Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
445 AM AKDT FRI JUN 3 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

There is an arctic trough centered just north of the North Slope
with a Pacific low complex centered south of the Gulf of Alaska. A
stout closed upper high remains over Eastern Siberia. Shortwave
troughs in northerly flow along the periphery of this high, and in
association with the aforementioned arctic trough, can be seen on
satellite imagery moving across southwest Alaska and the eastern
Bering. Southern Alaska in centered in between with an upper level
COL feature in place. Over the Bering, a shortwave ridge axis is
building into the western and central Bering ahead of a
strengthening Pacific warm front.

A weak surface thermal trough exists across southwest Alaska,
centered around the Kuskokwim Mountains. This is where the
most unstable environment exists across southern Alaska with a
stronger onshore gradient across Southcentral keeping inland
instability quite a bit lower. Over the eastern Bering and far
southwest Alaska, dry northerly flow at the surface has resulted
in large swaths of clear skies which is somewhat atypical for this
time of the year.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

The numerical models are in excellent agreement with the general
synoptic pattern. There are slight differences, as usual, with the
depiction of afternoon and evening convective thunderstorms. As a
result, the higher res models were favored for both winds and
precipitation/thunderstorm patterns today and tomorrow. Forecast
confidence is high.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Southcentral Alaska remains in a "col" today with a low over
central Alaska and another over the Gulf. Generally isolated to
scattered showers will continue through Saturday night as the air
mass remains moist. The Susitna valley will see increased shower
activity today as the central Alaska upper low provides a little
extra moisture and dynamics. Conditions will remain unstable
enough for afternoon and evening thunderstorms over the Susitna
and Copper River basins both today and Saturday. Winds will
increase over much of the area on Saturday as surface high
pressure builds along the Gulf coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Another round of showers and thunderstorms are on tap for the
mainland today, similar to yesterday. Expect showers to continue
through the morning for the Kuskokwim Valley, while a new round
of thunderstorms will begin to fire over the Ahklun Mountains in
the late morning. More showers and possible thunder will pop up in
the Greater Bristol Bay area as well as the Kuskokwim Mountains
and Kilbuck Mountains. All the shower activity will wane overnight
then pulse again during the afternoon on Saturday pretty much for
the whole mainland.

As for the technical details...the focus for convection today will
be the persistent low level thermal trough stretching from the
central interior through the Bristol Bay area. Instability will be
present across most of the Lower Kuskokwim Valley into Greater
Bristol Bay, however, the thermal trough will be the focus for
initiation. The trough will shift back to the north on Saturday as
the flow in the column feels the influence of an incoming trough
from the west.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
A frontal boundary will spread over the Western Aleutians today,
followed by the Central Aleutians overnight, and the Eastern
Aleutians by late Saturday. This front will be minimum gale force
today, but will quickly weaken below that level. The eastern
Bering Sea will stay in a drier northerly flow with stratus banked
up along the chain whereas the northern Bering Sea is clearer with
patchy areas of stratus. There is a larger bank of low stratus and
fog in the weak flow over the western Bering ahead of the
approaching front.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

Beginning the extended period on Sunday, there will be an active
stream of Pacific jet energy surging east toward the Panhandle of
Alaska with continued upper level troughing over northern Alaska.
The mainland pattern will begin to change as the arctic trough
over northern Alaska digs south into southwest Alaska. This will
result in increasing chances for rain across interior southwest
Alaska and across parts of the Susitna Valley. Showers and
isolated thunderstorms will remain a threat across the remainder
of Southcentral as that region remains under the influence of
weaker upper level features. This general pattern will play itself
out into midweek, with stout ridging over Eastern Siberia keeping
a drier north to east flow over a majority of the Bering Sea while
rain and showers remain over inland southern Alaska.

Midweek and beyond, the numerical global model guidance are all
strongly in agreement with the development of another large North
Pacific low developing over the Western Aleutians then moving east
into the eastern Bering. This will spread more clouds and moisture
into southern Alaska, with rain along the coast and inland
showers. This will keep temperatures seasonable with no major heat
waves or dry periods expected through next weekend.

...RISING WATER LEVELS ON AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS AS SNOW MELT
CONTINUES...

ALTHOUGH WATER IS FAIRLY HIGH AND WILL RISE A BIT MORE ON SOME
AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS THIS WEEKEND, NO FLOODING IS EXPECTED.
SIGNIFICANT RUNOFF FROM THE MELTING OF THE MOUNTAIN SNOWPACK
CONTINUES TO BE EARLIER THAN USUAL DUE TO VERY WARM SPRING
TEMPERATURES. AVAILABLE DATA SUGGESTS ABOUT HALF OF THE HEAVY
WINTER SNOWPACK IN THE KENAI MOUNTAINS HAS MELTED SINCE APRIL 1.
AN EVEN HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL SNOWPACK LOSS HAS OCCURRED ON
THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS.

A GENERAL TREND TOWARD CLOUDIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS THIS WEEKEND
WILL RESULT IN A DOWNWARD TREND ON MANY RIVERS AND STREAMS BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE LATEST RIVER FORECASTS ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE AT
WWW.WEATHER.GOV/APRFC. THIS STATEMENT WILL NOT BE UPDATED.
