Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 352 PM AKST Tue Feb 28 2017 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... An upper level trough continues to dig southward across the western Gulf of Alaska, supporting a surface low in the Gulf. To the west, the ridge continues to amplify across the Western Bering, with broad high pressure at the surface. The pressure gradient between these two features has been generating gusty gap winds along the north Gulf coast. The mixing associated with these winds has kept overnight temperatures warmer. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models are in generally good agreement today in capturing the gusty winds across portions of central Bristol Bay and the Kuskokwim Delta. Models are also in general agreement of the outflow winds very gradually weakening through the evening hours. The high resolution models are still performing the best at capturing these gap winds and as a result were favored for the forecast. In addition, models are generally in agreement of the trough digging southward and the intensification of the upper level low as it pinches off. && .AVIATION... Expect VFR conditions and gusty northerly winds to persist through Wednesday morning. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... In two words: cold, windy. The upper level pattern remains pretty steady state for the next 48 hours. The only precipitation over the area will remain over Gulf waters as several disturbances rotate around the upper low pressure. Gusty wind will continue to be the main forecast issue elsewhere. The surface pressure gradient will stay compressed along the north gulf coast, continuing gap winds in favored locations. Mountain-wave activity will weaken in the Valdez area tonight, so gusts, while still continuing, will not be as severe as last night and this morning. Winds will continue at the same level through the pass. The gradient shifts slightly tonight, favoring more winds in the Matanuska Valley with gusts into the 40s. This shift will also bring more gusty winds into the Cook Inlet region with the strongest gusts right along the Inlet. While the air mass is much colder, these winds will keep temperatures from dropping further. On Thursday, winds will pulse upward along the Gulf coast once again with the potential to be stronger than the current event. Keep an eye on the forecast for further updates. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... With high pressure over the Bering and low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska, northerly flow will continue into Thursday. The northerly winds will bring down dry, colder air from the north and also help to keep skies clear. With unstable conditions and shortwaves moving through the area, gusty winds are expected through tonight and into Wednesday. The combination of winds and cold temperatures will bring cold wind chills for much of southwest Alaska tonight and Wednesday morning. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... High pressure over the central Bering will keep most of the activity out west over the Western Aleutians. An old stalled front sits over the area while another weak system moves toward the Western Aleutians from the south. This system will also be stalled by the high pressure as it nears the islands. Out east over the Eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula, northerly flow will bring showers to the Bering side of the islands and peninsula. The showers will diminish early Wednesday as the main trough moving through the area pushes off to the south. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... By the beginning of the extended forecast period (Friday) much of the region will have already undergone a transition in the overall pattern, with a broad upper level trough over much of the Mainland and Gulf, and strong ridging out west over the Bering Sea and Aleutians. This general setup will persist through early next week, which will consist of colder air filtering down from the arctic and strong outflow winds over parts of the Southern Mainland. Models remain in good agreement with the overall pattern into the weekend. As expected though, there is more uncertainty with regards to the finer details, especially with respect to low amplitude shortwave troughs diving south toward the Gulf of Alaska coast Friday through Monday. All three major global deterministic models, (the ECMWF, Canadian GDPS, and GFS) along with their respective ensembles, are also depicting a rather significant bora polar air outbreak across much of Mainland Alaska. There is potential of seeing 850 hpa temperatures reaching as low as -20C to -30C across the Southern Mainland with cold offshore flow along the coast. The March sun should moderate some of the cold air at the surface, but the reality of this situation is it will be quite cold and well below average for the next 7-9 days, dominated by dry offshore flow and cold interior temperatures. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
