Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
406 AM AKDT TUE JUL 19 2016

.DISCUSSION...

Models...Initialized well against the 06Z surface analysis.
Similar solutions through around 60 hours. A break from the
westerlies later in the week as a trough develops over the state
Friday and persists through the weekend. Heaviest precipitation has
ended with the first wave, and the next wave of significant
rainfall will be late Thursday with models currently showing
amounts from 0.25 to 0.75 inch possible through Saturday. Will use
primarily a blend of the current solutions and the database to
maintain continuity, and fix some of the leftover discontinuities
in the current forecast database.

Aloft...At 500 HPA...A 516 dam low over the Beaufort Sea will
move southeast to be south of Banks Island by Wednesday morning
then continue moving east. A series of shortwaves will spin around
the low over the eastern arctic and eastern Brooks range through
Wednesday with a clearing shortwave moving through late Wednesday
night. Northwest flow continues over the west coast and interior
into early Friday morning when a trough develops over the west
coast, and absorbs a 549 dam low that is moving east over the
northern Bering Sea, and moves over the interior by Friday night.
Ridging from a 598 dam high over the north Pacific extends north
over the Gulf of Anadyr then west over the Kamchatka Peninsula
today, and will break down as that low moves over the northern
Bering Sea with ridging only extending north to the Seward
Peninsula and gradually being forced south as the trough develops.
Weak troughing will persist over the arctic into Friday, then
ridging builds east across the area. At 850 HPA...Zero isotherm
has dropped south to lie from Dawson Yukon to Arctic Village to
Anaktuvuk Pass to Barrow with the temperature over Kaktovik around
& below Celsius this morning.

Surface...Front has moved south a bit and extends east from the
Seward Peninsula over the Alaska range this morning. Front will
persist over those areas through Wednesday then slide a bit north
and back over the interior early Thursday morning, then persist in
the area through Saturday. A weather front over the arctic
continues to bring precipitation to the eastern arctic and eastern
Brooks range as well as strong winds, but continues to move east
and will be clearing the area by late Wednesday.

Arctic coast and Brooks range...cloudy conditions prevail with
some clearing over the northwest coast later today and tonight.
From Barrow east the low over the arctic will continue to bring
occasional showers to the area, with more persistent showers east
of Nuiqsut. Up to 8 inches of snow above 3500 feet in the eastern
Brooks range east of the Dalton highway today and tonight with
snow ending by late Wednesday. Strong gusty winds to 45 mph east
of Deadhorse will diminish later today, otherwise west to
northwest winds at 10 to 20 mph will persist over the area through
Friday. Temperatures will remain on the cool side through the
week.

West coast and western interior...Rain continues to the south of
Kotzebue sound over the southern Seward Peninsula, across the
Nulato hills, to the upper Kuskokwim River Basin, and over the
western Alaska range. The precipitation will slowly move north as
weak ridging pushes over the Kuskokwim Delta and the lower Yukon
Delta tonight. Up to 1 inch of rain over those areas today and
tonight before a short break midday Wednesday. Rain moves back
over the lower Yukon Delta by midday Wednesday as the next
weather front moves northeast into the state from the Bering Sea.
Currently the Unalakleet River is running high during high tides,
and expect that to continue, with no issues being seen on any of
the other gages. No significantly strong winds the next few days,
and wind direction will be variable as the weather fronts and weak
ridge move through the area. Winds speeds generally 10 to 20 mph
with slightly lighter winds north of the Bering Strait and inland.
Temperatures will remain on the cool side through the week.

Central and eastern interior...Significant rain with the front
has basically ended for this round, but another round is in sight
for Thursday as a front moves northeast into the state from the
Bering Sea. Flood Advisory continues for the Chena river and
caution should be used near all the local rivers as water
continues to make its way into the mainstem rivers. Cloudy
conditions will prevail with a few breaks possible today and
tonight. Winds generally southwest to west at 5 to 15 mph today
and Wednesday. Temperatures will remain cool with highs in the 60s
and lows in the 50s.

&&

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...Generally cloudy conditions across the area with
high Relative Humidity values through the week. Rain will continue
over most of the west coast, but it remains fairly dry over the
Kobuk and Noatak valleys today. Rain will move into those areas
Wednesday as a weather front moves northeast across the area with
a high probability of wetting rains. Another front will move over
the Lower Yukon Delta Wednesday spreading another round of wetting
rains to the western zones and eventually into the interior zones.
Temperatures will remain cool across the forecast area. Good to
Excellent overnight Relative Humidity recovery through the week.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...Flood Advisory continues for the Chena river, see
latest statement for up to date information. With more rain on the
way the saturated ground will allow more runoff to make its way
into the mainstem rivers producing bankfull conditions in many of
the basins between the Brooks range and Alaska Range. The
Unalakleet river is currently flowing above action stage during
the high tides, but only minor inundation of low lying areas is
expected during the high tide cycles through Thursday.

&&

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Winter Storm Warning FOR AKZ206.

Small Craft Advisory FOR PKZ245.

Brisk Wind Advisory FOR PKZ235-PKZ240.
