Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
420 PM AKDT Tue May 9 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The upper level low centered in the southern Gulf of Alaska is
continuing to weaken as the upper level ridge over the eastern
Bering sea pushes eastward. The next upper level low in the series
is just a little southwest of Attu and moving eastward. The jet
stream is around these lows and the ridge but generally remaining
south of the forecast area.

The northern Copper river basin along the Alaska Range is the area
with the greatest convective instability this afternoon. Southern
parts of the Copper River Basin, while unstable, are limited by
the showers that have produced thick cloud cover.

At the surface, the warmer temperatures in the interior of the
state are creating a thermal trough which is helping to turn
winds in Southern Alaska to the south to southwest in a generally
weak pressure gradient. The Aleutians, due to the strengthening
low near the western Aleutians, is the only part of the forecast
area that has any significant pressure gradient.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
There is not a lot to discuss with the models. As is the case
with a rather stable longwave pattern, they are in good synoptic
agreement. The GFS was used over all with some details added in
from the higher resolution NAM runs.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will persist. Winds are a little different
from yesterday; while there is still a Turnagain Arm wind, the
general flow over Cook Inlet is from the Southwest instead of the
Northeast. This will likely bring in winds from the south-
southwest this afternoon to evening instead of the southeast,
though probably not as strong as yesterday's winds. Wednesday is
likely to see more southwesterly winds in the afternoon and
evening with the expected gradient.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Currently there is convection to the north of the Alaska Range
as seen on the Pedro Dome Radar. This activity in the eastern
interior is expected to push south into the northern portion of
the Copper River basin this evening. The models continue to ping
into negative lifted indices and pockets of +100 J/KG of cape
which translates into better chances of thunderstorm activity
across most of the Copper River Basin Wednesday. Thursday the
models back off on the convective parameters, but will continue
to monitor the run to run continuity with the models.

Elsewhere...southeast flow continues to bring moisture into
Southcentral AK and portions of the Kenai Peninsula. Continued the
downward trend with the pops as the upper level ridge axis
marches eastward from the AK Peninsula. The Anchorage metro area
will be mild and dry.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The upper level trough has pushed to the Alaska Range. Another
weak upper level trough follows this across southwest Alaska late
Wednesday. Moisture is rotating from the system over the Gulf of
Alaska west across the Aleutian Mountains. This all combines to
result in elevated instability along with available moisture along
the Alaska Range and Aleutian Mountains for the next couple of
days. Showery conditions remain likely, though the threat for
thunderstorms is minimal. We're still on track for diminishing
cloud cover with building high pressure late Wednesday and Thursday.
Temperatures should see a gradual increase over the next couple
of days remaining in the upper 50s to mid 60s across much of the
southwest mainland.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The front now extending from the northwest Bering Sea across the
central Aleutians is dissipating as the second front associated
with yet another low is moving to the extreme western Aleutians.
This low will intensify as it moves to near Amchitka through
Wednesday night pushing its associated front to the southern
Alaska Peninsula. Expect this front to pack gale force winds and
also anticipate gale to minimum storm force winds around the low
center and the secondary wrap occlusion Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Confidence in the mid-term is starting to increase as forecast
guidance begins to adequately handle the upcoming systems. The
first system that will be sliding across the southern Bering is
now progged to weaken into a trough of low pressure in Bristol Bay
by this weekend. This will bring continued wind and rain to the
Bering and Western coast. Model differences start to show late
Saturday and into Sunday with how this trough will progress.
Overall cloudcover is expected to increase through the weekend,
but any good chances for precipitation are still looking minimal
for the Anchorage area. Temperatures with daytime heating will
continue to approach the upper 50s with this Friday being the best
chance for the official high to reach 60 for the first time this
year.
