Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
440 PM AKDT Sun May 14 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
An upper-level low was moving southeast along the northern Gulf of
Alaska this morning. At the surface, rain and low clouds were
wrapping around a surface low moving away from Prince William
Sound. Kodiak was enjoying the drier, sunnier side of the pattern
with only a handful of clouds on the FAA webcam.

In Southwest, the developing surface ridge was having trouble
fighting off all of the Bering Sea marine layer. Bethel, and
portions of the Kuskokwim Delta and Greater Bristol Bay were all
seeing areas of fog and stratus through midday.

Further west, the next Pacific surface low was tracking eastward
just south of the Western Aleutians as the upper-level trough and
associated lows were digging southward from the Bering Sea.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models initialized well and were in general agreement on strength
and position of significant features this morning. The GFS was
the model of choice for Southwest Alaska and the Bering Sea as it
seemed to have a better idea about the evolution of the incoming
weather and evolving triple-point feature from the North Pacific.
The NAM was the outlier in this case. For Southcentral, the NAM
was preferred for resolution purposes.

Challenges for Southwest and Bering will continue to focus on timing
and placement of marine stratus and any visibility restrictions.
In Southcentral, forecast challenges will focus on when precipitation
ends. Other concerns will be local wind effects and, once the sky
clears, the potential for convection in days that follow.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will prevail through Monday. Looking ahead,
Monday night and Tuesday morning will have potential for
strengthening Turnagain Arm gusts from the Southeast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The drying trend will continue over the Cook Inlet and Prince
William Sound regions through this evening, as the influence of
the upper level low over the gulf fades with further eastward
progression. Rainy and snowy (mainly in higher elevations)
conditions over the Copper River Basin will start to slowly dry
out late tonight into Monday morning. Upper level high pressure
will build into the area on Monday and Monday night. On Tuesday
morning, a front associated with a low pressure system south of
the Alaska Peninsula will move into Kodiak Island from the
southwest.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2...Mon and Tue)...
Marine stratus had a good run this morning making it as far inland
as Bethel and lasting until nearly 2pm. Shortwave ridging is now
taking control bringing a drying trend to the area and pushing the
stratus back offshore. Some isolated showers will continue through
the evening along the AK Range, but not anticipating another
thunderstorms at this time as heights rise. There is no reason to
think the marine stratus will not return to many of the same areas
Monday morning as the ridge axis moves overhead. But as a front
approaches from the Central Aleutians, increasing east to
southeast winds should help to mix any fog/stratus out by lunch
time. Most places will see a fair amount of sunshine Mon with
just some passing mid and high clouds.

But by Mon night into Tue, the front will works its way from the
Alaska Peninsula toward the Bristol Bay coast. This will continue
to kick up the southeast winds, especially through some of the
favored gaps in the Aleutian Range. Light rain should slowly move
inland through Tue, though it will favor windward slopes with
downsloping limiting precipitation for places like King Salmon
and Iliamna. The front will smack into a building coastal ridge
over southern AK. This will inhibit its inland progress keeping
the Kuskokwim Delta and Lower Valley mostly dry Tue.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2...Mon and
Tue)...
A broad trough over the Bering will continue to allow weak pieces
of energy to rotate counter-clockwise through the pattern. The
warm front that is bringing abundant clouds and rain to the
Central Aleutians will continue to move north towards the Pribilof
Islands tonight. It will be replaced by another triple point low
forming near Dutch Harbor on Tue. This will keep warm and wet
conditions in place from Adak eastward, with the heaviest
precipitation favoring the Pacific side. For the Western
Aleutians, small-craft level winds, cooler temperatures, and a
chance of showers can be expected in the western half of the
trough. A ridge will start to bring a drying trend as it builds
in late Tue into Wed.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7...Wed through Sun)...
Wednesday will mark a transition in the weather pattern for
southern Alaska as the ridge of high pressure over the Gulf breaks
down. This will allow broad cyclonic flow around an Aleutian Low
to expand east and encompass the southern Mainland. For
Southcentral, this means a return of moist onshore flow with
coastal showers through the end of the work week. The majority of
the precipitation will remain on the coastal side of the Chugach
and Kenai Mountains, with a precipitation shadow on the leeward
side of the mountains keeping Anchorage and the western Kenai
Peninsula cloudy but mainly dry. The exception to this will be
any diurnal showers that can organize as upper-level disturbances
rotate through the broad cyclonic flow.

Southwestern Alaska will see similar conditions as the area
remains entrenched in southeasterly flow. The coastal side of the
Aleutian Range and the windward side of the Kuskokwim Mountains
will see the majority of the showers, while downsloping will keep
the leeward side of the ranges mainly dry. Diurnal convective
showers will be possible through the end of the week. The Bering
and Aleutian Islands will see a continuation of cloudy conditions
and rain showers through the week.

As we move into the weekend, models begin to diverge quite
significantly in the longwave pattern. The GFS and the GEM build
a higher amplitude ridge than the EC over southeastern Alaska
and the western US coast Saturday through Sunday. The GFS and
GEM solutions would favor a drier pattern next weekend over
Southcentral Alaska, whereas the EC favors a continuation of the
showery conditions from the earlier work week. Due to this
uncertainty, an ensemble approach was used in the long term
forecast and forecast confidence drops starting Saturday.
