Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 450 PM AKDT Thu Oct 5 2017 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A storm force low near the Kuskokwim Delta coast and its leading front are the dominate features. Weak cold advection and the proximity of the occluded wrap on the southern periphery of the low produced storm force winds across the central and eastern Bering Sea. Saint Paul airport reported gusts to 65 kt (75 mph). The trailing front extends southeast across the western mainland to a rapidly eastward moving low south of the Kenai Pen. Rain associated with these features was evident across much of Southcentral. Conditions were a little more showery out west. Gales were evident across the Gulf waters. Gap flows across Southcentral were in the process of reversing as the low moved east across the northern Gulf. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models are in great agreement with the current storm and its associated frontal trough. However, models diverge on the next developing low heading toward the AK Pen Friday and Saturday. Model tracks are similar, however timing is an issue. This is reasonable considering the strength of the upper jet. The ECMWF is the fastest with the GFS the slowest. The NAM seemed like a good middle ground and was used in part for the afternoon package. && .AVIATION... Gusty southeast winds will be ending tonight. Conditions should be generally VFR, although on the low side through tonight. There is a possibility that light winds and any clearing overnight could further drop the ceiling and or visibilities but this does not look overly likely. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... The low circulation is well depicted on the Middleton Island radar. More rain is across southcentral tonight with the heftiest accumulations expected from Whittier to Cordova. The shortwave trough will push from the Gulf of Alaska northeastward and inland overnight. A secondary low will cross from Southwest Alaska tonight and across Cook Inlet Friday morning. Troughing coupled with a tight pressure gradient along the northern Gulf Coast will result in gusty offshore flow and gap winds. The precipitation shield from the next frontal system will push into Kodiak Island Saturday evening with moist advection heading northeastward as the weekend unfolds. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A strong Bering low has moved into Southwest Alaska this afternoon. The center of the low is near Bethel, and will continue to move inland and weaken overnight as the center struggles first to cross the Kuskokwim Mountains in the next few hours, and then the Alaska Range later on tonight. Despite the weakening, winds and storm surge are ongoing across much of the coast from Goodnews Bay northward through Kipnuk. This includes Kuskokwim Bay, where flooding has been reported already with the storm. The winds and surge will gradually abate overnight. The next low tracking from the north Pacific northward along the Alaska Peninsula will begin spreading rain through Bristol Bay Saturday afternoon and spread north along the Alaska Range through the overnight hours. Cooler air on the northwestern edge of the low may be just cold enough Sunday morning for a light snow or rain/snow mix over inland areas of the Lower Kuskokwim Valley and interior Bristol Bay, but warm ground temperatures and the fast movement of the low should preclude accumulations from getting much above an inch. However, the model spread with this storm is still large, so there is a chance more could be seen. Stay tuned. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... Conditions across the eastern Bering are gradually improving this afternoon as the strong low moves further inland into mainland Alaska. The strong winds will continue to gale force overnight through the eastern Bering, and continue to diminish during the day Friday. The next north Pacific low will begin to impact the central Aleutians late Friday afternoon and quickly move through the eastern Aleutians by Saturday afternoon, intensifying as it does so. Thus, another round of gales through Bristol Bay and the waters on both sides of the Alaska Peninsula is expected during the day Saturday. Elsewhere, a weak low will traverse the northern Bering Friday through Saturday morning, but nothing impactful is expected from it. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The mid and long term forecast starts off with the low near the Alaska Peninsula Saturday evening continuing its track towards the northern Gulf of Alaska. It looks to bring rain and winds to much of southern Alaska through Sunday. Out west, a front will track across the Bering Sunday and Monday, eventually bringing more rain to southwest Alaska. On Tuesday, the models really start to struggle with a low heading towards the western Bering. Between the different deterministic solutions and ensembles there is a wide range of outputs for both placement and intensity of this low. Additionally they are struggling with how strong to build in the ridge ahead of this system. Because of the inconsistent guidance, the ensembles were preferred for much of next week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...Coastal Flood Advisory 155 161.
