SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
540 AM AKST MON JAN 18 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A SPRAWLING LONGWAVE TROUGH DOMINATES THE NORTH PACIFIC THIS
MORNING...WITH VARIOUS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN MOIST
EASTERLY FLOW ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS LARGE SCALE
FEATURE SPREADING CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHERN
MAINLAND ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA. THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO BE
ANCHORED BY A BROAD LOW CENTER WHICH HAS REMAINED QUASI STATIONARY
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS AS IT
SLOWLY WEAKENS. ANOTHER EMBEDDED LOW ROTATING THROUGH THE EASTERN
GULF IS BRINGING RAIN AND STRONG WINDS TO THE GULF WATERS AND IS
POISED TO SPREAD ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHCENTRAL AK LATER TODAY. A THIRD EMBEDDED LOW IS MOVING
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL BERING...BRINGING SNOW SHOWERS TO
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS. A WEAKER DISTURBANCE IS
BRINGING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS TO PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY...WITH A
FRONT EXTENDING NORTHWARD FROM THE LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPEN
BRINGING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE PRIBILOFS AND EASTERN
ALEUTIANS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MUCH LIKE THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...SHORT TERM MODEL AGREEMENT IS
STRONG WITH RESPECT TO THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN WITH MOSTLY MINOR
DIFFERENCES ARISING IN THE HANDLING OF SMALLER SCALE FEATURES
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE NORTH PACIFIC LONGWAVE TROUGH. THE MOST
IMPACTFUL OF THESE FEATURES WILL BE THE LOW ROTATING THROUGH THE
GULF TODAY AND THEN ANOTHER WAVE FOLLOWING CLOSELY ON ITS HEELS
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. MAINLY UTILIZED THE NAM FOR THE
MORNING PACKAGE AS IT REPRESENTS A MIDDLE GROUND SOLUTION BETWEEN
THE GFS AND THE EC FOR THE TIMING OF THESE FEATURES.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE PATTERN REMAINS VERY CONSISTENT WITH LOW AFTER LOW COMING UP
THE VERY EASTERN SIDE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AND THEN RECURVING
BACK TOWARD SOUTH CENTRAL. THIS IS MAKING FOR A TRACK RIGHT ALONG
THE SOUTHEAST COASTLINE...THEN SKIRTING PAST CORDOVA AND VALDEZ
BEFORE PUSHING MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION INTO WESTERN PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND. THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE WITH THIS MORNING'S LOW
(OVER THE WEEKEND SYSTEMS) IS THAT IT APPEARS A BIT STRONGER.
OVERNIGHT THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY STRONGER WITH IT SO WE
HAVE INCREASED SOME OF THE WINDS...ESPECIALLY IN THE FAVORED
BARRIER-JET REGION NEAR HINCHINBROOK ENTRANCE...AND SOME OF THE
PRECIPITATION FORECASTS. THIS SYSTEM WILL BE INTERESTING BECAUSE
OF ITS SLOW AND STEADY APPROACH...WHICH HAS ALLOWED BROAD OFFSHORE
FLOW TO DOMINATE. THIS HAS ALLOWED OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES TO FALL
QUITE A BIT FARTHER THAN INITIALLY THOUGHT AND COULD HELP TO
PROVIDE A STRONGER THERMAL GRADIENT LATER TODAY. GUSTY WINDS
SHOULD ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP IN THE FAVORED AREAS...MATANUSKA
VALLEY...THOMPSON PASS...AND THE TURNAGAIN ARM. FOR THOSE HOPING
FOR MORE SNOW IN ANCHORAGE...SADLY IT LOOKS AS IF THE CROSS
BARRIER FLOW REALLY RAMPS UP AND PUTS US IN A DOWNSLOPE HOLE ONCE
AGAIN. A STRAY SHOWER WITH LITTLE IF ANY ACCUMULATION IS PROBABLY
OUR BEST HOPE.

BY TUE...THE FIRST SYSTEM IS ALREADY WRAPPING TOWARD KODIAK ISLAND
WHILE ANOTHER LOW IS FOLLOWING A VERY SIMILAR TRACK TOWARD SOUTH
CENTRAL. THIS SYSTEM LOOKS ALMOST LIKE A CARBON-COPY OF WHAT WE
SAW OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS MEANS GUSTY WINDS INLAND WITH MORE
PRECIPITATION FOR COASTAL AREAS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN AT OR
BELOW FREEZING FOR INLAND LOCATIONS TO START THE WEEK.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE GULF OF ALASKA HAS A GALE FORCE LOW ENTERING THE NORTHERN
GULF THIS MORNING. THIS SYSTEM COMBINED WITH THE EASTERLY FLOW
WILL ADVECT MOISTURE ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN AND ALASKA RANGE INTO THE
SOUTHWEST REGION HEADING INTO TUESDAY. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON A WEAK
NORTH PACIFIC LOW WILL TRACK NEAR THE SOUTHERN END OF KODIAK
ISLAND AND WILL BRING A SWATH OF MOISTURE INTO ALASKA PENINSULA.
THIS WILL BRING A WINTRY MIX TO THE BRISTOL BAY INTERIOR. WHILE
THE REST OF THE SOUTHWEST REGION WILL HAVE DRIER CONDITIONS WITH
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES THROUGH TUESDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE MAJORITY OF THE BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS WILL BE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF NORTHEASTERLY WINDS. THIS WILL PRODUCE A SHOWERY
WEATHER REGIME THROUGH THE REGION. THE NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL
BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO THE NORTHERN BERING SEA AND
TRANSITION INTO THE CENTRAL/WESTERN BERING SEA. THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS WILL BE AFFECTED BY A NORTH PACIFIC LOW TRACKING NEAR
KODIAK ISLAND AS HEAD INTO TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING WARMER
TEMPERATURES TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND SPILL OVER INTO THE
EASTERN BERING SEA. THIS WILL BRING A WINTRY MIX AS FAR AS THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ALL SNOW BY MONDAY NIGHT
WITH THE NORTHEASTERLY WINDS MOVING INTO AREA WITH COOLER
TEMPERATURES.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

BY TUESDAY EVENING...A FAST-MOVING AND WELL-DEVELOPED WEST-MOVING
FRONT MOVES WEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COASTLINE AND THEN
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA. SUSTAINED PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE
ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY LIMITED TO THE EASTERN SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAIN
RANGES...WITH LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ACCUMULATING PRECIPITATION ON
THE LEEWARD SIDES THAT INCLUDE THE LARGE POPULATION CENTERS.
AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...PRESSURE RISES IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE
PASSING TROUGH WILL ALLOW FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS
THROUGH WEST-EAST TERRAIN GAPS...BUT THESE SHOULD NOT BE TERRIBLY
IMPACTFUL.

BEYOND THIS FEATURE...SYNOPTICALLY...A LARGE LOW PRESSURE CENTER
OF ACTION WILL CONTINUE TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY OVER THE SOUTHERN
BERING AND NORTH PACIFIC...WITH MANY EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES
ROTATING WITHIN ITS SPHERE OF INFLUENCE RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH OF
THE CLOUDINESS AND SNOW/RAIN CHANCES TO THE REGION. BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY A SLIGHT PATTERN CHANGE WILL OCCUR AS A GALE-
FORCE LOW MOVES TO THE SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND A LOW
FROM THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC MOVES NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN
GULF...WITH A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REPLACING AFOREMENTIONED
EXPANSIVE LOW PRESSURE CENTER OF ACTION. THIS SLIGHT PATTERN
CHANGE WILL BE SHORT-LIVED...HOWEVER...AS A RETURN TO THE
EXPANSIVE CENTER OF ACTION OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING AND NORTH
PACIFIC RETURNS BY LATE NEXT WEEKEND.

THE MAIN IMPACTS WITH THIS PATTERN WILL BE LITTLE CHANGE IN
TEMPERATURES...WITH NEAR NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OVER
MUCH OF THE REGION...AND PRECIPITATION CHANCES REMAINING NEAR
NORMAL TO ABOVE NORMAL. STRONGER WINDS TO GALE-FORCE WILL BE
CONFINED TO STRONGER EMBEDDED LOWS WITHIN THE BROAD CYCLONIC
PATTERN.
