Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
440 AM AKST Wed Nov 30 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The low over the eastern Gulf is falling apart as it moves inland
near Yakutat. As it exits so does much of the cloud cover and snow
for Southcentral Alaska. However, in the more stable environment,
some areas of low level stratus have formed, especially with
places near water like around Cook Inlet. Out west another low
over the Central Aleutians is tracking east across the islands.
Its associated front is pushing through the Alaska Peninsula
towards the Bristol Bay area. This setup is also bringing cold air
to the other areas around the southwest.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models are in good agreement with the main synoptic features.
There are however some issues with some of the smaller scales
impacts like how much snow will fall around Southcentral Alaska
Wednesday night into Thursday. The higher resolution models were
chosen to help with these decisions.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...There is uncertainty as to when the approaching front will
make it over Anchorage. This will impact when ceilings will fall
as well as visibility. It looks to be a more gradual decline for
ceilings with intermittent worse conditions, but there is
uncertainty in when these changes will happen. However, the snow
should be light and conditions should stay above IFR.

&&

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

A triple point low develops this afternoon along the broad warm
occluded front(frontal trough) which extends southeast across the
Gulf. The frontal trough heads north ahead of the triple point low
bringing snow to the northern Gulf and Kenai Peninsula by
afternoon. Some light snow will make it over the Chugach mountains
this afternoon into the Anchorage Bowl and Matanuska and Western
Susitna Valleys. Snow should become mixed with rain along the
coasts by early evening, but will stay cold enough for snow
elsewhere. Storm force winds are expected to develop along the
Barren island marine zones this afternoon with gales elsewhere
ahead of the north moving front and triple point. There could be
some brief blowing snow issues in the Cordova area late this
afternoon before the snow mixes with rain. Some brief periods of
blowing snow are also possible through Portage Valley. Things
could get a little more interesting across the Anchorage Bowl
tonight as the triple point moves near eastern Kenai Pen and the
cross barrier flow diminishes. Probably will see measurable
snowfall, though with model spread on the low position, there is
still a fair amount of uncertainty on snow amounts. Mid level
southerly flow across the Susitna Valley developing tonight
should bring a fair amount of snow (sub-advisory) to the northern
Susitna Valley tonight through Thursday morning. The threat of
snow inland from the Anchorage Bowl north continues into Thursday
night with a mix along the coasts.

&&

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

The front moving across the Alaska Peninsula this morning will
begin to pivot, and take up residence along the Aleutian and
Alaska Ranges through Thu night before dissipating on Fri. During
this time light snow will fall initially south of King Salmon
today, and then along the Aleutian and Alaska Ranges through Thu
night, ending on Fri. Light snow from this feature will ultimately
affect much of the Bristol Bay zone and Kuskokwim Valley through
the period. While this is happening, cold air and breezy
conditions will affect the Kuskokwim Delta, with advisory level
wind chills this morning and Thu morning. Some weak waves will
then bring some snow showers to the Southwest AK coast on Fri. A
tightening pressure gradient will also develop across the Alaska
Peninsula Thu through Fri with strong winds, especially through
channeled terrain and into marine areas south of the Peninsula.

&&

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

A low moving rapidly along the Aleutians will spread some rain
and snow along the islands and southern Bering today. Beginning
tonight strong cold advection will sweep across the Bering on
west to northwest flow. This will bring snow showers to the entire
area. On Fri a strong front from a Kamchatka low will bring
significant warming to the western Aleutians with snow changing
to rain as it begins its traverse of the Bering.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7...Fri through Tue)...
Beyond the late week snow threat, be prepared for the coldest
temperatures of the season this weekend. As the afore mentioned
low moves toward SE AK, some more energy will dive from the Seward
Peninsula into the base of the longwave trough over the Gulf. Then
a ridge building over the Bering will serve to reinforce very
cold, dry air moving over the AK Range and into Southcentral AK.
Clouds could help to keep the bottom from falling out, but skies
should clear by Mon allowing for the coldest morning of the 2016
winter.

The cold air will also help to usher in some impressive outflow
winds. Typical places like Thompson Pass, Whittier, and the Copper
River Delta could see very strong gusts. But gaps along the AK
Range will likely see the strongest winds with gusts approaching
hurricane-force as they blast into Shelikof Strait.
