Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
322 PM AKST Mon Jan 2 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The large blocking high aloft and its associated surface
reflection are the dominate features for today. In response,
strong temperature inversions were evident Bristol bay to across
Southcentral Alaska. Satellite imagery showed widespread fog
across Knik Arm stretching north toward Palmer, across Turnagain
Arm, and impacting portions of Anchorage Bowl. Patchy fog was
evident across the northern Kenai Peninsula and the Copper River
Basin. Outflow winds were evident across the eastern Kenai Pen and
North Gulf Coast with generally light winds elsewhere across
Southcentral.

Out West, a stalled and fairly weaken frontal boundary was evident
across the Ak Pen to over much of Southwest Alaska. Other than a
little light rain, conditions were generally cloudy and
relatively warm across the Southwest mainland. Gusty south winds
along the frontal boundary where observed from the AK Pen to over
the Kuskokwim Delta. Light to locally gusty south winds with
showers were observed over the central and western Bering Sea and
Aleutians.

&&
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in relatively good agreement through the short term.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...The big challenge remains the fog. Strong temperature
inversions will likely remain around through Tuesday morning.
There may be brief periods where visibilities and ceiling lift
through this afternoon as the fog deck drifts around. Overall
though, expect IFR to LIFR ceilings and visibilities through
Tuesday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The Southcentral Alaska regions biggest challenge through the
short term forecast remains the fog. The upper level closed high
pressure remains parked over the Gulf with associated ridge
extending northward through the area. Therefore, look for patchy
areas of dense fog across the Anchorage Bowl before extending into
the upper Western Kenai Peninsula going into the overnight hours
tonight. The lowest visibilities of one half mile or less at times
will occur mainly along the knik arm, and the west Anchorage area
heading into early Tuesday morning time-frame. As the westerly
winds begin to develop tomorrow, this aids in mixing out the fog
resulting in the dissipation of this weather phenomena by Tuesday
midday. An upper level weak shortwave tracks through tomorrow, and
a secondary shortwave heading into early Wednesday time-frame will
bring in cooler temperatures with gusty gap winds through the
Whittier region.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Precipitation and fog are the main challenges in the forecast
through Wednesday afternoon. The ridge centered over the gulf
flattens out on Tuesday allowing a strong short wave to push the
currently stalled front along the eastern Bering and west coast,
toward the Alaska Range. The highest chances for precipitation
will be along the Kuskokwim Delta and Valley as a surface low
organizes over the north central interior and pulls a trough axis
east. The boundary is expected to be diffuse across Bristol Bay
where influence from surface ridging from the gulf is replaced
quickly by the next ridge moving in from the Bering. Precipitation
will mainly continue as rain along the stalled boundary as a
warmer air mass glides north from the Pacific. When the front
begins it's track east the strong jet, that has been pumping the
warmer subtropical air mass north, weakens allowing for the
colder air mass advecting in from the Bering to catch up to the
front and change precipitation over to snow.

The other challenge will be fog across the entire Southwest
mainland. Low level moisture remains abundant through midweek
setting up a ideal environment for patchy to dense fog. Influences
from the ridge in the Gulf and the developing ridge in the Bering
help to stabilize the atmosphere outside of the frontal boundary.
The most challenging conditions will be present along the ridge
building into the Kuskokwim Delta behind the front Tuesday night
into Wednesday with widespread reduced visibilities possible. With
the surface high expected to build to 1048 mb by Wednesday
afternoon, associated strong subsidence will trap low level
moisture to near the surface, setting up near-ideal conditions
for fog.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Rain and small craft gusty winds will be the main impacts along
the stalled front this evening through Tuesday afternoon across
the Alaska Peninsula and eastern Bering.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Models remain in good agreement in the mid and long range with a
high amplitude blocking pattern developing and persisting through
at least early next week. A shortwave trough will cross the Alaska
and Aleutian ranges Wednesday then continue east-southeast across
Southcentral Alaska and the Gulf Wednesday night. Following this
trough passage north to northwest winds will increase sharply
especially out of coastal terrain gaps. Additionally,
significantly cooler air aloft will push from interior Alaska into
Southcentral Alaska Thursday and Thursday night. The upper level
dynamics supporting the strong outflow winds will weaken Friday
and Saturday as the large upper level ridge shifts slightly east.
However, the deepening pool of cold air in the Copper River Basin
will keep the Thompson Pass and Copper River Delta winds blowing
strong the longest.

Aside from some scattered snow showers possible over the Kuskokwim
Valley and along the Alaska Range on Thursday associated with a
shortwave dropping down from the northwest, southern mainland
Alaska will remain dry for the foreseeable future. The upper
level ridge will initially amplify over the Bering Wednesday night
and Thursday, then shift east over Bristol Bay and western Alaska
through the weekend where it will then remain anchored. A more
active storm track will persist across the western Aleutians where
a series of low pressure systems will continue strengthen and
track north through the southerly flow on the west side of the big
blocking ridge.
