SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
355 PM AKDT TUE APR 26 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS IN CONTROL OF THE WEATHER PATTERN
OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA TODAY. THE MAIN STACKED LOW CENTER JUST
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS IS SLOWLY MOVING EAST. A SECOND
LOW LOCATED FURTHER EAST OVER THE SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA IS
WEAKENING INTO AN OPEN WAVE THAT STRETCHES FROM THE EASTERN BERING
THROUGH THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF OF ALASKA. AT THE SURFACE...A
ZONALLY ORIENTATED FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND ALASKA
PENINSULA IS SUPPORTING SHOWERS. WITH GENERAL SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
OVER THE NORTHERN GULF...THE HEAVIEST RAIN IS OCCURRING ALONG THE
COASTAL MOUNTAINS WHILE THE UPPER COOK INLET AREA IS LARGELY DRY
IN THE TYPICAL PRECIPITATION SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAINS. GUSTY WINDS
OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ARE GRADUALLY RAMPING UP IN FAVORABLE
SOUTHEAST/NORTHWEST GAPS AS THE ADVANCING FRONT TIGHTENS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT AMID CHANNELED TERRAIN. FURTHER WEST...AN UPPER
WAVE AND A SURFACE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIANS IS SUPPORTING SHOWERS ALONG THE ISLAND CHAIN AND THE
SOUTHERN BERING SEA.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT SYNOPTICALLY. SOME DIFFERENCES
ARISE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS A WAVE ROTATES AROUND THE MAIN
ALEUTIAN LOW. THE WAVE WILL PUSH NORTHWARD TO THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND SOUTHERN KODIAK ISLAND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE EC AND THE GEM MODELS ARE DEVELOPING A LOW
WITHIN THE WAVE BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHILE THE AMERICAN MODELS (THE
NAM AND GFS) ARE KEEPING MORE OF AN OPEN WAVE WITHOUT DEVELOPING A
CLOSED CIRCULATION. THE IMPACTS TO THE FORECAST OF THESE
DIFFERENCES ARE MINIMAL HOWEVER AND THE NAM SOLUTION WAS FAVORED
WITH THE HANDLING OF THIS FEATURE FOR THE AFTERNOON FORECAST
PACKAGE. ELSEWHERE...WITH MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT...THE HIGH
RESOLUTION NAM AND GEM MODELS WERE USED TO BEST CAPTURE THE LOCAL
EFFECTS WITHIN THE SHOWERY/GUSTY PATTERN.

&&

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

A SERIES OF FRONTS WILL PUSH THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA THROUGH
THURSDAY AND UPSLOPE ALONG THE COASTAL RANGE. THIS WILL PRODUCE
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL FOR LOCATIONS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE GULF
COAST...WHICH IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR THIS TYPE OF SET UP. MUCH OF THE
INTERIOR OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WILL REMAIN ON THE DRY SIDE WITH
CROSS BARRIER FLOW ALONG MOUNTAINS DOWNSLOPING OUT MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION. A WEAK SURFACE RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE GULF COAST THIS EVENING WHICH WILL BRING A PUSH OF ISALLOBARIC
WINDS THROUGH TYPICAL GAPS AND PASSES (TURNAGAIN ARM...PORTAGE
VALLEY...KNIK RIVER VALLEY AND COPPER RIVER). THESE GUSTY WINDS
WILL SEE PEAKS AND VALLEYS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE
GRADIENT FLUCTUATES BUT GUSTY WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD. COME THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WE WILL START SEEING
DAILY CONVECTION ALONG THE ALASKA RANGE...WRANGELL MOUNTAINS AND
PARTS OF THE TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS WHICH WILL BRING SOME SCATTERED
RAIN SHOWERS. INSTABILITY AND LAPSE RATES LOOK RATHER UNFAVORABLE
SO NO THUNDERSTORMS ARE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
PERSISTENT EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY AS A SERIES
OF SHORTWAVES MOVE OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL KEEP GENERALLY CLOUDY
SKIES AND SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE AREA AS THE PARENT LOW SLOWLY
PASSES TO THE SOUTH. MOST OF THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD OCCUR
DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS AS PARTIAL CLEARING DURING THE
DAY WILL HELP BRING INSTABILITY...ESPECIALLY TO INLAND AREAS.
WINDS IN THIS PATTERN WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY LIGHT THROUGHOUT THE
AREA UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN A FRONT WILL APPROACH BRISTOL
BAY...BRINGING GUSTY WINDS THERE INTO THURSDAY MORNING THAT SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF ADAK WILL BRING GENERALLY SMALL
CRAFT WINDS AND RAIN TO THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN BERING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. THERE MAY BE SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS AS THE INITIAL FRONT
PUSHES THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THIS EVENING...BUT THIS
SHOULD QUICKLY MOVE THROUGH...KEEPING WINDS GENERALLY BELOW GALE
FORCE THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. AS THIS LOW SLOWLY MOVES INTO THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON THURSDAY...NORTHERLY FLOW AND SHOWERS WILL
PREVAIL OVER THE WESTERN BERING/ALEUTIANS INTO FRIDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THE 500MB 5-WAVE GEOPOTENTIAL HEIGHT IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW
THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE BERING EXTENDING THROUGH THE CHAIN
INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC OCEAN. WHILE THE SOUTHEAST PANHANDLE HAS
A NEGATIVE TILTED RIDGE EXTENDING TOWARDS THE NORTHWEST INTO THE
EASTERN BROOKS RANGE. THIS SYNOPTIC PATTERN WILL RESULT IN A
SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME OVER THE BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS WITH
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS WILL HAVE A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FORMING BY THURSDAY WITH
A SECONDARY LOW FORMING IN THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH. THESE
TWO SYSTEMS WILL PHASE INTO A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF
UNALASKA BY FRIDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL TRACK INTO THE WESTERN GULF
JUST NORTH OF KODIAK BY SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRING A LARGE SWATH OF
MOISTURE WITH GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE NORTHERN/WESTERN COASTAL
COMMUNITIES. LOOK FOR THE INLAND AREAS THROUGH THE ANCHORAGE BOWL
AND THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA TO HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS WITH
CROSS-BARRIER FLOW. THE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE WELL
ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS COINCIDES WITH THE JET
STREAM TRANSITIONING FROM A ZONAL FLOW TO A STRONG 140 KNOT
SOUTHERLY JET STREAM OVER THE GULF BY FRIDAY. THIS SYNOPTIC
FEATURE WILL ADVECT WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
