SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
418 PM AKDT THU APR 21 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS STABLE WITH LONG-WAVE TROUGH OVER THE BERING
SEA/NORTH PACIFIC. EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TROUGH IS A VERY LARGE
CYCLONIC CIRCULATION CENTERED ALONG THE ALEUTIANS. A TRAIN OF
UPPER WAVES CONTINUES TO ROTATE AROUND THIS CIRCULATION...TRACKING
ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC THEN NORTHWARD TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA
THEN WESTWARD ACROSS THE BERING SEA. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...THERE
IS A WEAK BAROCLINIC ZONE FROM THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA TO
THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS ALONG WITH A DEVELOPING WEAK SURFACE LOW RIGHT
NEAR THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE PENINSULA. RAIN AND WINDS ARE FOCUSED
ALONG THIS CORRIDOR.

WEAK UPPER RIDGING DOMINATES THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA
TODAY WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. OFFSHORE
FLOW ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL IS LEADING TO QUICKLY WARMING
TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY ALONG PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WHERE LOCALLY
STRONGER GAP WINDS ARE IN FORCE. THE FLOW DOES NOT APPEAR STRONG
ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY HOLD OFF SEA BREEZES...BUT THEY WILL BE LIGHT
AND COME LATE IN THE DAY. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS
TRACKING NORTHWARD ALONG THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE DOWNSTREAM
BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND WESTERN CANADA. A FAIRLY
THICK CIRRUS SHIELD IS SPREADING ACROSS THE GULF AND INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL. THIS WILL HAVE SOME MODERATING AFFECT ON HIGH
TEMPERATURES LATER TODAY.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THERE ARE SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS OF LOW POSITIONS
THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...ESPECIALLY WITH THE ELONGATING AND
WEAKENING LOW ALONG THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN
BERING SEA THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THESE
DIFFERENCES HAVE FAIRLY MINOR IMPACTS ON THE RESULTANT FORECAST.
OVERALL FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS ABOVE AVERAGE.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (FRIDAY AND SATURDAY)...

CLOUDS ARE INCREASING AGAIN AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES QUICKLY THROUGH
THE GULF TOWARD OUR REGION. CLOUDS WILL THICKEN UP BY MID MORNING
WITH RAIN LIKELY ALONG THE COAST BY THE MID-MORNING HOURS
TOMORROW. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT BE A PARTICULAR STRONG OR LONG
LASTING WEATHER FEATURE...BUT IT WILL MAKE FOR A MUCH CLOUDIER AND
A BIT COOLER DAY ON FRIDAY COMPARED TO TODAY (THURSDAY). WHAT RAIN
DOES FALL WILL BE CONFINED ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FAVORED
UPSLOPE AREAS ALONG THE GULF COAST...WITH THE INLAND POPULATION
CENTERS SEEING VERY LITTLE AS USUAL. BY SATURDAY A MORE IMPRESSIVE
LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF WITH AN ASSOCIATED FRONT
WRAPPING AROUND TO THE NORTH AND AFFECTING THE EASTERN KENAI
PENINSULA AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND REGIONS WITH MORE WIDESPREAD
AND IMPRESSIVE CHANCES OF RAINFALL FOR THE WEEKEND. RECENT MODEL
RUNS HAVE BEGUN TO SUGGEST THAT THIS FRONT WILL STALL ALONG THE
COAST...WHICH MEANS NOT ONLY WILL INLAND AREAS AGAIN LIKELY STAY
DRY BUT MAY SEE A BIT MORE SUN THIS WEEKEND THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

&&

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

BROAD LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN BERING AND A PERSISTENT
SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP THE REGION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
WEAKENING SYSTEMS MOVING IN FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC. PARTIAL
CLEARING TONIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW WILL GIVE WAY TO MORE
CLOUDINESS AND INCREASING EASTERLY WINDS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. SOME SHOWERS WILL ACCOMPANY WEAK DISTURBANCES PASSING
THROUGH THE FLOW NEAR AND ALONG THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN MOUNTAIN
RANGES...SPREADING TO THE AHKLUN MOUNTAINS/KILBUCK MOUNTAINS. THIS
PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY AS THE MAIN PACIFIC STORM
TRACK REMAINS WELL TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION.

&&

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

A DEFORMATION ZONE OVER THE EASTERN BERING WILL SHIFT WEST TONIGHT
AND SPREAD RAIN INTO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS THROUGH THIS
EVENING...AS WELL AS CONTINUED RAIN ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS.
THE ASSOCIATED LOW WILL REMAIN IN PLACE JUST WEST OF COLD
BAY...AND WILL SHIFT EAST ENOUGH TO SUPPORT INCREASING RAIN
CHANCES INTO DUTCH HARBOR BY TOMORROW. A WEAK NORTH PACIFIC LOW
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY...SPREADING MORE RAIN AND SHOWERY ACTIVITY INTO THE
BERING...BUT OTHERWISE REMAINING RATHER QUIET IMPACT WISE INTO
SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE MODELS ARE DEPICTING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM JUST SOUTH OF ADAK
STARTING OUT THE WEEKEND. BY SATURDAY NIGHT THERE WILL BE A SECOND
LOW FORMING AT THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH LOCATED SOUTH OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM. THESE TWO SYNOPTIC FEATURES WILL PHASE
INTO ONE 978 MB GALE FORCE LOW POSITIONED JUST SOUTH OF DUTCH
HARBOR BY SUNDAY EVENING. THIS WILL BRING GALE FORCE EASTERLY
WINDS ON THE PACIFIC SIDE FOR THE EASTERN ALEUTAINS. THIS SYSTEM
WILL EVOLVE INTO A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND WILL EVENTUALLY
MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL BERING BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL
RESULT NORTHEASTERLY FLOW RESULTING IN A SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME
FOR THE BERING AND THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN THROUGH THURSDAY. THE
GFS/ECMWF WERE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACKING OF THIS
SYSTEM EXCEPT FOR THE NAM BEING THE OUTLIER. WHILE THE NAM KEPT
TRACKING THIS SYSTEM FARTHER SOUTH IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL
NEGATIVELY TILTED RIDGE ALONG THE SOUTHEAST PANHANDLE EXTENDING
TOWARDS THE EASTERN BROOKS RANGE. THIS WILL KEEP WEATHER SYSTEMS
IN THE LOWER GULF WITH THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION REMAINING
ALONG THE NORTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN COASTAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH NEXT
WEEK. THE ANCHORAGE BOWL WILL SEE SOME MOISTURE SPILLING OVER THE
CHUGACH MOUNTAINS BUT FOR THE MOST PART WILL HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS
WITH THE CROSS-BARRIER FLOW. AS THESE SHORTWAVES PUSH THROUGH THE
SOUTHCENTRAL AREA THEY WILL EXIT INTO THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA REGION.
THIS WILL BRING A SHOWERY REGIME FOR THE BRISTOL BAY INTERIOR AND
THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AREA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE
TEMPERATURES FOR BOTH SOUTHCENTRAL/SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL REMAIN
WELL ABOVE NORMAL HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK.
