SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
433 AM AKDT TUE APR 19 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A BROAD LONGWAVE TROUGH IS CURRENTLY STRETCHED OVER MUCH OF THE
BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE ROUNDING THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH AND TRACKING OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA. AT THE
SURFACE...A COMPLEX LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL
BERING/ALEUTIANS WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT EASTWARD...WITH A WEAKENING
WEATHER FRONT EXTENDING OVER THE SOUTHWEST GULF THROUGH THE
SOUTHWESTERN MAINLAND AND INTO THE NORTHERN BERING. THE FRONTAL
SYSTEM HAS NOT ONLY STARTED TO USHER IN PRECIPITATION AND GUSTY
WINDS TO THE AREA...BUT HAS ALSO STARTED TO BRING IN SOME WARMER
TEMPERATURES TO THE SOUTHWESTERN MAINLAND AND WESTERN GULF.

FURTHER EAST...A LINGERING WEAK LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA HAS
CAUSED UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS. AFTERNOON
SHOWERS POPPING UP OVER THE MOUNTAINS HAVE LOOKED DRAMATIC BUT
PRODUCED NO LIGHTNING STRIKES AND MINIMAL PRECIPITATION. WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE NOW SET UP OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA AND
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...CONDITIONS HAVE STARTED TO STABILIZE OVER
THE AREA. THIS HAS REDUCED THE AMOUNT OF SHOWERS SEEN OVER THE
AREA...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO LIMIT THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN PRETTY GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT...WITH SOME MINOR
DIFFERENCES IN HANDLING THE LOW OUT WEST AS WE HEAD INTO THE
WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THE NAM SOLUTION STARTED TO BECOME
THE OUTLIER WEDNESDAY EVENING FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE...BEING
THE SLOWER SOLUTION WITH THE LOWS SPINNING AROUND THE EASTERN AND
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS/BERING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THE NAM AND GFS
WERE MOSTLY USED EARLY ON FOR THEIR DETAILS AND SINCE THEY WERE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT. HOWEVER...AN EC/GFS BLEND WAS USED FROM WEDNESDAY
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM FOR THE LOW POSITIONING
OUT WEST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA WILL DRIFT NORTH TODAY AND
TONIGHT AS A FRONT OVER THE GULF MOVES NORTH. THIS FRONT WILL PUSH
INTO THE KENAI PENINSULA TODAY AND STALL THERE THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION WILL FALL MAINLY ON THE EASTERN KENAI AS
WELL AS KODIAK ISLAND...WITH INLAND AREAS GETTING VERY LITTLE OR
NO SHOWERS. ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN FROM
THE WEST AND FORCE THE FRONT BACK TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST. THE FRONT
WILL ALSO WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BY LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
WITH LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BERING AND RIDGING OUT EAST...SOUTHEAST
FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THIS
WILL KEEP MOST OF THE RAIN ON THE SOUTHEASTERN SIDE OF THE
MOUNTAIN RANGES. A SHORTWAVE WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON BRIEFLY BRINGING HEAVIER RAIN AS IT PASSES.
AS THE HIGH WEAKENS AND PUSHES OFF THE THE EAST THE WINDS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST WILL ALSO GRADUALLY DIMINISH. HOWEVER...AREAS THROUGH
CHANNELED TERRAIN MAY STILL SEE GUSTS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
WITH BROAD LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BERING THE GENERAL FLOW PATTERN
WILL BE CYCLONIC WITH WESTERLY WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE
ALEUTIANS...SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERLY
WINDS OVER THE NORTHERN BERING. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE OUT
EAST WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE. THIS
PATTERN IS ALSO CONDUCIVE FOR SHOWERS WHICH WILL REMAIN OVER THE
AREA FOR SEVERAL DAYS.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
CONTINUES TO PHASE IN WITH A 500 MB CLOSED LOW OVER THE CENTRAL
BERING SEA. THIS SYNOPTIC FEATURE HAS AN ASSOCIATED TROUGH
EXTENDING THROUGH THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC.
THE AFOREMENTIONED SYNOPTIC FEATURES WILL TRANSITION INTO A BROAD
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REFLECTED AT THE SURFACE OVER THE CENTRAL TO
EASTERN ALEUTIAN CHAIN HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL PRODUCE
A SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME FOR THE BERING AND THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN.
WHILE THE SOUTHWESTERN COASTLINE WILL HAVE SOME SHOWERY
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE WEEK WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION. THE SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF NEGATIVE TILTED RIDGE THAT WILL BUILD OVER THE SOUTHEAST
PANHANDLE EXTENDING TO THE NORTHWEST INTO THE ALASKA RANGE. WHILE
THE GULF WILL HAVE UPPER LEVEL CLOSED LOWS THAT WILL ROTATE AROUND
IN THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH LOCATED THROUGH THE GULF. THIS
WILL SEND SHORTWAVES THROUGH THE GULF RESULTING IN MAJORITY OF THE
PRECIPITATION OCCURRING ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF AND THE COASTAL
COMMUNITIES. THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA WILL
RECEIVE DRIER CONDITIONS DUE TO THE CROSS-BARRIER FLOW HEADING
INTO THE WEEKEND. WITH A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED OVER THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND ANOTHER SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS
SPINNING UP TOWARDS THE ALASKA PENINSULA FRIDAY. BY SATURDAY THE
MEAN UPPER LOW POSITION WILL SHIFT TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WITH
SEVERAL ADDITIONAL FRONTAL SYSTEMS ROTATING ACROSS THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND THEN PROGRESSIVELY FURTHER EAST INTO THE GULF
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
