SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
452 PM AKST FRI JAN 1 2016

CORRECTION TO THE ANALYSIS MODEL DISCUSSION

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AS A BLOCKING RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC
AND EASTERN ALASKA...THE WEATHER PATTERN OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND
SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA REMAINS ACTIVE. A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW SITS
JUST SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA...EMBEDDED IN THE BASE OF A
NEGATIVELY TILTED LONGWAVE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM EASTERN RUSSIA
THROUGH THE NORTH PACIFIC. A CLASSIC OCCLUDED CYCLONE PATTERN IS
VISIBLE ON THE SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING WITH THE WARM
CONVEYOR BELT AND SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE STREAMING NORTHWARD OVER
THE GULF OF ALASKA AND WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW THROUGH
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA AND DOWN INTO THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS. WEAK UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCES IN THE ONSHORE FLOW OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA HAS KEPT SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN GULF COAST THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERTICALLY STACKED LOW EXTENDS FROM THE LOW
CENTER TO OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA...SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND...AND
THEN EXTENDS SOUTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. GUSTY SURFACE
WINDS OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE STATE ARE RAMPING UP IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT AS THE LOW PUSHES NORTHWARD...WITH WINDS IN
KAMISHAK GAP AND AROUND KODIAK ISLAND ALREADY GUSTING TO STORM
FORCE. UPPER-LEVEL DIFFLUENCE IN THE NORTHWESTERN QUADRANT OF THE
CYCLONE IS SUPPORTING SHOWERS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND
EASTERN BERING AS WELL AS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND. THE SHOWERS ARE
HEAVIEST IN REGIONS OF ENHANCED UPLIFT IN UPSLOPE FLOW OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM MOUNTAINS.

THE DRY SLOT CAN BE SEEN ON SATELLITE IMAGERY WRAPPING AROUND THE
CYCLONE BEHIND THE FRONT JUST SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND AND OVER THE
SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA. GUSTY NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND THE
CYCLONE IS PULLING COLDER AIR ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE CYCLONE DOWN
THROUGH THE BERING SEA AND CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODEL AGREEMENT IS FAIRLY GOOD IN THE SHORT TERM. AS THE LOW
MOVES INTO BRISTOL BAY THE FRONT WILL PUSH NORTHWARD THROUGH THE
GULF...REACHING THE NORTHERN GULF COAST BY SATURDAY MORNING. THE
MODELS ARE IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW AND THE
TIMING OF THE PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT...HOWEVER
SLIGHT DIFFERENCES ARISE IN PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE FRONT PUSHES ONSHORE.
THE QPF DIFFERENCES ARE IN PART DUE TO A SLIGHT DIFFERING IN THE
DEGREE OF DOWNSLOPING THAT WILL OCCUR OVER ANCHORAGE AND THE
WESTERN KENAI IN THE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW REGIME. THE EC IN
PARTICULAR MINIMIZES THE DOWNSLOPING AND BRINGS THE MOST QPF TO
ANCHORAGE AND THE WESTERN KENAI WHILE THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS
KEEP THE QPF IN THE LEE OF THE MOUNTAINS MUCH LIGHTER. THE NAM
SEEMS TO CAPTURES THE BETTER DYNAMICS AND WAS THE MODEL OF CHOICE
FOR THE SHORT TERM OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TRACK OF THE LOW SATURDAY AS THE CYCLONE
PROGRESSES NORTHWESTWARD TO THE BERING SEA BY SATURDAY NIGHT. HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS WERE FAVORED FOR THE SHORT TERM FORECAST AND
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE SHORT TERM IS HIGH.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

THE WEATHER FRONT HAS JUST CLEARED KODIAK ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON
AND WILL BE MARCHING NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT...REACHING THE NORTH GULF
COAST IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE ASSOCIATED LOW CENTER HAS
REACHED PEAK INTENSITY AND IS NOW WEAKENING AND MOVING NORTHWEST
INTO THE BERING SEA. STRONG WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED AS EXPECTED ALL
ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...WITH A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS COOK INLET CURRENTLY BENDING THE ACCELERATED TURNAGAIN ARM
WIND SOUTHWARD AND AWAY FROM ANCHORAGE. THIS STORM IS TURNING OUT
TO BE A BIT MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED...AND AS A
RESULT EXPECT WINDS AROUND CORDOVA AND EASTERN TURNAGAIN ARM TO BE
A BIT STRONGER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST...BUT SHOULD STILL GENERALLY
STAY JUST BELOW WARNING LEVELS. A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN
EFFECT FOR THOMPSON PASS AND IS DEVELOPING AS EXPECTED. IN
FACT...MODELS HAVE INCREASED PRECIPITATION/SNOWFALL AMOUNTS EVEN
MORE AS A VERY ROBUST 150+ KT SOUTHERLY JET PROPELS DEEP
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO MAINLAND ALASKA.

ONCE THE FRONT PASSES THE AREA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING THE COOK
INLET PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME MUCH MORE FAVORABLE TO GUSTY
WINDS TO PUSH BACK INTO ANCHORAGE AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...AT
WHICH POINT TEMPERATURES SHOULD JUMP UP INTO THE UPPER 30S AGAIN.
SIGNIFICANT INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT IN THE AIRMASS MOVING INTO
SOUTHERN ALASKA SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...AND WOULD NOT BE AT
ALL SURPRISED TO SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE GULF OF
ALASKA AND COASTAL AREAS ACCOMPANYING VERY HEAVY PRECIPITATION. IN
AREAS THAT STAY COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW...ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT
ACCUMULATING SNOW IS LIKELY...MAINLY THROUGH THOMPSON PASS AND
PERHAPS TURNAGAIN PASS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

A VERY IMPRESSIVE STORM FORCE LOW IS IMPACTING THE REGION THIS
EVENING...SPREADING RAIN ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION...WITH SNOW
FARTHER NORTH TOWARD THE DELTA. STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS WILL MAINLY
IMPACT THE BRISTOL BAY AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA...WITH SOME MINOR AREAS
OF BLOWING SNOW ALONG THE COAST OF THE DELTA. THIS LOW WILL LIFT
NORTH THROUGH SATURDAY...INITIALLY BRINGING IN WARMER SOUTHEAST
WINDS BEFORE THE FLOW TURNS AROUND AND BECOMES ONSHORE AND
SOUTHWESTERLY ON SATURDAY NIGHT. RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW WILL BE
RATHER WIDESPREAD AS THE FLOW BECOMES ONSHORE SATURDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER PACIFIC FRONT WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...

THE MAIN STORY IN THE BERING SEA WILL BE A NORTH PACIFIC LOW
CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA TRACKING NORTHWARD ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN BERING SEA. THIS WILL SPREAD GALE FORCE
WINDS AND RAIN...MIXED WITH SOME SNOW ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS.
ACROSS THE WESTERN BERING SEA...WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP SNOW
SHOWERS OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE EXPECTED PATTERN
OR METEOROLOGICAL REASONING IN THE MID TO LONG TERM FORECAST.
THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST...THE POLAR JET IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION ALONG 35-40N. AT THE START OF DAY
3...THE 970 MB LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL BEGIN TO ELONGATE
AND MOVE NORTHWESTWARD ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA COAST WHILE
THE RIDGE SPANNING FROM THE BEAUFORT SEA SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG THE
WESTERN NORTH AMERICAN COAST HOLDS STEADY IN PLACE. THIS PATTERN
WILL BRING A LONG FETCH OF SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER MOST OF SOUTHERN
ALASKA...KEEPING THE REGION IN A RELATIVELY WARM AND MOIST PATTERN
THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...GLOBAL MODELS ARE COMING INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER
AGREEMENT WITH DEVELOPING A LOW SOUTH OF SHEMYA. AS EXPECTED WITH
THIS PATTERN AND AT THE EXTENDED TIME FRAME...DIFFERENCES REMAIN
BETWEEN MODELS WITH THE STRENGTH AND LOCATION WITH THIS LOW. THE
GFS BRINGING A LOW CLOSER TO THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WHILE THE ECMWF
BRINGS ONE LOW WESTWARD ALONG THE POLAR JET AT ABOUT 45N WHILE
BRINGING A SECOND WEAKER LOW OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA....WHICH
THE GFS NEGLECTS.

WITH THIS IN MIND...THE EXTENDED FORECAST ONCE AGAIN RELIED HEAVY
ON WPC GUIDANCE WITH A MIX OF THE ECMWF ON DAY 4 TO ACCOUNT MORE
FOR THE IMPACTS OF THE ELONGATED LOW ALONG THE WESTERN COAST. ON
DAY 3...A BLEND OF THE NAM AND ECMWF ALONG WITH THE EXISTING
FORECAST WAS USED AS MODELS WERE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT AT THIS
TIME FRAME.
