SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
439 PM AKST MON FEB 15 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A WEAK SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOW JUST SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA IS DROPPING SOUTH AS IT CONTINUES TO DISSIPATE. THE
REMNANTS OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PUSHING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
ALASKA WITH SOME LINGERING SHOWERS ACROSS PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND
SOUTHERN COOK INLET. A STRONG LOW IS MOVING TOWARD SOUTHEAST
ALASKA AND AN INVERTED TROUGH WILL PUSH TO JUST OFF THE COAST OF
THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. UPPER LEVEL NORTHERLY FLOW WILL SUPPORT
OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGH THE TYPICAL GAPS FROM THE EASTERN KENAI PEN
TO THE NORTH GULF COAST. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW IS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND TRIGGERING SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE
BRISTOL BAY REGION AND SOUTHERN KUSKOKWIM DELTA. ABUNDANT LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE BRISTOL BAY REGION TO LAKE ILIAMNA IS
RESULTING IN AREAS OF FOG THAT SHOULD REMAIN AN ISSUE THROUGH THE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. A GALE FORCE LOW IS OVER THE WESTERN
BERING SEA WITH ITS FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN SUPERB AGREEMENT WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT
ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA TO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THE
FORMATION OF THE TRIPLE POINT LOW ALONG THE FRONT THAT WILL IMPEDE
THE WARM ADVECTION THUS ALLOWING FOR COLD ENOUGH AIR TO REMAIN
OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA SUPPORTING SNOW FOR THE REGION. THE MODELS
ARE IN RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT MOVING THE TRIPLE POINT LOW FROM
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA TO SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH
WED NIGHT.

&&

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

DRIER WEATHER IS ON THE WAY AS A SHARP UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
OVER WESTERN MAINLAND ALASKA TONIGHT AND THEN SHIFTS EAST OVER
CENTRAL ALASKA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THE SURFACE AN
INVERTED TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST TONIGHT
AND STRENGTHEN THROUGH TUESDAY BUILDING A TIGHT OFFSHORE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND ENHANCING NORTHERLY GAP WINDS OUT OF AREAS SUCH AS
THE COPPER RIVER DELTA...THOMPSON PASS AND THE VALDEZ
AREA...RESURRECTION BAY AND OTHER SIMILARLY ORIENTED BAYS AND
PASSES. THROUGH PASSAGE CANAL AND IN WHITTIER GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS
WILL STRENGTHEN AS WELL.

ONE INTERESTING COMPONENT OF THE NORTHERLY FLOW PATTERN SETTING
UP IS A SHORT WAVE DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE WESTERN COPPER RIVER
BASIN AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ON ONE HAND THE
SHORTWAVE MAY HELP TO STRENGTHEN THE NORTHERLY GAP WINDS...HOWEVER
ON THE OTHER IT MAY ALSO BRING BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS TO THE
COPPER RIVER BASIN WHICH MAY PREVENT/DISRUPT A COLD AIR POOL FROM
FORMING IN THE BASIN TUESDAY AND LESSEN THE COLD AIR DRAINAGE
FORCE COMPONENT OF THE NORTHERLY GAP WINDS. I DO THINK HOWEVER
WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE INVERTED TROUGH ALONG THE COAST...THAT IT
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATED AT LEAST MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW EVEN
IN ABSENCE OF THE COLD AIR POOL ON TUESDAY. ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR
BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH UNSEASONABLY LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL
NEED TO BE WATCHED AS WELL...BOTH IN THE BASIN AND IN THE GAP FLOW
AND DOWNSLOPING WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.

REGARDLESS HOW THE WIND SCENARIO PLAYS OUT ON TUESDAY...COLD DRY
AIR WILL PUSH INTO THE BASIN TUESDAY NIGHT AND BEGIN DEVELOPING OR
STRENGTHENING THE COLD AIR POOL THERE. A FRONTAL SYSTEM FROM THE
WEST WILL APPROACH KODIAK ISLAND LATE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH A SURFACE
LOW CROSSING THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND TRACKING JUST TO THE SOUTH
OF KODIAK ISLAND WEDNESDAY BRINGING GALES WITH IT.

&&

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

HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING IN WILL ALLOW FOR WINDS TO SLACKEN ACROSS
MOST OF THE REGION. WITH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...WIDESPREAD
FOG WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION...WITH MORE
PATCHY FOG ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY.
A FAST MOVING FRONT TRACKING ACROSS THE BERING SEA WILL BECOME THE
MAIN FOCUS OF ATTENTION AS IT MOVES EAST TO WEST ACROSS SOUTHWEST
BEGINNING TUESDAY EVENING...BEFORE STALLING ACROSS INLAND BRISTOL
BAY AND THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THIS
WILL BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW AND STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS
BEFORE THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST WEDNESDAY. HEAVY SNOW WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS WHERE THE FRONT STALLS WEDNESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE MAIN CORRIDOR LIKELY SETTING UP WEST OF
ILIAMNA AND EAST OF DILLINGHAM IN A NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTATION.
BEFORE HAND...ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL IMPACT THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA...WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS BRISTOL BAY BEFORE
TURNING TO ALL SNOW. IN THE HEAVY SNOW CORRIDOR...SNOW TOTALS MAY
BE IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES.

&&

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

A FAST MOVING WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE RAPID EAST
PROGRESS TO THE SOUTHWEST COAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...SPREADING
RAIN TO THE ALEUTIANS AND RAIN AND SNOW TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. A
COLD FRONT WILL RAPIDLY SWEEP WEST TO EAST BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT...SPREADING WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS AND STRONG GALE FORCE
WINDS. ANOTHER POTENTIAL STORM FORCE LOW WILL ENTER THE WESTERN
BERING SEA THURSDAY.

&&

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

THE LONG TERM FORECAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL WILL CONTINUE WITH
WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND DRIER CONDITIONS. ACTIVE
WEATHER ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST...GULF AND BERING AREAS WILL BE
INFLUENCED BY AN UPPER TROUGH SHIFTING TOWARD THE ALASKA
PENINSULA INTO THE END OF THE WEEK. THE THROUGH SETS UP ANOTHER
ANCHOR POINT FOR UPPER LOWS TO PIVOT AROUND WITH THEIR GENERAL
TRACK TURNING NORTH TOWARD THE GULF COAST AS THE NORTH AMERICAN
RIDGE AMPLIFIES AGAIN ACROSS THE ALCAN BORDER. THE BUILDING RIDGE
BLOCKS MOST OF THE ENERGY FROM THE SHORT WAVES THAT TRACK NORTH
ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER THERE WILL BE A
FEW STRONGER WAVES THAT WORK ON BREAKING THE RIDGE DOWN ENOUGH TO
ALLOW A STRONGER SYSTEM THROUGH SUN THROUGH TUESDAY. KEPT THE
FORECAST WITH A DRIER TREND INLAND AS MODELS LACK AGREEMENT WITH
BOTH THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE SHORT WAVES OVER THE WEEKEND.
