.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
There is an upper level trough stretching north from Kodiak
Island to Barrow, and southeast from Kodiak across the Gulf of
Alaska. There is plenty of moisture east of the trough axis with
showers and a few thunderstorms, while it is mainly dry over
southwest Alaska. There is an upper level low south of the eastern
Aleutians that is slowly moving towards the east-southeast. There
is an upper level ridge of high pressure over the Bering Sea, with
a weak embedded upper low just southwest of Saint Matthew Island.
There is another ridge over northeast Alaska and the northern
Yukon Territory.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The numerical models are in good agreement for the general
synoptic situation. However, there are some differences in how
the models handle weak vort-maxes that push through southern
Alaska from the east. This will impact the forecast for
convection, including thunderstorms. The forecast confidence is
therefore near normal.

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

The upper level low moving into the Gulf will induce weak easterly
waves crossing the forecast area through Wed. These waves will
interact with the rebuilding thermal trough and induce some afternoon
and evening thunderstorms across the Copper River Basin and
Susitna Valley through Wed. The greatest coverage of these storms
will be near the Talkeetna mountains. On Wed some thunderstorms
may also develop near the Kenai mountains. Otherwise showers will
affect all of Southcentral AK over the next couple of days. By
Wed significant warming will bring 80 degree temperatures to the
Copper River Basin. Wind will not be a factor through the forecast
area.

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

A weak upper trough moving southward across the region will be
replaced by weak mainland upper ridging Tuesday and Wednesday.
This will allow for temperatures to climb well above average
(with the exception of the Kuskokwim Delta coast) with dry weather
dominating through Wednesday morning. Instability will increase by
the afternoon, with the threat for thunderstorms in the afternoon
and evening across the Alaska Range and the interior mountain
ranges.

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

The primary feature that is being watched this afternoon is a weak
vertically stacked low tracking parallel to the central and
eastern Aleutians. Its satellite presentation is much more
impressive than its actual surface effects would make it seem. No
precipitation as yet has been reported in Dutch Harbor. Wind gusts
to 35 mph have been reported in Atka for the past several hours,
however. This low will begin to track a bit south of due east,
which will take it away from the rest of the Aleutians and the
southern Alaska Peninsula over the next 24-48 hours.

Other than the low tracking over the Aleutians, patchy fog issues
remain the primary forecast challenge over the large majority of
the Bering in this relatively benign weather pattern. Patchy fog
will remain in the forecast for nearly all of the central and
western Bering, while currently an area of clear skies is over
the eastern Bering and Bristol Bay. The fog over much of the
Bering can be attributed to a strengthening upper level high, and
associated surface high. These systems are transporting warm air
northward aloft. This is creating a cap to any moisture attempting
to move up in the atmosphere, trapping it in the lowest levels.
The capping along with relatively light winds is allowing the
conditions supportive of fog formation and persistence to
continue.

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

The synoptic pattern observed much of the past week will continue
into the extended period as high pressure will dominate much of
the Alaska mainland and the Bering Sea and low pressure resides
just to the south of the Alaska Peninsula. Temperatures on
Thursday are expected to be some of the warmest of the year with
temperatures near or above 80 degrees across Southwest Alaska and
in the mid 70s to mid 80s across Southcentral Alaska. The
abnormally high temperatures will begin to "cool off" over the
weekend as an upper level trough from the Arctic quickly pushes
from northwest to southeast across Alaska. Models still have a bit
of disagreement on the timing of the trough but are confident this
feature moves across the state Saturday through Monday and helps
displace the ridge that has kept much of Alaska on the dry side
recently. Thunderstorms will be a concern Thursday and Friday as
temperatures quickly warm under partly cloudy skies and the
atmosphere destabilizes. The best chances for thunderstorms will
be over the mountainous terrain of the Alaska Range and the
Talkeetna Mountains but a stray thunderstorm for parts of
Anchorage cannot be ruled out.
