Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 442 PM AKDT Mon Sep 4 2017 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The pattern is highly amplified aloft with a mature upper level low centered south of the Alaska Peninsula. The downstream side of the system features a north/south oriented jet stream of 140+ kts. The jet sits atop a similarly oriented baroclinic zone in the low levels, featuring a tight temperature gradient of 18C over the eastern Gulf and 2C over the western Gulf at 850mb. The interaction of these two features will be the focus for the forecast the next two days. The previous frontal boundary has pushed inland and dissipated over the mainland while the remainder over the Gulf has re-oriented and stalled. A few showers are left over the Kachemak Bay area and a few over the eastern mainland from Cordova eastward. Inland areas have cleared nicely behind the previous front, while temperatures remain in the 50s. Winds for the time being are relatively light across the area. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Guidance is rapidly evolving and converging on a solution for a developing low pressure system in the Gulf. Previous runs of most models had the surface low pressure moving into Prince William Sound. The 12z models have all strengthened and moved the surface center farther south and west, crossing the Kenai Mountains into Cook Inlet. The focus for this event now shifts from rainfall amounts in southeast Prince William Sound, to wind potential around the Anchorage Area. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist until about mid-day (20Z) Tuesday. A strong low pressure system will then quickly approach the area. There is quite a bit of uncertainty in the track of the low, but based on an average of the latest guidance, expect strengthening northerly winds Tuesday afternoon with rain and VFR ceilings. At some point late Tuesday afternoon or evening winds will shift to southeasterly and may be very strong (gusts to 45 kt possible). There will likely be a short window of wind shear in there during the wind shift. Since this is near the end of the taf period, have just indicated the general trends for now. Will add more detail with the 06Z taf. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... While the Anchorage Metro area enjoys the last vestige of pleasant weather this evening, a mature cyclone continues to push into the Gulf Of Alaska with the occluded low spinning just west of Kodiak and the tail end of the cold front extending into the North Pacific. Multiple vort lobes have been detected circulating about the parent upper level low and will move into southcentral and southeast over the ensuing 48 hr period. The values of precipitable water and wind elements are running two standard deviations above normal with a return interval 10 to 30 years on the North American Ensemble Forecast System. All of the models are pinging into a tight pressure gradient as the surface low moves across the area. In the wake of the low passage there will be robust pressure rises. All of the signatures are present for a strong early season wind event. Bottom line, the primary impacts will be gusty winds and rain. Gale force winds will spread north across the Gulf and then into Prince William Sound. Strong winds are also expected to materialize for the Portage Valley, Turnagain Arm, Anchorage Hillside/Bowl and Cook Inlet. There remains some uncertainty in storm track and where the strongest winds will occur. Will monitor new guidance closely because there is some potential for damaging winds, most likely in the form of blown over trees. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... An upper low centered south of the Alaska Peninsula will support the continued threat for light rain showers over parts of the Bristol bay region and the Lower Kuskokwim Valley this evening before upper level forcing diminishes. Most of Tuesday will begin on the drier side before a rapidly developing low moves toward Cook Inlet in the evening and overnight period. This low will support increasing rain threats from the Bristol bay region to the Lower Kuskokwim Valley with the threat for locally heavier rain rates given the dynamic nature of this low. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... A gale force low, which was the former remnants of Typhoon Sanvu, will move from the Western Aleutians tonight and slowly work eastward through Wednesday. A continued but slow weakening trend is expected since the low is well displaced from the subtropical stream where most of the energy was derived. Expect light rain to impact the Western and Central Aleutians as it moves east. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The long range forecast beginning Wednesday evening remains in an active pattern through the weekend. Lingering rain showers along the Gulf coast and southern interior will persist during this onshore flow pattern through Thursday. Out west, the remnants of Typhoon Sanvu tracks across the central Aleutians and into the southwest Gulf by thursday night, spreading gusty winds and rain along the Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula Wednesday into Thursday. This system will then traverse the Gulf and bring another round of showers to Kodiak island and the Gulf coast Thursday into the weekend. High pressure will build over the western Aleutians and Bering on Thursday and spread eastward over much of the area by Saturday. Guidance is struggling with the track and speed of the next system tracking into the western Aleutians Saturday night, and progressing further eastward into the Bering Sea by the early part of next week. Even though there is decent agreement with regards to the Aleutians, Bering, and southwest mainland seeing some gusty winds and rain from this system, confidence remains low on the exact strength, track, and timing of this system. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
