Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 3:59 PM AKST, 11 hours 15 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
359 PM AKST THU MAR 3 2016
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
LARGE MID-LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS RESIDE SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIAN
CHAIN AND GULF OF ALASKA...WITH A WEAK AND RETROGRESSING RIDGE
MOVING QUICKLY WEST ACROSS THE BERING SEA. A DRY CUT-OFF LOW IS IN
THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING JUST NORTH OF THE ALASKA RANGE. THE
FIRST IN A TRAIN OF DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE LARGE MID-
LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA IS LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN
GULF SOUTH OF YAKUTAT.
AT THE SURFACE...NORTHERLY OUTFLOW WINDS CONTINUE OVER THE
MAINLAND...WITH EAST TO NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE BERING.
&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJOR FEATURES THROUGH
THE MID TERM OUTSIDE OF MINOR TIMING AND PLACEMENT ISSUES. THIS
RESULTS IN HIGH CONFIDENCE IN THE SYNOPTIC FORECAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE BERING SEA THIS EVENING WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH WESTWARD TOWARD NORTHEAST RUSSIA BY FRIDAY
MORNING. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF WILL BEGIN TO PUSH
FAIRLY WEAK WEATHER SYSTEMS THROUGH THE GULF AND OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA STARTING LATER TONIGHT...AND PERSISTING
THROUGH THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THE FIRST OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL
REACH THE GULF COAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND LINGER AROUND THE
SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA AND KODIAK THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THERE
WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION AS FAR NORTH AS
ANCHORAGE FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION BEING CONFINED TO THE EASTERN/SOUTHERN KENAI AND
KODIAK ISLAND FRIDAY NIGHT. A SLIGHTLY STRONGER SYSTEM WILL BEGIN
TO MOVE INTO THE EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA BY LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT...BRINGING SOME GUSTIER WINDS AND ANOTHER ROUND OF STEADY
PRECIPITATION TO THE AREAS SURROUNDING THE NORTHERN GULF COAST.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW
RESULTING IN COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS. BY FRIDAY AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH WILL DROP DOWN INTO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THIS
SYNOPTIC FEATURE WILL BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WITH SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS.
SOME MOISTURE WILL ALSO SPREAD INTO THE BRISTOL BAY AND THE LOWER
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL HAVE THE REMAINS OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
PUSHING THROUGH WITH EASTERLY FLOW. THIS WILL BRING A BAND OF SNOW
FOR THIS EVENING BEFORE TAPERING-OFF TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS
GOING INTO FRIDAY. THE REST OF THE BERING WILL REMAIN IN A SHOWERY
WEATHER REGIME BEFORE A COLD FRONT WILL TRACK INTO THE NORTHERN
BERING LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES AND
STRONGER PRESSURE GRADIENTS RESULTING IN GALE FORCE WINDS BY LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS PREDOMINANTLY NORTHERLY FLOW WILL HELP THE
COLDER TEMPERATURES TO REACH THE CHAIN. THEREFORE...NUMEROUS SNOW
SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT. THESE COLDER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL PRODUCE
HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY ALONG THE ICE EDGE IN THE BERING SEA.
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE LARGE SCALE GENERAL PATTERN REMAINS SIMILAR THROUGH THE LONG
TERM. BY SATURDAY NIGHT THE COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SHIFTS WEST
TO BE CENTERED OFFSHORE OF THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA EXTENDING OVER
BRISTOL BAY...THE EASTERN BERING AND ACROSS THE BERING STRAIT. AT
THE SURFACE COLD NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW
SHOWERS TO THE BERING. MEANWHILE THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER
WESTERN CANADA WILL STRENGTHEN AND BUILD INTO INTERIOR ALASKA. A
SERIES OF WEAKENING LOWS BEING SPUN OFF OF THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL
LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL ROTATE ACROSS THE GULF
TRACKING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST. WHILE THERE REMAINS A FAIR BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE TIMING AND DEPTH OF THE INDIVIDUAL WAVES
IT LOOKS LIKELY THAT THE IMPACTS OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL REMAIN
CONFINED TO COASTAL REGIONS.
