Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
500 AM AKDT WED JUN 22 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

Upper level lows are over the southern Bering, near Haida Gwaii,
and over the extreme northern Alcan this morning. These surround
a large ridge centered over western AK and the Akpen. At the
surface, high pressure covers most of the mainland, with lows
over the southern Bering and Haida Gwaii, and a trough of low
pressure along the north Gulf coast. Associated fronts are moving
into southwest Ak and across the eastern Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models are in general agreement for the next several days. In an
attempt to capture detail the forecasts utilized some EC in the
west and Nam in the east. The low over the Bering will slowly move
east, with its associated front already along the west coast.
Northwest flow will develop across the Bering into the weekend.
The motion of the Bering complex will bring abundant moisture to
the mainland and aid in establishing a thermal trough draped along
the Ak and Aleutian ranges by Fri. This will allow afternoon and
evening convective development Thu and Fri along the Ak and
Aleutian ranges as well as the Talkeetnas. On Fri a low develops
near Kodiak Island. This will help to induce generally southeast
flow that will cause any convection over the Talkeetnas to move
northwest to the Ak range...with drier conditions over the rest of
south central.

&&

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

An upper level ridge currently centered over western mainland
Alaska will continue to press eastward across Southcentral today.
As a result...copious amounts of sunshine are expected across the
region and pressure gradients are expected to relax and limit
offshore flow. As a result, afternoon sea breezes are expected
along the coast, and temperatures will be slightly cooler today in
coastal areas. An upper level wave will approach the Southcentral
region from the southwest starting Thursday, and increase the
chance for a few showers along the mountains and more widespread
cloud cover by Thursday afternoon.

&&

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

A shortwave ridge over southwest Alaska today will promote another
warm and largely dry day. The lone exception will be the Kuskokwim
coast where a weakening front will stall and spread light rain.
Otherwise, some high clouds will filter inland ahead of the main
Bering trough which will move inland Wednesday night and Thursday,
spreading rain and showers eastward. This trough will then remain
in place through Friday, with continued cloudy conditions and
showers, with isolated thunderstorm threats along the Alaska Range
during the afternoon and evening Thursday.

&&

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

The low center, currently in the middle of the Bering Sea west of
the Pribilof Islands, will slowly move east through Thursday
before stalling over the Bristol Bay coast. Northwest flow on the
backside of the trough will keep showery conditions over the
central and eastern Bering through Friday night with extensive low
sea stratus and fog over the remainder of the Bering.

&&

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

The long range pattern will continue the progressive movement of
the upper level systems traversing Alaska into the weekend,
followed by a slowing of the pattern to start off the upcoming
work week. A high amplitude ridge will build over much of the
Bering Saturday. By the weekend, the upper low over the Gulf will
stall out there as it runs into the semi-permanent upper level
ridge over the Canadian Rockies, which in turn will end the
eastward movement of the Bering ridge.

Ample daytime heating over interior Alaska along with the
movement of the next upper level trough over eastern Russia will
help push the northern portion of the Bering ridge over mainland
Alaska next week. The southern portion of the ridge will remain
stuck west of the stalled out upper low over the Gulf, effectively
making the ridge positively tilted. Beyond that, the movement of
the cut-off upper low in the Gulf will be dependent upon phasing
(or lack thereof) with a disturbance in the polar jet. The
evolution of which is in strong disagreement between the long-term
forecast models.

For Southcentral, this pattern evolution will favor one with
convection and precipitation potential on most days, especially
on Saturday as the low passes by. This potential will also
persist through early next week for coastal locations along the
Gulf and Kodiak Island. The driest weather throughout the Saturday
through Tuesday time frame will be towards the Alaska Range.

Southwest Alaska dries out and warms up as the upper ridge builds
in through Tuesday. Over the Bering, the persistent upper ridge
will promote an environment favorable to the development of
widespread fog and low stratus this weekend. The next organized
weather system will enter the western Bering late Sunday bringing
unsettled weather. It will move through the central Bering by
Tuesday.
