Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
421 PM AKST Sun Jan 1 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A blocking high remains the dominant weather feature over the
state this morning, with an upper level low over the Bering Sea
that just can't seem to make any eastward progress. The high is
well reflected at the surface and sea level pressures in the area
reached 1040 hPa at several locations yesterday, which spells
mostly good weather for the east. The one challenge has been and
will continue to be fog, with last nights satellite imagery
showing a few areas popping up along the Kenai mountains and
across Knik arm and into Palmer. Webcams and satellite show this
morning that these fog areas have drifted slightly, but they have
not dissipated yet, nor are expected to throughout today.

West of the Alaska range, most of the weather makers for the
Anchorage Forecast Area are lingering in the Bering Sea and along
the West Coast. A weakening front that moved onshore yesterday
continues to bring some rain and snow to the Kuskokwim Delta, but
gusty winds are more consistent with the tightened gradient
between the remnants of the front and the strong high. Further
west, along the Aleutians, a new low pressure system has developed
in the base of the trough and brought snow and freezing fog to the
Western Aleutians overnight.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models were in good agreement today on the overall patterns.
Challenges remain regarding the lower level winds in the west,
and fog and temperatures in the east. GFS was used for winds in
the west, but in the east, the higher resolution models are
picking up the weaker gap winds in the channeled terrain better.
Models are not handling temperatures well with clearing skies
strengthening the surface inversion, so these had to be adjusted
by hand.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Fog looks like it will be a continuing forecast challenge
for the next several days. Pireps and webcams around town
indicate that there is fog forming over the inlet, both in Knik
Arm and Turnagain Arm. With light surface winds, whether this
will move over PANC or not is very difficult to determine. As of
4pm this afternoon fog is beginning to spread across the Anchorage
bowl, and where it is foggy it is quite dense. A dense fog
advisory is in effect through midday tomorrow, though the most
likely scenario is that these areas of dense fog will move around
continually, rather than being a single blanket of fog that
spreads over the whole area.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A very strong upper ridge will remain nearly stationary the next
couple days right over top of Southcentral and the Gulf of Alaska.
The 00Z Anchorage sounding shows a very steep surface-based
inversion, with temperatures in the teens at the surface increasing
to around 41 degrees at 1700 feet above the surface. This is
representative of much of Southcentral and these inversions will
hold steady or steepen underneath the persistent ridge.

This has created ideal conditions for fog, especially over
northern Cook Inlet where there is a source of moisture and where
winds are very light at and near the surface. Have issued a dense
fog advisory for Anchorage through mid-day Monday, though it could
certainly hang on longer. With such weak flow the fog tends to
wander around, so it is nearly impossible to say exactly where the
worst conditions will be very far out in time. Fog will likely
also affect portions of the Western Kenai Peninsula and the
Matanuska Valley. With no moisture source over inland areas of the
Susitna Valley and Copper River Basin do not expect much fog
initially, though the longer the ridge remains in place the more
likely it is that some patchy fog develops.

Meanwhile, a lee side trough along the north Gulf coast will
strengthen Monday and Monday night as the surface high over the
Gulf shifts westward and low level veers from west to northwest
across the Prince William Sound region. This will lead to
strengthening gap winds along the coast along with warmer
temperatures.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
The front across the Kuskokwim Delta and eastern Bering stalls
through Tuesday as the ridge over the Gulf blocks any progression.
Rain and snow can be expected across the Delta with little or no
snow accumulation. Only scattered showers are expected to make it
into the the Bristol Bay area east and north of Dillingham. An
upper wave is expected to pull moisture across the Kuskokwim
Valley on Tuesday as it tracks toward the Central Interior.
Southerly winds slacken tonight which should allow for patchy fog
to develop along the coastal areas. Fog may become dense along
coastal Kuskokwim Delta on Tuesday as cooler air at the surface
advects in from the Bering while the warmer jet continues aloft.

&&

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

The front across the eastern Bering and Aleutians will bring
ongoing rain with snow mixed along the western edge of the
boundary. Snow showers are possible across the Pribilof Islands
this evening as a shortwave moves across from the western waters.
The frontal boundary is expected to be forced further east along
the wave bringing dryer conditions to the Pribilofs on Monday and
Tuesday as a new ridge builds in from the North Pacific.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

By Tuesday evening the large upper level ridge centered over the
Gulf of Alaska will tilt east so that its axis extends over
southern Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. A short
wave trough riding up over the ridge and further flattening it
will swing from Southwest Alaska Tuesday evening up along the
Alaska range Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. All the
precipitation associated with this system looks like it will stay
west and north of the Alaska Range but the cold air and surface
ridge building over interior Alaska behind it will begin gradually
increasing north to northwesterly winds. Additionally, an inverted
trough will develop in the northern Gulf Wednesday and Wednesday
night strengthening coastal gap winds.

A sharper upper level trough will track onshore across the
Kuskokwim Delta Wednesday afternoon and then continue east-
southeast across Southcentral Alaska Wednesday night and into the
Gulf Thursday morning while an upper level ridge amplifies rapidly
over the Bering. Behind this trough, north to northwesterly winds will
pick up more substantially and continue to build across
Southcentral Alaska as several additional shortwaves track
through the increasingly northerly upper level flow Thursday
afternoon through Thursday night. While strong outflow winds out
of the typical outflow gaps such as Passage Canal, Resurrection
Bay, Thompson Pass and the Valdez area look likely...we will need
to keep a close eye on the pattern for the possibility of more
widespread strong northerly winds through the Susitna Valley and
Anchorage area depending how far to the west upper level ridge sets
up.

The strong blocking pattern will continue into the weekend with
the large upper level ridge centered over the eastern Bering and
Western Alaska. While this ridge will keep much of the forecast
area dry, low pressure systems tracking north up the west side of
the ridge will continue to periodically lift through the western
Aleutians.
