Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
435 AM AKST Wed Nov 23 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A broad complex low in the southern Gulf is bringing showers to
areas around the Gulf including Kodiak Island. To the west of this
low, remnants of a front stretch across the eastern Bering
bringing rain and snow to the Alaska Peninsula. Moving in behind
the diminishing front is ridging that is tracking east and moving
over the Central Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models are in good agreement until Friday when there are
differences with the track of a low that is pushing across
southwest Alaska into the Gulf. The NAM brings the low into the
northern Gulf while the GEM is in the southern Gulf with the GFS
and EC in between. The further north solutions will offer the best
chance of snow for Southcentral Alaska but uncertainty with the
track of this low is high. The GFS solution was preferred.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The low in the Gulf of Alaska is weakening and will move
southward, leaving southcentral Alaska under mostly clear skies
through Thanksgiving Day. Kodiak Island will still see some gusty
winds and rain showers with this low today, but will also clear
out for Thanksgiving Day as the low moves away from the area and
the island comes under northwest flow. The next system moves in
from the southwest reaching Kodiak Thursday night and then into
the Cook Inlet region Friday.

&&

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

Offshore flow is expected to diminish today as an area of low
pressure near Kodiak Island drifts further east into the Gulf of
Alaska. As this happens, high pressure will build across the
region from the north, which should help continue this period of
below normal temperatures. On Thursday, a very potent frontal
system will move across the eastern Bering Sea and inland over
Southwest Alaska. While some warmer air aloft is expected to nudge
into Southwest Alaska ahead of the front, 850 mb temperatures are
still expected to be in the -5C to -6C range, which is a huge
indicator that most, if not all, precipitation will fall as snow.
Model soundings indicate the snow growth zone will be nearly
saturated and have nice upward vertical motion due to the synoptic
forcing of the front. This should help squeeze out a storm total 3
to 6 inches across Southwest Alaska Thursday evening through much
of Friday, with the highest accumulations expected along the
Bering Sea coast. Chances for blowing snow seem pretty small at
this time as winds are expected to only peak at around 15 to 20
mph, because the frontal boundary falls apart rapidly as it moves
inland. This concern will continue to be monitored in the coming
days.

&&

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

As one area of low pressure exits the Bering Sea to the east this
morning, another one moves in from the west. A deepening area of
low pressure off the east coast of Kamchatka has begun to swing
another potent frontal boundary toward the Bering Sea. Gale force
winds will develop over the far western Bering Sea this morning as
the front approaches. However, winds will increase to storm force
(50-55 kt) near Shemya as the surface low moves into the Bering
Sea. A nice jet streak associated with the upper low stacked on
top of the surface low will help create another dynamic fetch
scenario, where seas are expected to increase to 35 to 40 ft on
Thursday. Much of the Bering Sea will see winds range from 30 to
45 knots Thursday and Friday as this low moves across the region.
In addition, periods of light to moderate rainfall and snowfall
will be expected across the Bering Sea with the potential for
minor accumulations over the western Aleutians.

&&

.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. The
current solution brings the low to the central ALeutians, and
then across the Alaska Peninsula into the Gulf of AK on Sun. Look
for the associated weather front to approach the Southwest Alaska
coastline 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.
