SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
553 AM AKST WED MAR 9 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE ARE TWO LARGE LOWS IN THE AREA WITH THE FIRST SOUTH OF THE
GULF AND THE OTHER APPROACHING THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FROM THE
NORTH PACIFIC. THE LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF HAS LOST MUCH OF ITS
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT KEEPING IT MOSTLY STATIONARY WHILE THE LOW OUT
WEST HAS GOOD JET SUPPORT FROM THE WEST STRENGTHENING IT AS IT
MOVES TOWARDS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. IN BETWEEN THE TWO LOWS WEAK
RIDGING SITS OVER THE CENTRAL BERING.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJOR FEATURES. IN
PARTICULAR THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE STRONG SOLUTION OF THE
LOW MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING GIVING HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN
HIGH WINDS FOR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS HEADING INTO THURSDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF THE GULF WILL
KEEP ONSHORE FLOW AND RAIN SHOWERS FOR KODIAK ISLAND INTO
THURSDAY. MEANWHILE FURTHER TO THE NORTH...A WEAK MID LEVEL RIDGE
OVERHEAD OF MUCH OF THE SOUTH MAINLAND WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION OUT
OF THE FORECAST AND SUNNY BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING MILD. STARTING THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH AN ALEUTIAN LOW WILL BRING
THIS LOW NORTHWARD AND IS NOW EXPECTED TO BRING GALE FORCE WINDS
TO THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF INTO FRIDAY WITH A RETURN TO
RAIN/SNOW TO THE GULF COAST. INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL HOWEVER WILL
REMAIN DOWNSLOPED BY THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS DURING THIS TIME WITH
WINDS INCREASING THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM AND THE MATANUSKA VALLEY.
THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE RELATIVELY WEAK HOWEVER AND SHOULD
REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY RELATIVELY BENIGN
CLOUDY CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT IN A REGION OF WEAK SURFACE AND
UPPER LEVEL FLOW BETWEEN THE RESPECTIVE LOWS OVER THE GULF AND
BERING. A WEAK UPPER DISTURBANCE AHEAD OF THE BERING SYSTEM WILL
LIFT INLAND LATE TONIGHT...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS TO PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL THEN BEGIN TO INCREASE OUT OF
THE NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN
RESPONSE TO THE ADVANCING BERING LOW. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN OFFSHORE AS IT MOVES INTO THE SOUTHEAST BERING THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...KEEPING ANY PRECIPITATION CHANCES MAINLY LIMITED TO
AREAS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE STRONG LOW ENTERING THE WESTERN BERING WILL BE THE DOMINANT
FEATURE IMPACTING THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING AS IT SKIRTS
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN...WITH THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES FOCUSING ON
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE FRONT AND STRONG WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE LOW CENTER. THE FRONT WILL PUSH QUICKLY EASTWARD INTO THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BY THIS AFTERNOON AND THEN CONTINUE TOWARDS THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS...PRIBILOF ISLANDS...AND AKPEN BY LATER TONIGHT.
PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS SNOW BUT SHOULD QUICKLY BEGIN TO MIX
WITH OR CHANGE TO RAIN AS WARM NORTH PACIFIC AIR PUSHES IN BEHIND
THE FRONT...WHICH SHOULD HELP TO PRECLUDE ANY BLOWING SNOW
CONCERNS. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO STRONG WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE LOW BY LATE TONIGHT AS COLD ADVECTION AND FAVORABLE JET
SUPPORT COME TOGETHER OVER THE WEST CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. HAVE THUS
UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A WARNING WITH THE MORNING
PACKAGE. THE HIGHEST WINDS SHOULD IMPACT ADAK THURSDAY MORNING
BEFORE SPREADING EAST TOWARDS ATKA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. A WIDE
SWATH OF STORM FORCE WINDS WILL ALSO IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS
OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL PARTS OF THE CHAIN THROUGH THURSDAY
NIGHT.

&&

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

THE EXTENDED FORECAST CONTINUES TO MOVE ALONG WITH RELATIVELY HIGH
CONFIDENCE IN THE OVERALL LONGWAVE PATTERN...AND THE GENERAL LOW
IMPACT NATURE OF THE WEATHER PATTERN ANTICIPATED. BEGINNING
THURSDAY EVENING...THE MAIN POLAR JET WILL BE PROGRESSING
SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE WESTERN UNITED STATED COASTLINE...KEEPING THE
MAIN STORM TRACK SOUTH OF ALASKA. THE STRONG BERING LOW WILL BE
TRACKING SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA...WITH A ROTATING LOW MOVING
TOWARD THE NORTH GULF COAST BY FRIDAY...SPREADING INLAND CLOUDS
AND COASTAL PRECIPITATION. THIS SYSTEM WILL WEAKEN BY THE
WEEKEND...LEAVING LARGELY DRY CONDITIONS AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER
MOST OF SOUTHERN ALASKA. BY NEXT WEEK...A WEAK AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE BERING WILL DRIFT EAST...BUT WITH THE MAIN
STORM TRACK WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION...RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER
WILL PERSIST WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES LARGELY RELEGATED TO
COASTAL LOCATIONS AND THE BERING SEA.
