Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
507 AM AKST Sun Jan 8 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The longwave pattern remains an impressive Omega Block with a
ridge centered over western Alaska. The block is then anchored by
one low near the Kamchatka Peninsula and the other off the coast
of Washington/Oregon. The 30,000' jet is fairly continuous over
the ridge moving at about 120kts. This is leading to a rather
interesting set-up across the mainland of AK where Barrow is more
than 20F degrees warmer than Anchorage. Warm air from the North
Pacific is being dragged up and over the ridge and into the Arctic
Coast. Meanwhile, dry and cold Arctic air is being ferried
southward across much of the Interior and into South Central. A
surface high under the ridge is making for increasingly stable
conditions. There is a little low stratus over portions of
southern AK, but offshore flow and dry air is helping to keep
fog/stratus from developing and becoming widespread. The most
active weather in the state is west of Dutch Harbor. A storm-
force warm occlusion is sliding through the Central Aleutians into
the western Bering. It peaked overnight with gusts around 70mph
and should continue to weaken through the morning as rain and snow
showers move in behind it.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models remain in very good agreement leading to high overall forecast
confidence. We did trend the winds over the western Bering down a
little faster and also held the precipitation further west as the
ridge shows no signs of giving way. Most adjustments were made
using the NAM and manual edits to outflow winds in South Central.
Fog will start to become an issue tonight from the Cook Inlet up
through the Copper River Basin, but models are notorious for
struggling to handle it, especially on the first night it
develops.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. Fog is
expected to develop late tonight mainly along the Inlet, but
exactly how dense and widespread will need to be assessed through
the day.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Strong ridging will continue to provide dry conditions across
Southcentral Alaska. Persistent offshore flow on the east side
of the upper ridge will maintain a lee side surface trough over
the northern Gulf. This will sustain tight surface pressure
gradients along the coast and keep gap winds going.

Meanwhile, low level temperatures (above the surface) will
steadily warm under the ridge. This has already led to significant
temperature inversions as indicated in this morning's Anchorage
sounding (5 degrees at the surface warming to 40 degrees at 3000
feet). Expect areas of fog to form over northern Cook Inlet as
these inversions strengthen, perhaps leading to a repeat of the
widespread dense fog from a week ago. The rest of Southcentral
will either be lacking a moisture source or too windy for
significant fog formation, though there will likely be some more
isolated areas of fog in sheltered valleys. Temperatures will be
near to slightly below normal for areas near sea level, with much
warmer above normal temperatures in the mountains.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The current period of benign weather will continue well into the
upcoming week as a very strong high pressure system remains the
dominant feature. Winds should be relatively light but the
offshore component of the winds will help keep skies mostly clear
thus preventing any chances of snow within the next week or so.
There is a chance for some patchy fog to develop over the
Southwest coast early this morning, especially near Nunivak
Island, but any fog that does develop should be very patchy and
short lived. More widespread fog is expected to develop over the
Southwest Mainland, as the strong high sets up over the area
Monday into Tuesday. A return of seasonal temperatures has
accompanied the high pressure system and these near normal
temperatures will likely continue well into next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The frontal boundary over the western Bering Sea will begin to push
into the Central Aleutians and Bering today, while weakening and
halting it's eastward progress as it runs into the dominant high
pressure over the mainland. The front is expected to dissipate
Monday morning west of the Pribilof Islands before the high
pressure over the mainland retrogrades westward. Decent rainfall
has been reported along the frontal boundary thanks to a deep
southerly fetch from the subtropics, but much of the Bering Sea
remains on the dry side.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The blocking high pressure remains the key feature as it
maintains it hold over the Southwest/Southcentral region. There
may be some fog development as this synoptic feature develops
through the long term forecast. Otherwise, all low pressure
systems will remain on the periphery of the Western
Bering/Aleutians. Meanwhile, an upper level shortwave rides over
the top of the ridge while the high pressure retrogrades westward
into the Western Bering Sea by midweek. This allows the
aforementioned shortwave to drop down into the
Southwest/Southcentral Alaska region by Friday. The GFS model has
this shortwave becoming positively tilted with an upper level
closed low developing over the Seward Peninsula area by Sunday.
The ECMWF model positions this closed low over the Southcentral
region. Therefore, the forecast confidence is below average due to
the model discrepancies with placement of the aforementioned
synoptic feature.
