SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
436 PM AKDT SUN APR 24 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE GULF. SOME MOISTURE FROM THIS
LOW IS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL PRODUCING SOME SHOWERS...MAINLY ALONG
THE COAST. THERE IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED SOUTH OF THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THERE IS A 970 MB SURFACE LOW ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS UPPER LOW...AND IT IS CURRENTLY PRODUCING STORM FORCE WINDS
SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR. THE MAIN FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM
STRETCHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST GULF WESTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN AND
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS...THEN NORTH ACROSS THE BERING SEA. A LARGE
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS OVER MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA...AN EXTENSION
OF THE WESTERN NORTH AMERICA RIDGE.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE SHORT TERM
PORTION OF THE FORECAST (THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON). THERE ARE OF
COURSE SOME MINOR DIFFERENCES ON TIMING AND STRENGTH OF SOME
FEATURES...BUT NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE CONCERN. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
THUS ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

&&

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

THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IN THE SOUTH CENTRAL GULF WEAKENS TO A
TROUGH AND PUSHES NORTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND OVERNIGHT
INTO MON MORNING. PRIOR TO THIS TROUGH PUSHING THROUGH A RIDGE
WILL BUILD QUICKLY ALONG THE GULF COAST CREATING GAP WINDS
THROUGH THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS AND INCREASING THE CROSS BARRIER
FLOW. THE NEXT STORM ON TAP IS NOW AFFECTING THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THE FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH SOUTHEAST AND WILL MOVE
INTO THE SOUTHWEST GULF OF ALASKA TONIGHT AND OVERTAKE THE
REMNANTS OF THE CURRENT GULF SYSTEM. THE FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS
KODIAK ISLAND BY MORNING AND IN ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST
TOMORROW AFTERNOON. IN ADVANCE OF THIS FRONT WILL BE ANOTHER SHARP
RIDGE THAT WILL ENHANCE THE CROSS BARRIER FLOW GAP WIND AND LEE
SIDE DOWN SLOPE DRYING MONDAY. THE STRONG EAST SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL
PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AS THE MAIN LOW SLOWLY SLIDES EAST
INTO THE GULF AND WEAKENS TUESDAY EVENING. THE OVERALL THEME OF
WET COOL CONDITIONS ALONG THE COAST WITH CROSS BARRIER DRYING ON
THE LEE OF THE COASTAL MOUNTAINS LOOKS TO REMAIN ON TAP FOR THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
A THERMAL TROUGH CLIPPING THE AREA WILL BRING CONVECTIVE RAIN
SHOWERS TO THE INTERIOR SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING...HOWEVER WITH WEAK
INSTABILITY NO THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED. ON MONDAY...CLOUD COVER
AND MOISTURE WILL INCREASE SLIGHTLY AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES
FROM THE SOUTH. THIS FRONT WILL BRING GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS
PRIMARILY TO THE ALEUTIAN AND ALASKA RANGES THAT WILL PERSIST INTO
MONDAY EVENING. FOR THE REST OF THE AREA...THIS FRONT WILL BRING
WEAK OFFSHORE FLOW...CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
THROUGH MONDAY EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN DISSIPATE OVER THE
AREA ON TUESDAY WITH CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS
CONTINUING...BUT WITH DIMINISHING WINDS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE EARLY TERM FORECAST CONTINUES TO FOCUS AROUND THE STORM FORCE
LOW SPINNING JUST SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING STORM FORCE GUSTS TO THE UNALASKA AREA THROUGH THIS
EVENING...WITH WIDESPREAD GALES STRETCHING INTO THE AKPEN. THIS
LOW WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND.
BEHIND THIS LOW...A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE WESTERN BERING
WILL BRING RAIN SHOWERS TO THE AREA WITH NORTHERLY FLOW BELOW GALE
FORCE.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
EXPECT A CONTINUATION OF THE CURRENT PATTERN AND CONDITIONS FROM
WEDNESDAY EVENING ONWARD. THE GULF COAST WILL SEE MOST OF THE RAIN
AS A SERIES OF WEAKENING FRONTS MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GULF.
OVERALL MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS AND RAIN...WITH SEVERAL HALF-DAY
OR SO BREAKS BETWEEN FRONTS AND DISTURBANCES ALOFT THAT WILL BRING
MORE RAIN SHOWERS. INLAND ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL WILL BE SPARED FROM
MUCH OF THE MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PATTERN...HOWEVER SOME
SPOTTY RAIN OR SHOWERS WILL COME OVER THE MOUNTAINS AT TIMES.
CLOUD COVER WILL BE INCREASED BUT WILL HAVE BREAKS AT TIMES...MUCH
LIKE THE CURRENT SCENARIO WHERE MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL BUT BREAKS OF SUN WILL COME IN AT TIMES. OUT WEST THE
FORECAST IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT...MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH
SPOTTY RAIN FOR THE MAINLAND. THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA
PENINSULA WILL SEE MORE STEADY RAIN ON WEDNESDAY EVENING...BUT
MORE SHOWERY RAIN WILL MOVE IN AFTER THAT WITH PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY CONDITIONS.

THE DRIVER OF THE FLOW PATTERN ALOFT IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS A
VERY ZONAL EAST ASIAN JET EXTENSION WELL INTO THE NORTHER PACIFIC.
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS IN THE FLOW WILL SPAWN TRIPLE POINT DEVELOPMENT
ALONG THE WEAKENING FRONTS...MAINLY SOUTH OF THE CHAIN...HOWEVER
THE REMNANTS WILL MOVE NORTHWARD AND AFFECT THE CHAIN AS THEY
DISSIPATE. THIS PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK...BUT THE LONGWAVE TRANSLATES EASTWARD BRIEFLY AS A STRONG
KAMCHATKA SYSTEM DEVELOPS TOWARD THE WEEKEND.
