Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
443 PM AKDT THU OCT 6 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A modified omega blocking pattern aloft continues across the AOR.
A sharp ridge extends from the southwest Gulf of Alaska to over
the central interior with a weakening low over the eastern Gulf
and a long wave trough extending southeast across the Bering Sea
and eastern Aleutians. Generally clear skies with weak offshore
flow continue across Southcentral Alaska. Further west, strong
southerly flow on the backside of the ridge maintains a broad N/S
baroclinic zone across the eastern Aleutians/eastern Bering Sea.
Gale force southerly winds were observed across much of the
eastern Bering Sea/east Aleutians, as well as, the AK Pen.
Precipitation was observed along the Eastern Aleutians/East
Bering Sea/AK Pen.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

The models are in surprising good agreement with the track and
intensity of ex-typhoon Chaba as it heads toward the Aleutians.
Considering this extra-tropical system develops under a strong
nearly zonal upper jet. The GFS was the preferred model with this
low. A secondary low develops in the NE Pacific under the left
exit region of upper jet and heads to the Western AK Pen on Sat. A
blend of the GFS and Canadian Global will be used with this
feature.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Generally VFR conditions are expected into Fri. However,
there will be some patchy ground fog in the VCNTY of the airport
Fri morning. Conditions at this time are expected to remain VFR
through Fri, but some very brief periods of lower visibilities may
occur during the morning hours.

&&

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

A closed upper-level high pressure center over the northwest part
of the state is producing another spectacular day across nearly
the entire forecast area. The only clouds evident on afternoon
satellite imagery are out in the gulf and around Kodiak island,
although even Kodiak is seeing another day of unusually dry
conditions as virtually all of the significant active weather is
being confined well west of the Alaska range. Overnight low
temperatures this morning were the coldest of the season so far,
and each of the next two nights should be more of the same. A
little bit of fog formation on parts of the Kenai Peninsula and
maybe even around Anchorage can't be completely ruled out, as the
weak dry offshore flow at the lower levels will be pretty much
coming to an end tonight. Nevertheless, any fog that does form
will be short-lived and is not likely to become widespread.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

Skilak glacier-dammed lake, high in the Kenai mountains, has begun
to release. This event usually occurs every 2 years in the fall,
and sends a significant amount of water into Skilak Lake and then
onto the lower Kenai river. The good news this year is that, with
dry weather for the last week, and more dry weather for the next
week, river levels are starting fairly low (compared to water
levels during the summer and as recently as 2 weeks ago). So while
the Skilak lake and lower Kenai river areas will see water level
rises in the 1-3 ft range through early next week, it does not at
this point look like water will get high enough to cause any
flooding issues.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A strong ridge of high pressure centered over mainland Alaska will
stall the incoming frontal system over the eastern Bering and
Alaska Peninsula as it gradually weakens through Friday. Clouds
and windy conditions will spread as far east as the western coast
with precipitation remaining mainly over Nunivak Island and the
Alaska Peninsula. Some patchy fog is possible late tonight over
Kuskokwim valley but otherwise the weather will remain party
cloudy to mostly clear and dry until Friday night or Saturday when
a developing frontal wave pushes precipitation slightly further
inland over the Kuskokwim Delta and western portions of the
Bristol Bay area.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The extra-tropical system containing the remnants of Chaba will
rapidly strengthen as it tracks east-northeast towards the central
Aleutians tonight. As the surface low crosses the Aleutian chain
near Amchitka Friday morning, it will still be deepening so think
high wind warning level winds are likely for the central Aleutians
with a broad swath of storm force winds of 50 to 60 knots in the
adjacent marine waters. The low will become vertically stacked as
it tracks north through the central Bering Friday night and
Saturday allowing it to weaken slightly but still remaining a
rather large and significant feature supporting Gales over a broad
area. Another developing frontal wave south of the eastern
Aleutians will track north across the western tip of the Alaska
Peninsula Saturday and then continue north bringing around 45 knot
winds to its east across Bristol Bay and coast waters to the
north.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Dominating high pressure over mainland Alaska looks to continue
into mid next week keeping most of the active weather over the
Bering, Aleutians, and Gulf of Alaska. Confidence does diminish
early next week as the models are struggling with the weaker lows
moving through the pattern. However, there is still some consensus
with the high lingering over the area. As far as when and where
the various lows will impact coastal areas there is much less
certainty based on the models struggling to handle the upper level
pattern. Because of this the ensembles where preferred to get a
middle ground solution.
