Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
408 AM AKDT SUN JUL 31 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

The low making land fall in Southwest Alaska early this morning is
now centered over coastal portions of the Kuskokwim delta with the
associated frontal system spreading precipitation inland to the
Alaska Range. Further to the west, a ridge of high pressure is
pushing from the northwest into the central Bering further
reinforcing the low stratus and fog blanketing much of the Bering
and Aleutians. Along the Aleutians...a shallow surface low to the
west is pushing a frontal system into the western Aleutians. This
frontal system is weak enough however, that all it is really
doing is adding some light rain to the fog and stratus already in
place. Over the central and eastern Aleutians a trough trailing
the Southwest Alaska frontal system is swinging through the area.

To the east...a weak east to west tracking surface low is skirting
the southern Gulf while surface ridging persists along the
northern Gulf Coast. A flat ridge aloft over southcentral Alaska
is keeping much of the precipitation north and west of the area
but is in the process of shifting east into the Yukon territory.
Breezy onshore gap winds continue through Turnagain Arm, the Knik
River Valley and into the Copper River Valley as well as the
southerly small craft winds up Cook Inlet.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models remain in good agreement with each other with run to run
temporal variations now converging much better with regards to the
timing and track of the closed low swinging east Monday and
Tuesday. NAM was preferred for its better detail for both domains.

&&

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

Broad southwesterly flow aloft across Southcentral will weaken
through today as the upper jet moves north into the interior. The
flow will then shift to a more south to southeast direction on
Monday as the upper low over the eastern Bering Sea moves south
toward Kodiak Island. This general pattern will continue cloud
cover with chances of rain across much of Southcentral today with
the best chances of measurable rainfall with upslope conditions
over the Susitna Valley. A weak front approaching on Monday from
the south and west will bring increasing chances of rain across
the area with the coasts receiving the lions share. Locally gusty
gap flows will continue across Turnagain Arm and the Copper River
Basin today and should strengthen on Monday/Monday night as the
ridge builds in advance of the approaching front. Also expect
gusty Knik winds Monday afternoon/evening.

&&

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

The upper level closed low is located in the Kuskokwim Bay with
onshore flow through out the Southwest Alaska region this morning,
while at 300 mb there is a 80 knot southwesterly jet positioned
over the Eastern Aleutians streaming into the Bristol Bay region.
This synoptic feature is aiding in streaming abundant moisture
into the AOR. The upper level low will gradually track along the
Alaska Peninsula by Monday afternoon. Therefore, look for continued
widespread wetting rains for the region through Tuesday. Meanwhile,
the Kuskokwim Delta region from Kipnuk northward into Hooper Bay
will have offshore winds due to being on the backside of the
surface low positioned near Cape Newenham by this afternoon. Look
for northerly small craft advisory winds along the aforementioned
coastline region through today before diminishing going into
Monday. The other issue will be with the onshore flow through the
Bristol Bay region with the potential for fog developing late
Sunday night along the coastline, and spreading inland going into
early Monday morning. Meanwhile, as the upper level low moves into
Bristol Bay region it will bring colder air aloft, and with
Lifted Indices of -1C will create unstable conditions for possible
isolated thunderstorms along the Alaska Peninsula Monday
afternoon/evening.

&&

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

The weather front associated with the surface low positioned in
the Kuskokwim Bay will track across the eastern Bering this
morning. The satellite imagery is showing this front stretching
from the Kuskokwim Bay southwestward just south of Saint George
with a large swath of moisture streaming eastward. This will bring
abundant rainfall as this frontal boundary moves eastward before
crossing the Eastern Aleutians into the North Pacific ocean by
late this evening. Meanwhile, high pressure over the
western/central Bering will continue to have widespread marine
layer stratus/fog the next several days. Look for the Western
Aleutians to have thicker fog with visibilities reduced to one
mile or less at times before improving during the daytime hours

&&

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

Cut-off low pressure centered over the Bristol Bay/Kodiak region
and then moving east across the Gulf of Alaska will dictate
sensible weather in the mid-term (Monday night through Tuesday
night), with mainly showers, but also some periods of continuous
rain in areas with strong low-level convergence and/or
onshore/upslope flow. The flat ridging replacing the low at this
point appears to be increasingly transitory...yet will broaden as
the week progresses over southern Alaska as low pressure closes
off over the western and central Bering Sea and the former upper
low moves farther south and east away from the region. Meanwhile,
a persistent trough will continue to keep areas north of the
Alaska Range in an unsettled zonal weather pattern.
