Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
342 PM AKST Sun Dec 11 2016

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A large upper high continues across the mainland. Strong surface
inversions along with fair skies and cold temperatures were
observed across the mainland. There were however a few areas
across the Kuskokwim Delta, inland Bristol Bay, and West Anchorage
which experienced low stratus and fog. Brisk and gusty outflow
winds were evident across the North Gulf Coast and the Eastern
Kenai Pen. A weakening upper trough and associated surface front
were evident offshore of the Kuskokwim Delta coast. A secondary
and stronger frontal zone moving east across the Aleutian was
creating gusty southerly winds and areas of light rain.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in generally good agreement through the short term with
the timing of surface features. Differences do exist with the
upper level trough moving across Southcentral Tuesday, but the
sensible surface weather should be similar between models.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Some fog is lingering in the area, with variable conditions
early this evening. There will be more widespread fog beginning
later in the evening and continuing into the early afternoon hours
on Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Gap flow winds will continue along the north Gulf coast in the
more narrow gaps with high pressure inland and lower pressure
over the Gulf. Otherwise, ridging over Southcentral Alaska will
keep most of the cloud cover away allowing for cold temperatures,
especially overnight. Monday night into Tuesday, a shortwave will
push through the area from the southwest bringing a potential for
precipitation to return to Kodiak Island.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The weather pattern begins to shift tonight as a Bering front
moves to the Southwest coast. The front picks up a fast pace
today bringing gusty winds and rain to the Alaska Peninsula this
evening. A weak trough along the eastern Bering combined with a
shortwave swiftly moving north toward Nunivak Island, initiates a
few snow showers tonight along the Kuskokwim Delta coast. Another
stronger front crosses the Bering late tonight moving across to
the Alaska Peninsula early Monday and then to the Southwest coast
by Monday afternoon. This front is pulled across the Southwest as
a strong upper wave slowly lifts northeast into Tuesday. New snow
accumulations are expected between 1 to 2 inches, but will need to
be monitored as models are still struggling with the dynamics of
this system. The other challenge with this forecast is precipitation
type along the Southwest mainland. Models are trending toward
warmer solutions which could bring a change from snow to rain
along the coast sooner than expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The highest impacts through Tuesday surrounds the storm system
moving a front into the western half of the Aleutian Chain Monday
morning. Storm force winds are expected develop along the front
Monday morning across the Western and Central Aleutians with wind
direction along the front out of the east then veering to the
south behind the frontal passage. Winds also increase to storms
across the western waters with rain spreading north across the
Bering. The low center nears Shemya Monday evening and deepens on
it's northward track which keeps storm force winds through late
night. Winds taper to gales on Tuesday with a directional shift to
the south and west as the low center lifts north.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7...Fri through Tue)...
A shift in the upper air pattern will be underway Tuesday night
and Wednesday as a high latitude blocking high over Alaska weakens
as a series of Bering Sea storms send energetic waves through the
ridge late week into the weekend. The first of these storms will
already be slowly weakening across the Western Bering Sea with the
associated remnant trough axis moving through Southcentral by
Thursday. Precipitation with this feature will be rather
disorganized as the weakened trough moves through the ridge axis.
However, a stronger storm force low moving into the Western Bering
Sea Thursday will send a much stronger occluded front into
Southern Alaska, spreading widespread precipitation (rain and
snow) across the southern mainland Friday and Saturday.
Thereafter, uncertainty grows with the exact storm track as the
baroclinic zone shifts south and another strong NPAC low moves
toward the Gulf of Alaska. By this time the forecast favors a
broad WPC ensemble blend approach.

Bottom line...the rather stagnant weather pattern will be
changing dramatically mid week and beyond, starting in the Bering
then moving east. Expect warming temperatures to near if not above
normal along with threats for snow and rain by Friday.
