SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
421 PM AKST TUE MAR 1 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE LARGEST SYNOPTIC FEATURE IS A BROAD VERTICALLY STACKED NORTH
PACIFIC LOW CENTERED BETWEEN DUTCH HARBOR AND ADAK WITH NUMEROUS
DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND ITS PERIPHERY. THIS COVERS A LARGE
PORTION OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS. OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THERE IS A NARROW UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WHICH
EXTENDS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE PANHANDLE. THERE IS ENOUGH
INSTABILITY OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON FAR A COUPLE
OF LIGHTNING STRIKES ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND CONFIDENCE IN CURRENT FORECASTS
IS HIGHER THAN THE PAST DAY.
THIS MORNING THERE WAS CONCERN FOR THE WAY THE SOUTHERN KENAI
FORECAST WOULD PLAY OUT AS THE NAM AND GFS RUNS FROM YESTERDAY
SHOWED RADICALLY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS DUE TO SUBTLE DIFFERENCES IN
THE WAY THE LOW IN THE GULF WOULD BEHAVE. THE GFS WAS THE MOST
CORRECT MODEL OF THE BUNCH KEEPING THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA
DRY TODAY. THE NAM SOLUTION WHICH HAD A NUMBER OF INCHES OF SNOW
IN THE HOMER AREA TODAY WAS NOT THE FINEST FORECAST EVER PRODUCED
BY THAT MODEL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAKENED SURFACE LOW WILL IMPACT THE
EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA COAST AND KODIAK THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE
HIGH PRESSURE DRIES THE ENTIRE REGION OUT...BRINGING AN END TO A
PERSISTENT PERIOD OF STORMINESS ACROSS THE GULF. WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INLAND...THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR
TO BUILD INLAND...AND OFFSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENTS TO TIGHTEN
THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WEATHER PATTERN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL
REPRESENT A TASTE OF SPRING WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE AND LONGER DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A PATTERN CHANGE IS IN STORE FOR THE MAINLAND BEGINNING LATE
TONIGHT FROM THE NEVER ENDING SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OF THIS WINTER.
AN OUTFLOW PATTERN SETS UP TOMORROW INTO THURSDAY WHICH WILL
BRING BACK COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS.
TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL WHILE THE ONLY CLOUDS
WILL BE HIGH CIRRUS STREAMING IN FROM THE SOUTH. EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS THROUGH THURSDAY WITH INCREASING NORTHERLY WIND.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE SHOWERY PATTERN UNDERNEATH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH DECEASING COVERAGE OVER
TIME AS THE WHOLE THING DRIFTS WESTWARD. ON WEDNESDAY MORNING A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALOFT WILL PASS OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS...PRIBILOF ISLANDS...THEN INTO THE WESTERN BERING SEA
BRINGING A QUICK SHOT OF LIGHT RAIN. OTHERWISE EXPECT SUB-GALE
EASTERLY WINDS AND DRYING CONDITIONS FROM EAST TO WEST THROUGH
THURSDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE PERIOD WILL START WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND RECEDING TO THE NORTH AND WEST AS LOW PRESSURE GRADUALLY
MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTH STARTING FRIDAY. CLEAR SKIES AND DRY
CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER
THESE AREAS THROUGH FRI...BEFORE PRECIPITATION AND WINDS BEGIN TO
PICK UP ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST FRI NIGHT AS THE LOW TRACKS
INTO THE GULF. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO RETURN TO MUCH MORE
SEASONABLE WITH THE SLIGHT REPRIEVE FROM THE WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW.
OVER THE WEST...A BROAD WEAKENING LOW WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTH
OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN TOWARD THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. EAST TO
NORTHEAST FLOW BEHIND IT WILL BRING DRYING CONDITIONS TO THE
EASTERN BERING. IT WILL LEAVE THE ONLY REAL POTENTIAL FOR
PRECIPITATION CONFINED TO AREAS WEST OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. AND
EVEN THIS PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIGHT AT BEST.

HEADING TOWARD THE WEEKEND...THE BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
SOMEWHERE NEAR 50N 145W WILL SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH TOWARD THE GULF OF
ALASKA. THIS WILL ONCE AGAIN OPEN UP COASTAL AREAS TO INCREASING
EASTERLY WINDS AND BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION. THE LONG-
RANGE MODELS AND THEIR ENSEMBLE MEANS DID TREND SLIGHTLY FARTHER
NORTH AND EAST WITH THE PRIMARY LOW CENTER. THIS MIGHT OPEN UP
THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME PRECIPITATION MAKING IT INTO SOUTH CENTRAL
SAT INTO SUN. HOWEVER...THE TRACK OF THE SYSTEMS FROM THE
SOUTHEAST DOES NOT FAVOR MUCH MOISTURE MAKING IT OVER THE CHUGACH
AND KENAI MOUNTAINS. OUT WEST...FLOW REORIENTS TO A MORE NORTHERLY
DIRECTION. THIS COULD MAKE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF GALES OVER THE
NORTHERN BERING AND SHOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN COLD AIR
ADVECTION SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY ON THE BERING SIDE OF THE CHAIN.
