Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
425 PM AKDT TUE JUN 7 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
There is an upper level low with an associated weak surface low in
the Gulf of Alaska. There is another upper low south of the
western Aleutians with an occluded front stretching eastward from
Shemya into the southern Bering to near Dutch Harbor. A ridge of
high pressure is over the northern Bering and another is over the
Northern Pacific, south of the Alaska Peninsula. There is and
east-west oriented cold front over central Alaska, just north of
the Kuskokwim Valley.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The numerical models are in generally good agreement through the
short term portion of the forecast (Thursday afternoon). The
exception is the NAM, which is not in agreement with the other
models in handling a triple point low that moves northward into
the Bering Sea Wednesday night into Thursday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
After a day of widespread significant rainfall across the region
drier and warmer weather is on the way. Today will be a transition
day as the cold upper level low exits across Kodiak Island and
the Gulf of Alaska with clouds beginning to break-up across
Southcentral beginning the process of drying out. Temperatures
aloft are still quite cold, providing enough instability to
initiate diurnal convection mainly along the mountains. The tail
end of a short-wave trough crossing through the Interior will also
aid in showers development across the northern Susitna and Copper
River Basin. Meanwhile, added a slight chance of thunderstorms for
Kodiak Island with the coldest core of upper level air passing
overhead.

Much warmer and drier conditions will settle in Wednesday as an
upper ridge builds overhead and low level offshore flow
strengthens. The offshore flow will result in gusty winds along
coastal gaps resulting in very warm temperatures in coastal
locations including Seward, Whittier, Valdez, and Cordova.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

A period of beautiful summertime weather is setting up over the
mainland today as the previous system exits into the gulf. A few
high clouds will come down from the north as well as some mountain
driven cumulus along the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges. Any shower
activity will be extremely isolated. Wednesday looks much the
same with dry conditions holding strong while some light southerly
winds keep temperatures from climbing too high. Early Wednesday
morning some low clouds and patchy fog could affect the Bristol
Bay coast.

A weather front approaches the southwest coast late Wednesday
night and will bring rain that moves inland Thursday into Thursday
night.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

A front with steady rain will move into the southern Bering
tonight, but will remain nearly stationary in the vicinity of
Shemya in the Western Aleutians. Wednesday afternoon a
disturbance will ride the front, spreading steady rain over the
Eastern Aleutians followed by the Alaska Peninsula and Pribilofs
before heading toward the Southwest coast Thursday. Low stratus
and some fog can be expected along the periphery of the system as
it tracks across the Bering.

&&

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

Models are in agreement that the energy over the central
Aleutians, spread between the original low and the Bering triple
point, will reconsolidate at the triple point on Fri near the
Pribilofs. The associated front will spread inland during the
same period, while high pressure over the rest of the mainland
will slowly retreat to the east. Significant rain will accompany
the front as it moves inland through Fri over southwest AK and
the eastern half of the Aleutians as well as Kodiak island. By
later on Fri rain will reach the Kenai peninsula...with shower
activity over the Chugach and Talkeetna mountains. The forecast
utilized some Nam in the east and Gfs in the west.

The front moves northeast on Sat and another triple point low
develops over the Gulf by Sun, which then drifts in the Gulf into
early next week. Beginning Sat afternoon a ridge builds into the
western Bering which reaches the eastern Bering early Mon, and
the mainland through Tue. The next Bering low follows, reaching
the western Aleutians Mon and the eastern Bering late Tue. The
forecast utilized the EC and the ensemble solution from WPC.
