Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
438 PM AKDT Sat Apr 1 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The upper level low that was positioned off the Kuskokwim Delta
yesterday morning has moved southeastward and is now positioned to
move into the Gulf of Alaska, directly behind the main upper level
low that moved there yesterday afternoon. An upper level trough
continues to move through the pattern over the mainland, but also
continues to weaken as it butts up against a shortwave ridge over
the mainland. Southerly flow has brought warm air into the
region, and the combination of downsloping and a warmer air mass
has finally brought springlike temperatures to much of the eastern
mainland. In the west, the predominant flow is wrapping around a
surface lo located just northwest of Bethel. This is bringing some
colder air into these regions and snow showers continue through
the Kuskokwim Delta and have returned to Bristol Bay and the AK
Pen.

Over the Bering, high pressure poised over the Kamchatka
peninsula is keeping the jet stream much further south. This high
is reflected at the surface in the far western Bering, keeping
mainly fairly weak northerly flow and showery conditions over the
Aleutians and most of the
Bering Sea.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models are in good agreement during the short term, with some
minor differences in the West with the movement of the front in
the Monday timeframe. The GFS was the preferred model of choice
through the short-term, with some high-resolution data used in the
west to focus on details. The forecast confidence is above
average through the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Look for predominantly VFR conditions with drier downslope
conditions for the Anchorage Bowl through Sunday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The upper low crossing into the gulf today will lift northward
into Southcentral AK through Sunday afternoon. This will serve to
enhance precipitation along the coast and also bring snow levels
back down to sea level by Sunday morning as cold air advection
commences from the southwest. Precipitation will then diminish in
intensity on Sunday night as transitory shortwave ridging moves
through ahead of the next strong front poised to move through the
gulf on Monday. Inland locations will continue to see mild, cloudy
conditions and only a slight chance for showers as southeast flow
across the coastal mountain ranges continues to produce downslope
drying.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Southwest Alaska is currently under the influence of a surface low
in the western Gulf just to the east of the Barren Islands, a
trailing trough stretching to a secondary surface low over the
Kuskokwim Delta and a cold upper level trough digging southwest
over the Alaska Peninsula. The surface low over the Kuskokwim
Delta will gradually drift north and fill tonight through Sunday.
An upper level low over the eastern Bering will rotate an upper
trough over Bristol Bay and lift it north across Southwest Alaska
Sunday and Sunday night bringing a colder air mass onshore and
tapering the persistent showers off to scattered snow showers
through the end of the weekend. Ridging ahead of a frontal system
lifting into the Gulf will build over Southwest Alaska Sunday
night and Monday morning with the incoming frontal system
spreading precipitation to the Alaska Peninsula and greater
Bristol Bay area Monday and Monday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Ridging over the western Bering and Aleutians will shift east to
the central Bering through Sunday then gradually weaken and drop
southeast Sunday night through Monday. Northerly flow over the
eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula will tighten between this
flattening ridge and the next incoming low pressure system as it
approaches the southern Gulf. Troughs off of the Kamchatka
Peninsula will move into the western Bering Monday and Tuesday
bringing an increase in shower coverage.

&&

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

The southern mainland will remain under the same general weather
pattern through the middle of next week. This will feature more moderate
temperatures and rounds of steady precip along the gulf coast with
lesser chances for precipitation inland. Meanwhile, the Bering Sea
region will remain fairly calm as most of the activity remains in
the Gulf. By the 2nd half of next week things will start to change
a bit as the upper low currently over the western Gulf will slowly
retrograde westward into the eastern Bering Sea. This will keep
southcentral Alaska in moist onshore flow, but the widespread
precipitation events should come to an end. This will probably
allow the first true springlike pattern with breaks of sunshine
and mild temperatures to move into the area by early next
weekend. The other side of this coin will be that more active
weather will slowly spread back across the Bering Sea, but at this
point no storms look unusually strong or impactful.
