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

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
There is a large upper level blocking high (Omega block) over
Alaska and the eastern Bering Sea. Weak offshore flow persists at
the surface. There is an upper level trough over the far western
Bering Sea. An associated front stretching north from just west of
Adak is dissipating. There are a few areas of fog, over Cook inlet
(mainly the Knik arm), near the larger lakes to the northwest of
the Aleutian Range, and probably over the eastern Bering.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The numerical models continue to be in excellent agreement.
Therefore the forecast confidence is generally higher than
normal. The exception is fog formation, which the models tend to
struggle with.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Conditions are favorable for fog formation over the inlet.
LIFR conditions are expected to move into the airport this evening
and to persist into the early afternoon on Tuesday.

&&

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

High pressure will remain over the mainland through Thu with a
trough of low pressure over the northern Gulf. Outflow winds
continue to diminish, but they will be enhanced at times as
impulses move through the region. Skies will remain generally
clear, with persistent below normal temperatures.

&&

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

Very quiet weather will persist through Wednesday as a ridge of
high pressure remains over the region. Expect cold temperatures to
continue as strong overnight inversions remain in place with the
relatively weak winds. Patchy fog will be possible with the
slackening winds, but no significant widespread fog will develop
given the dry air mass and lack of onshore flow.

&&

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

The Bering Sea will about as quiet as it gets for mid-winter as
strong high pressure remains over the region. Showers will remain
over the Western and Central Bering Sea/Aleutians while some
patchy fog will be possible under the high pressure center from
the Pribilofs east. Winds will remain below gale force through
Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Starting late Wednesday a potential pattern change will begin as
a very cold arctic trough begins to descend through the mainland,
forcing the blocking high well to the south. This will bring much
colder temperatures to the mainland, most notably along higher
elevations that currently are much warmer above the inversion.
Due to the very dry low levels, there initially will not be any
snowfall from this trough. Chances for snow will begin to increase
as it digs through the Southwest Mainland into the Bering late
this week. The big question that is impacting forecast confidence
the most is determining where the upper-level and the resulting
surface trough will develop in the gulf late Fri-Sat. Prior runs
all brought a surface trough to the North Gulf Coast, producing a
potential snow event to the North Gulf and possibly Southcentral
this weekend. Since then the 12z EC has shifted this trough far
enough east of the area to keep Southcentral dry with only a
glancing blow to the North Gulf Coast where precipitation chances
are the greatest. As a result there is very low confidence in the
snow forecast for Southcentral and Gulf Coast this weekend that
will need to be further fine-tuned with better model agreement.

Further to the west, forecast confidence over the Southwest
Mainland and Bering Sea is much better into this weekend with very
good agreement in strong cold air advection and northerly flow
throughout the area. This will bring widespread showers and gusty
northerly winds throughout the Bering Sea and Aleutians beginning
on Friday through the weekend. The Southwest Mainland will
be generally cloudy and cold as the upper level trough sets up
overhead with light winds.
