Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
415 PM AKDT Sun Mar 19 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A blocking upper level ridge remains in place over much of the
Bering Sea. East of the ridge is an upper level low over the
southern mainland and Gulf of Alaska, and to the west is another
upper level low southwest of the western Aleutians. Conditions
have become more active over the northern Gulf of Alaska as an
upper level low moved over the area and the surface low
strengthened east of Seward. Widespread snow and snow showers
spread accumulating snow across much of the eastern Kenai
Peninsula. Snow showers also were observed across the remainder of
the North Gulf Coast along with a few passing showers over the
western kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet. Relatively dry conditions
were evident across the remainder of the mainland.

A low southwest of the Aleutians and the associated front
approaching the western and central Aleutians produced gusty
easterly winds and cloudy conditions across the aforementioned
areas.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models overall in the west were in fairly good agreement. Across
south central Alaska the models did not initialize well with the
low east of Seward. All the models placed higher emphasis on a low
center much further to the southwest, except for the NAMNEST
which did have the surface low center closer to where the
observations indicated. Overall we will be leaning with the
NAM/NAMNEST for the forecast across southcentral Alaska. Out to
the west we will continue to roll with the GFS.

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A weakening low located in the northern Gulf of Alaska just to
the south of Seward will continue to be the focal point for the
weather throughout south central Alaska into Monday. This low
will continue to bring snow showers from the Seward and Girdwood
areas eastward into the Cordova area this evening. These showers
should be lighter than was experienced late Saturday into early
Sunday morning, though some areas such as Turnagain and Moose Pass
may see up to 4 inches of additional accumulation. One big
question with this system is whether the Anchorage Bowl and
Matanuska Valley will see any snowfall from it as these areas
remain on the western edge of the snowfall with weak downsloping.
As a result, any snowfall that does reach the ground should be
short lived and very light, and widespread accumulations are not
expected. As this low dissipates this evening, persistent gusty
winds that have been blowing as a result of it from the Matanuska
Valley southward into Cook Inlet will begin to end late this
evening in response to the diminishing pressure gradient.

Beginning on Monday, skies throughout the region will begin
to clear from west to east as the upper trough axis slowly slides
to the east and is replaced by ridging from the west Mainland.
This will allow for cool and dry air to return back into
south central Alaska with another chance for an outflow wind event
for the Gulf Coast beginning late Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

There will be little change in the pattern over southwest Alaska
through Tuesday as very dominant ridging over the Bering Sea will
maintain the northerly flow pattern in place. Northerly winds will
remain on the gustier side during the afternoon periods as
diurnal sunshine helps mix stronger winds down. Otherwise, expect
continued cold night time temperatures with slowly warming
temperatures closer to normal (but still below normal).

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

A gale force closed low over the far Western Bering Sea will
slowly weaken through Tuesday with the associated front stalling
over the central and western Aleutians. An area of sea stratus
over the Pribilof Islands should move west this evening with
partially clearing skies. Otherwise, dominant high pressure
ridging over the remainder of the Bering Sea will keep quiet
weather in place. Easterly winds near the ice edge will continue
to support freezing spray.

&&

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

The southern mainland remains under dry conditions through the
extended forecast as ridging dominates over the central and
eastern Bering Sea. A slow warming trend can be expected during
the next week as the polar jet weakens along the western coast.
The most active weather will focus in the western Bering Sea and
Aleutians as a parent low near the Kamchatka Peninsula moves
several fronts up from the Pacific. Snow showers will also
prevail over the Gulf of Alaska as a weaker surface low becomes
better organized mid week due to a strong upper level wave progged
to dive from the arctic and re- invigorates the weakening low.
The forcing from this upper wave will also bring gustier north
flow, especially along north to south oriented gaps.

Models are in good agreement with the general synoptic pattern
through next Saturday; therefore a general blend of the
operational models/ensembles was used for updates. The upper level
ridge currently over the Bering Sea breaks down mid week;
however, ridging re-amplifies in the same region as the
subtropical jet pushes an organized low into the far western
Bering Sea late Thursday. This low moves a warm front into the
central Bering Sea and eastern Aleutians bringing rain and gusty
gales for the end to the week.
