Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
430 AM AKDT WED JUL 13 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

An upper level ridge remains positioned over the Brooks Range,
and extends into the eastern Copper River Basin region this
morning. While upstream there is a closed low at 500 mb south of
the Eastern Aleutians with an associated trough extending
northward across the chain into the eastern/northern Bering Sea.
This synoptic feature is sending a swath of moisture into the
Kodiak Island westward along on the Pacific side of the Eastern
Aleutians. Meanwhile, the Southwest Alaska region continues with
offshore flow resulting in mostly sunny skies for today. The
thermal trough remains through the Copper River basin westward
through the Talkeetnas before extending into the Southwest Alaska
region. This feature combined with diurnal heating, and cape
values ranging from 500 to 800 J/kg will produce a highly unstable
environment for the aforementioned regions for thunderstorms
today. The Western/Central Aleutians through the central/northern
Bering is dominated by a high pressure ridge extending from a 1020
mb high located just south of Shemya. This is producing light
winds accompanied by stratus/fog.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

The models remain in a good synoptic agreement, and the higher
resolution models were used through the short-term period. The
models continue to show the most unstable conditions across the
Copper Basin, Talkeetnas, and the Alaska Range. Look for the same
scenario as yesterday with afternoon diurnal heating combined with
the thermal trough to kick-off isolated thunderstorms forming
along the mountains. The models are showing a south/southeasterly
storm motion, and these afternoon/evening thunderstorms will move
to the northwest/north direction today. The models continue with
the same unstable condition areas, and the Kuskokwim Delta region
heading into Wednesday afternoon/evening time-frame. Look for the
Southwest/Southcentral regions to continue with warmer
temperatures through the midweek.

&&

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

An upper level high builds across Southcentral Alaska and
continues the subsidence warming. Warm temperatures will continue
across the region through Thursday with inland temps in the 70s
to 80s, somewhat cooler though along the coasts with locally brisk
seabreezes. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected again
today with the focus along the the Alaska Range, Talkeetna
Mountains, and to a lesser extent the Kenai and Chugach
Mountains. The steering flow for thunderstorms today is fairly
light...so those that do develop along the mountains will not
likely travel very far. On Thursday, thunderstorm potential may
diminish some as a capping inversion may set up. That said there
is still potential for afternoon and evening thunderstorms in the
Copper River Basin, and Susitna Valley again with the focus along
the mountains. A weakening front over the Gulf will provide small
craft level winds and some rain to the western Gulf today and into
Thursday afternoon.

&&

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

Upper level ridging will build into Southwest Alaska from the
north Wednesday and Thursday, bringing in some rather hot
temperatures to the region. This will also help produce a
sharpening thermal trough situated from the western slopes of the
Ahklun and Kilbuck Ranges north and east through the Kuskokwim
Valley. With an easterly flow regime aloft and the sharpening
thermal trough along the western slopes of the Ahklun, this will
also support the threat for afternoon into late evening
thunderstorm development. This development is expected initially
along the Ahklun and Alaska Ranges, and then progressing quickly
west with additional development through the evening over much of
the Kuskokwim Valley and Delta regions. A low moving into the
southeast Bering Thursday will spark more potential thunderstorms
and afternoon showers along with increasing southeast gap winds.

&&

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

Widespread sea stratus and fog will continue over the Bering as
weak winds dominate most of the region. A North Pacific low will
move into the southeast Bering Thursday, spreading 25 to 30 knot
southeast winds across the Alaska Peninsula. Rain and showers will
also accompany this system over that region. There is also a
chance that mainland thunderstorms form and track west into parts
of the eastern Bering, and west of the coast north of Cape
Newenham with both today and Thursday's convection over the
mainland. A slight chance of thunderstorms has been included in
the forecast as far west as the Pribilof Islands.

&&

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

The current pattern characterized by very warm temperatures, and
diurnally driven convective activity looks to remain in place into
this weekend. This pattern will possibly extend beyond as high
pressure over the southern mainland gradually weakens, and the
low in the southwest Gulf of Alaska retrogrades towards the
Central Aleutians by the end of the work week. Forecast
confidence begins to decrease by Sunday as a deep upper trough
moves over the north slope. There is significant model
disagreement on how far south the trough digs over the mainland,
and thus how much cooling takes place aloft. The current forecast
reflects the 12z guidance, which keeps the trough to the north but
has also begun to hint at the development of a narrow ridge over
the eastern Bering/Southwest mainland, with some component of
offshore flow developing over Southcentral Alaska. This would
bring a slight cooling trend, albeit with temperatures likely
remaining above seasonal normal values. Diurnal convection would
also remaining possible with the trough residing just north of the
area through early next week.
