Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
402 PM AKDT Tue Apr 11 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Satellite imagery shows a large deep low (with central pressure in
the 970s) lifting slowly northward across the far western Aleutians.
A gale force frontal system is spreading far out from the low center
and across the Bering Sea. The eastward progression of the front
is slowing as a high amplitude builds downstream over the eastern
Bering Sea and into western Alaska. A weak upper level trough and
low continue over the Gulf of Alaska, although there is very
little sensible weather, with just a few clouds and showers. Most
of Southcentral and Southwest Alaska are looking up at sunny skies.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Model guidance remains in excellent agreement with large scale
features over the next couple days and forecast confidence is
high.

&&

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

&&

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

Sunny days and clear nights can be expected through Sat as high
pressure builds over interior AK. A pressure gradient will exist
between the interior high and a trough of low pressure along the
north Gulf coast. This will allow some gusty winds to develop
through channeled terrain along the coast. The warming trend will
resume, with valley temperature reaching the upper 40s to upper
50s during the afternoon, with lows in the 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Upper level ridging will build across Southwest Alaska tonight
through Wednesday keeping the frontal system in the eastern Bering
offshore. While clouds will impact the coastal areas, light
precipitation should only extend as far east as Nunivak Island and
the western tip of the Alaska Peninsula. The upper level ridge
will persist inland through Thursday as the frontal system
weakens and dissipates along the coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The frontal system associated with the vertically stacked low in
the western Aleutians will continue to gradually weakening as it
tracks slowly east over the Pribilof Islands and eastern Aleutians
this afternoon and evening. As the supporting upper level low
tracks northeast into the Bering tonight through Wednesday, the
front will stall over the eastern Bering, pinned up against the
blocking upper ridge over mainland Alaska. The next frontal system
will push into the western Aleutians Wednesday Night and Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
There are several areas of disagreement moving into the mid and
long term. The first concerns a front moving through the Bering
and towards southwest Alaska Friday night into Saturday. All
guidance seems to be stalling this front more than yesterday's
runs but the GEM and GFS still have it making landfall. However,
the EC stalls it over the eastern Bering without it making it to
the west coast.

The second area of concern comes Saturday night into Sunday with
a trough tracking south through the central mainland. The GEM has
followed the EC solution which is showing the trough stalling
over the central mainland and elongating from east to west, while
the GFS keeps pushing the trough south through Southcentral
Alaska. One of the major impact differences between these two
solutions is that if the GFS verifies it will pull down much more
cold air to Southcentral Alaska, while the GEM and EC would keep
the colder air north of the Alaska Range.
