Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
430 AM AKDT THU SEP 22 2016

The frontal system that has brought heavy rain and high winds to
much of the Gulf Coast since yesterday is beginning to make
landfall from the North Gulf Coast into Prince William Sound.
Winds however are on the increase as a barrier jet has developed
as the front makes landfall, which is bringing widespread storm
and approaching hurricane-force winds from the Cordova area into
Prince William Sound. A surface low riding along the southern edge
of this front is quickly developing as it races towards the
eastern Kenai where it will make landfall and continue moving into
the Susitna Valley today. The pressure gradient from this low is
helping to bring gusty northerly winds to Resurrection Bay
overnight, and will help to bring one last round of southerly
winds to Southcentral today as it moves into the Susitna Valley.
Over eastern Bering/Southwest Mainland, a broad upper low is
bringing widespread rain showers into the area as well as gale
force northwesterly winds. These showers are beginning to become
more widespread is cold air filtering down from Siberia moves over
the climatological warm waters of the Bering Sea.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Overall the models are in much better agreement than the previous
days, especially in how they are handling the developing low south
of the front over the Gulf. There still remains some differences
in the strength of this low, but with much better agreement in
timing/track. The GFS was primarily used for this low overnight as
it has best matched overnight observations, especially near
Prince William Sound and Resurrection Bay. Afterwards the models
are in very good agreement into this weekend as the Bering low
moves over the Mainland, leading to improving forecast confidence
moving into this weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR ceilings will drop to MVFR or IFR shortly after 12z as
winds become light and variable with surface low moving overhead.
Gusty southerly develop between 15z and 18z and persist through
the end of the TAF period, with cigs gradually improving to low
VFR later this afternoon and evening with rain ending.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
An intense and rapidly north-moving low near the Kenai Pen this
morning heads into the interior and weakens today. Strong east
winds across the North Gulf Coast diminish rapidly this morning as
the front lifts north into the interior and weakens. Strong
pressure rises develop in the wake of the north moving surface low
and front and bring brisk to locally strong (Copper River)
southerly winds across Southcentral. These gusting conditions will
slowly diminish on Friday. Rain will lift north with the front
today. Rapidly cooling temps aloft and a series of upper waves
will bring instability showers across much of Southcentral and
Gulf through today and continuing into Friday. Thunderstorms are
possible over the warmer waters of the Gulf, as well as, Gulf
coastal locations.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The potent system moving into Prince William Sound early this
morning will bring steady moderate rain to the eastern half of the
Kuskokwim Valley and the western Alaska Range today as it races
northward into the interior. Otherwise, widespread shower
activity will continue to be the primary weather concern into
Friday across most the southwest mainland as the Bering low makes
gradual eastward progress along the coastline into Bristol Bay.
The most intense shower activity is expected to remain along the
coast through tonight in closer proximity to the low, however
showers will begin to diminish in coverage across the Kuskokwim
Delta by Friday as the low pushes inland over Bristol Bay. This
will serve to enhance showers over interior Bristol Bay and the
Kuskokwim Valley through Friday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The story remains largely the same across the Bering through
Friday as the broad low pushing eastward towards Bristol Bay
continues to promote widespread showers and gusty winds. Winds
will predominantly be around Small Craft Advisory level for most
areas through Friday, although some gale force gusts will be
possible in the vicinity of the Pribilof Islands on the backside
of the low. Showers will begin to diminish from west to east
across the western half of the Bering tonight into Friday night as
ridging builds in behind the departing low.

&&

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

Beginning the extended period forecast Friday evening, a broad
upper level trough will encompass all of the Bering Sea and
southern Alaska. A digging arctic trough will be in the process of
moving into northwest Alaska and will eventually merge with
another separate trough over the North Pacific and Gulf of Alaska.
Showers and light precipitation will consolidate along the digging
trough Saturday and Saturday night and will continue to move east
through Sunday with precip chances ending from west to east.
Slightly cooler air will settle in behind the trough, especially
across southwest Alaska.

Monday and beyond, the upper level flow will become highly
progressive and low amplitude as a series of shortwave troughs
cross the Bering Strait into southwest Alaska. The track and
timing of these lows in somewhat uncertain with the first moving
into southwest sometime Sunday night into early Monday. With a
trough to the east, this should incite an offshore flow pattern
over Southcentral with rain and moisture being blocked/downsloped
from the Alaska Range, thus most rain chances will remain over
southwest Alaska through most of Tuesday. After that, much
uncertainty develops by midweek as a strong shortwave trough moves
out of eastern Siberia. The ECMWF favors more ridge amplification
over the Bering and a track that remains closer to the Brooks
Range whereas the GFS is quite a bit farther south. The current
forecast favors an ECMWF/ECMWF ensemble approach from WPC which
highlights greater ridge amplification and lower precip chances by
midweek and into the latter part of the week. No major storms or
anomalous temperatures are expected during this period as the
North Pacific subtropical moisture remains displaced well to the
southwest.
