Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
431 PM AKST Thu Mar 2 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
There is an upper level low over the Gulf of Alaska, centered
over the northwest Gulf and southeast mainland. Upper level high
pressure is over the central and eastern Bering Sea. Strong
northerly flow aloft is in between these two features, over
western Alaska and the extreme eastern Bering. At the surface
there is high pressure inland and low pressure over the Gulf,
resulting in fairly strong offshore flow. Winds are especially
strong through Thompson Pass and Valdez. There is a low pressure
system over the western Aleutians, with a front extending into
the central Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The numerical models are in good agreement through the short-term
portion of the forecast (Saturday afternoon). There is some
disagreement on how the models handle a low moving into the
western Bering Friday night and Saturday. The NAM was a bit of an
outlier, being faster and further north than the other models.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Breezy north winds will continue into Friday afternoon,
then diminish late Friday afternoon into the evening. Otherwise,
VFR conditions will persist.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Sunny days and clear nights will persist through Saturday. Windy
conditions will continue across much of the region, with the
strongest winds through channeled terrain. The High Wind Warning
for Valdez through Thompson Pass has been extended until 6 pm
Fri. This wind will also cause blowing snow over higher mountain
elevations. Wind over the area will slowly begin to diminish
Friday night. Cold overnight lows with good daytime temperature
recovery can be expected, especially in areas sheltered from the
wind.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
With ridging over the Bering, dry northerly flow will continue
across southwest Alaska for much of Friday. However, winds will
diminish through this time as the low in the Gulf moves away
causing the gradient to weaken. The high will then weaken on
Friday and move south allowing for a weak wave to push east across
the Bering toward southwest Alaska. This will bring more cloud
cover to the area early on Saturday, but there is still disagreement
amongst the models on how much precipitation will make it to land.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
High pressure continues to dominate the central Bering keeping
most of the rain and snow out over the Western Aleutians. Late
Friday into Saturday this will change as the ridging retreats to
the south allowing for a weak wave to push across the Bering over
top of the ridge. Late Friday night snow will make it to the
Pribilof Islands and last into Saturday, but transition to rain
as more warm air is ushered in.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
By Saturday evening, the high amplitude upper level ridge will
have tilted back to extend from the North Pacific, across the
eastern Aleutians to run northwest across the Bering to eastern
Russia. An equally large scale upper level trough will extend
from the Arctic, across much of Mainland Alaska, through western
Canada to the Washington and Oregon Coast. An upper level trough
associated with a particularly cold arctic low over Banks Island
in far northern Canada will dig south into the Yukon Territory
and eastern interior Alaska Sunday. This upper trough will both
reinforce the very cold air mass and strengthen the surface high
pressure inland. Additionally, the passage of this trough across
the northern Gulf Coast late Sunday night/Monday morning will
bring another rather strong push of offshore gap winds through
Monday night. The offshore gradient will diminish gradually
Tuesday through Wednesday, however will still be quite sufficient
for the cold, dry offshore flow pattern to persist over
Southcentral Alaska through the end of the week and beyond.

The negatively tilted ridge over the Bering will become more
upright and shift slightly east putting southwest Alaska under
northerly flow aloft Monday and Tuesday. The ridge will continue
to tilt east shifting the flow aloft to northeasterly Wednesday
and Thursday with the axis of the ridge rotating into southwest
Alaska by Friday. Over the Bering, stratus underneath the ridge
will be a forecasting challenge through the week with the stratus
reaching the Kuskokwim Delta coast toward the end of the week.
Several frontal systems will move through the western Aleutians
through the week but will be prevented from making it further east
by the large upper level ridge in the Bering.
