Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
454 PM AKDT Tue Oct 3 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

The large scale pattern features a trough over the western part of
the state extending well south into the northern Pacific. At the
base of the trough lies a weakening vertically stacked low that is
opening into a wave this afternoon. Downstream of the trough a
ridge holds steady over western Canada. The upstream trough is
just starting to acquire a slight negative tilt as it banks up
against the base of the ridge to the east. Between the two upper
level features, an atmospheric river continues to pump subtropical
moisture to the northeast Gulf coast. Radar imagery shows the
western fringe of this moisture, currently over eastern Prince
William Sound, spreading west this afternoon toward Southcentral.

Further west, showers over the Kuskokwim Delta associated with a
departing low are just starting to weaken this afternoon. A strong
jet streak aloft and rather impressive low-level baroclinicity
associated with a surface front over the western Aleutians is
priming the western Bering for the development of a strong low
this evening. This low will be the main weather-maker over the
coming days.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The models remain in general synoptic agreement. However, there
are some minor differences in timing and intensity with the low
and associated front tracking through the Bering/Aleutians today
through Wednesday. It seems reasonable as the two main features
which affect Alaska develop under fairly strong upper jets. The
first feature traveling north into the Gulf today appears best
captured by the NAM/GFS models. The next big storm moving across
the Bering Sea today through Thursday is also best captured by the
NAM/GFS, bringing strong winds and higher seas to much of the
Bering and Aleutians.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions will continue through today, but will likely drop
under 5000 ft this evening as rain begins to fall over the
Anchorage bowl.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Rain will quickly spread westward back into Southcentral early
this evening as the Gulf low slowly moves into Prince William
Sound and dissipates. This low will be strong enough to cause a
brief increase in the gap winds throughout Prince William Sound as
it passes through, all of which should then diminish by late
tonight. Rain will then continue in most areas into Wednesday,
giving little if any break in the weather before a gale force
front moves through the Gulf late Wednesday-Thursday. It is with
this feature that most of the forecast updates were made today,
mostly with increasing winds throughout the Gulf and gusty gap
winds from Turnagain Arm eastward into the Copper River area.
While a weak lee side low is expected to develop behind this
front, a strong pressure gradient created from a much deeper low
over the west coast will be the primary driver for gusty winds
that are expected to develop over the Anchorage Bowl and Matanuska
Valley on Thursday. There will be some downsloping associated
with these winds, however with winds quickly becoming
southwesterly aloft this will likely not be strong enough to
prevent rain from falling over the downslope prone areas on the
lee side of the Chugach for most of the day Thursday. Conditions
throughout the area will begin to slowly improve on Friday, but
with continued cyclonic flow aloft most areas will remain cloudy
and showery to end the work week.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
There is an upper level trough over the Kuskokwim Delta so expect
light showers to continue overnight as this feature pushes inland.
After a short break between storms, the main event is expected to
begin tomorrow as a low pressure system rapidly intensifies over
the Bering Sea. The leading edge of the precipitation shield will
reach western Alaska tomorrow afternoon with the bulk of the QPF
expect late Wednesday night and into Thursday morning. The tight
pressure gradient will hold up through Thursday and widespread
gusty winds are anticipated. A long fetch of strong westerly winds
will also lead to increased surge and the potential of minor
coastal flooding and beach erosion. Right now, the highest
potential for flooding looks to be for locations along Kuskokwim
Bay, including Quinhagak and Goodnews Bay, where water levels
could be 2-3 feet above high astronomical tide on Thursday. See
the Special Weather Statement for more information.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
A strong jet parallels the Aleutian Chain this forecast period.
Expect rough seas, strong winds and rapid cyclogenesis. This is a
high confidence event, with multiple solutions progging a minimum
central pressure of around 960 mb by Wednesday night. The low
will trek across the Central Bering on Wednesday and Thursday.

&&

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

The extended forecast period begins Thursday night with the
remnants of a powerful Bering sea storm moving eastward into
Southern Alaska. This strong cyclone will still be impacting
Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula with strong gale force winds
with the strongest core of winds moving into the Gulf of Alaska
Friday. Strong mid level westerly flow will be supporting a well
defined upslope/downslope pattern with most lower elevations areas
drying out while precipitation favors higher mountain slopes.
This pattern regime will persist through Saturday before the
pressure gradient weakens and a trough digs out over the Bering
Sea. Much uncertainty develops at this juncture as the global
models diverge rapidly with the development of a surface low along
the subtropical warm front. The Canadian GDPS and GFS prefer to
phase the upper trough with the entire warm front, creating a much
deeper and slower moving low while the ECMWF has a faster moving
low and a lower amplitude trough. The differences become stark by
Sunday as the ECMWF is racing the low across northern Gulf of
Alaska while the Canadian and GFS depict a deep low south of the
Eastern Aleutians. Long story short, we continue to favor a WPC
blend approach which favors more stable ensemble solutions showing
a weaker low moving north toward the AK Peninsula Sunday and
Monday with increasing chances for precipitation into the early
week.
