Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
550 PM AKST Sun Feb 12 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

The arctic airmass in place over southern Alaska is beginning to
undergo change. A low pressure system south of Kodiak is working
its way to the northwest. A front extends to the northeast of this
low and is presently just south of the Gulf of Alaska. This front
will continue to climb north as it is aided by a shortwave being
ejected around the base of an upper level trough. This front is
advancing much warmer temperatures, copious amounts of moisture,
and is the focus for a dramatic shift in the weather this week.

Out west, cold northerly flow and instability snow showers continue
over pretty much all of the Bering Sea. Satellite imagery reveals
the sea ice is growing quickly and surging southward.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

As is always the case coming into an event, guidance struggles to
lock in on to details and are causing a decrease in confidence
across the anchorage area. Aloft, models are in excellent synoptic
agreement through the first three days. Closer to the surface is
where the devil is in the details. Surface trends for the
placement of the low differ by 100 or so miles from the NAM to
that of the EC/GEM. These small changes can either make or break a
solid downslope event. Guidance is in lock step showing a low end
turnagain arm wind that will be pulled down the inlet keeping
colder temperatures. All of this adds up to a forecast picture
for the first half of the week that is trickier than normal, with
the potential for the forecast to go awry in a number of ways.
Overall the NAM was the preferred model for updates to the short
term forecast today.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A deep upper level centered over the AK Pen will continue to
surge significant amounts of moisture and warm air into the Gulf
and South Mainland tonight. A trough centered just south of Kodiak
Island will first bring storm force winds from the Barren Islands
into the North Gulf Coast. This trough will initially bring snow to
the Gulf Coast which will begin to switch over the rain by late
tonight as significant warm air advection develops. The one
exception to this will be in the Valdez/Thompson Pass areas, which
will struggle to switch over to rain until Monday afternoon at the
earliest. There is however a concern that due to continued cold
air advection from the Copper River Basin snow will continue into
Monday evening or even Tuesday, in which case the area has the
possibility of seeing warning level accumulations.

Another concern is over the Anchorage Bowl, where downsloping
from the Chugach will limit the heaviest but not all precipitation
from reaching the ground. There is however good confidence that
light snow will become rain by Monday afternoon as temperatures
rise to around freezing. However due to the prolonged cold-snap
that had been over the area, this rain may freeze to untreated
roads, even if temperatures rise above freezing. Right now the
best chance for widespread rain appears to be be Monday evening-
Tuesday night as a series of shortwaves moves overhead. The good
news is that this appears to be a relatively short-lived warm up
as the cold upper level trough will begin to approach from the
west late Tuesday-Wednesday, allowing temperatures to fall back
below freezing with a chance of snow.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
As the front pushes in from the south and spreads across southwest
Alaska, winds will increase out of a northeasterly direction. For
the Kuskokwim Delta this will result in the loose snow on the
ground being blown around and reducing visibilities tonight. These
winds combined with the cold temperatures over the area tonight
will also bring wind chills below -40F for inland locations of the
delta.

For areas around Bristol Bay, snow will spread from the Aleutian
Range to the north and west tonight into Monday. With the stronger
winds developing tonight north and west of King Salmon snow and
blowing snow conditions will be a concern. Winds and snow will
begin to diminish Monday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Strong northerly winds will continue for the eastern Bering,
Eastern Aleutians, and Alaska Peninsula into Tuesday with the
strongest core of winds gradually shifting to the west. These
winds combined with snow over the Eastern Aleutians is causing
blowing snow conditions that will persist into Tuesday.

Monday evening heavier snow will move in over the Pribilof
Islands and with winds around 40 mph, blowing snow will possibly
drop visibilities to blizzard conditions of one quarter mile.
However, there remains uncertainty as to whether the strongest
winds will setup further to the west and there is also some
disagreement with the amount of snowfall for the islands.

&&

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

By Tuesday evening there will be a large closed upper low centered
over the Eastern Aleutians with a broad southerly flow across
Southcentral. Colder air wrapping around the low will result in a
mix of rain and snow chances from the coast inland. Across
southwest Alaska, enough cold air will be in place for all snow.
Over the Bering, continued cyclonic flow aloft with cold air
streaming over warmer waters will support widespread snow
showers. By Wednesday and Wednesday night a series of weak
disturbances along a baroclinic zone in the Gulf of Alaska will
work northward toward the coast. Much uncertainty remains with the
track of these shortwave troughs, so for now will hold with inland
snow chances heading through the weekend as another arctic trough
moves into Southwest Alaska Friday then stalls. Colder air will
then remain in place across southern Alaska through next weekend.
