the eastern Bering Sea
this morning as the parent low has now entered the far western
Bering Sea. A nice stinger jet on the back side of the low is
helping to produce winds of 50 to 55 kts near Shemya and wave
heights approaching 35 to 40 ft. The core of stronger winds will
continue to shift east/southeast throughout the day while
gradually weakening with wind gusts in the 50 to 60 mph range over
Adak and Atka. The front will stall out just to the west of
Nunivak Island and bend backwards towards Saint Matthew Island
which will help keep gale force winds in the vicinity of the front
through this afternoon before the front quickly falls apart this
evening. The low pressure system over the western Bering will
quickly exit into the western Gulf of Alaska tonight and be
replaced by yet another area of low pressure coming off the
Kamchatka Peninsula. This second low is expected to take a nearly
identical track Wednesday and Thursday to the low currently over
the Bering Sea which will bring another round of gale force winds
to the Aleutian Islands and Bering sea and another period of
moderate rainfall.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
A storm force low near the Kamchatka Peninsula will have an
associated weather front extending through the Central
Aleutians/Bering region by Thu morning. This system then tracks
into the northern Bering by the weekend. Therefore, the
Bering/Aleutians will be under the influence of a showery weather
regime as the aforementioned system becomes almost stationary
before dissipating by late Sunday evening. Meanwhile, a storm
force low develops in the base of the longwave trough located
south of the Western Aleutians. This system eventually gets kicked
out, and tracks just south of the Central Aleutians by Friday
afternoon before being positioned south of the Gulf of Alaska
heading into the weekend. By Thursday evening the Southwest Alaska
region has a weak weather front approaching the Kuskokwim Delta
coastline. This feature moves through the Bristol Bay interior
before falling apart by Friday, and will bring a wintry mix along
the coastline with snow showers inland. At the same time the
Southcentral region remains in offshore flow with the coldest
temperatures remaining in the Copper River Basin. There is a gale
force low tracking into the Gulf by Friday afternoon before
dissipating by Saturday. The majority of the precipitation will
remain in the the northern Gulf and coastal areas.

The models remain in decent agreement with the storm tracks of
the different synoptic systems, but have discrepancies in the
placement of the surface lows. Therefore, the forecast confidence
remains average as we head into the weekend.
