Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
441 AM AKST Mon Jan 9 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A ridge of high pressure continues to dominate the pattern. It is
centered over the Seward Peninsula and is keeping the weather
very quiet across much of AK. A weak frontal boundary remains
draped through the Central Aleutians, but even this feature is
producing very little in the way of active sensible weather. Under
the western half of the ridge, low stratus has formed and is
moving from southeast to northwest across the Eastern Aleutians
and the Pribilof Islands. Under the eastern half, weak offshore
flow and dry continental air is really helping to limit any fog
and stratus development this morning. The jet is broken into two
very distinct components. The Polar Jet rides over the ridge and
into the Northwest Territories at about 100 kts. The Subtropical
Jet (and primary storm track) remains well south of the state at
around 40N keeping much of the active weather for the west coast
of the CONUS.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models remain in outstanding agreement through the first half of
the week. This continues to result in high forecast confidence.
But as is almost always the case under a stable atmosphere in the
winter, fog and stratus can pop up at any time. The high
resolution models were used in forecasting when and where it will
form. However, forecast confidence remains low with these
features.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Low stratus and fog continue to lurk around the Knik Arm,
but so far, have not impacted the airport. The thinking is that
the atmosphere will continue to stabilize, winds will weaken, and
that with some mixing around sunrise, it will still develop this
morning. Forecast confidence is low in the timing and density of
the fog though. There should be better potential for fog/low
stratus tonight as the pattern remains favorable.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Surface pressure gradients will continue to slacken today as high
pressure moves over more of the Gulf. However, they will remain
tight enough for some gap flow winds to persist along Prince
William Sound and the North Gulf Coast. Otherwise, high pressure
will continue to produce dry conditions and mostly clear skies
across the region over the next couple days. With steep surface
based inversions in place, expect areas of fog to form,
particularly over northern Cook Inlet. There was a fog bank
sitting over Knik Arm yesterday, but based on area web cams it
appears to have at least partially dissipated. The 12Z Anchorage
sounding shows about 15 kts of wind at 900 feet, which could be
the primary reason it didn't develop into more widespread fog.
Northerly flow will weaken today, so still expect fog to form and
overspread the Anchorage area either sometime today or tonight.
Any fog that does form will likely hang around until at least
Wednesday when flow picks up ahead of a short-wave dropping down
from the Arctic.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A quiet pattern will remain locked in place over the southwest
mainland for the next several days as the strong blocking high
over Western Alaska maintains predominantly clear and cold
conditions across the region. This will make potential fog
development one of the primary forecast concerns through the
middle of the week beneath the stout temperature inversions in
place over much of the region. The limiting factors for fog
development will be continued weak offshore flow and a very dry
air mass, which will likely keep any fog from becoming too
widespread. Locations in the vicinity of Iliamna Lake are one of
the more favorable spots for localized development through
Wednesday morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The front over the Western Bering Sea will continue to gradually
weaken through today, bringing a chance for some additional rain
to the Central Aleutians before dissipating tonight. Otherwise,
quiet conditions will prevail across the region as the mainland
high remains the primary feature of interest, promoting light
winds and precipitation free conditions for much of the week.

&&

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

An upper level closed low over the Beaufort Sea begins to drop
down to the Brooks Range by Friday afternoon. The associated
trough becomes positively tilted and extends from Fort Yukon
southwest through the Southwest Alaska region into the eastern
Bering Sea. By Saturday evening the closed low will be located
over the western Alaska Range region with the trough extending
through the Aleutian Range into the Eastern Aleutians. Meanwhile,
at the surface, two weak lows develop in the northern Gulf and in
the Prince William Sound by Saturday. By Monday, the upper levels
depict the closed low transitioning into a broad trough over the
Southcentral region extending through the Gulf. This feature is
reflected at the surface as a 990 mb low in the northern Gulf by
Monday morning. The bulk of the precipitation will be along the northern
Gulf and coastal communities, with precipitation streaming into
the Copper River Basin by next weekend. Meanwhile, the Southwest
Alaska region remains dominated by offshore flow, and accompanied
by drier conditions with cooler temperatures with the northerly
flow. The forecast confidence has improved to average as the
models have come into better agreement
