Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
533 AM AKST Thu Jan 26 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A large scale upper level arctic trough stretches from eastern
Russia across the Bering and Aleutians. To the east of the colder
air under a secondary lobe of the upper trough, a trio of surface
lows are located over Bristol Bay, south of the Alaska Peninsula
and in the western Gulf. A strong frontal system associated with
the eastern most low stretches across the northern Gulf this
morning bringing strong easterly barrier jet winds and moderate
to heavy rain to coastal regions. Further inland precipitation is
more scattered with a mix of rain, snow and some isolated freezing
rain depending on location. Over the eastern Bering, north to
northwesterly flow and a frontal system stretching across the
Pribilof Islands, eastern Aleutians and western Alaska Peninsula
is bringing areas of snow and blowing snow. Further west cold air
instability snow showers continue to stream across the area.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in good synoptic agreement through Friday morning and
then diverge significantly regarding a surface low tracking into
the southern Gulf Friday afternoon or evening. The EC and
Canadian were preferred as good compromise solutions, both
bringing in the cold upper trough from the west and hanging on to
some precipitation across southcentral while the GFS and NAM had
significantly stronger, better developed surface lows but varied
widely on its track north Friday night and Saturday. The EC was
preferred for the western domain.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Strong east-southeast winds across the Chugach Mountains
will continue to bring wind shear concerns through the morning.
Southeasterly Turnagain Arm winds will push into PANC around 21Z
as the strong northerly down Cook Inlet winds rapidly diminish
and in reverse direction. Expect the breezy southeasterly surface
winds to last through around 09Z Fri.

&&

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

While perpendicular flow is helping to limit precipitation across
the Anchorage Bowl and Kenai Peninsula, steep lapse rates at
mountain top are helping to support precipitation spillover. As a
result, patchy light freezing drizzle is occurring across the
Anchorage Bowl where downslope winds have not been strong enough
to warm temperatures above freezing. The main challenge this
morning remains the intensity of the wind gusts as the front
pushes towards the north Gulf Coast this morning. The strongest
winds are expected through Turnagain Arm and higher elevations
along the northern Kenai Peninsula as well as in Cordova. There
is less uncertainty in precipitation amounts across the Kenai
Peninsula and west Prince William Sound, and steady rainfall has
already occurred in Seward overnight. Even as the front dissipates
this afternoon, gusty winds are expected to persist across the
Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage Bowl.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
An upper level trough moving northward over the AK pen will bring
a mix of rain and snow to interior Bristol Bay today. Most of the
snowfall will likely occur as a wet snow to the north of
Dillingham as temperatures are already in the mid 30's, limiting
any accumulation to less than an inch or so. Further to the east
along the Alaskan/Aleutian ranges, precipitation should fall
mostly in the form of rain as temperatures are already much warmer
from strong cross-barrier flow. This trough will then spread
snowfall into the interior Kuskokwim Delta this afternoon and
evening. Most of the accumulating snow should fall generally to
the east of Bethel with up to an inch expected. The shortwave will
then lift north of the area by late this evening, however with the
main upper level trough remaining just off to the west. This will
allow for cloudy skies and show showers to continue with
temperatures falling back below freezing throughout the area on
Friday and into this weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...
A deformation band setting up on the western edge of the low
moving into the eastern Bering will bring snow showers, gusty
northwest winds, and blowing snow from the Pribilof Islands
southward into the eastern Aleutians today. Over the Pribilof
Islands, much cooler temperatures along with a deep snow pack
will produce visibilities less than one-half mile today in snow
and blowing snow. As a result a Winter Weather Advisory for
Blowing Snow was issued into this evening. There is a possibility
that this will need to be extended further through this evening
if the heaviest snow band becomes stationary over the Pribilofs,
however there is a large amount of uncertainty from the models in
exactly where this will setup. Confidence is much higher that
gusty northwesterly winds will continue into Friday morning, so
even if most of the snow shifts to the east of the Pribilofs (as
some guidance is suggesting) areas of blowing snow will likely
continue for much of the day tomorrow.

Afterwards, a broad upper level trough setting up over the Bering
on Friday will bring continued showers throughout the area, but
with winds falling below gale force as the surface low slowly
dissipates. A gale force front will then move into the western
Aleutians late Saturday, which will spread rain/snow and gale
force winds into the central Bering through Sunday.

&&

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

An active pattern ensues this weekend as new low centers form within
a broad longwave pattern centered over the Bering. Cold air
advection from the west moderates temperatures below freezing
across the southern mainland through the weekend. Multiple
shortwaves keeps the wetter pattern into the middle of next week.
Models are in general agreement with the highly active pattern,
however there are large differences in timing and placements of
the projected fronts. Models are starting to hone into a
significant pattern change for the beginning of next week that
could lead to a less active weather regime. This change would
start as a powerful storm system organizes in the North Pacific on
Monday, which then lifts north on Tuesday and becomes negatively
tilted. This potentially allows a ridge to it's east to amplify
over the Bering and possibly cut off near the Bering Strait
heading into the middle of next week.

...Icy Conditions Expected Through Friday As Temperatures Drop
Back Below Freezing...

After widespread rain and snow this afternoon, temperatures are
expected to fall below freezing tonight. This will likely cause
hazardous conditions across area roads and surfaces as temperatures
fall back below freezing.
