SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 424 PM AKST SAT JAN 16 2016 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A STRONG VERTICALLY STACKED LOW CENTERED A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA REMAINS THE PRIMARY LARGE- SCALE FEATURE AFFECTING THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE LOW HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL DAYS NOW...AND SLOW FILLING HAS COMMENCED AS NEXT TO NO BAROCLINICITY REMAINS NEAR THE LOW CENTER. TWO FRONTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW...ONE STRETCHING ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE ALEUTIANS...AND THE OTHER MOVING INTO THE WESTERN GULF COAST. WHILE NEITHER FRONT HAS AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE WITH IT...THE ONE OVER THE GULF IS TRANSPORTING WARMER...MORE MOIST AIR BEHIND IT. THAT FRONT IS THUS WRINGING OUT STEADIER LIGHT PRECIPITATION AS SHOWN BY THE MIDDLETON ISLAND RADAR THAT IS MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THE FRONT ALONG THE ALEUTIANS HAS WINDS GUSTING TO 45 MPH AT TIMES...BUT OTHER THAN SOME LOCALLY DEPRESSED CEILINGS AND A FEW AREAS OF LIGHT RAINFALL...THOSE ARE MOST IMPACTFUL OF THE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... THE BROAD AGREEMENT AMONG THE MODELS CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON...AS THE LARGE-SCALE PATTERN REMAINS BLOCKED. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS ALSO CONTINUE TO BE TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH SMALLER SCALE DISTURBANCES IN THE BROAD FLOW...NAMELY HOW QUICKLY AND HOW STRONG A COUPLE FRONTS MOVING EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF AND INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND BRISTOL BAY END UP. SINCE THE DISAGREEMENTS ARE SMALL...THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS WERE CHOSEN TO CAPTURE THE SMALL SCALE EFFECTS...TRANSITIONING TO THE GLOBAL MODELS FURTHER OUT. FORECAST CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... THE FRONT STRETCHING ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH ANOTHER WAVE APPROACHING THE AREA COME MONDAY. CLOUDY CONDITIONS HAVE INCREASED OVER MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL AS THE FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHEAST...WITH PRECIPITATION ALREADY STARTING UP ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. MANY PLACES WILL START OUT AS SNOW BUT WILL THEN BEGIN TO WARM ENOUGH TO SEE SOME RAIN MIX IN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA...ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST...AND OVER THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA SOUTH OF CLAM GULCH. THIS WILL LIMIT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS FOR THE MOST PART OVER THESE AREAS. THERE IS GOOD POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THIS NEW SNOW TO BLOW THROUGH THOMPSON PASS THIS EVENING...SO BE PREPARED FOR REDUCED VISIBILITIES AT TIMES IF TRAVELING THROUGH THE PASS. SNOW WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT OVER INLAND AREAS TONIGHT AS THE FRONT WEAKENS AND SOME CROSS-BARRIER FLOW KEEPS THINGS DRIER IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER...WITH THE CROSS- BARRIER FLOW WEAKENING AS THIS DECAYING FRONT PIVOTS FROM EAST TO WEST INTO SUNDAY...SHOULD CAUSE SOME PRECIPITATION TO SPILL OVER SOME INLAND AREAS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL REMAIN QUITE LIMITED AS THIS FRONT IS DECAYING...AND THE OVERALL FLOW BEGINS TO SHIFT TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST. WINDS WILL ALSO DIMINISH AS THE GRADIENT WEAKENS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. OUR ATTENTION THEN SHIFTS TO ANOTHER SYSTEM TRACKING SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST ACROSS THE EASTERN GULF TO START THE WORK WEEK. THIS SYSTEM HOLDS THE POTENTIAL TO BRING GUSTY WINDS BACK UP ALONG PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE NORTHERN GULF COAST...ALONG WITH MORE PRECIPITATION. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)... THE MAIN DRIVER OF THE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE A WEAKENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS ANCHOR LOW WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AS IT SLOWLY MEANDERS EASTWARD AS THE BULK OF THE JET ENERGY (STEERING CURRENTS) PASSES WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO ACT IN UNISON WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE ARCTIC TO ACT AS A BLOCKING PATTERN...WHICH WILL KEEP MUCH OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA ON THE QUIET AND CALM SIDE. A SMALL PIECE OF ENERGY FROM THE NORTHERN STREAM HAS BROKEN OFF AND HAS PUSHED ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA (EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY). THIS PIECE OF ENERGY WILL HELP CREATE SOME SNOW SHOWERS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA THIS EVENING BEFORE PUSHING OFFSHORE OVER THE BERING SEA. A LITTLE BIT OF JET SUPPORT ATTACHED TO THIS UPPER WAVE WILL HELP GRADUAL STRENGTHENING OVER THE BERING SEA UNTIL A SFC LOW DEVELOPS IN RESPONSE OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS ON MONDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...AS THE SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA WEAKENS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL FOLLOW SUIT. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE DECREASE OF WIND SPEEDS ACROSS COASTAL LOCATIONS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST THROUGH THIS EVENING UNTIL WINDS WEAKEN SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSPORT SNOW. VISIBILITIES COULD DROP AS LOW AS ONE HALF MILE BRIEFLY THIS EVENING MAINLY NEAR THE TOKSOOK AREA WHERE THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE BEING OBSERVED DUE TO THE FAVORABLE WIND DIRECTION. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)... AN UNCHARACTERISTIC PERIOD OF QUIET WEATHER LOOKS TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE BERING SEA THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE STORM TRACK KEEPS ANY MAJOR SYSTEMS WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA. COME MONDAY NIGHT...THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL DEVELOP A SURFACE REFLECTION AND HELP COMPACT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TO PRODUCE GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE WESTERN BERING SEA AND PARTS OF THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE SHOWERY IN NATURE DUE TO THE LACK OF ANY LARGE SCALE LIFTING MECHANISMS UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT WHERE PRECIPITATION NEAR THE DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WILL BE MORE STRATIFORM IN NATURE. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL LARGELY FAVOR SNOW ON SUNDAY BUT TRANSITION TO RAIN FROM EAST TO WEST ON MONDAY WITH THE LOW MOVING WESTWARD ACROSS THE BERING SEA. QUITE A FEW LAND AREAS COULD EXPECT TO SEE UPWARD TO AN INCH OF SNOW FROM TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND PRIBILOF ISLANDS. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)... BY MONDAY EVENING THE VERY LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW COMPLEX ROTATING AROUND THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL BE CENTERED NEAR 53N. THE UPPER TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL BE SWINGING OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA AROUND THIS TIME WITH ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WEAKENS AND DISSIPATES. THERE IS STILL A FAIR BIT OF MODEL DISAGREEMENT REGARDING THE TRACK OF THIS SURFACE FEATURE WHICH COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO WINDS IN THE NORTHERN GULF COASTAL WATERS AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. GIVEN THE BROAD SCALE UPPER LOW TO THE SOUTH...PREFERRING A TRACK THAT TAKES THE LOW INLAND AROUND THE CENTRAL KENAI PENINSULA. TO THE EAST THE NEXT LOW WILL ROTATE NORTH JUST OFFSHORE OF HAIDA GWAII MONDAY NIGHT WITH A COLDER UPPER LOW TO THE WEST CENTERED AROUND AMCHITKA PASS. A RATHER STRONG LOW DEEPENING AS IT TRACKS EAST ALONG 40N WILL BRING THE BEGINNINGS OF A PATTERN SHIFT AS IT CROSSES FROM 170W TO 160W MONDAY NIGHT AND BECOMES CAUGHT UP IN THE BROAD LOW COMPLEX. THIS NEW SYSTEM WILL QUICKLY TAKE OVER AS THE DOMINANT CIRCULATION RAPIDLY WEAKENS OUT THE OLDER LOWS AND TROUGHS TO THE NORTH. AS THE SOUTHERN LOW BECOMES VERTICALLY STACKED AROUND TUESDAY IT WILL MAKE A TURN TO THE NORTHEAST...LIFTING INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF FOR THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY TIME PERIOD AND TO CENTRAL GULF BY THURSDAY NIGHT OR FRIDAY. UPSTREAM THE RESULT WILL BE A SHIFT TO THE NORTH OF THE STORM TRACK FOR THE NEW SYSTEMS COMING IN FROM THE WEST PARALLEL BUT SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS THROUGH THE END OF WEEK. AS WE MOVE INTO THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...MORE OF A SOUTHWESTERLY GENERAL FLOW PATTERN WILL PUSH INTO THE GULF WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A MORE ACTIVE STORM TRACK INTO THE GULF FOLLOWING. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
