Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
425 PM AKDT THU AUG 18 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The controlling atmospheric feature for southern Alaska is an
elongating upper level low centered over the Alaska Peninsula. The
jet stream is oriented sw/ne to the east of the low, pointed
toward the panhandle. Embedded within this flow are at least three
identifiable disturbances on GOES water vapor channel early this
afternoon. The first is already pushing into Canada-land after
spreading rain into the Copper River Basin, the second is entering
the Gulf near Kodiak Island, and the last is at the base of the
upper low in the north Pacific.

Looking at the 00z/18 PAFC sounding, the low/mid levels are
weakly convectively unstable, would likely need a little help from
an embedded wave in the flow to kick anything off. Some breaks of
sun are appearing over Southcentral Alaska, which would aid in
developing instability this afternoon/evening as the Kodiak
shortwave trough moves northward.

Further out west, a front lies draped over the western Bering Sea
as upper level ridging build overhead. Stronger flow and
disturbances are actively suppressing the north side of the ridge
and look to be the next large scale player in our weather.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Synoptically speaking, models are in great agreement with the
evolution of the upcoming pattern. However, they all appear to be
missing the middle shortwave near Kodiak Island. This will have
ramifications on the forecast for this evening. Otherwise, the
general trend is to move the last shortwave shore toward the
Panhandle, then push the whole longwave out ahead of the incoming
jet out west.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Diffluent southwesterly flow aloft continues over the Gulf
between an upper level low centered south of the Alaska Peninsula
and an upper ridge over the eastern Pacific. Several weak troughs
rippling through the southwesterly flow will lift north across
Kodiak Island and the western Gulf to move onshore over the Kenai
Peninsula and into Southcentral Alaska tonight. While these are
rather subtle features, they should provide enough to extra lift
to bring widespread to numerous showers to the coastal areas and
to keep scattered showers going inland overnight.

An upper level low, following a similar path to the troughs will
track from the southwestern to northern Gulf on Friday bringing
additional showers with it. This feature and the low south of the
Alaska Peninsula will merge to form a broad upper level trough and
swing east Friday night and Saturday as a transient ridge builds
into Southcentral Alaska from the west. The ridge will bring a
brief, drier break on Saturday ahead of the next rather wet front
swinging in from the west behind it.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A surface low over the Alaska Peninsula moves slowly east tonight
and fills. At the same time, the upper low pinwheels energy across
the southwest mainland. Rain develops this evening along a
boundary associated with the surface feature across Bristol Bay
and then spreads a few showers north tonight into the Kuskokwim.
Rain across the Alaska Peninsula tapers off by mid day Friday as
the surface low weakens and moves east. The next front is fast
moving and approaches the Kuskokwim Delta Friday night. Gusty
winds and rain accompany the frontal passage with cooler and
wetter conditions persisting through Saturday as a trough
elongates over the eastern Bering.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Fog, rain and gusty winds are all challenges across the Bering
through saturday. A pattern shift is currently underway as an
upper low over the Alaska Peninsula begins to move east tonight. A
showery pattern brings light rain along northerly flow across the
central and eastern areas of the Bering while an upper ridge
nudges into the western Bering spreading areas of fog toward the
Central Aleutians. This ridge will be blocked from moving east
late Friday as the next series of shortwaves amplify a trough back
over the eastern Bering. The first shortwave ushers a front across
the northern Bering Friday night. Gusty winds and rain will
quickly skirt the northern waters Friday night with the front
sagging into the southern Bering on Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
An active weather pattern headlines the extended forecast over the
weekend and through Wednesday, as subtropical and polar lows send
a series of systems into the Bering and Gulf. The pattern across
the Bering briefly flattens out in the wake of a system tracking
through the gulf Friday, and is followed by an Arctic low dropping
through the Bering Strait on Sunday. The broad trough setting up
over the Bering and southwest Saturday through Monday will
suppress any ridging building into the areas. The only exception
being brief ridging over the Gulf Saturday into Sunday afternoon,
which will quickly be replace by the upper level trough tracking
eastward on Sunday night. Once this trough begins to stall over
the Southern Mainland Monday, ridging aloft will push in behind it
over the western Aleutians/Bering by monday night. Overall, this
set up will continue the wet pattern to southern Alaska and the
eastern Bering through next Wednesday with areas of fog for the
western Bering and Aleutians. The next system will enter the
Western Bering from the west mid next week, bringing more wet and
windy weather to the Bering and Aleutians through late next week.

Model agreement is generally good with the synoptic pattern
through Sunday morning, with increasing spread between the
solutions early next week through mid next week. Even though
agreement is relatively in a good range for this weekend, there is
still higher than average uncertainty as models typically struggle
when multiple low centers are embedded within a broad trough.
Models continue to struggle with the timing and strength of these
systems, with the more middle ground 12Z GFS solution being the
preferred solution.
