Area forecast discussion, Mar 11, 5:21 AM AKST, 9 hours 38 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
521 AM AKST FRI MAR 11 2016
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
WV SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A BROAD LOW SPINNING SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA THIS MORNING WITH AN EASTWARD PROGRESSION.
RIDGING RESIDES NORTH OF THIS LOW WITH A CENTER ALONG THE NORTHERN
BERING. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK FRONT HAS PUSHED INTO THE NORTHERN
GULF OF ALASKA WITH RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. THESE SHOWERS ARE MOVING EASTWARD TOWARD PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND AND THE EASTERN KENAI. A SECOND FRONT IS MOVING INTO THE
GULF OF ALASKA WITH GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN APPROACHING THE SOUTHERN
PART OF KODIAK ISLAND. THE SURFACE LOW DRIVING THE SECOND FRONT IS
AN OCCLUDED SYSTEM WITH A BOUNDARY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN BERING.
MIXED PRECIPITATION IS DEVELOPING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS KEEPING PRECIPITATION ALL
SNOW. THE STRONGEST WINDS CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW...ADVECTING A
SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR MASS INTO THE PACIFIC.
&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN
HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW CONTINUING
SLOWLY TO THE EAST. NO MAJOR CHANGES WERE NEEDED FOR THE SHORT
TERM...ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE UTILIZING THE NAM WITH SOME USE OF
THE GEM ACROSS THE SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE GULF.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A WEAKENING GALE FORCE FRONT THAT IS BEGINNING TO DISSIPATE OVER
THE NORTH GULF COAST WILL CONTINUE TO BRING RAIN/SNOW...AND GUSTY
OFFSHORE GAP WINDS TO THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA TODAY. WITH
WEAK DOWNSLOPING FROM THIS FRONT...MID CLOUDS HAVE WORKED INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL OVERNIGHT...AND MAY EVEN BRING A FEW BRIEF SPRINKLES
OR FLURRIES FROM THE NORTHERN KENAI TO THE MATANUSKA VALLEY THIS
MORNING. BEHIND THIS FRONT A SECONDARY AND MUCH WEAKER FRONT IS
APPROACHING KODIAK ISLAND...WHICH WILL BRING CONTINUED RAIN AND
ONSHORE FLOW THERE THROUGH THIS EVENING. BY LATE TONIGHT...RIDGING
FROM THE INTERIOR WILL WORK SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHCENTRAL...BRINGING
CLEARING SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS TO THE REGION THAT WILL
PERSIST INTO SUNDAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO PLEASANT WEATHER FOR MUCH
OF THE SOUTH MAINLAND THIS WEEKEND WITH SUNNY SKIES...MILD
TEMPERATURES...AND LIGHT WINDS.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY
REGION THIS MORNING AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA PENINSULA CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH AND EAST. UPSLOPE
SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED ALONG NORTH PACIFIC/GULF OF ALASKA SIDE OF
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN RANGE BUT WILL LIKELY NOT MAKE
IT BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS AS STRONG CROSS BARRIER FLOW IS EATING UP
MUCH OF THE MOISTURE. OFFSHORE FLOW LOOKS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
REST OF SOUTHWEST ALASKA WHICH SHOULD KEEP THE REGION IN A DRY
PATTERN. FOG COULD LOCALLY BE AN ISSUE FOR AREAS THAT SEE PERIODS
OF CALM WIND BUT IT IS LIKELY THAT THE GRADIENT WILL BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO INHIBIT FOG DEVELOPMENT.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
GALE FORCE WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW PRESENTLY
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. A FRONTAL BAND LOOKS TO REMAIN NEAR
THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WHICH SHOULD ENHANCE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND POTENTIALLY BRING SOME SNOW ACCUMULATION.
A WEAK LOW WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF SHEMYA ON SATURDAY BUT MODELS ARE
STRUGGLING ON WHETHER IT CLOSES OFF OR REMAINS A WEAKER TROUGH.
REGARDLESS...INCREASED PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND SMALL CRAFT WINDS
WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE BEFORE IT GETS RE-ABSORBED
INTO THE MEAN FLOW ON SUNDAY.
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL/SOUTHWEST
ALASKA...KEEPING THE REGION DRY AS THE PACIFIC STORM TRACK SHIFTS
TOWARD THE WEST COAST OF THE LOWER 48. THE MOST ACTIVE WEATHER
WILL BE OVER THE BERING ALONG A DIFFUSE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND
NORTHERLY FLOW ENCOMPASSING THE WESTERN/CENTRAL BERING SEA AND
THE ALEUTIANS/PRIBILOF ISLANDS. SNOW AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE
QUITE ACTIVE THROUGH MONDAY AS BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT
STRENGTHENS THEN SHIFTS EAST BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING
INCREASING RAIN AND SNOW CHANCES TO SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH
MIDWEEK AND BEYOND...BUT THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE ON WHEN AND HOW
MUCH AS THE FLOW BECOMES INCREASINGLY AMPLIFIED. THE GFS AND ECMWF
ARE BOTH DEPICTING THE SAME LONG WAVE PATTERN...BUT ARE VASTLY
DISPARATE IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH PACIFIC MOISTURE RETURNS NORTHWARD
TO SOUTHCENTRAL...AND THE TIMING ON SHORTWAVE-LENGTH TROUGHS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT AFTER
A NICE PERIOD OF WEATHER...A SLIGHTLY MORE ACTIVE PATTERN WILL
DEVELOP BY TUESDAY WITH POTENTIAL INLAND SNOW THREATS.
