SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
434 PM AKST SAT JAN 2 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THOUGH THERE ARE SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN THE UPPER FLOW AS INDIVIDUAL
SYSTEMS MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THE OVERALL PATTERN IS VERY STABLE...
WITH A DEEP ANCHOR LOW OVER EASTERN RUSSIA AND TROUGH EXTENDING
SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE NORTH PACIFIC ALONG WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE
OVER WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. UNDER THIS PATTERN THE TRACK OF THE
PAST FEW STORMS HAS BEEN NEARLY IDENTICAL FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC
NORTH TO NORTHWEST ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND SOUTHWEST
ALASKA.

A LOOK AT SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS THE LATEST SYSTEM
EXITING UP THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA. WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT WRAPPING
BACK IN BEHIND THIS SYSTEM A FAIRLY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS PRESENT
OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA...SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...AND THE GULF OF
ALASKA. THIS IS CONTRIBUTING TO FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SHOWERS...ENHANCED
IN SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FACING MOUNTAINS IN UPSLOPE FLOW. ALTHOUGH
THE AIR MASS HAS COOLED TEMPERATURES NEAR THE SURFACE ARE STILL
LARGELY ABOVE FREEZING...SO THE PREDOMINANT P-TYPE IS RAIN. SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS REMAIN TIGHT ACROSS THE REGION AND ARE COMBINING
WITH THE INSTABILITY AND PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE LOW TO PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD GUSTY WINDS.

MEANWHILE...A RAPIDLY DEEPENING LOW IS CROSSING THE NORTH CENTRAL
PACIFIC WITH ESTIMATED CENTRAL PRESSURE DOWN INTO THE 950S. THIS
LOW HAS BEEN TRACKING DUE EAST BUT IT WILL BEGIN TO CURVE
NORTHEASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS IT APPROACHES THE
EAST PACIFIC RIDGE. THE BIG DIFFERENCE WITH THIS SYSTEM AND THE
PAST FEW IS THAT IT WILL REACH ITS MAXIMUM STRENGTH OVER THE
PACIFIC AND THEN WEAKEN AS IT MOVES TOWARD ALASKA. WITH A
WEAKENING LOW EXPECT MORE OF A GENERIC ALASKA WINTER STORM. IN
OTHER WORDS IT WILL BE WEAKER AND DO NOT EXPECT HIGH IMPACTS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
NUMERICAL GUIDANCE IS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH SYNOPTIC SCALE
FEATURES. THERE ARE SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES OUT AHEAD OF THE PACIFIC
STORM SYSTEM AS IT APPROACHES THE ALASKA PENINSULA...PRIMARILY
WITH THE WARM FRONT WHICH PUSHES NORTH AND WEST ACROSS THE EASTERN
BERING SEA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THE GFS IS AN OUTLIER IN FORMING
A CLOSED SURFACE LOW ALONG THIS FRONT AND PUSHING IT NOTABLY FARTHER
WEST INTO THE BERING SEA. THEREFORE...HAVE USED MORE OF A CONSENSUS
OF THE REST OF THE GUIDANCE WITH A SURFACE TROUGH AXIS FARTHER EAST.

&&

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

THE WEATHER FRONT FROM YESTERDAY HAS CLEARED THE AREA AND
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IS NOW EXPERIENCED GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS IN
ALL AREAS AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH PLENTY OF SHOWERS MOVING
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE GULF. AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS PRECIPITATION IS
FALLING IN THE FORM OF HEAVY SNOW...BUT DESPITE COLD AIR ADVECTION
MOST LOWER ELEVATIONS ARE STILL WARM ENOUGH FOR ALL RAIN.
INSTABILITY IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT A FEW DOZEN LIGHTNING
STRIKES HAVE EVEN BEEN OBSERVED TODAY ALONG THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS.
INLAND AREAS ARE MOSTLY DOWNSLOPED...THOUGH AS THE OVERALL FLOW
CONTINUES TO BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY EVEN ANCHORAGE AND THE
MATANUSKA VALLEY MAY START TO SEE AN INCREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY.

BY TOMORROW MIDDAY THE COOK INLET GRADIENT SHOULD AGAIN BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR NORTHEASTERLY FLOW TO TRY TO RE-ESTABLISH FROM THE
WESTERN KENAI UP TO ANCHORAGE AND PALMER. THIS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO SINK BACK DOWN TOWARD FREEZING. THE NEXT STORM
MOVING UP SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WILL BE MUCH FARTHER WEST THAN
THE PREVIOUS FEW STORMS AND THE OVERALL FLOW WILL BE MUCH MORE
SOUTHEASTERLY RATHER THAN SOUTHERLY. WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT A
MORE CLASSIC UPSLOPE/DOWNSLOPE PRECIPITATION DISTRIBUTION IS
EXPECTED FOR THE START OF THE WEEK. HOWEVER...WITH NO SIGNIFICANT
AIRMASS REPLACEMENT ON THE HORIZON TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
BE ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

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

A WEAKENING LOW MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WILL KEEP
A SHOWERY REGIME OVER SOUTHWEST THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE A NORTH
PACIFIC WARM FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS
WILL BRING SOME RAIN AND SNOW...TURNING TO ALL RAIN MONDAY AS GALE
FORCE SOUTHEAST WINDS SPREAD OVER THE REGION.

&&

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

A GALE FORCE NORTH PACIFIC WARM FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA THEN STALL THROUGH MONDAY. SNOW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN
OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS AS BROAD
NORTHWEST FLOW REMAINS BEHIND THE WARM FRONT WHICH WILL REMAIN
EAST OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS THROUGH MONDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE GENERAL SYNOPTIC PATTERN AND THE FORECAST REASONING IN THE
EXTENDED FORECAST LARGELY REMAINS THE SAME AS THE PAST FEW DAYS.
THE PATTERN WILL REMAIN AS A BROAD NORTH PACIFIC/BERING SEA
TROUGH WITH A CENTER OVER THE SEA OF OHKOSK AND A LARGE RIDGE
RUNNING FROM THE CHUKCHI SEA SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE CONTINENTAL
DIVIDE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE MAIN CORE OF THE POLAR JET
WILL REMAIN IN GENERALLY THE SAME LOCATION ALONG 35-40N WITH A
WEAKER POLEWARD EXTENSION ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE RIDGE
...WHICH WILL MEANDER OVER SOUTHCENTRAL/SOUTHWEST ALASKA.

ON DAY 3 /MONDAY NIGHT/...THE LOW DEVELOPING AROUND 45N 165W WILL
BE ELONGATING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA COAST AS HAS BEEN
EXPECTED THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. THIS WILL KEEP INITIALLY WARM AND
WET CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE GULF COAST. MODELS ARE IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT WITH THIS
FEATURE...THUS A COMBINATION OF THE GFS AND ECMWF WAS USED WITH
THE EXISTING FORECAST WITH A SLOW BLEND INTO THE EC TO MATCH THE
EXTENDED FORECAST.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST...THE MAIN FORECAST
CHALLENGE REMAINS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A UPPER 950S TO LOWER 960S
MB LOW ABOUT 300-400 NM SOUTH OF ADAK ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
GFS AND EC ARE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THIS LOW...WITH
THE GFS FASTER AND SLIGHTLY WEAKER THAN THE EC. BOTH MODELS ARE
SHOWING A GENERAL TRACK INTO THE CENTRAL BERING BEFORE RECURVING
BACK TOWARDS RUSSIA BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE EXACT STRENGTH
AND TRACK OF THE LOW WILL BE KEY IN THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS. THE
EXTENDED FORECAST WAS GENERALLY A 50/50 BLEND OF WPC /WHICH USED
THE EC ENSEMBLES/ AND THE 12Z EC RUN. THIS FORECAST METHODOLOGY
BRINGS GALES TO MOST OF THE BERING SEA AS THE LOW MOVES
THROUGH....ALTHOUGH STORM FORCE WINDS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WITH
THIS LOW. CONFIDENCE IN THE DAY 4-7 FORECAST IS MEDIUM DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS LOW.
