Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 4:59 AM AKST, 9 hours 58 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
459 AM AKST THU JAN 7 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
ANOTHER DAY...ANOTHER DIPOLE ALOFT CONTROLLING THE PATTERN. THE
TWO CENTERS REMAIN IN GENERALLY THE SAME PLACE WITH THE CLOSED
HIGH CENTERED OVER YUKON/NORTHWEST TERRITORIES AND THE UPPER
CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. THE STRONG LOW
IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA IS ACTING TO KEEP THE EXISTING
CIRCULATION AND LONGWAVE PATTERN IN PLACE. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
FROM THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM IS DRAPED NORTH/SOUTH UNDERNEATH THE
STRONGER UPPER LEVEL FLOW. THE JET STREAM REMAINS WELL DISPLACED
TO THE SOUTH AS THE BERING TROUGH STRETCHES WELL INTO THE MID-
LATITUDES. THIS SETUP MAKES THE PREFERRED AREA FOR CYCLOGENESIS
AND ACTIVE WEATHER THE NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC SOUTH OF KODIAK
ISLAND...WHERE THE JET SENDS EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES INTO THE LONGWAVE
TROUGH. ANOTHER WEAK UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION IS SEEN IN THE
NORTHERN GULF...HOWEVER DOES NOT APPEAR TO HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF
SUPPORT...ONLY SOME WEAKER AREAS OF SHOWERS UNDERNEATH IT.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
AS THE LAST MAJOR SYSTEM WAS SO LARGE AND NOW IN A
MATURE/WEAKENING PHASE...GUIDANCE IS IN GREAT AGREEMENT IN THE
SHORT TERM WITH NO BIG DEVELOPMENTS. DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO ARISE ON
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY IN THE PRESSURE FIELDS AS A BASAL WAVE IN THE
BERING TROUGH BEGINS TO DEVELOP A SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK
ISLAND. THE OVERALL BIG PICTURE IN GUIDANCE IS TO FIRST DEVELOP A
CIRCULATION IN THE GULF...THEN ELONGATE IT AS IT REACHES THE
ALASKA PENINSULA DUE TO THE TROUGH SHEARING OUT ALOFT. EXACTLY HOW
QUICKLY THIS OCCURS IS WHAT THE MODELS ARE STRUGGLING WITH. THE
NAM HAS BEEN VERY CONSISTENT WITH A MUCH FASTER SOLUTION BY MOVING
THE LOW INTO THE BERING BY FRIDAY EVENING...WHILE THE GFS/EC/GEM
ALL KEEP THE LOW CENTER WELL SOUTH OF THE AKPEN DURING THAT TIME.
AS A RESULT THE NAM WAS TREATED AS A STRONG OUTLIER LATE THIS
WEEKEND INTO THE WEEKEND AND THE MORNING FORECAST PACKAGE USED
MOSTLY THE GFS AND EC TO KEEP FORECAST CHANGES MINIMAL.

&&

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

THE UPPER LOW MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE GULF LOOKS RELATIVELY
ORGANIZED. THIS FEATURE IS MOVING RAPIDLY NORTH AND WILL BE OVER
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN BY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY
THIS EVENING. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE GULF COAST
AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN TODAY IS EXPECTED
WITH THIS FEATURE. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE SHOULD
MOST AREAS BY EVENING AS A TRAILING RIDGE MOVES ACROSS THE NORTH
GULF/COPPER RIVER.

THE FOCUS THIS EVENING THEN SHIFTS TO A DEVELOPING NORTH PACIFIC
LOW COMPLEX AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONTAL TROUGH HEADING NORTH TOWARD
THE AK PEN/WESTERN GULF. WIDESPREAD GALES ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
GULF AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES LATER TODAY THROUGH FRI WITH AREAS
OF STORM FORCE WINDS IN SOME MARINE AREAS SURROUNDING KODIAK ISLAND.
BRISK GAP WINDS ALSO ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE KENAI PEN. PRECIPITATION
WILL MAINLY BE CONFINED TO COASTAL LOCATIONS WITH THE EASTERN GULF
COAST RECEIVING THE LESSER OF THE COASTAL PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS.
EASTERLY CROSS BARRIER FLOW SHOULD KEEP MOST INLAND AREAS OF
SOUTHCENTRAL ON THE DRY SIDE THROUGH FRI NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A SURFACE LOW MOVING UP FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC WILL BRING RAIN AND
SNOW TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST TODAY
WITH INCREASED CHANCES FOR INLAND LOCATIONS TONIGHT THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT. GUSTY WINDS TODAY WILL MAINLY BE ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA AS THE BERING LOW SWINGS A WAVE OF ENERGY WHICH TIGHTENS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE COAST. WIDESPREAD STRONG GUSTY WINDS
ACROSS BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA INCREASE TONIGHT WITH
THE APPROACH OF THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW. THIS LOW MAINTAINS STRENGTH
AS IT CROSSES OVER TO THE EASTERN BERING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT KEEPING
STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE REGION.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
GUSTY WINDS WERE EXTENDED THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF
THE BERING AS THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY OFF TO THE
NORTHWEST. WINDS TAPER DOWN THIS AFTERNOON AND WEAK SURFACE RIDGING
MOVES IN FROM THE PACIFIC. A COLDER AIR MASS FILTERS THROUGH THE
BERING ON FRIDAY...EXCEPT FOR EASTERN AREAS WHERE A WARM FRONT
WRAPS IN AROUND A NORTH PACIFIC LOW CROSSING OVER THE ALASKA
PENINSULA.

&&

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

ON SATURDAY...A GALE FORCE LOW MOVES NORTH ACROSS THE ALASKA
PENINSULA INTO THE BERING SEA. RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE MOST STEADY
ALONG A STATIONARY FRONT OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW EXTENDING NORTHWEST
THROUGH THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN BERING SEA. ADDITIONALLY...STRONG
SOUTHEAST FLOW TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE LOW TRACK WILL BRING RAIN
TO MAINLY UPSLOPE LOCATIONS FROM SOUTHWEST ALASKA TO THE GULF
COAST REGION.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK...LITTLE CHANGE
IN THE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED...WITH A CONTINUATION OF THE
WEATHER PATTERN THAT HAS BROUGHT WARM AIR AND PLENTIFUL
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO MAINLAND ALASKA FOR THE LAST WEEK. THE
BERING/ALEUTIAN BASIN WILL BEAR THE BRUNT OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER
FOR THE NEXT WEEK WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY
PRECIPITATION. MEANWHILE...THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL SEE
MULTIPLE BUT RELATIVELY MINOR ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION (MOSTLY
RAIN) DURING THE PERIOD WITH WINDS STAYING MAINLY ALONG THE COAST.
WITH RELATIVELY HIGHER PRESSURE INLAND AND LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
OVER THE BERING SEA...NORTH PACIFIC...AND GULF OF ALASKA...NORTHERLY
WINDS AT THE LOWEST LEVELS OF COOK INLET WILL KEEP THE MAIN
POPULATION CENTERS MOSTLY DRY.
