Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
454 AM AKDT Wed Nov 1 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Water vapor satellite looks much less messy today as ridging
builds over the state. High pressure aloft is the main synoptic
feature, centered over the western coast of Alaska. The
responsible longwave trough is centered just east of the
Kamchatka Peninsula, with a weak front stretched across the
western/central Bering Sea.

A weak outflow pattern is setup across the southern mainland with
light offshore flow in most places, except for favored gaps along
the north Gulf coast. As far as active weather is concerned, fog
and stratus is about it, with a bank of low clouds/fog along the
Chugach from the Matanuska Valley through the Kenai Peninsula as
well as along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Guidance still struggling on how to handle the low-level
moisture(fog/stratus) in place over the Cook Inlet region.
Persistence/observations and conceptual models will play a much
larger role in the forecast today/tonight as opposed to numerical
guidance.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...The low stratus did not get mixed out with the dry air
aloft today, making it able to build again early this morning. The
uncertainty in the TAF still revolves around this feature. Likely
there will be some improvement in ceilings/visibility through the
day today but the deck will not completely dissipate, and
lower/thicken overnight tonight.

&&

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

Upper ridging is building in over Southcentral this morning.
Northerly flow and weak cold air advection over the Copper Basin
is still supporting a marginal outflow gap wind event along the
coast. However, the pressure gradient is much weaker farther west
near Cook Inlet, and as a result, fog and stratus continues to be
an issue from the Kenai Peninsula north through Anchorage and the
Matanuska Valley. Polar orbiting nighttime radiance satellite
imagery depicts the low stratus and fog well, with fog also
stretching into valleys and fjords (including Turnagain Arm). With
warming temperatures aloft and continued strong low level
inversions, it seems unlikely that the fog and stratus improve
much today, so the dense fog advisories will be continued through
Thursday morning. Thursday evening and Thursday night, a shortwave
trough will clip the northern part of Southcentral, bringing in
increasing low level offshore winds which should help improve the
fog situation.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
Dry weather with low coastal stratus and valley fog forming
overnight but burning off by each afternoon will continue through
Thursday as an upper level high remains centered south of the
Alaska Peninsula. By Thursday evening, a weak frontal system in
the Bering will push over the Kuskokwim Delta bringing clouds and
some light precipitation with it. As the stronger portion of the
supporting upper level shortwave trough continues east into
interior Alaska the front will stretch east over the lower
Kuskokwim Valley Thursday night before dissipating Friday morning
as the ridge axis re-amplifies over Southwest Alaska.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
The frontal system stretching across the central Bering will
continue to weaken through the day today. Another frontal wave
will lift north across the central Aleutians this afternoon and
then continue northeast across the central and eastern Bering
tonight through Thursday. A front associated with a Kamchatka low
will swing into the western Aleutians Friday afternoon and
evening. High pressure will build across the Bering Friday night
through Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7: Thursday through Monday)...

Northwesterly offshore flow will increase Thursday night over
Southcentral Alaska. As colder air pushes into the Interior and a
trough deepens along the northern Gulf Coast, expect gusty gap
winds to peak Friday morning/afternoon and subside Friday night.
Zonal flow Saturday will quickly amplify as a sharp ridge builds
over the Bering Sea by Saturday night. Downstream of the ridge,
shortwave energy will dig southeastward from northwest Alaska
south to the northern Gulf Coast. A surface cold front co-located
with the upper-wave will push south Saturday night, bringing in a
rush of much colder air to Southcentral. This will kick off a
drying and cooling trend that will last through early next week as
deep northerly flow prevails. A chance for some precipitation over
Southcentral exists with the frontal passage Saturday night,
however moisture will be limited amid the northerly flow, and for
now the setup looks fairly weak.

Further west, a weakening front stretching from the western
Aleutians through the Kuskokwim Coast Thursday will continue to
bring rain showers to the area. A weak surface low will develop
along the front over the central Bering Thursday night and track
northeastward to the Bering Strait by Friday afternoon. This will
bring more precipitation to the northern Kuskokwim Coast Friday
before the region dries out by Saturday. A front over the North
Pacific will push north to the Aleutian Islands Friday evening,
setting up a rainy weekend for the Islands and southern Alaska
Peninsula. The front will fall apart by Sunday evening as a much
stronger front associated with a Kamchatka low approaches from the
west.
