Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
417 AM AKDT TUE AUG 9 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A closed upper low is slowly weakening over the Kuskokwim Delta
this morning, yielding what has become a familiar wet pattern for
mainland Alaska beneath broad cyclonic flow in the presence of a
rather diffuse longwave trough which now extends over much of the
region from a low centered over the north pole. Precipitation has
transitioned from steady rain to a more showery regime across
southcentral AK in the wake of a shortwave trough lifting
northward through the area. Precipitation has also become more
convective in nature across the southwest mainland as instability
is enhanced by the cold core upper low. Meanwhile, low stratus and
fog continue to dominate much of the Bering beneath weak high
pressure, although a swath of rain is beginning to spread over the
western Aleutians as an upper level wave pushes off of the
Kamchatka coast.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Guidance remains in strong synoptic agreement through mid week as
the Kuskokwim Delta low continues to weaken into an open trough
encompassing most of the region, with re-enforcement by the upper
wave currently entering the western Bering. This will keep the
cool and showery pattern in place in the coming days. Mainly
utilized the NAM for its enhanced resolution of small scale
features given the good synoptic agreement.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Moist southwesterly flow aloft will continue over the area into
Wednesday night as an upper level low remains over western Alaska.
A series of weak short-waves will rotate through south central
Alaska, with no major forcing mechanisms through Wednesday. This
will lead to a showery regime with less precipitation than has
been the case for the last few days. On Wednesday night the upper
low will become negatively tilted and a strong short-wave will
rotate around the base of that low and move towards south central.
The flow aloft will become southerly and showers will become more
numerous along the Gulf coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A vertically stacked low now pushing into the Lower Kuskokwim
Valley will continue to weaken and drift northeast through this
evening, keeping cooler and showery conditions over the region.
Instability will remain present over the area, but given weaker
forcing today, the threat of thunderstorms will remain very
isolated. However, we should still see some enhanced rain showers
developing in the afternoon/evening hours through Wednesday. The
system will weaken by Wednesday with decreasing showers.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
A low off the eastern coast of the Kamchatka peninsula and it's
associated warm front pushing into the Western Bering and
Aleutians this morning will quickly progress eastward through the
Central Aleutians/Bering by tonight. This system will then weaken
and move east to the Eastern Aleutians by Wednesday morning. The
main impact will be widespread rain and increasing south to
southwest 15 to 30 knot winds along parts of the Bering Sea and
the Aleutian chain as the low makes eastward progress before it
weakens. The remnants of Tropical Storm Omais will move into the
far Western Bering and Aleutians Wednesday afternoon, bringing
more rain and gale force winds to the area.

&&

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

For day 3 (Thu)

Models agree that the upper level trough over western Ak will
slowly weaken through Thu. This will allow shower activity to
diminish in intensity over the mainland as surface high pressure
builds. The next low entering the western Bering will move inland
near Bristol Bay early on Sat, with a triple point low developing
during the day near Kodiak island. This system will bring gale
force and small craft winds to much of the Bering and Aleutians.
Since the low has tropical origins and a long fetch it will also
bring significant seas to the western end of the chain, which will
steadily subside as the system moves east. It will also bring
abundant rainfall to the mainland. The low will then slowly weaken
in the Gulf through the weekend. High pressure will build across
the Bering into early next week as the low makes its way into the
Gulf.
