Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
427 PM AKDT Wed Apr 12 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A very high amplitude upper level pattern is in place with a trough
over the western Bering, a ridge moving onshore across western
Alaska and an exiting trough over the Gulf of Alaska. A large low
just north of the Western Aleutians is rapidly filling while its
associated north-south oriented front elongates and weakens over
the eastern Bering Sea. A band of small craft to gale force winds
along with steady rain continues along and ahead of the front
with some rain and snow showers focused around the low center.
Otherwise, the strong upper ridge is providing for sunny skies
across most of Southwest and Southcentral Alaska. As the ridge
builds eastward offshore flow and surface pressure gradients are
strengthening over Southcentral and the Gulf leading to localized
gap winds along the coast.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Model guidance remains in excellent agreement 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 will persist through Sat beneath high
pressure. Gusty outflow winds through channeled terrain will
weaken on Thu as the pressure gradient between a trough in the
Gulf and interior high pressure diminishes. A trough moving south
near the Alcan on Thu may bring a few clouds and snow showers to
the Alaska Range north of the Wrangell mountains. Otherwise
warming continues across the region, with valley temperatures
reaching into the 50s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 20s.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Upper level ridging will persist over mainland Alaska keeping
frontal systems offshore through the end of the week. While
clouds will continue to impact the coastal areas along the
Kuskokwim Delta and Alaska Peninsula at times, further east and
inland will remain warm, sunny and dry.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The front in the eastern Bering will continue to weaken tonight
and then dissipate Thursday as its parent upper low weakens to a
trough and lifts northeast shearing the front apart against the
large mainland ridge. The next incoming frontal system will swing
through the western Aleutians Thursday morning and continue
northeast across the Bering. This next front will reach the
central Aleutians Thursday afternoon and evening, the eastern
Aleutians Friday and then stall over the eastern Bering and
western Alaska Peninsula as it weakens Friday night and Saturday.
An upper level low following this front will swing into the
western Aleutians Friday, increasing shower activity and bringing
increasing west to southwesterly winds.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The biggest question mark moving through the weekend is with a
trough that is tracking south through mainland Alaska. Previous
model runs had a split decision on what to do with this feature.
The EC and GEM stalled it over the central part of the state
keeping the coldest air north of the Alaska Range. The GFS pushed
the trough through Southcentral Alaska bringing down the colder
air. Today there is some agreement that the trough will elongate
over the central part of the state and some of the energy will
break off and move west. The biggest differences are what will happen
with the easterly portion. The GEM stalls it out while the GFS
and EC push a weaker wave through Southcentral Alaska.
