Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
533 AM AKDT Wed Apr 5 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The main upper level features are a broad upper level low over the
Gulf of Alaska and associated shortwaves rotating north and west
across the mainland. Weak upper level ridging remains over the
central Bering, with an upper level low to the west over the
western Bering.

At the surface, A 969 mb low has pushed into the gulf from the
east, keeping gusty winds and precipitation along the Northern
Gulf and Cook Inlet region. Out west, a weakening front continues
to produce some scattered rain and snow showers across Southwest
Alaska. Gusty Northerly winds and showery conditions continue
over the Eastern Bering and Alaska Peninsula, whereas much more
benign conditions are observed over the Central and Western
Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models overall have a similar handling of the broad synoptic
features through much of the short term forecast. By Friday
morning there was a slight discrepancy with the positioning of the
low near Kodiak Island, where the NAM started to become the more
westerly outlier. However, with the most recent 06Z run of the
NAM, it has joined back with the other model solutions in keeping
the low just south of Kodiak. Overall the NAM was used to help
capture local gap flows, with some emphasis on the GFS later on
to capture the preferred low position over the western Gulf.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

A potent 966 mb low located in the southern Gulf of Alaska will
be the main weather driver over the next several days. While it
will remain well to the south, its associated front is potent
enough to support storm force winds as it quickly swings across
the Gulf Coast tonight into tomorrow. Turnagain arm winds are
expected to remain generally low, with relatively little
ageostrophic forcing available. However, cross barrier flow will
be sufficient to support steady precipitation on upslope regions
of the east Kenai Peninsula, with downsloping across the western
Kenai and Anchorage Bowl. In contrast, strong northerly gusts are
expected to develop along southern portions of Cook Inlet this
evening through late tonight due to the strong north to south
pressure gradient across the Inlet.

By Thursday, gusty winds are expected across Kodiak Island as the
low drifts to just south of the island. The strongest gusts are
expected by Thursday morning as cold air advection occurs on the
back side of the low. The low will linger near Kodiak Island and
weaken into Friday. As a result, wet and gusty conditions will
persist through the short term across much of the Gulf Coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

Cyclonic flow will continue to bring daytime rain and nighttime
snow to the Bristol Bay region through Sat, with the Kuskokwim
River Delta having a chance of precipitation through tonight.
Upstream from the Delta the remainder of the Kuskokwim should be
dry into the weekend. The Alaska Peninsula will be the recipient
of numerous snow showers on northwest flow. These showers will
combine with gust winds to produce areas of blowing snow into
Friday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

Snow showers will sweep across the western Bering and then the
central Aleutians through tonight as a short wave moves to the
north Pacific. The next gale force front, associated with a
Kamchatka low, brings rain and snow to the western and central
Aleutians this afternoon through Friday. The next Kamchatka front
brings rain and snow to the western and central Aleutians Fri
evening through Sat.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The extended forecast begins on Thursday afternoon with a
weakening low pressure system south of Kodiak Island. The overall
pattern is southeasterly flow for much of southern Alaska. The
most lingering rain will be around Kodiak Island and upsloping
areas of the Alaska/Aleutian range, while most inland areas will
stay on the dry side. The Alaska Peninsula and eastern Bering
will continue to see snow with this system.

The pattern changes in the longer term as the initially zonal jet
amplifies a tad as energy comes off the east Asia continent. The
takeaway for most of the state is a stagnation of the current air
mass as the storm track stays well south of the Gulf of Alaska.
There are several pieces of energy, with cold air aloft, that
could stray over the area. The main sensible weather with these
features would be a return to a diurnal mountain shower pattern.
Otherwise, expect seasonable temperatures and light winds.
