SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
410 PM AKST SUN JAN 3 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
STABLE UPPER PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE WITH A LONG-WAVE TROUGH OVER
THE BERING SEA AND NORTH PACIFIC WITH A DOWNSTREAM BLOCKING RIDGE
OVER THE EAST PACIFIC/WESTERN NORTH AMERICA. A LARGE DEEP MATURE
LOW HAS LARGELY STALLED APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA...WITH A DRIFT OFF TO THE NORTH TO NORTHEAST.
A BUILDING SHORT-WAVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OUT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
(FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA WESTWARD TO BRISTOL BAY) IS LEADING TO A
STRENGTHENING SOUTHEASTERLY JET STREAK. THIS JET IS DRIVING A LOW
LEVEL WARM FRONT (WITH ABUNDANT WARM AND MOIST AIR) NORTHWESTWARD
ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA INTO BRISTOL BAY AND THE EASTERN
BERING SEA. THERE IS SOME SNOW FALLING RIGHT ON THE FRONT EDGE OF
PRECIP...BUT TEMPS ARE QUICKLY WARMING AND CHANGING PRECIP OVER TO
RAIN.

OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA SHOWERS HAVE LARGELY ENDED AS THE UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS IN AND THE ATMOSPHERE BEGINS TO STABILIZE. SHOWERS
ARE LINGERING IN A COUPLE OF UPSLOPE AREAS...PRIMARILY ACROSS
WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE WESTERN ALASKA RANGE (ON THE
WEST SIDE OF COOK INLET AND THE SUSITNA VALLEY). THE SOUTHEAST
WINDS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE LARGELY DIED DOWN WITH LOW LEVEL
FLOW BACKING TOWARD THE EAST (AND SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENTS
BECOMING FAVORABLE FOR NORTHERLY FLOW). MEANWHILE...ANOTHER WARM
FRONT OVER THE EAST PACIFIC (COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THE SYSTEM
ALREADY MENTIONED) IS LIFTING NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA.

CONDITIONS OVER THE CENTRAL TO WESTERN BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS
ARE QUITE BENIGN...WITH WEAK FEATURES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LONG-
WAVE TROUGH PRODUCING AREAS OF LIGHT PRECIP BUT VERY LITTLE IN
THE WAY OF WIND.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
NUMERICAL GUIDANCE GENERALLY REMAINS IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
HANDLING OF LARGE SCALE FEATURES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THEY
HAVE ALL CONVERGED ON THE IDEA OF A WEAK CLOSED LOW FORMING ALONG
THE WARM FRONT EAST OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS ON MONDAY. THIS MAKES
SENSE WITH INCREASING BAROCLINICITY AS THE PARENT LOW LIFTS
NORTHWARD TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA...COLD AIR ADVECTS DOWN THE
BACK SIDE OF THE SYSTEM AND WARM AIR CONTINUES NORTHWESTWARD
ACROSS THE EASTERN TO NORTHERN BERING. THUS...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS GENERALLY HIGH.

THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WHERE A SERIES
OF WEAK FEATURES TRAVELING ALONG THE NORTH PACIFIC SUBTROPICAL
JET APPROACH THE AREA. MODEL SPREAD IS LARGE AND FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS LOW...THOUGH THESE FEATURES WILL BE LOW IMPACT IN
NATURE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE UPPER LEVELS HAVE AN AMPLIFIED RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST
PANHANDLE EXTENDING INTO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND TO THE
NORTHWEST TOWARDS THE SEWARD PENINSULA. AS THE SKIES GRADUALLY
CLEAR OUT THIS WILL FAVOR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOG OVER THE
COPPER RIVER BASIN TONIGHT. DENSE FOG HAS ALREADY DEVELOPING OVER
THE VALDEZ REGION THIS EVENING BUT WILL TRANSITION TO PATCHY FOG
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS LIGHT NORTHEASTERLY WINDS HELP TO MIX OUT THE
DENSE FOG. A WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE BARREN ISLANDS
REGION TONIGHT AND BECOME STATIONARY THROUGH MONDAY. THIS WILL
PRODUCE INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENTS RESULTING IN STORM FORCE
EASTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE BARREN ISLANDS REGION AS WE HEAD INTO
MONDAY. THIS WILL BRING A WINTRY MIX ALONG THE KENAI PENINSULA
BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL RAIN AS THE FRONT BECOMES STATIONARY OVER
THE KENAI PENINSULA. THE INLAND AREAS WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE
FOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION BEFORE CHANGING TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND NORTH OF CLAM GULCH WILL
HAVE DOWNSLOPE DRIER CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY. THE TURNAGAIN ARM
AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS WILL SEE INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENTS
RESULTING IN GUSTY EASTERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS BY LATE MONDAY
MORNING THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT WEATHER FRONT MOVES INTO
THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THROUGH TONIGHT...THE 966MB LOW ABOUT 600 NM SOUTHEAST OF COLD
BAY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWESTWARD AND ELONGATE ALONG THE
SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA COAST. MODELS HAVE BEEN IN FAIRLY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THIS FEATURE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AND REMAIN
SO...THUS CONFIDENCE IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST IS FAIRLY HIGH.

THIS SYSTEM HAS A DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT...BRINGING AMPLE
MOISTURE INTO THE REGION ALONG THE FRONT. RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA
THIS AFTERNOON ARE SHOWING THE INITIAL BAND OF PRECIPITATION
PUSHING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND INTO THE YUKON DELTA.
OVER THE KUSKOKWIM COAST...PRECIPITATION HAS STARTED AS SNOW THIS
AFTERNOON AND WILL TRANSITION TO A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVER MOST AREAS
THE FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD. TO THE SOUTH...PRECIPITATION WILL
REMAIN AS ALL RAIN ALONG THE BRISTOL BAY/UPPER AKPEN REGION. WINDS
WILL BE GUSTY OVERNIGHT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS ALONG THE BRISTOL BAY COAST AND THE KAMISHAK GAP.
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO DIMINISH EARLY MONDAY MORNING. WITH
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO STAY ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

BY TUESDAY MORNING...THE MAIN LOW CENTER WILL BE MOVING
NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN BERING AND THE FLOW OVER THE
REGION WILL BECOME WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY. COLDER AIR ADVECTING
AROUND THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO CHANGE THE PRECIPITATION TYPE FROM A
RAIN/SNOW MIX TO ALL SNOW...STARTING FROM THE KUSKOKWIM COAST
EARLY TUESDAY AND MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE DAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE MAIN FEATURE FOR THE BERING SEA OVER THE DAY 1-2 TIME FRAME IS
THE LOW SOUTHEAST OF COLD BAY. THIS LOW IS CURRENTLY BRINGING
SOLIDLY GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND ALONG BRISTOL BAY THIS AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE BEGINNING TO SLOWLY DIMINISH
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW ELONGATES ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN
ALASKA COAST. THE STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW
IS PRODUCING HIGH SEAS ON THE PACIFIC SIDE EAST OF UNALASKA. THESE
SEAS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH TOMORROW.

THIS LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NEAR ST MATTHEW ISLAND BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL PUT MOST OF THE BERING SEA INTO A WEST TO
SOUTHERLY FLOW PATTERN WITH COOLER AIR ADVECTING IN OVER THE
REGION.

&&

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

BY MID-WEEK THE PATTERN WILL BE DEFINED BY A DOMINANT CENTER OF
ACTION OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA IN THE FORM OF AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW. DOWNSTREAM...A STOUT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS OVER WESTERN
CANADA AND THE YUKON. A POLEWARD JET STREAM WILL CONTINUE OVER
THE ALASKA MAINLAND ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE.

A STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC
INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING WEDNESDAY...THEN RETROGRADES WEST AND
WEAKENS AS THE DOMINANT CENTER OF ACTION RETROGRADES WEST INTO THE
SEA OF OKHOTSK. THIS WILL HELP TO PULL THE DOWNSTREAM RIDGE WEST
AS WELL TO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC EXTENDING NORTH-NORTHWEST
THROUGH THE ALASKA MAINLAND BY THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE PRIMARY IMPACTS FROM THIS WEATHER PATTERN WILL BE CONTINUED
WARM AND GENERALLY WET CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA...WHILE
THE WESTERN BERING AS WELL AS WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL
BE COOLER THAN NORMAL WITH INCREASED CHANCES OF SNOW ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE MAIN LOW TRACK JUST TO THE EAST. TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA...A BENIGN WEATHER PATTERN WILL ESTABLISH ITSELF WITH
WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVERHEAD. WITHIN
THE VALLEYS...HOWEVER...COLD INVERSIONS WILL LIKELY ALLOW SURFACE
TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN A BIT CLOSER TO NORMAL FOR MOST AREAS.
TOWARD THE GULF...DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE EAST TO WEST IN GENERALLY
FAST EASTERLY FLOW...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR WIDESPREAD SMALL CRAFT
TO GALE-FORCE WINDS OVER MUCH OF THIS REGION FROM LATE THIS WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
