SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
428 PM AKDT MON APR 4 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LOW IS SPINNING SOUTHWEST OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA THIS
AFTERNOON...SENDING A STRONG SHORTWAVE TOWARD THE SOUTHERN GULF.
SURROUNDING THIS SYSTEM ARE TWO AMPLIFIED RIDGES...ONE WITH AN
AXIS ACROSS EASTERN ALASKA AND THE OTHER TO THE WEST ACROSS THE
WESTERN BERING. THE JET STREAM IS MOST NOTABLE ACROSS THE EASTERN
PACIFIC THIS AFTERNOON AS A PLUME OF MOISTURE CAN BE SEEN
STRETCHED ACROSS TWO THOUSAND MILES WITH A NORTHEASTWARD
PROGRESSION TOWARD SOUTHEAST ALASKA. AT THE SURFACE...A FRONT
MOVED INTO THE NORTHERN GULF EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH RAIN ALONG
THE BOUNDARY AND GUSTY SMALL CRAFT WINDS.

ACROSS THE BERING...A NORTH TO SOUTH BAND OF PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPED ALONG A DEFORMATION ZONE BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE
ALASKA PENINSULA AND THE RIDGE TO THE WEST. THE CENTRAL BERING
STAYED COLD ENOUGH TO STAY SNOW ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. THIS
HAS COMBINED WITH FAIRLY STRONG WINDS TO CREATE SOME BLOWING SNOW.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING
AND THEN DIVERGE WITH SOLUTIONS FOR A DEEPENING LOW AND FRONT
MOVING TO THE WEST BERING. THERE ARE MINOR ISSUES WITH THE MODEL
INITIATION TODAY ACROSS THE BERING...AND THIS RESULTS IN UNCERTAINTY
ON THE DURATION OF HOW LONG THE DEFORMATION ZONE REMAINS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL BERING.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2...TUE AND WED)...
SATELLITE SHOWS A BEAUTIFUL CLOSED LOW SPINNING NEARLY DUE SOUTH
OF SAND POINT. ITS PRIMARY FRONT IS STARTING TO "CATCH UP" TO THE
REMNANT MOISTURE OF ANOTHER WEAK FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF.
THESE TWO FRONTS WILL CONTINUE TO CONSOLIDATE AS THEY PUSH INTO
THE GULF COAST THIS EVENING. WHILE THE BEST PLUME OF MOISTURE IS
DEFINITELY POINTED TOWARD THE PANHANDLE...THERE WILL STILL BE
PLENTY OF RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONT. HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD
EVEN SEE A FEW INCHES OF SNOW AS PLACES LIKE THOMPSON PASS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PULL A COLDER NORTHEAST WIND UNTIL THE UPPER LEVEL
WAVE PASSES THROUGH. THE OTHER IMPACTING ASPECT OF THE FRONT WILL
BE A GALE-FORCE BARRIER JET IN THE NORTHERN GULF WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED NEAR THE BARREN ISLANDS.

PRECIPITATION WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT INLAND. CROSS BARRIER FLOW
WILL HELP TO KEEP THINGS DRY FOR THE MOST PART FROM AREAS OVER THE
COOK INLET TO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND NORTHWARD. THE LOW WILL
DRIFT SLOWLY EAST AND WILL LEAVE THE ENTIRE AREA UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF MOISTURE IN SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW. ANOTHER WAVE
WILL ROTATE AROUND IT LATE TUE INTO WED. THIS WILL SERVE TO
REINVIGORATE THE FRONT AND BRING THE BEST CHANCE OF SOME
PRECIPITATION MAKING IT INLAND. FLOW WILL FAVOR THE MOUNTAINS OVER
THE SUSITNA VALLEY...SO RAIN AND SNOW WILL BE MOST LIKELY THERE.
SOME UPPER LEVEL COLD AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW WILL MAKE FOR
DECENT INSTABILITY AND HEAVIER SHOWERS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA
...ESPECIALLY WHEN COUPLED WITH WARMER THAN NORMAL APRIL SURFACE
TEMPERATURES. THE PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN MUCH THE SAME THROUGH
WED.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE BULK OF ACTIVE WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW JUST SOUTH OF
SAND POINT REMAINS MOSTLY ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE LOW SHIFTS FURTHER EASTWARD INTO THE
WESTERN GULF BY WEDNESDAY. SOME MOISTURE AND OCCASIONAL SHOWERS
SPILLING OVER INTO THE BRISTOL BAY AREA ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTHERN SYSTEM WILL WORK ITS WAY
NORTHWARD THROUGH TUESDAY...RETURNING MOSTLY CLOUDY SKY FOR MOST
OF THE MAINLAND. THIS MATURE UPPER LEVEL LOW HANGS OUT FOR THE
DURATION OF THE SHORT TERM FORECAST...BUT WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY
WEAKENING THE ENTIRE TIME CAUSING LIGHTER WINDS AND SPOTTY
PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN MUCH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR WITH DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE 40S...EVEN APPROACHING 50
INLAND.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE BERING FORECAST FEATURES A STUBBORN STACKED SYSTEM WITH
DECAYING FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED FROM THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS INTO
THE GULF. THE PRIBILOFS LIE JUST ON THE COLD SIDE OF THE FRONT AND
WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SNOW THROUGH TUESDAY...WHILE EVERYWHERE TO
THE EAST IS ON THE WARM SIDE OF THE FRONT AND EXPERIENCING RAIN.
AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW OVER THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS WILL CONTINUE TO
CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES THIS EVENING...WITH CONDITIONS
IMPROVING LATER THIS EVENING AS THE LOW TRACKS FURTHER EASTWARD
AND THE WINDS AND SNOWFALL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF. CONDITIONS OVER THE
EASTERN BERING WILL THEN BECOME MORE SHOWERY AND WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO DIMINISH...AS THE WEAKENING LOW TRACKS FURTHER
EASTWARD INTO THE WESTERN GULF BY WEDNESDAY. A QUICK MOVING GALE
FORCE FRONT ENTERS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS EARLY TUESDAY MORNING AND
WILL SPREAD EASTWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TUESDAY NIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND INTO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF WET
AND WINDY WEATHER TO THESE AREAS AS IT TRACKS INTO THE CENTRAL
BERING BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE BERING THROUGH
MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. MULTIPLE LOWS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BROAD AREA
PRIMARILY TRACKING WEST TO EAST ALONG THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE
GULF. THIS WILL KEEP MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION ALONG THE ALEUTIANS
AND COAST LINES. HOWEVER...AS THE FRONTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
LOWS MOVE INLAND WINDS WILL PICK UP AND PRECIPITATION WILL PUSH
FURTHER INLAND. AT THIS TIME GUIDANCE IS HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH
THE TIMING OF THESE SYSTEMS SO ENSEMBLE MEANS WERE USED.

&&

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY 195.
