Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
455 AM AKDT MON AUG 15 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

Stacked low pressure continues to reside over the northwestern
Gulf of Alaska. Since the low is now fully occluded and there are
no longer any frontal boundaries associated with this feature,
there are more breaks in cloud cover and thus a lot greater
instability. The vast number of lightning strikes across southern
Alaska Sunday afternoon and evening bears that out. The
development of a low-level thermal trough extending from Southwest
Alaska into the interior of the state is helping to focus this
thunderstorm activity compared to surrounding areas.

Way out west, a strong upper high remains stationary well south of
Kamchatka in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, with increasing
northwesterly flow helping to push systems south and east through
the central and western Bering toward the North Pacific. The
advancing warm air mass behind the low moving over the Central
Aleutians has allowed for the semi-permanent marine stratus to
redevelop.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

The excellent agreement between all of the forecast models
continues this morning. This remains the result of the models all
handling the stagnant upper level pattern that has been in place
for 3 weeks now very well. Two forecast challenges stand out with
this weather pattern in place: how much coverage of thunderstorms
there will be Monday over southwest Alaska, and whether any shower
activity is able to make it over the mountains to affect the
western Kenai and Anchorage. The high resolution models remain the
preferred guidance used for their better handling of the smaller
disturbances moving across southern Alaska. Forecast confidence
continues to be above average with the excellent model agreement
and the persistent weather pattern.

&&

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

An upper level low centered southeast of Kodiak Island continues
to support showers across the north Gulf Coast this morning.
Although this low continues to weaken, there is enough cold air
aloft to support good lapse rates and widespread showers. Another
round of showers and thunderstorms is expected across the Susitna
Valley after diurnal heating. However, convection will be less
widespread today and less intense due to the diminishing intensity
of the low. A low level jet will continue to support persistent
showers along the north Gulf Coast throughout the day, with the
greatest precipitation totals occurring along the western side of
Prince William Sound. On Tuesday, showers will be less widespread
and less intense across the region as the low in the Gulf pushes
onshore and dissipates. However, a well developed front follows
quickly on its heels, bringing another round of steady rain along
the Southcentral Coast by Wednesday.

&&

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

The upper low over the northern Gulf will continue to slowly
decay...and will continue to produce shower activity through Tue.
On Mon and Tue the thermal trough will remain draped near the
Kuskokwim Valley and Mountains. Impulses moving along the
northern flank of the upper low will interact with the thermal
trough, and trigger isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms
in that region today and Tue. On Wed the next low aimed at the
Akpen will bring more showers to southwest Ak, but interaction
with the thermal trough will diminish.

&&

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

Rain and showers will affect the central Bering on Tue as an
upper level short wave moves south. At the same time, a north
Pacific low will slowly approach the AKpen and spread significant
rainfall over that area through Wed. This low will also bring
gale-force winds to marine areas south of the Akpen. Finally, a
front entering the western Bering will bring rain to the western
Aleutians Tue and Wed. Areas of fog are expected over much of the
Bering through the period.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
High pressure will dominate the western Bering from mid week
through the weekend. A weaker ridge will also push in over the
eastern Gulf Tuesday night and last through the end of the week
when it pushes off to the east. In between these two features a
low near the Alaska Peninsula will swing its front over the
southern mainland Wednesday bringing a more widespread rain to the
area than the previously seen showers. Troughing will then remain
over the west coast bringing more instability and showers to the
area through the weekend. There is decent agreement with this
pattern amongst the models through the end of the week, with some
variation and lower confidence moving into the weekend.
