Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
552 PM AKDT WED MAY 18 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Three different upper level lows are spread out over the area
bringing rain to the Southcentral and Southwest Alaska. One is
near Norton Sound and is beginning to merge with another low over
the Central Bering. The third low is over the Eastern Gulf and is
tracking to the southeast. Between the Gulf low and the merging
lows, high pressure is building in over the Western Gulf.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
In the short term the models are in good agreement, but there are
some discrepancies moving into the mid term. One issue is with a
North Pacific low moving towards the AK Pen on Thursday. The EC
has a much weaker solution resulting in much weaker winds. There
are also differences with the timing of this system which has an
impact on when the winds will get to the AK Pen and then to the
Western Gulf and Kodiak Island.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The axis of the ridge in the Gulf will remain just to our east
for the next couple of days. This will allow for one last
shortwave to rotate through the flow, continuing cloud coverage
across the area. These shortwaves will also aid in some shower
development, mainly across the Susitna Valley.

The bigger story will be a pattern change that will be arriving
towards the end of the week. The ridge over the Gulf and a trough
stalling in the eastern Bering Sea will allow for the subtropical
jet to strengthen and push northward. As such this jet will be
bringing much warmer and more moist air into the region. At the
surface a North Pacific low will develop and ride northward along
this jet.

With the front moving into the Gulf, the next question becomes
what happens to this front for the end of the week. Some
solutions would have the front dissipating with little to no precipitation
for the area. Other solutions would push the front up into the
region with widespread coverage of rain and showers with some
lighter precipitation across the interior with possible
downsloping winds. For the time being the current forecast is
calling for a wetter solution.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The southwest mainland will transition to a broad onshore flow
pattern today as an upper low near Norton Sound retrogrades
offshore and merges with another low over the north-central
Bering. This will help to further stabilize the air mass over the
Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay regions, with morning showers
tapering off as cooler marine influenced air is advected over the
mainland. The exception will be across the Lower Kuskokwim Valley,
where the potential for isolated thunderstorm activity will linger
into the afternoon as relatively clear skies early in the day
allow for a little more surface heating and generation of modest
instability. Convective potential should completely subside by
tonight as onshore flow continues. Thursday will bring the
potential for steadier stratiform rain lasting into Friday as an
upper level wave and surface front over the North Pacific move
towards the area, aided by strong dynamic support in the form of
a sw-ne oriented 130 knot jet streak pointed towards bristol bay.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
weak shower activity will continue across the central bering as a
pair of upper waves consolidate into a large upper low which will
remain over the northern half of the Bering through Thursday
night. Otherwise, the bulk of the activity will be focused along
the Alaska Peninsula as the complex system over the North Pacific
slides northeastward towards the area. Meanwhile, the Western
Bering will remain in a benign regime dominated by low stratus
and fog.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Starting in the Friday evening time frame, a vertically stacked
North Pacific low just south of Sand Point will track
northeastward up the western flank of the ridge and over Kodiak
Island by saturday. this feature will start to push the ridging
over the gulf further eastward over the Eastern Gulf by Saturday
afternoon. The second in a series of fronts associated with this
weakening North Pacific low will track over Kodiak Island and the
western gulf friday night, then push northeastward into the
northern gulf coast and Southern Mainland by Saturday morning.
this will bring another round of steady rain to much of the Gulf
Coast and Southern Mainland through Saturday night. Models
continue to struggle with the overall track and timing of these
systems, as it tracks northward through the gulf and into the
Southern Mainland. The NAM was the outlier today being the
slowest solution, where the EC and Canadian models started to
trend toward the preferred GFS's faster and more northerly
solution.

Meanwhile, the Bering Sea and Aleutians will stay clear of
significant large-scale weather systems through the middle of next
week. The only exception will be the Eastern Bering/Aleutians and
Alaska Peninsula that will receive some winds and rainfall from
the above mentioned systems tracking in from the North Pacific
Friday night through Saturday morning. In general, this means the
area will experience typical warm-season conditions such as calm
winds, widespread low-clouds, and some foggy conditions over the
bering and Southwest coast. The models are slowly coming into
better agreement with high pressure building over the eastern
Bering/Aleutians and Southwestern Mainland over the weekend, then
shifting and strengthening over the Central and Eastern
Bering/Aleutians and into the beginning by Wednesday. Models are
also struggling with the next low/front tracking in from the west
over the western aleutians by mid week. Given the continued model
differences regarding these systems and overall pattern, forecast
confidence remains low through out the long term.
