SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
446 PM AKST TUE JAN 19 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE GENERAL PATTERN OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER INTERIOR ALASKA
AND AN UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA AND SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA/ALEUTIAN ISLANDS CONTINUES. THERE IS ALSO AN
EXTENSION OF THE UPPER LOW INTO THE BERING SEA. WITHIN THESE UPPER
LOWS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WEATHER DISTURBANCES. THERE IS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE NORTHEAST GULF WITH A DECENT SURFACE
REFLECTION THAT IS MOVING TOWARDS THE WEST. THERE IS AN UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN BERING AND A WEAKER ONE OVER THE
EASTERN BERING. SEVERAL WEAK WAVES ARE SITUATED JUST SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. NORTHERLY FLOW
EXISTS AT THE LOWER LEVELS OVER MUCH OF THE BERING SEA...AND THERE
IS AN OFFSHORE (NORTHERLY) GRADIENT OVER SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY. THERE ARE SOME
MINOR DIFFERENCES IN THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE LOW IN THE NORTHERN
GULF TONIGHT...BUT THIS SHOULD HAVE ONLY MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE
FORECAST. THERE ARE ALSO SOME MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THE FRONT INTO THE ALEUTIANS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE
ECMWF BEING FASTER THAN THE OTHER MODELS. THIS WILL ALSO ONLY HAVE
A MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE FORECAST. THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS THUS
ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH REMAINS ENTRENCHED ACROSS MUCH OF
ALASKA WHILE BECOMING MORE NEGATIVELY TILTED AS WE HEAD INTO THE
LATER PART OF THE WEEK. WEAK CUT-OFF LOWS CONTINUE TO BREAK AWAY
FROM THE JET...WHICH CONTINUES TO DRIVE VERY ACTIVE WEATHER INTO
THE PACIFIC NW AND EVENTUALLY TO THE GULF OF ALASKA. OFFSHORE
FLOW CONTINUES TO DOMINATE MUCH OF THE AREA...GIVING A BRIEF SHOT
OF DRYING AND CLEARING CONDITIONS MAINLY TO THE INLAND AREAS
AROUND SOUTHCENTRAL. OTHERWISE...CLOUDY SKIES WILL BEGIN TO BUILD
BACK IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST AS THE NEXT SYSTEM ENTERS THE GULF THIS
EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF GUSTY WINDS
THROUGH MANY OF THE SAME AREAS WHICH HAVE SEEN GUSTY WINDS OVER
THE PAST FEW DAYS...INCLUDING THE MATANUSKA VALLEY...THOMPSON
PASS...AND THE TURNAGAIN ARM. IT WILL ALSO BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
PRECIPITATION INTO COASTAL AREAS...WITH WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND AND THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA POISED TO RECEIVE THE BULK
OF IT. PRECIPITATION MAY START AS SNOW ALONG COASTAL AREAS...BUT
SHOULD TURN OVER TO RAIN AS THIS SYSTEM BRINGS UP ANOTHER POCKET
OF WARMER AIR. SADLY FOR THE SNOW LOVERS...IT LOOKS LIKE CROSS
BARRIER FLOW WILL ONCE AGAIN KEEP MUCH OF THE AREAS SURROUNDING
COOK INLET MOSTLY DRY.

&&

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

NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA IN THE
COMING DAYS WHICH WILL KEEP THE MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST ON THE
DRY SIDE. HOWEVER A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TONIGHT AND
AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL HELP ADVECT MOISTURE ACROSS THE
ALEUTIAN RANGE. THE DISTURBANCE COUPLED WITH THIS MOISTURE SHOULD
BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY ACROSS THE
BRISTOL BAY AREA. THE NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP THE SFC LAYER
PRETTY DRY...LEADING TO LITTLE OR NO SNOW ACCUMULATION. SNOW
CHANCES WILL BE A TOUCH HIGHER ON WEDNESDAY AS AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA AND TOWARD KODIAK
ISLAND. THIS LARGER FEATURE WILL PROVIDE A BETTER LIFTING
MECHANISM WHICH WOULD SUPPORT MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWER ACTIVITY.

&&

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

SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE IN THE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF THE BERING
SEA THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL WEAK IMPULSES WILL TRAVERSE THE
LONGWAVE PATTERN. IN ADDITION...NORTHEASTERLY WIND WILL HELP
ADVECT A COLDER AIR MASS FROM THE CHUKCHI SEA REGION LEADING TO
DECENT MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES TO FURTHER HELP DEVELOP SHOWERS.
LOCALIZED CONCENTRATIONS OF SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AS A STRONGER IMPULSE
WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A DEVELOPING
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN PACIFIC WILL SWING A
WARM FRONT ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THIS WILL
HELP PRODUCE SNOW WHICH WILL QUICKLY TRANSITION TO RAIN AND WARMER
AIR IS ADVECTED NORTHWARD. THE FRONT WILL BE ONLY PRODUCE GALE
FORCE WINDS ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE IN THE LOW 960 MB RANGE AS
BACKGROUND PRESSURE FIELD REMAIN WEAK AND THE GRADIENT WILL NOT BE
SUPER TIGHT.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

ACROSS THE GULF THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...AN ORGANIZED LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL ANCHOR ITSELF IN THE REGION...BRINGING RAIN
AND SOME SNOW ALONG GULF COASTAL LOCATIONS...INCLUDING
KODIAK...WHILE A GALE-FORCE WINDS ALONG A DECAYING FRONT SLOWLY
DIMINISHES. MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INLAND WITH HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING ALOFT THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD. OUTFLOW WINDS
WILL ALSO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NORTH-SOUTH PASSES BETWEEN THE
COLDER INLAND AREAS AND WARMER AIR MASS OVER THE GULF...BUT DO NOT
LOOK TO BECOME PARTICULARLY STRONG AT THIS TIME.

TO THE WEST...A NORTH PACIFIC LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE A FRONT NORTH ACROSS
THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
BERING THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WHILE THE PRIMARY LOW MOVES
EAST TO THE SOUTH OF THE CHAIN. ACROSS THE NORTH AND EASTERN
BERING THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED AS RIDGING SLOWLY SHIFTS NORTH AHEAD OF THE STORM SYSTEM.
WINDS WILL STAY GENERALLY FROM THE NORTH AND EAST AS THE FRONT
REMAINS SOUTH OF THIS REGION.

MODELS THEN SUGGEST ONE OR TWO STRENGTHENING TRIPLE POINT LOWS
MAY DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC AND MOVE NORTH TOWARD
SOUTHERN ALASKA AND/OR THE SOUTHEAST BERING SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS FAIRLY LOW AT THIS TIME.

THE MAIN IMPACTS WITH THIS PATTERN WILL BE A FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER
REGIME FOR MUCH OF THE REGION THE LATER PART OF THIS WEEK INTO THE
WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE LITTLE SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN
TEMPERATURES...WITH NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES OVER MUCH OF THE REGION...AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES
REMAINING NEAR NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL. STRONGER WINDS TO GALE-FORCE
WILL BE CONFINED TO STRONGER EMBEDDED LOWS WITHIN THE BROAD
CYCLONIC PATTERN.
