Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
457 AM AKST Fri Jan 20 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A very cold upper level low remains centered over northern Alaska
with an associated upper trough digging south over over western
Alaska and bringing additional cold air in behind the low pressure
system crossing Southwest Alaska. An associated frontal system
stretches south across the western Gulf. Cloud cover streaming ahead
of this system into the western half of Southcentral Alaska has
started modifying and gradually warming the very cold air mass in
place over that area. Light snow from a weak prefrontal wave
pushing up Cook Inlet is visible on radar early this morning. Snow
showers continue to stream across the Bering and Aleutians
through the prevailing cold northwesterly flow along the west side
of the Arctic trough.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in excellent agreement regarding the North Pacific low
which will push a strong frontal system across the Aleutians and
Alaska Peninsula this weekend. The weaker frontal wave spreading
from the western Gulf across Southcentral Alaska this afternoon
and evening, however, presents larger forecast challenges with
model uncertainty remaining high regarding its timing, strength,
duration and location where it may stall and how much snow it will
produce.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...After a brief period of light snow this morning VFR conditions
will prevail through the afternoon as southeasterly winds over the
Chugach Mountains downslope and dry the area. By late afternoon
or early evening a band of snow will push in from the west
dropping conditions to MVFR through late tonight or Saturday
morning. Uncertainty exists regarding the strength and duration of
this snow band with some potential for it to drop conditions to
IFR at times.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
While snow remains likely across much of coastal Southcentral
today, there still remains a good amount of uncertainty due to the
complex nature of this event and poor model performance so far.
For example, models did not capture until early this morning that
a weak wave would bring snow to the western Kenai Peninsula ahead
of the front. In addition, models vary greatly on the timing of
the front that will result in more widespread snow later this
afternoon and evening. Currently the middle ground NAM was chosen.
Associated lower pressure in Cook Inlet may also partly limit snow
amounts locally in the Anchorage Bowl as it supports southeasterly
downslope flow at the start of the event. Finally, the associated
low level southwesterly Cook Inlet jet will be fairly weak during
the duration of the snowfall, so local upslope flow and
convergence bands will play less of a role than in previous
events. As a result, most of the forcing for this snow event will
be synoptic in nature. However, two important factors favor a
greater snow event. The pre-frontal wave is already moistening the
atmosphere ahead of the front, and cold air in place may favor the
dendritic sweet spot, resulting in greater snow to liquid QPF
ratios and higher snow amounts.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Blizzard conditions across the Kuskokwim Delta have subsided this
morning as snowfall has come to an end and winds have begun to
diminish in intensity. That being said, reduced visibilities along
the Kuskokwim Delta coast will be common through the morning hours
as snow from Thursday gets re-suspended. Visibilities will likely
remain above one mile for these locations so no additional
warnings or advisories are anticipated at this time. Light snow
will continue through this afternoon over the Lower Kuskokwim
Valley and eastern parts of the Bristol Bay area as a weakening
low pressure system moves further inland over Southwest Alaska.
Following the departure of snow today, a return of well below
normal temperatures will follow as another very cold air mass
descends across western Alaska from Siberia. Temperatures will
easily range 20 to 30 degrees below normal with parts of the Lower
Kuskokwim Valley approaching minus 40 degrees Saturday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The Bering Sea remains under the influence of a deep arctic
trough that continues to advect cold air southward. As a result,
cold air advection showers have developed across the central
Bering Sea as decent low-level instability has developed due to
extreme low- level lapse rates. This trough will slide very slowly
eastward through Saturday which will allow shower activity to
gradually diminish as the atmosphere begins to stabilize and an
upper level ridge briefly becomes the dominant feature.

Later today, an area of low pressure will push off the coast of
Japan and begin moving northeastward toward the Western Aleutians.
As this happens, the low will develop at a rapid pace and move
just south of Adak Sunday morning. A potent storm force frontal
boundary will enter the southern Bering Sea late Saturday and
Sunday but will likely stay just to the south of the Pribilof
Islands. Models have been very inconsistent with this feature but
as satellites begin to sample the low as it develops this
afternoon they should be able to provide better information on
the overall storm track. While the front moving across the
southern Bering Sea will be a warm front, enough cold air will be
entrenched across the Bering and wrap around the low that
hurricane force wind gusts may be possible on Sunday. At this
time, wind gusts are expected in the 60 to 70 mph range across all
of the Aleutian Islands on Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Beginning the extended period on Saturday evening, there will be
an arctic trough over Southwest Alaska and a storm force North
Pacific low moving into the Western Aleutians. Eventually the
North Pacific low will quickly traverse the chain and move into
the Gulf of Alaska. This will represent a rather large change in
the pattern to warmer and cloudier as the very cold arctic air
mass is displaced north. All the global numerical models depict a
similar pattern with a general trough position located over the
Eastern Bering by early next week. Shortwave troughs rotating
north toward the Gulf coast will bring a pretty continuous feed of
moisture and warmer air northward with the threat for coastal
rain/snow and potentially heavy snow for favored mountain
locations which do well in south to southeast flow environments
(Turnagain Pass, for instance). Inland locations will tend to see
stronger downslope flow conditions but will still be prone to
shots of precipitation as the lows move inland. This very active
pattern looks to continue into the weekend.
