Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
449 PM AKST Tue Nov 22 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Very little overall has changed in the upper levels from yesterday.
A broad upper cut-off low is still hanging south of the Gulf with
waves rotating westward across the southern Gulf. Numerous showers
are evident with this wave, mainly over the Gulf waters, though
rain showers are heading toward Kodiak Island. Out west, a trough
associated with a strong upper level low over the west central
Bering stretches toward the eastern Aleutians. A fairly strong
zonal (west/east) jet is evident on its southern periphery. At the
surface, a fairly vigorous low is stacked under the upper center
and its associated frontal band extends eastward across the
northern Bering to over the Akpen. Satellite imagery shows
widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms across much of the
southern Bering/Aleutians associated unstable air under the cold
upper trough. Storm force westerly winds were also evident over
the western Aleutians with gales elsewhere.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models overall through the short term were in fair agreement.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC TAF...Generally VFR. There is a low probability of fog Wed
morning which would briefly drop ceiling and visibilities near
minimums.

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

There is a small closed low in the Gulf of Alaska this evening,
with its associated front skirting along the North Gulf Coast.
Rain and snow showers will clip parts of the Eastern Kenai
Peninsula and parts of Prince William Sound tonight before it
weakens and moves south Wednesday. Otherwise, dry offshore flow
will remain the dominant weather mode with mostly clear skies and
continued local gap winds, especially along the coast and across
Valdez. Expect cooling temperatures as overnight inversions remain
strong, thus limiting daytime temperature recoveries.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The remnants of the gale force front that moved through the Bering
yesterday is now draped over the southwest coast, which will help
to bring around an inch of fresh snow from the AK pen into
western Bristol Bay this evening. The front will then dissipate
over the waters of Bristol Bay late tonight, allowing skies to
begin to clear under high pressure and weak offshore flow and may
allow for some patchy fog/stratus to develop in the Kuskokwim
Valley overnight. Otherwise, a period of quiet weather will begin
on Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure moves into the area.
This pattern will begin to break down late Thursday as a gale
force front with rain and snow moves into the southwest Mainland
that will persist into late in the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
An active weather pattern will continue over much of the Bering
through much of the work week. Widespread snow and rain showers
have developed along the current gale force low over the Bering,
some of which may be strong enough to bring a few lightning
strikes from the Southern Bering into the eastern Aleutians. These
thunderstorms should all dissipate by late tonight as temperatures
warm aloft ahead of the next Aleutian low. The front from this
low will quickly move into the western Aleutians by Wednesday
morning, and there is now good confidence that storm force winds
will develop over the western Aleutians as the low approaches on
Thursday. The low will then slowly weaken over the Bering, and
bring gale force winds to much of the region for the end of the
work week.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The biggest change in the extended forecast deals with the storm
force low that develops in the base of the longwave trough south
of the Western Aleutians by Friday. The previous storm track had
this system tracking along the Chain before entering the Gulf.
Look for the associated weather front to approach the Southwest
Alaska coastline region by Saturday morning. The temperatures for
the Southwest Alaska area remain below freezing. Therefore, the
precipitation will fall as all snow as this feature moves through
the region this weekend. This synoptic feature brings gale force
southeasterly to southerly winds accompanied by rain/stratus along
the Chain before spilling over into the eastern Bering heading
into the weekend. Storm force westerly to northwesterly winds
occur on the backside of this system as it skirts along the
Central/Eastern Chain before exiting the region. The ECMWF model
is faster than the GFS with this system, but both models bring
this storm into the northern Gulf by Sunday evening before moving
inland by Monday afternoon. Therefore, the Southcentral region
will be affected by the associated weather front by late Friday
evening going into Saturday morning. Due to the colder
temperatures already in place, any precipitation will fall as all
snow for the Southcentral region. Due to the model discrepancies
with the storm track, the forecast confidence remains average at
best through this upcoming weekend.
