Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 4:23 PM AKST, 11 hours 5 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
423 PM AKST SUN MAR 6 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A RIDGE PUSHING INTO MAINLAND ALASKA FROM CANADA IS SPREADING GENERALLY
SUNNY SKIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL MAINLAND...AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN AT THE SURFACE. MEANWHILE...A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE IS STRETCHING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA TOWARDS
KODIAK ISLAND AND IS SUPPORTING STEADY RAIN. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES IS SUPPORTING LIGHT BUT PERSISTENT
OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGH LOCAL GAPS. ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND...LEFTOVER SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE THIS MORNING AS
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO TRACK SOUTHWESTWARD. CURRENTLY IT
IS SPINNING JUST SOUTH OF THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...AND HAS BEEN
SUPPORTING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS IN THE EASTERN BERING TODAY.
PERSISTENT NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO COVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
IN COLD ADVECTION SHOWERS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
IN THE SHORT TERM...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE FURTHER
WEAKENING OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AS IT TRACKS TOWARDS THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THERE IS ALSO LITTLE DISAGREEMENT ON THE EVENTUAL
DISSIPATION OF A LOW NEAR THE GULF OF ALASKA AS IT MOVES INLAND
SOUTH OF JUNEAU. AS A RESULT...A GENERAL BLEND OF HIGH RESOLUTION
MODELS WAS USED.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 THROUGH 3)...

THE RELATIVELY QUIET PATTERN OVER INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON WHEN A LOW MOVES INTO THE
EXTREME SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA AND PUSHES A FRONT NORTH TOWARD
THE MAINLAND. IN THE MEANTIME...OUTFLOW WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...THOMPSON PASS AND THE VALDEZ
MARINE AREAS WHICH HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM UP QUITE
RAPIDLY DURING THE LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS AS
WARMER AIR ALOFT IS MIXED DOWNWARD. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT LOOKS TO
WEAKEN BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WHICH WOULD ALLOW THESE WINDS TO
DIMINISH AND ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES TO COOL OFF RAPIDLY LATER
TONIGHT. ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...SOME ISOLATED PATCHY FOG
IS EXPECTED MAINLY SOUTH OF GLENNALLEN. THE OUTFLOW WINDS SHOULD
HELP KEEP THE AIR MASS MIXED ENOUGH TO PREVENT SIGNIFICANT FOG BUT
NEVERTHELESS A FEW AREAS ARE LIKELY TO SEE SOME PATCHY FOG AFTER
MIDNIGHT. TUESDAY LOOKS TO START OFF AS A BEAUTIFUL DAY AS A HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE INTERIOR NUDGES BRIEFLY ACROSS THE REGION AND
LEADS TO CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. THE PATTERN
BEGINS TO CHANGE LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AS AN
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PUSHES FROM THE EAST ACROSS ANCHORAGE AND
THE MAT-SU VALLEYS. THIS RESEMBLES THE PREVIOUS EVENT THAT BROUGHT
NEARLY 2 INCHES OF SNOW TO ANCHORAGE SO IT DOES BEAR SOME WATCHING.
HOWEVER...850 MB TEMPERATURES LOOK A BIT WARMER (-3 TO -5 DEGREES C)
WHICH WOULD BE SLIGHTLY LESS FAVORABLE FOR ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE OVER
THE CHUGACH. WENT AHEAD AND UPPED POPS TO CHANCE BUT WITH SUCH A
SMALL FEATURE IT IS EXPECTED THE MODELS WILL BE FLIPPING BACK AND
FORTH FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

ACROSS THE GULF COAST...IT LOOKS LIKE YET ANOTHER PERIOD OF WET
WEATHER IS ON THE HORIZON. A TROUGH DRAPED ACROSS THE NORTHER GULF
WILL BRING UNSETTLED WEATHER TO KODIAK THROUGH MONDAY AS A CLOSED
LOW DEVELOPS WITHIN THIS TROUGH JUST EAST OF KODIAK. THIS LOW WILL
THEN MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE KENAI PENINSULA ON MONDAY WHERE IT IS
EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE. HOWEVER...THE RESIDUAL TROUGH WILL BRING
CONTINUED ONSHORE FLOW ACROSS THE KENAI PENINSULA LEADING TO
PLENTY OF RAIN (AND SNOW WHERE COLD ENOUGH).

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ALONG A TROUGH AXIS MAINLY
STRETCHED OVER THE BRISTOL BAY AREA AND THE FAR WESTERN GULF THIS
EVENING...WITH MORE NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING FROM KING
SALMON SOUTH. SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD
MAINLY OVER THE BRISTOL BAY AREA BY MONDAY MORNING...AS THE SYSTEM
OVER THE WESTERN GULF TRACKS CLOSER TO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND.
DRIER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ACROSS
THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA...HOWEVER SOME INTERMITTENT SNOW
SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP AS WEAK SHORTWAVES TRAVERSE THROUGH THE AREA
ON MONDAY. THE UPPER LOW IN THE EASTERN BERING HAS SHIFTED FURTHER
SOUTH...BRINGING IN SOME SLIGHTLY WARMER SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW JUST
OFF THE SURFACE OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. THIS WILL KEEP ANY
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS CLOSE TO THE ALEUTIAN RANGE AND ALONG THE
AKPEN MIXED THROUGH THIS EVENING. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL
MODERATE BACK TO BELOW FREEZING LATER TONIGHT AND THEN CLIMB BACK
INTO THE MID 30S AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON...HENCE CONTINUED MIXED
PRECIPITATION TYPES DURING THE DAY THROUGH MID WEEK. OFFSHORE FLOW
WILL CONTINUE OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGH
TUESDAY...WEAKENING WITH TIME AS THE LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF
TRACKS CLOSER TO THE ALEUTIAN RANGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
NORTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN BERING PERSISTS
THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...WITH EMBEDDED SNOW SHOWERS AS LOW
PRESSURE REMAINS ALONG THE EASTERN BERING. THE STRONGEST GUSTS
SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
A WEAK FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE WESTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS
TUESDAY MORNING BRINGING A BRIEF ROUND OF SHOWERS TO THE AREA.
THIS SYSTEM WILL BE QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A
LOW OFF THE COAST OF KAMCHATKA...WHICH WILL TRACK INTO THE
WESTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING THEN PUSH INTO
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING
GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION TO
THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY. THE EASTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA
PENINSULA WILL SEE VARYING WIND CONDITIONS AS A WEAK SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. INCREASED SNOW SHOWERS WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE AS IT MOVES SLOWLY SOUTH TONIGHT CROSSING
INTO THE PACIFIC ON MONDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 4 THROUGH 7)...

BY WEDNESDAY EVENING...THERE WILL BE A BROAD LOW IN THE SOUTHERN
GULF OF ALASKA...WITH A DEEPENING NEAR STORM FORCE LOW MOVING
ACROSS THE BERING SEA. WEAKENING ENERGETIC WAVES WRAPPING AROUND
THE PARENT GULF LOW WILL BE SPREADING SOME MOISTURE ALONG THE
COAST...BUT MOST IF NOT ALL PRECIP WILL STAY THERE WITH DRY INLAND
CONDITIONS. THE LONE DISCREPANCY WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA
WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE WHERE SOME MOISTURE MAY INTERACT
FAVORABLY WITH A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO PRODUCE SOME
SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY. OTHERWISE...THE BERING TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED POLAR JET WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST AND MERGE WITH THE GULF
LOW...SENDING MOST OF THE JET ENERGY WELL SOUTH OF THE
REGION...AND KEEPING MOST OF INLAND ALASKA DISPLACED FROM THE
STORM TRACK.
