Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
628 PM AKST Sat Nov 26 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The main feature affecting Alaska weather today is the low
pressure system rotating its way through the Eastern Bering. This
is a well stacked system with both the surface low and the upper
level low located just north of the AK Pen. The associated
occluded front has made its way across Kodiak and is slowly
marching towards the Southcentral region. The strongest winds with
this system are on the southwest side of the low, with warning
level winds currently affecting the Eastern Aleutians. These
winds are expected to move eastward and affect the western AK Pen
this afternoon as the low crosses the Peninsula.

On the mainland, northeasterly flow in Bristol Bay and the
Kuskokwim Delta is keeping surface temperatures cool and winds
quite gusty. Snow from the occluded front has only made it as far
as Bristol Bay, but this precip combined with the winds is
dropping visibilities to near blizzard conditions this morning and
is expected to continue.

Precip from the occluded front is currently falling as rain in
Kodiak and snow in Homer. The cold dome in place over the mainland
is expected to keep things primarily as snow, except for right
along the coastal regions. This will also push the main low track
further south, limiting the amount of precipitation to make it
inland today.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models have continued on an increasingly southerly track with the
low moving across the AK pen. This will make a difference in the
amount of precipitation to make it into Southcentral and the
Copper River basin over the next few days. There is also a slight
difference in timing of the onset of the precipitation, which
makes the forecast a bit challenging. Current thinking is that the
timing of the NAM is better, but that the GFS is handling the cold
air advection behind the front more accurately -- which would
prolong precip longer than the NAM would indicate.

In the west, a NAM/GFS blend was used for tonight and tomorrow,
trending more toward the GFS as the forecast moves into Sunday.
The quicker trend of the NAM continues through Sunday, which is
why the GFS solution was preferred on the next system to approach
the Aleutians.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Although snow is expected to move over PANC as early as
18z tomorrow, it should be very light with the initial front with
minimal impacts to aviation. As cold air moves in behind the
front, however, snow may increase and last beyond the current TAF
period causing MVFR vis/cig for an extended period.

&&

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

A strong surface low coming in from the west will cross the
Alaska Peninsula and track across Kodiak Island this evening. North
to northeasterly winds will increase to 45 to 50 knots ahead of
and to the north of the low with similarly strong west to
northwest winds pushing in behind it. Easterly barrier jet winds
to around 45 knots will develop along the northern Gulf coast
tonight. Snow and blowing snow is a concern for the eastern Kenai
Peninsula tonight where brisk east to northeasterly winds will
orographically enhance snowfall rates and blow around the new snow
reducing visibilities. Turnagain Pass and the Portage Valley are
the most likely travel routes to be impacted by these conditions
while new snow piles up in the surrounding mountains.

The large low will gradually weaken as it tracks from west to
east across the Gulf tonight and Sunday. A trailing surface
trough will form into a secondary low over Prince William Sound
Sunday afternoon and persist through Sunday night as a cold upper
level trough crosses the Alaska range and pushes into Southcentral
Alaska. A deformation band forming on the northwest side of the
low will bring light snow to the eastern Kenai Peninsula,
Anchorage Bowl, Matanuska Valley and eastern Susitna Valley
starting late Sunday morning or early afternoon. Accumulations
will be fairly light...in the one inch or less range through late
afternoon before the cold advection dynamics take over and
increase snowfall rates Sunday evening. The heavier snow will
shift east into the Copper River Basin late Sunday night through
Monday as the surface low shifts east along the northern Gulf
Coast.

The next low pressure system will begin spinning up in the North
Pacific Monday and then rapidly deepening as it tracks into the
southern Gulf Monday night and central Gulf of Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
The weakening low that is beginning to exit the Bering will bring
continued snow (heavy at times) along blowing snow from gusty
winds coming into the low. Conditions the low levels became more
moist than expected today as the snow began, which will severely
limit widespread blizzard conditions from developing. The Blizzard
Warning however was allowed to continue into the early evening as
the strongest winds and heaviest snow are currently occurring, so
a few isolated areas briefly reduced to one-quarter mile
visibilities aren't out of the question.

Another surprise was a few snow showers that have briefly reached
as far north as Bethel. These are however not widespread or
intense enough to cause significant blowing snow issues to that
area with gusty easterly winds. Conditions over the Kuskokwim
Delta should then begin to improve by early Sunday morning as weak
ridging moves in. Further to to the south, strong cold air
advection moving into Bristol Bay will allow for snow showers to
continue into much of the day Sunday before clearing from west-
east in the late afternoon/early evening. This will once again be
a brief break in the weather as an a low currently approaching the
Aleutians will bring another round to snow to Bristol Bay late
Sunday-Monday, though winds and snowfall rates will be much less
than the current event. This will be a brief shot of snow, with
most inland areas in western Bristol Bay only receiving an inch
or two of snowfall before ridging brings quieter weather to the
region beginning late Monday-mid week.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
Winds over the eastern Aleutians-AK pen will begin to diminish
by late this evening. Over the eastern Aleutians, the strongest
winds have moved to the east of Dutch Harbor, though strong
westerly winds will continue until late tonight. Further to the
east over the AK pen, high winds will quickly develop late this
afternoon, especially near E-W oriented gaps (such as King Cove),
before diminishing throughout the area by late tonight.

An active pattern will then continue as another storm force low rapidly
approaching the central Aleutians will bring storm force winds to
that area by late tonight before spreading into the southern
Bering. The good news is that this system is expected to be much
weaker than the current Bering low, with impacts expected to be
much less. As this low approaches the Pribilof Islands,
temperatures will likely remain cool enough for a rain/wet snow
mix with gale force winds, however with the warm waters currently
surrounding the area this should not produce any blowing snow
concerns. This low will then move to near the southwest coast on
Monday as it weakens below gale force. Yet another storm force low
will then move into the western Aleutians beginning late Monday,
which will bring gale-storm force winds and rain to the western
half of the region into mid week.

&&

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

The long term forecast will see a continuation of the active
weather pattern that Alaska has seen over the past one to two
weeks. Another powerful low pressure system will cross from the
North Pacific into the Bering Sea near Adak Tuesday night, which
will bring yet another borderline gale force to storm force low
into the Bering Sea. At the same time, A deepening area of low
pressure in the northern Gulf of Alaska will be sprinting
northward before making landfall along the gulf coast near
Yakutat. Both of these systems are expected to bring plenty of
rainfall/snowfall to much of the area. However, much of Southwest
and Southcentral Alaska will remain on the dry side until
Wednesday night when the frontal boundary associated with the
area of low pressure in the Bering Sea begins pushing inland.

By Thursday afternoon, the area of low pressure in the Bering Sea
will begin moving inland over Southwest Alaska which will likely
bring a showery regime and a bit of warmer air briefly back to the
state. As the low slides eastward Friday and through the weekend,
cold air on the back side of the low will once again filter in
from the Arctic which will allow below normal temperatures to
build back across Southwest and Southcentral Alaska through the
weekend. While it is hard to nail 6 to 8 days out, it appears
that a decent shot of snow will be possible for inland locations
including Anchorage next weekend as the upper level low moves over
Anchorage and downsloping from the frontal boundary gets negated.
