Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
458 PM AKDT TUE JUL 19 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Upper levels this morning show a transition beginning to take
place across the state. The upper level low that was entrenched
over the Arctic ocean is gradually moving to the east, with a new
low pushing into the Aleutians from the west. Although the ridge
that was holding fast over the eastern Bering/western mainland is
still present, it is weakening rapidly and slowly being squeezed
between the two lows as they juxtaposition around Alaska. At the
surface, the main feature is a strong low approaching the western
Aleutians that is correlated with the upper level feature. An
associated front is marching its way across the Aleutians today,
bringing low clouds and rain to the eastern Aleutians this
morning. Meanwhile, over the mainland, northwest flow continues to
bring dry air and record warm temperatures over the eastern
portions of the forecast area today, but the western areas are
already being influenced by the transition to more westerly flow,
as evident by the low clouds over the Kuskokwim Delta and the high
relative humidities in the west.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GFS/ECMWF/GEM have all remained in good agreement on the forecast
movement of the front in the Bering as it approaches the mainland.
The NAM has been doing it's own thing for the past couple days,
but finally seems to be catching on to the GFS/EC/GEM solution.
The timing of this system into Southcentral has slowed a little
bit since it was first mentioned a couple of days ago, but this is
to be expected with the strong ridge in place. Regardless the
forecast consistency with the GFS/EC/GEM has been good and
confidence for a pattern change for the forecast area is high.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Models have not been handling the movement of high clouds very
well over the past few days and this has impacted the forecast for
Southcentral in particular. Although conditions have improved
since yesterday, northwest drying flow has continued for much of
southcentral. The approach of this next front should change that,
however. By tomorrow, clouds and cooler temperatures should
prevail, but the precip won't move into Southcentral until the
upper level trough is expected to move in on Thursday.

&&

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

Showers are expected this evening over the Alaska range and
Talkeetna mountains as some clouds spread over the rest of the
forecast area. As the low moves into the gulf, the pressure
gradient will relax and winds along Turnagain Arm and through
inland valleys of the Kenai peninsula should continue
diminishing. On Wed clouds will continue to increase, allowing
for cooler temperatures. The leading edge of the Bering front
will arrive Wed night with a chance of rain...mainly after
midnight. By Thu rain will spread across all of Southcentral, and
southeast flow along Turnagain Arm will increase.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The front arriving along the coast late tonight will signal the
beginning of a transition to a cooler and wetter pattern for the
southwest mainland through the end of the work week as deep
southwesterly flow is established over the region. The front will
bring widespread rain to the area as it pushes inland on
Wednesday, with steadier rain continuing through Wednesday night
across the Lower Kuskokwim Valley and portions of the western
Alaska Range. Rain will become lighter and more sporadic on
Thursday in the wake of the front, but should still continue to
impact much of the region as an area of weak upper level
diffluence moves overhead and more favorable upper level jet
support becomes focused over the southern mainland.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The front will continue to spread rain over the northern and
eastern Bering through tonight as it approaches the southwest
coast. Broad cyclonic flow will continue to support a wet and
cloudy regime through Wednesday as the parent low moves northward
across the western Bering. Steadier rain looks to return to the
Central and Eastern Aleutians on Thursday as another disturbance
from the North Pacific quickly transits the southern Bering.

&&

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

Beginning Thursday evening, a Bering low will be in the process
of merging with a larger scale trough centered over the North
Slope. A leading impulse disturbance will already be spreading
some rain and clouds over most of southern Alaska. The Bering low
will then become mobile and track eastward toward the Northern
Gulf of Alaska Thursday night and Friday, spreading more
widespread rain over southern Alaska. This rain will last into
Saturday across Southcentral before the low departs east into the
Panhandle. Thereafter, while the details become murky, another
trough will develop over the Eastern Bering Sea, keeping rain and
cooler weather over the region well into next week. This will be a
rather large departure from the hot and summery weather of the
past two weeks.
