Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
354 PM AKDT Sat Sep 9 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

An upper level low continues to weaken and drift in the Gulf of
Alaska, but it is providing just enough instability and moisture
for occasional showers across Southcentral. Showers are a bit
more organized across Prince William Sound as a weak upper level
wave progresses from the east to west. Meanwhile a potent upper
level ridge is maintaining a broad swath of stratus across the
Bering. A low pressure system is drifting into the Bering just to
the southwest of Shemya.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models remain in excellent agreement in the short term, and as a
result the high resolution NAM-Nest was favored. Models disagree
slightly on shower coverage this evening and tomorrow, but
generally should be tied to steep terrain.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

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

It's almost as quiet as the weather gets in Southcentral over the
next couple days. A weak low meandering across the Gulf south of
Prince William Sound is producing shower activity across much of
the eastern Sound. The rain is pushing westward, but because the
parent low is nearly stationary, it should be difficult for those
showers to get much further than the western side of the Sound.

Elsewhere across Southcentral, the extensive broken cloud cover is
expected to persist through the day Sunday as well. Where there
are breaks in the cloud cover, convective showers will fill in
during both the rest of this afternoon and again Sunday afternoon.
Most of this activity should be confined to the mountains, though
anywhere where there are persistent patches of clear sky during
the morning and early afternoon stand a decent chance of getting
some showers during the later afternoon.

By Monday, upper level shortwave ridging will move into
Southcentral from the west, drying and stabilizing the atmosphere
and allowing for a better chance of seeing some sun, especially
from Anchorage south. It will be brief, however, as the next area
of rain moves in for Tuesday through midweek.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Shower activity should begin to diminish from west to east this
evening as the upper trough that had been over the area moves into
the Gulf, allowing a ridge of high pressure to replace it. There
is an outside chance of a few lightning strikes along the Alaska
Range this evening as weak instability has moved into the area,
however with broken cloudcover throughout the day confidence is
quite low and was left out of the forecast. There also is a
possibility of fog development in the lower elevations of Bristol
Bay late tonight with showers moving through the area followed by
weak onshore flow overnight. This onshore flow looks fairly brief
however so the fog will likely not be as dense as what occurred
around King Salmon this morning. Otherwise most areas should
fairly quiet weather for the rest of the day Sunday and most of
Monday as weak high pressure pushes through. The next system will
then begin to impact the Kuskokwim Delta on Monday evening with
rain that will spread throughout the Southwest Mainland for
Tuesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
With the exception of a shortwave that will bring rain and gusty
northwest winds to the AK pen this evening, much of the focus over
the region will begin to shift towards the gale force low
approaching the Western Aleutians. There remains very good
confidence in the timing/intensity of this low through Sunday,
which is expected to bring rain and gale force winds to the
Western Bering/Aleutians before spreading into the rest of the
Bering as it weakens below gale force for Monday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The longwave pattern will become a bit more progressive as we head
into next week. The persistent upper level longwave trough
centered over of mainland Alaska will finally move off to the
east as a shortwave ridge builds in over central and eastern
portions of the state. The ridge will quickly be replaced by a
stout longwave trough with an associated surface low over the
west/central Bering Sea by the middle of next week. This will
usher in another round of precipitation to the state with rain
spreading from the west coast to southcentral Tuesday into
Wednesday. Rain looks to persist along the Northern Gulf Coast
through Thursday before a shortwave ridge moves in over
southcentral ahead of the next system forming in the Bering.

Long range models are in surprisingly good agreement regarding the
formation of a potentially strong low pressure system in the
Bering Sea by the end of next week. A 150 kt jet streak south of
the Aleutians will support a low pressure system that will move
northeast into the Bering. At the same time a weaker low will drop
south from the Arctic and merge with the main low. This will lead
to rapid intensification of the main low center, possibly strengthening
to storm force and moving across the central Aleutians by next
weekend.
