Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
518 PM AKST Wed Nov 30 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The overall upper level pattern remains largely unchanged from the
past few days with the low centered in the Arctic Ocean northwest
of Barrow with a trough over the Bering Sea. The main surface low
is centered over the Alaska Peninsula which is elongating to the
northeast and over the western Gulf of Alaska. This pattern has
caused the tight pressure gradient that was across the north Gulf
coast to ease up although southwest mainland Alaska and Cook
Inlet pressure gradients remain fairly tight.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
As has been the case the past few days the models are doing well
on the synoptic scale features with the differences in details
being the main issue. Overall the GFS/ECMWF solution pushing the
baroclinic zone farther westward looks to be correct as snowfall
occurred farther west into the Bristol Bay region. This is even
farther west than these two models showed but better than the
NAM/Canadian solutions from yesterday that showed it over northern
Cook Inlet.

From here the big question will be how the system transitions over
the next day from warm advection over Cook Inlet and the Mat-Su
valleys to cold advection over these areas. The take away here is
that the NAM is keeping the tightest packing of 850 mb isotherms
over northern Cook Inlet and the Matanuska valley while the GFS
is keeping the tightest area farther westward. This area of
greatest cold advection will correlate with the heaviest
snowfall. The GFS solution has been superior so far for this
system and will likely be more correct bringing lesser amounts of
snowfall for most of Southcentral Alaska. Farther west models are
all performing quite reasonably.

&&

.AVIATION...
In spite of some light snowfall, conditions at PANC should remain
VFR to marginal VFR through the night and into tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening are a little more of a wild card as
this system evolves as it likely will remain at VFR or MVFR
conditions, but there is a chance some more snowfall will move
over the area and bring IFR conditions for Thursday afternoon and
evening.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A frontal system in the northern Gulf will continue to lift north
and onshore across Prince William Sound and the northern Gulf
Coast this evening. Easterly Gales in Prince William Sound and
along the northern Gulf Coast and north to northeasterly Gales
through the Barren Islands and Southern Cook Inlet will taper off
overnight after the front has made landfall. Snow will be heavy at
times along and near the northern Gulf Coast and coastal Mountains,
especially in areas such as western Prince William Sound where
easterly flow hitting the mountains will orographically enhance
precipitation. Further inland, light snow is likely both with the
frontal system itself as it lifts north tonight and with a
secondary trough setting up along the eastern Kenai Peninsula and
Prince William Sound Thursday.

Another trough rotates through Thursday night bringing additional
complexity and snow chances to the forecast. At the moment it
looks like the better precipitation chances run along a north to
south band extending up Cook Inlet and across the western Susitna
Valley, however, confidence is low in this level of detail given
how much the models have been struggling with similar patterns
recently. On the larger scale, the next strong low spins up south
of the Gulf Thursday and tracks through the eastern Gulf Thursday
night and Friday. In addition to strengthening westerly to north
westerly winds across the waters, the biggest impact from this
system to Southcentral Alaska will be rapidly increasing offshore
winds...particularly through coastal terrain gaps.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A surface low moving along the Alaska Peninsula will initiate rain
and snow showers along the peninsula with a few snow showers
developing and moving into Bristol Bay. Accumulations up to two
inches are mainly expected along the eastern peninsula and
Aleutian range. Gusty winds continue across the Kuskokwim Delta
and Bristol Bay tonight then trend down across the Delta later
Thursday as the pressure gradient shifts east. A surface low
developing near the Bering strait on Thursday will bring increased
chances for snow along the Alaska Peninsula and Kuskokwim Delta
Thursday night into Friday. Inland areas should stay be drier due
to weak ridge development between low pressure in the Gulf and
Bering.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Low pressure traverses the Alaska Peninsula tonight and is followed
by a cold air mass advecting in from the Arctic tonight into
Thursday. This gale force Arctic front will bring chances for snow
tonight across the east and central Bering. Stronger wind gusts up
to storm force will impact area waters and bays on the south side
of the Alaska Peninsula on Thursday night. Another surface low
moves the next front into the Western Aleutians Thursday night
with slow eastward progress. This system should bring light snow
showers to the Aleutians early Friday with the front moving into
the central areas of the bering late day.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
As we approach the weekend, high pressure will continue to build
in across mainland Alaska, with low pressure remaining in the
Gulf of Alaska. This will help to support strong gusty offshore
flow across much of the Gulf of Alaska, with particularly strong
winds occurring across Kodiak Island, Shelikof Straight, and the
Barren Islands. This will continue to support strong cold air
advection and plummeting temperatures this weekend, with likely
the coldest temperatures of the season so far.

By early next week, a pattern change will begin to bring slightly
warmer temperatures back to the Alaska mainland as a trough begins
to push across the Southwest Mainland. This will help to bring
more moderate temperatures to the region with widespread clouds
and southerly flow across the Southwest Mainland. It will also
help to dramatically decrease the pressure gradient between the
mainland and Gulf of Alaska and stop the offshore flow and strong
cold air advection.
