SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
518 AM AKDT MON APR 25 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW GUIDING MUCH OF THE WEATHER OCCURRING ACROSS
SOUTHERN ALASKA REMAINS SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA THIS
MORNING. THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE LOW IS JUST SLIGHTLY OFFSET
WEST OF THE CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW. A STRONG FRONT NORTH AND EAST
OF THE SURFACE LOW IS KEEPING THE WINDS VERY GUSTY ALONG THE
ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS. SCATTEROMETER DATA SHOW
THE STRONG WINDS ARE CONFINED TO A RELATIVELY NARROW CORRIDOR
BETWEEN THE FRONT AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA/EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THE
FRONT AND THE LAND AREAS ARE LIKELY ACTING AS WALLS...FUNNELING THE
WINDS BETWEEN THEM AND SPEEDING THE WINDS UP.

A SECOND FRONT IS DRAPED EAST-WEST FROM THE COPPER RIVER BASIN
ACROSS ANCHORAGE AND OVER TO NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY AND THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA. SOME UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION PERSISTS ON RADAR
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT FROM NORTHERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
ACROSS TO THE SOUTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY. A MORE CONVECTIVE AIR MASS
LIES BETWEEN THE TWO FRONTS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF TO THE SOUTHERN
COOK INLET...AS MIDDLETON ISLAND RADAR SHOWS SCATTERED SHOWERS
MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA CONTAINING ECHOES THAT
SHOW THERE IS MODERATE RAINFALL EMBEDDED.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

WITH THE STAGNANT WEATHER PATTERN THAT CONTINUES ACROSS SOUTHERN
ALASKA...THE MODELS REMAIN IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON THE BROAD
SYNOPTIC SCALE SHOWING HOW THE LOWS AND VARIOUS FRONTS DRAPED
ACROSS A PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK OVER
THE COMING DAYS. THE LARGER MODEL DISCREPANCIES REMAIN WITH
DEALING WITH THE SMALLER FEATURES INFLUENCING THE WEATHER IN
LOCALIZED AREAS. CERTAINLY A VERY PERSISTENT FORECAST PROBLEM
REMAINS WHETHER THE TURNAGAIN ARM WIND WILL TURN INTO SOUTH AND
WEST ANCHORAGE...FOR EXAMPLE. FURTHER...SMALL SCALE CHANGES MODEL
RUN TO MODEL RUN IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE BIGGER FEATURES MAY BE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUNNY DAY AND A RAINY ONE FOR CERTAIN
LOCALES. GENERALLY A NAM/GFS BLEND WAS USED WITH THE NAM'S HIGHER
RESOLUTION HELPING RESOLVE SOME OF THE SMALLER SCALE PROBLEM
FEATURES. FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH FOR THE LARGE FEATURES AND
AVERAGE FOR THE SMALLER SCALE ONES.

&&

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

A SERIES OF FRONTAL TROUGHS MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE GULF CONTINUE
UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL.
TODAY...A TROUGH EXTENDING WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND MOVES INTO THE INTERIOR THIS AFTERNOON. A STRONG FRONTAL
TROUGH MOVING NORTH IN THE GULF WILL BRING WIDESPREAD GALES TO
MANY MARINE AREAS TODAY. PRESSURE GRADIENTS INCREASE ACROSS THE
MAINLAND WITH STRONG RIDGING ALONG THE COAST AND LOW PRESSURE
INLAND. THE RESULT WILL BE STRONG EASTERLY GAP FLOWS ACROSS
TURNAGAIN ARM/PORTAGE AS WELL AS GUSTY SE WINDS OUT OF KNIK RIVER
VALLEY. RAIN WILL GENERALLY BE CONFINED TO THE COASTS WITH LESSER
AMOUNTS INLAND DUE TO DOWNSLOPE DRYING.

TONIGHT/TUE...A FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPS OVER THE NORTH GULF THEN
MOVES WEST TOWARD THE KENAI PEN TUE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CONTINUE
STRONG WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF MARINES INTO TUE AFTERNOON
AND HELP TO MAINTAIN BRISK GAP FLOWS IN THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS.
THE STEADY RAIN SHOULD BE GENERALLY CONFINED TO THE COASTS WITH
LESSER AMOUNTS INLAND. ON TUE NIGHT...YET ANOTHER LOW AND FRONT
ENTER THE SOUTHERN GULF.

&&

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

A LARGE SPRAWLING LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL BE THE MAIN
WEATHER MAKER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AS WEAKER LOWS ROTATE AROUND
THE PERIPHERY OF THE LARGER PARENT LOW. THIS WILL KEEP
INTERMITTENT CHANCES FOR LIGHT RAIN AS THESE DISTURBANCES MOVE IN
FROM THE EAST. A STRONG GALE FORCE FRONT THIS MORNING WILL LIFT
NORTH INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION...BRING GUSTY WINDS TO THE AREA
BEFORE WEAKENING TONIGHT.

&&

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

THE GALE FORCE FRONT OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN AND FALL APART THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE ANOTHER WEAKER LOW
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WITH
MOST OF THAT ACTIVITY CENTERED OVER THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN...WITH
DRIER CONDITIONS TOWARD THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. THE STRONGEST WINDS
OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL SUBSIDE DRAMATICALLY BY THIS
AFTERNOON.

&&

.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 ARE EXPECTED...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 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 STEADIER 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 NORTHERN 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.
