SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
354 PM AKST SAT MAR 12 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A FAIRLY QUIET WEATHER PATTERN IS IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE
ALASKA REGION THANKS IN LARGE PART TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER
LEVEL JET STREAM TO THE SOUTH OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. A MATURE
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC WITH A TROUGH AXIS EXTENDING WEST-NORTHWEST TO AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW ALONG THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA...WITH RAIN AND SNOW
SPREADING NORTHWESTWARD WITH THE LOW. JUST UPSTREAM IS A FAIRLY
STRONG DEFORMATION ZONE WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE NORTHWEST BERING
SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. AS IS TYPICAL WITH THESE
ZONES...A FAIRLY NARROW BAND OF MODERATE PRECIP IS CENTERED ALONG
IT FROM AROUND THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. AS
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES LATER TODAY IT WILL DEFORM THE
DEFORMATION BAND CAUSING THE AREA OF STEADY SNOW TO SHIFT. WITH
ARCTIC AIR IN PLACE AND CONTINUING TO ADVECT SOUTHWARD ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE DEFORMATION ZONE PRECIP IS FALLING IN THE FORM OF SNOW.

MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AND THE
GULF OF ALASKA IS BUILDING WESTWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA LEADING
TO CLEARING SKIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THERE ARE SOME MINOR MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH HANDLING OF THE
INTERACTION OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW CROSSING THE ALASKA PENINSULA
AND THE UPSTREAM DEFORMATION ZONE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING. THIS
LEADS TO SOME UNCERTAINTY INTO THE DETAILS OF WHERE THE STRONGEST
WINDS AND HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL BE LOCATED. OTHERWISE...OVERALL
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A BLUEBIRD EVENING IS IN STORE ACROSS THE AREA. WELL ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES PERSIST NEARLY EVERYWHERE WITH LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR
SKY. THE LACK OF CLOUD COVER WILL ALLOW OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPERATURES
TO DROP A LITTLE CLOSER TO NORMAL INTO THE 20S. MORE OF THE SAME
IS IN STORE FOR SUNDAY WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS ALONG THE GULF
COAST...BUT NEARLY THE SAME HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S AND LIGHT
WINDS IN MOST AREAS. MONDAY WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN MIDDLE AND
HIGH CLOUDS BUT DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES...STILL MUCH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
OFFSHORE FLOW LOOKS TO PERSIST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE CONTINUATION OF DRIER WEATHER ACROSS MUCH
OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW A
DRY LAYER JUST OFF THE SURFACE AND THIS DRY LAYER WOULD EASILY MIX
DOWN WITH LIGHT WINDS...HINDERING ANY POTENTIAL FOR FOG TO FORM.
SOME UPSLOPE SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE OBSERVED ON THE
PACIFIC (UPSLOPE) SIDE OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA BUT THE SOUNDINGS
ALONG THE AKPEN AND ALEUTIAN RANGE CONTINUE TO SHOW ENOUGH CROSS
BARRIER FLOW TO KEEP ILIAMNA AND KING SALMON ON THE DRY SIDE. SOME
MOISTURE MAY UPSLOPE NEAR THE AHKLUN MOUNTAINS TO WHERE A SNOW
SHOWER OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF THE MOUNTAINS
THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A DEFORMATION BAND EXTENDING FROM NORTHEASTERN RUSSIA DOWN TO
UNALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS AND
DUTCH HARBOR THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE DEFORMATION
BAND WILL BRIEFLY WEAKEN THIS EVENING THEN BECOME RE-ENHANCED ON
SUNDAY AS A WEAK LOW SPINS UP OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA NEAR
BRISTOL BAY...KEEPING GALE FORCE GUSTS AND SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT APPEARS LIKELY
THAT BOTH UNALASKA AND THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WILL SEE ACCUMULATING
SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THESE FEATURES...WITH UNALASKA SEEING UP TO 2
INCHES AND THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS SEEING 1 TO 3 INCHES THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE...A COLDER AIR MASS LOOKS POISED TO
BECOME FURTHER ENTRENCHED OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE BERING SEA
WHICH WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD COLD AIR ADVECTION
SHOW SHOWERS THROUGH EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7...TUE THROUGH SAT)...
THIS TIME FRAME WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED BY TWO FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT
FEATURES FOLLOWED BY MORE UNCERTAINTY. THE FIRST FEATURE WILL BE A
FAIRLY LARGE AND STRONG LOW MOVING TOWARD THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
LATE TUE INTO WED. YESTERDAY...MOST OF THE DETERMINISTIC MODELS
PAINTED THE LOWEST SURFACE PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW DOWN
INTO THE MID TO UPPER 970MB RANGE. NOW THE CURRENT GFS TAKES IT
DOWN TO 960MB AND THE EC GOES AS LOW AS 957MB. FOR NOW...THE GOING
FORECAST ADVERTISES A GALE-FORCE FRONT. BUT WE WILL BE WATCHING
THIS SYSTEM FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR STORM-FORCE WINDS. REGARDLESS OF
STRENGTH...IT WILL STILL BRING A SHIFT FROM COLD NORTHERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE BERING TO WARMER SOUTHERLY WINDS.

THE OTHER FEATURE WILL BE A SHORTWAVE DROPPING FROM THE INTERIOR
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TUE NIGHT INTO WED. MODELS CONTINUE TO TRY TO
REFINE THE DETAILS OF THIS SYSTEM. MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD A
SLIGHTLY STRONGER AND SHARPER TROUGH TODAY. AS THE TROUGH DIVES
DOWN...IT WILL INTERACT WITH THE REMNANT LOW COMPLEX NEAR THE
ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS LOW COMPLEX WILL HAVE SOME RESIDUAL
MOISTURE DRAPED ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. AS ALL OF THESE PIECES
OF ENERGY INTERACT...IF THE TROUGH CAN PULL SOME MOISTURE INTO
SOUTH CENTRAL AHEAD OF IT WITH SOME COLDER AIR DIGGING IN BEHIND
IT...WE COULD SEE A THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME SNOW. THERE ARE MANY
PLAYERS INVOLVED...AND WE HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SCENARIOS LIKE THIS
IN THE DAY 5 PERIOD THIS WINTER PROCEED TO FALL APART. THUS...THE
FORECAST REMAINS CONSERVATIVE AT THIS TIME.

FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND...THE MAIN
STORY WILL BE THE RESURGING NORTH AMERICAN RIDGE OVER THE
PANHANDLE. THERE REMAINS MUCH UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING HOW ENERGY
OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC RIDES UP THE WEST SIDE OF THIS RIDGE.
HOWEVER...IT DOES LOOK LIKE AS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED TROUGH
EXITS THE AREA TO THE EAST AND THE RIDGE BUILDS OVER SOUTHERN
AK...THERE WILL BE ANOTHER DRY PERIOD. AFTER THAT...MODELS DIVERGE
QUITE DRASTICALLY LEAVING ANY FORECAST DETAILS VERY FUZZY AT THIS
TIME.
