Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
421 PM AKDT THU JUL 14 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The overall synoptic pattern remains consistent with the heat
continuing to be the major story over much of mainland Alaska.
The main synoptic features in place are an upper level ridge over
the Interior and a weakening Pacific low south of the Alaska
Peninsula. The airmass over the mainland remains unstable with
very warm and moist surface conditions being observed throughout
Southwest and Southcentral Alaska. Satellite imagery is showing
convective showers and thunderstorms popping up over the mountains
(as has been the case the past few days). The strongest instability
and the majority of the thunderstorm activity today is in interior
Southcentral, including the Copper River Basin and the Talkeetna
Mountains. A weak front associated with the Pacific low is
bringing showers and cloudier conditions to Kodiak Island, the
Alaska Peninsula, and the eastern Aleutians. Further west...North
Pacific high pressure extends through the western Aleutians and
western Bering Sea through the Norton Sound. This is allowing for
marine layer stratus and fog over the area to persist.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models remain in good synoptic agreement through the short
term. The only impactful differences are in the handling of the
convection, with the NAM being more aggressive than the GFS. Some
minor synoptic discrepancies arise over the weekend as a North
Pacific low tracks northward to the Eastern Aleutians. The
forecast implications of this were minor however and a GFS/ECMWF
middle ground track was used for the forecast for this feature.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The pattern will remain the same through Friday night with a
ridge centered over the Copper River Basin and low pressure to
the west. Kodiak will continue to see some rain this evening,
as a weak front associated with the low to the west moves through
the island, then conditions will begin to dry out. For the rest
of Southcentral Alaska, daytime temperatures will remain above
normal, with the warmest temperatures remaining further inland,
and away from the sea breezes. Evening showers and thunderstorms
will continue into this evening over the Copper River Basin.
Afternoon/Evening showers and thunderstorms will remain in the
forecast for the Copper River Basin through Saturday, as the air
mass over the area remains unstable. The pattern will show hints
of change overnight Friday into Saturday, as a cold front
approaches from the northwest.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A low along the Eastern Aleutian chain will move into the southeast
Bering Sea then continue westward through Friday. The main impact
with this low will be to spread more stable and cooler air into
the region with thunderstorm threats relegated to the far northern
reaches of the Kuskokwim Delta and along the Alaska Range. Rain
showers this evening will mainly impact the coastal region of
Bristol Bay before moving west into the Bering with the low.
Saturday will gradually warm back up as upper ridging builds
back into the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Widespread sea stratus and fog will continue across most of the
Bering Sea mainly from the Pribilof Islands westward as weak high
pressure remains. A weakening low over the Eastern Aleutians will
drift west along the chain through Saturday, although most of the
rain will remain over the Eastern Aleutians before the low falls
apart. Another low will move into the Central Aleutians Saturday
afternoon with more rain and 25 to 30 knot winds.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Forecast thinking remains largely unchanged into the middle of
next week as confidence grows regarding the evolution of the
synoptic pattern in the coming days. A building North Pacific
ridge will extend over the Southwest mainland by late Sunday as
offshore flow becomes established over Southcentral Alaska during
the early part of next week. This will yield a continuation of
the very warm temperatures seen in recent days, with potential
for some of the warmest temperatures observed so far this year
across portions of Southcentral Sunday into Monday as 850 mb
temperatures climb into the +12-15 C range and afternoon highs
approach or exceed 80F over many interior locations. The middle
of the week looks to bring a slight cooling trend as northwest
flow increases and several disturbances dive over the top of
the ridge, however temperatures will still likely remain above
seasonal normal values for much of the next week. Meanwhile, the
ridge will promote the typical low clouds and fog for much of the
Eastern Bering, with chances for precipitation increasing towards
the middle of next week as another North Pacific low lifts across
the Central Aleutians.
