SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
550 AM AKDT THU MAR 31 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE LARGE NEGATIVELY TILTED RIDGE CONTINUES TO ASSERT ITS
DOMINANCE OVER THE FLOW PATTERN ALOFT THIS MORNING. THE RIDGE
EXTENDS UP INTO THE CENTRAL INTERIOR FROM THE PANHANDLE. A MATURE
STACKED SYSTEM IS SPINNING SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS PROVIDING
THE CYCLONIC FLOW NEEDED TO KEEP THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING OVER
THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. DEEP LAYER SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW EXISTS
BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS AND IS DRIVING THE ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE
CURRENT PATTERN. CURRENTLY THE WARM FRONT IS DRAPED FROM THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THROUGH THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS AND OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA. ALONG THE WARM FRONT...A VERY LOW LEVEL WARM NOSE
IS EVIDENT ON THE THE 31/12Z SOUNDING AT BETHEL. AS COLD SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ARE BEING REINFORCED BY NORTHERLY FLOW...SNOW FALLING
THROUGH THIS WARM LAYER IS MELTING BEFORE RE-FREEZING AT THE
SURFACE. THE DEEP MOISTURE WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM WITH THE
ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS PROMPTED AN UPGRADE OF THE FREEZING RAIN
ADVISORY TO AN ICE STORM WARNING FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

SYNOPTICALLY GUIDANCE REMAINS LOCKED IN TO THE CURRENT PATTERN.
THE BIG CHANGE UPCOMING IS THE UPPER LOW PRESSURE IN THE
NORTHCENTRAL PACIFIC WILL SEND A STRONG DISTURBANCE INTO THE
MAINLAND WHICH WILL ACT TO SHOVE THE RIDGING ALOFT BACK TO THE
EAST AND BRING THE AREA BACK CLOSER TO SEASONABLE
TEMPERATURES...BUT STILL ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

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

THE BIG STORY FOR TODAY WILL BE DETERMINING WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO
REACH RECORD DAILY HIGHS...AND IN SOME CASES ALL-TIME MARCH RECORD
HIGH TEMPERATURES. IT WILL BE A DRY AND SUNNY DAY FOR ALMOST ALL
OF SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...ESPECIALLY EARLY IN THE DAY...WITH
INCREASING THICKNESS OF HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE COOK INLET REGION...WHICH
WILL LIKELY HELP TO CAP TEMPERATURES FROM EXCEEDING THE RECORD
MARCH DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE AT ANCHORAGE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
(THE MARCH RECORD IS 51 SET A WEEK AGO ON MARCH 24TH).

THE EXCEPTION WILL BE KODIAK ISLAND WHERE CLOUDS FROM THE NEXT
APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM BEGIN SPREADING NORTH. THE FRONT WILL
CROSS KODIAK ISLAND THURSDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE NORTH ACROSS THE
KENAI PENINSULA EARLY FRIDAY MORNING...REACHING MAINLAND
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. ONSHORE RESIDUAL SHOWER
ACTIVITY WILL THEN LAST THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SNOW LEVELS
BEGINNING TO LOWER ALLOWING FOR SOME ACCUMULATIONS ALONG HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE ROAD SYSTEM...SUCH AS ALONG THE PARKS HIGHWAY
HEADING TOWARD THE PARK AND THROUGH THOMPSON PASS ALONG THE
RICHARDSON HIGHWAY.

&&

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

A VERY POTENT WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY THIS
MORNING. PRECIPITATION TYPE REMAINS QUITE THE CHALLENGE THIS
MORNING AS FREEZING RAIN HAS PERSISTED AT BETHEL THE MAJORITY OF
THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS WHILE WEST OF BETHEL HAS
SEEN STEADY SNOWFALL. TEMPERATURES NEAR BETHEL WILL LIKELY REMAIN
BELOW FREEZING UNTIL ABOUT NOON WHEN ANY LINGERING PRECIPITATION
THAT FALLS WILL FALL AS RAIN. ALTHOUGH SIGNIFICANT WARM AIR IS
MOVING IN ALOFT (AS SEEN ON THE 12Z PABE RAOB)...STRONG NORTHEASTERLY
WINDS CONTINUE TO TAP INTO AND FILTER COLDER AIR FROM THE INTERIOR.
FREEZING RAIN BY NATURE WARMS UP SURFACE TEMPERATURES AS LATENT
HEAT IS RELEASED WHEN THE RAIN FREEZES...BUT WITH THIS COLD AIR
FEED TEMPERATURES SHOULD REALLY STRUGGLE TO CLIMB. WEST OF BETHEL
SHOULD SEE ADDITIONAL SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE RANGE OF 2 TO 4 INCHES
AS THE BULK OF WARMER AIR SHOULD REMAIN OFF TO THE EAST. THE
EXTREME WESTERN PORTION OF THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY (INCLUDING
ANIAK) WILL SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING AND WILL MOVE OUT AROUND SUNRISE.

ANOTHER FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE ACROSS THE AREA AGAIN ON FRIDAY
BUT IT DOES NOT LOOK AS IF PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE OF MUCH
CONCERN. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE FREEZING DURING MUCH OF
THE EVENT WHICH WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD RAINFALL. THIS RAIN MAY
MIX WITH SNOW ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND LOWER KUSKOKWIM
VALLEY DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS TEMPERATURES DIP BELOW
FREEZING BUT ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MINOR.

&&

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

THE AFOREMENTIONED WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS THIS MORNING BEFORE GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. GUSTY WINDS OF 40 TO 50 MPH WILL BE SEEN
ACROSS THE PRIBS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHICH WILL LEAD
TO SOME BLOWING SNOW CONDITIONS...BUT VISIBILITIES WILL REMAIN
HIGH ENOUGH THAT NO ADVISORY IS WARRANTED. A TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL
DEVELOP ALONG A SECOND FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL STRENGTHEN AS IT
PUSHES INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE BERING SEA FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN TO THE EASTERN
THIRD OF THE BERING SEA WHILE THE REST OF THE BERING SEA SHOULD
SEE WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

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

THE WEEKEND WILL BRING A SLIGHT COOLING TREND TO THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND AS THE UPPER RIDGE OVERHEAD IS DISPLACED TO THE NORTH AND
EAST. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL STILL REMAIN ABOVE SEASONAL
NORMAL VALUES AND SLOWLY REBOUND THROUGH THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS
BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE GULF AND THE RIDGE AXIS
RESIDES JUST NORTH OF THE AREA OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR. THE
ONSHORE FLOW WILL ALSO MAINTAIN HIGHER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION
ALONG THE GULF COAST...WITH MORE SPORADIC SHOWERY CONDITIONS
INLAND OWING TO DOWNSLOPE FLOW IN THE LEE OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAIN
RANGES. FARTHER WEST...A LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL ENCOMPASS THE BERING
REGION AND KEEP A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE BERING AND
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND FOR MUCH OF THE NEXT WEEK.
