Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
500 AM AKDT Tue Aug 29 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A shift to a more active pattern is well underway across
Southcentral Alaska this morning as satellite imagery reveals a
strong North Pacific low tracking north towards Kodiak Island. An
associated front is beginning to push inland along the Gulf coast
accompanied by strong gale to storm force winds over the coastal
waters and heavy rain from Prince William Sound to Kodiak Island.
Lighter rain is also spreading inland across the coastal mountain
ranges aided by favorable dynamic support which is helping to
offset increasing cross-barrier flow. Meanwhile, the Bering Sea
remains much quieter in benign northeast flow between the Gulf low
and high pressure over eastern Russia. A weak disturbance sliding
eastward along the Aleutian chain is bringing some rain to Adak
and Atka as it departs into the North Pacific.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models have come into much better agreement for Tuesday and beyond
in the past 24 hours, with guidance converging on a solution that
takes the low over Kodiak Island this evening and then keeps it
quasi-stationary through much of the day on Wednesday. The low
then looks to move up into the Cook Inlet region on Thursday as
the upper trough lifts slowly northward, keeping rain in the
forecast for much of the southern mainland and particularly the
Gulf Coast through the end of the work week.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Light rain at the terminal will become more showery in
nature this morning as downsloping begins to play a larger role.
VFR conditions are expected to persist through Wednesday morning.

&&

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

The large low from the North Pacific is slowing up as it heads
northwestward and approaches Kodiak Island. The main weather
front moved through most of Southcentral Alaska overnight with the
secondary occlusion now in the Gulf of Alaska and moving toward
Southcentral. This weather pattern will bring some periods of
heavy rain to the north Gulf coast with the Prince William Sound
area seeing the highest amounts. There is still no flooding
expected with this system.

The rain challenge today through tomorrow night is whether or not
there will be enough downslope on the lee side of the mountains
to keep the rain confined to the windward side and over the
mountains. At this time the deep moisture level looks to be enough
to only reduce the rain over the western Kenai Peninsula, however
from Anchorage northward there is a better chance for the rain to
taper off completely after this morning. On Thursday the upper
level low will lift northward into the Susitna Valley which will
increase the chance of rainfall over the entire region again.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The rain that has spread into Bristol Bay will be a sign of things
to come over the next few days as an upper level trough continues
to slowly spin over Kodiak Island. This rain should become more
widespread as a shortwave rotates around the upper low this
afternoon, bringing rain further north into the Kuskokwim Valley.
There remains however good agreement that this rain will not
spread into further west into the Delta, and instead bring
generally cloudy skies with gusty northerly winds today. Starting
late tonight a deep layer of cold air associated with an arctic
trough moving down the west coast will bring continued gusty north
winds with overnight lows falling into the 30s to the Kuskokwim
Delta that will persist through Thursday. There remains
reasonable agreement that this cold air will fail to reach much
further inland as the arctic trough begins to absorb the Kodiak
low, and instead will provide a reinforcing shot to the rain,
keeping it in the forecast over Bristol Bay and the Kuskokwim
Valley into Friday.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
Widespread northerly flow will develop throughout much of the
Bering today, bringing clearing skies to most areas through
Thursday. One exception to this will be along the AK pen, in
particular along the Bering coast where northerly upslope winds
and a shortwave moving overhead will bring rain to the area
through this evening. Cold air moving through the Bering Strait on
Wednesday will allow for northerly winds to increase to gale
force over the Eastern Bering/Bristol Bay where they will persist
into Thursday. A chance of rain will then returns to the Central
Bering on Thursday as the remnants of a frontal band moves
through.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
At the onset of the forecast period there is a vortex over
western Alaska with a secondary low over Kodiak and a negatively
tilted trough extending from SE AK to Prince William Sound.
As time elapses, expect the plume of Pacific moisture to continue
into south central Alaska with precipitation lingering into the
weekend over the Anchorage Metro area with Whittier getting
consistently pummeled into the weekend. As the next low descends
southward difluent southwest flow will set up over the Cook Inlet
which also indicates a wet weekend.

Looking west, there is a ridge axis in the vicinity of the Western
Aleutians. The next feature to watch will be a low spinning up
and tracking in from the west along the Aleutians in the Friday or
Saturday time period.
