SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
511 AM AKDT THU MAR 17 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOW IS POSITIONED OVER THE EASTERN BROOKS
RANGE WITH AN ASSOCIATED TROUGH EXTENDING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST
INTO THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. THERE IS LITTLE MOISTURE ALOFT IN
THE CENTRAL INTERIOR EXTENDING THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA
REGION. THIS COINCIDES WITH THE CLOSED HIGH PRESSURE LOCATED JUST
WEST OF NUNIVAK ISLAND. AT THE SURFACE THE SOUTHWEST CONTINUES IN
OFFSHORE FLOW AND COLD AIR FILTERING IN FROM THE NORTH. THIS
COLDER AIR CAN BE SEEN AT 850MB WITH A -21C COLD POCKET LOCATED
FROM TANANA TO FAIRBANKS REGION. AT 300MB THERE IS A
NORTHWESTERLY 90 KNOT JET STREAK LOCATED OVER THE SEWARD PENINSULA
EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THESE COMBINED
SYNOPTIC FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT COLDER TEMPERATURES INTO
THE SOUTHWEST/SOUTHCENTRAL REGION. WHILE THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
IS SHOWING A LARGE MOISTURE PLUM FROM THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
ASSOCIATED WITH A STORM FORCE LOW LOCATED NEAR 50N 176W STREAMING
INTO THE GULF AND COASTAL COMMUNITIES THIS MORNING. THIS COINCIDES
WITH A STRONG 130 KNOT SOUTHEASTERLY JET IN THE NORTH PACIFIC THAT
TRANSITIONS TO A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY 110 KNOT JET STREAK OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF EASTWARD INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY. IN THE EASTERN
BERING...THE IR SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING STRATUS UNDER THE
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE AND WEAK EASTERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE.
OUT FARTHER WEST...AT THE SURFACE A STORM FORCE LOW IS LOCATED
JUST WEST OF SHEMYA WITH AN ASSOCIATED OCCLUDED WEATHER FRONT
EXTENDING THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS INTO THE WESTERN BERING
SEA. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS TO CONTINUE TO SLOW DOWN AS IT TRACKS INTO
THE AMPLIFIED RIDGE LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. THIS
WEATHER FRONT IS BRINGING WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS WITH ATKA REPORTING IN THE UPPER 30S AND ACCOMPANIED BY
THE STRONG SOUTHERLY PUSH OF WARM AIR INTO THE BERING.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NAM/GFS WERE THE PREFERRED MODELS WITH DEPICTING A WEATHER
FRONT TRACKING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF THIS MORNING. THIS WILL
BRING GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF AND THE SHELIKOF
STRAIT REGION. THE EC WAS THE OUTLIER WITH SHOWING WEAKER WINDS
WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SYNOPTIC FEATURE. THE BERING SEA AND THE
ALEUTIAN CHAIN WILL CONTINUE UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW HEADING
INTO WEEKEND. THE NAM WAS SHOWING A WEAK TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMING
BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BEFORE
DISSIPATING BY SATURDAY MORNING. OVERALL THE MODELS WERE DOING
BETTER AND THE FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS AVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE MAINLAND TODAY WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE...
TALKEETNA...AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS WITH RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS
ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF. A STRONG WEATHER FRONT MOVES NORTH ACROSS
THE GULF TODAY BRINGING EASTERLY GALES AND RAIN TO THE WESTERN
GULF/KODIAK ISLAND WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE INTO FRI. THE LOW OVER
THE NORTHERN INTERIOR RETROGRADES WESTWARD ON FRI. THIS ALLOWS THE
MOISTURE (FUEL) ASSOCIATED WITH THE GULF FRONT TO BE ENTRAINED
INTO THE STRENGTHENING SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE
BOWL AND MATSU VALLEYS. THIS DEVELOPING PATTERN HAS POTENTIAL FOR
ANOTHER ROUND OF FAIRLY WIDESPREAD SNOW FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED
AREAS LATE FRI NIGHT AND INTO SAT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

DRY OFFSHORE FLOW WILL BE THE DOMINATING FEATURE FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS FOR MOST OF THE MAINLAND. THE ONE EXCEPTION WILL BE RIGHT
ALONG THE SOUTHERN ALEUTIAN RANGE AND ALASKA PENINSULA WHERE LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF AK WILL ALLOW A BIT MORE
MOISTURE TO CREEP INTO THE AREA. FOR THE MAINLAND...THE DRY
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLEAR AND ALLOW FOR A
HEALTHY DIURNAL SWING IN TEMPERATURES WITH WARM AFTERNOONS AND
COLD OVERNIGHT LOWS. WINDS COULD GET A BIT GUSTY AS THEY APPROACH
THE KUSKOKWIM COAST AND THE WESTERN CAPES. FOR THE ALASKA
PENINSULA...A FRONT FROM THE GULF OF AK WILL SKIRT THROUGH THE
AREA TODAY INTO FRI. IT SHOULD BRING SNOW FROM SOUTHEAST TO WEST
STARTING WITH THE PACIFIC SIDE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IT WILL ALSO
BRING SOME WARMER AIR ACROSS THE AREA...SO EXPECT SOME RAIN TO MIX
IN WITH THE SNOW OVERNIGHT. THIS SHOULD LIMIT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.
AFTER THAT...IT WILL JUST BE A STRUGGLE BETWEEN THE DRY NORTHEAST
FLOW AND THE MOIST SOUTHEAST FLOW ACTING ON THE ALASKA PENINSULA.
THE MAJORITY OF THE PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO REMAIN ON THE PACIFIC
SIDE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

OUR STRONG LOW OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS CONTINUES TO WEAKEN
THIS MORNING. IT DOES STILL HAVE AN ASSOCIATED FRONT DRAPED FROM
ATKA NORTH INTO THE WESTERN BERING. THIS IS HELPING TO GENERATE
GUSTY SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS AND SOME LINGERING SNOW
SHOWERS. FOR THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS...THE AFORE MENTIONED SYSTEM
(NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA) SHOULD BRING SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS INTO
DUTCH FROM THE EAST LATER TONIGHT. THE BAND OF PRECIPITATION
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FRONT WILL MAKE IT JUST WEST OF NIKOLSKI
BEFORE STALLING OUT FRI EVENING. MEANWHILE...A NEW COMPACT LOW
WILL TOWARD ADAK FROM THE SOUTH BY FRI MORNING. IT WILL BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND SNOW AND SOME GUSTY WINDS AROUND THE
TIGHT CENTER.

&&

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

FORECAST THINKING REMAINS LARGELY UNCHANGED FOR THIS WEEKEND AND
THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AS MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A
CLOSED UPPER LOW RETROGRADING FROM THE CENTRAL INTERIOR ON
SATURDAY TO THE SOUTHWEST COAST BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE
COMBINATION OF THE UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH AND A WEAK SURFACE WAVE
OVER THE GULF WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION FOCUSED OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AK
THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE EXPANDING TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE LOW SHIFTS TO THE VICINITY
OF BRISTOL BAY. THE DEPARTING LOW WILL ALLOW HIGH PRESSURE TO
BRIEFLY BUILD OVER SOUTHCENTRAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH
TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY WARMING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. BY
MID-WEEK...ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE GULF AND POTENTIALLY
BRINGS BACK SOME WET AND WINDY WEATHER TO THE GULF COAST AND PARTS
OF SOUTHCENTRAL. ANOTHER LOW SKIRTING THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WILL KEEP
SHOWERY CONDITIONS OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING DURING THE WEEKEND
BEFORE A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN
BERING ON MONDAY.
