SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
518 AM AKDT WED APR 13 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
BENIGN CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHERN ALASKA THIS
MORNING WITHIN A REGION OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL FLOW BETWEEN A BROAD
COMPLEX LOW OVER THE GULF AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE ARCTIC. THIS
PATTERN YIELDS DRY OFFSHORE FLOW WHICH HAS PAVED THE WAY FOR
CLEARING SKIES ACROSS THE REGION...ALTHOUGH SOME MID AND HIGH
LEVEL CLOUD COVER LINGERS OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AK ON THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE WEAKENING GULF LOW. FARTHER WEST...A LARGE
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS TRACKING EASTWARD ALONG 45N WITH AN
ASSOCIATED FRONT ARCING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS. THIS IS BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW ALONG WITH LOW
END GALE FORCE WINDS TO THESE PARTS OF THE CHAIN. CONDITIONS ARE
MUCH QUIETER ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE BERING BENEATH AN AREA
OF WEAK HIGH PRESSURE.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE REMAINS LOCKED IN ON THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN IN THE
SHORT TERM AS THE LARGE NORTH PACIFIC LOW SKIRTS THE ALEUTIAN
CHAIN AND MOVES TO A POSITION SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND BY FRIDAY
MORNING. CONTINUED TO UTILIZE THE NAM OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AK TO
CAPTURE ENHANCED DETAIL FOR LOCALIZED FEATURES. PREFERRED THE GFS
AS A MIDDLE GROUND SOLUTION OVER THE BERING TO ACCOUNT FOR SLIGHT
DISCREPANCIES WITH THE HANDLING OF THE ALEUTIAN LOW AMONGST THE
OTHER MODELS.

&&

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

AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW LOCATED IN THE
NORTHEAST GULF IS CURRENTLY BRINGING SHOWERS JUST SOUTH OF PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND. THIS WAVE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT BROAD CLOUD
COVER ACROSS THE SOUTHCENTRAL MAINLAND TODAY AS IT PROGRESSES
 WESTWARD. THIS CLOUD COVER SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES A BIT COOLER
TODAY AND GENERALLY BELOW RECORD LEVELS ALTHOUGH STILL WELL ABOVE
AVERAGE. IN ADDITION...THIS WAVE IN COMBINATION WITH SURFACE
HEATING WILL BE ENOUGH FORCING FOR SOME AFTERNOON AND EVENING
SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE MOUNTAINS FROM THE COPPER BASIN TO
THE ANCHORAGE BOWL. PARTIAL CLEARING IS POSSIBLE BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AFTER ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PASSES WEST. THE TIMING IS
STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...BUT IF CLOUDS CLEAR BY THE
AFTERNOON...ANOTHER ROUND OF RECORD TEMPERATURES IS POSSIBLE IN
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL MAINLAND. IN CONTRAST...A FRONT WILL
BEGIN TO APPROACH KODIAK ISLAND BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL
USHER IN STEADIER RAIN FOR THE ISLAND.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
WARM AND SUNNY SPRING-LIKE WEATHER WILL REMAIN AGAIN TODAY WITH
THE ONLY NEAR TERM FORECAST CONCERN BEING A SLIGHT RISK OF PATCHY
FOG IN INTERIOR RIVER VALLEYS THIS MORNING. THIS WILL BEGIN TO
CHANGE FOR BRISTOL BAY ON THURSDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF THE GALE
FORCE FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA...BRINGING A CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE
AREA WITH GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS (ESPECIALLY ALONG THE ALEUTIAN
RANGE). THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA HOWEVER SHOULD REMAIN DRY
FOR THIS SYSTEM AS THE LOW CENTER STAYS SAFELY TO THE SOUTH OVER
THE NORTH PACIFIC...BUT IT WILL BRING INCREASING
CLOUDS...SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
AS HAS BEEN ADVERTISED FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS...THE FOCUS OVER THE
BERING/ALEUTIANS CENTERS AROUND THE GALE FORCE FRONT MOVING
THROUGH THE CHAIN...AND LITTLE HAS CHANGED IN THE OVERALL FORECAST
THINKING. IT STILL APPEARS THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING A MIX OF
RAIN AND WET SNOW THROUGHOUT THE CHAIN BUT WITH NO SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED. WITH THIS SOUTHERN TRACK...THE PRIBILOFS
WILL BE LARGELY SPARED (PARTICULARLY SAINT PAUL) FROM THIS SYSTEM
WITH ONLY A BRIEF PERIOD OF RAIN/SNOW EXPECTED WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...WITH WINDS BELOW GALE-FORCE.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
NO CHANGE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD FORECAST AS THE GENERAL PATTERN
REMAINS THE SAME...WHICH WILL FEATURE A SEMIPERMANENT BERING
TROUGH...WITH THE WEAKENING REMNANTS MOVING INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA. THIS WILL KEEP A GENERAL LOW LEVEL SOUTHEAST FLOW
COMPONENT INLAND...WITH THE MOST SHOWERS REMAINING OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST. INLAND SHOWERS WILL BE FOCUSED ALONG THE
MOUNTAIN RANGES. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN WELL ABOVE
AVERAGE. HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A
DEVELOPING RIDGE ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA...WHICH MAY BRING A PERIOD
OF WARMER AND EVEN DRIER CONDITIONS...BUT THERE REMAINS A LOT OF
UNCERTAINTY ON WHERE AND IF THAT RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS INTO ALASKA.

&&

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
