Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
403 PM AKST Sat Jan 28 2017

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The large low that was in the northern Gulf of Alaska has moved on
shore near Yakutat and continues to move northward. This low is
the source of the snow that has been in Prince William Sound and
from Anchorage northward to the Alaska Range.
Cold air advection up Cook Inlet is expected to keep some snow in
the Mat-SU Valleys and Anchorage Bowl into the evening.
A fairly strong upper level wave is moving across the Eastern
Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula today and bringing convective snow
showers to the region. This wave is tracking northeastward and
toward the Gulf of Alaska.
Farther west there is a low in the western Bering sea moving
eastward which will become a significant weather maker for the
Bering Sea region and Southwest mainland Alaska for the early part
of next week.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models seem to have a handle on the synoptic situation and are
consistent with the overall pattern into the middle of next week.
They are experiencing some differences with a wave moving along
the Eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula and the development of
a low currently west of Attu. The wave moving up the Alaska
Peninsula will move northeast over the next day with the higher
resolution Canadian and NAM models bringing it up Cook Inlet which
will kick off some snow showers around the Cook Inlet region
tomorrow. The GFS and ECMWF both move this wave farther eastward
pushing the heavier snow showers into Prince William Sound. The
other issue is with the low in the far western Bering Sea. The
real challenge with this system is that there will likely be
around three separate centers in the complex system and the ECMWF,
NAM and Canadian are trying to resolve the interactions of these
centers which make the low a bit of an amorphous mess. The GFS
decided to consolidate the energy into a single center which is
probably a good average position of the complex low, but a poor
reflection of the way this low will actually behave.

.AVIATION...
PANC...Snow will continue to taper off early this evening and
that should improve the ceilings and visibilities around PANC. The
one lingering question is whether there will be any fog that
develops after the snow stops. While this remains a possibility,
the southerly winds are expected to keep the atmosphere mixed
enough to keep it from developing.

&&

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

A negative tilt arctic trough will move east tonight. The
associated deformation band which formed as a gulf low merged with
the aforementioned feature will also shift east into the Copper
River Basin. Cold air advection is infiltrating east of the
Alaska Range and will briefly enhance snow from the Anchorage north
to the Matanuska Valley this evening before snow slowly tapers off
and ends overnight. An additional 1-3 inches is possible. Snow
will linger in the Copper Basin through most of the day tomorrow
before ending.

Confidence drops off fast tomorrow afternoon and evening as an
elongated shortwave trough moves into south central Alaska from
the west. Current satellite imagery of the system shows the best
low level convergence and organization south of the Aleutian
Islands, and it is expected that the low will develop somewhere
south of the Alaska Peninsula tonight. As it lifts into south
central Alaska tomorrow the track will most likely remain south
of the Kenai Peninsula, but there is still uncertainty so areas
north of the Kenai may see some afternoon snow, but confidence is
very low. The best shot for snow will be along the Kenai Peninsula
and into Prince William Sound.

Another front will begin to spread more clouds and moisture along
with snow along the Western Alaska Range and rain/snow along the
Kenai Peninsula coast Monday. Strong lee side precipitation shadowing
will keep inland locations dry.

&&

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

Scattered snow showers will continue across southwest Alaska
through much of Sunday as a combination of onshore flow persists
and a series of upper level troughs push through the region. The
bulk of the snow showers will likely fall over coastal locations
with the lower Kuskokwim Valley likely seeing very few showers. By
Sunday night (06Z Monday), a potent frontal boundary will push
inland over western Alaska and bring a nice push of moderate to
heavy snow and strong wind gusts. The biggest question at this
time is how much warm air is advected out ahead of the front. With
the last system that brought blizzard conditions to the Kuskokwim
Delta, the antecedent air mass was much colder which allowed
warmer air to overrun the colder air mass and not modify as
rapidly. However, on Sunday night, the air mass should modify
pretty swiftly in response to the warmer air being advected
northward. In addition, winds will be gusty from the southeast
and not the northeast like the previous event.

Nevertheless, a blizzard watch was issued with the afternoon
package for coastal locations in the Kuskokwim Delta.
Precipitation intensity should be heavy enough to keep the lowest
levels saturated which should aid in keeping temperatures at or
below freezing although guidance wants to warm them above
freezing. With precipitation lagging for inland locations, they
will likely mix with or transition to rain Monday morning as
temperatures warm ahead of the front. While this situation is not
the most ideal for blizzard conditions, wind gusts 50 to 60 mph
with moderate to heavy snow should briefly reduce visibility to
1/2 to 1/4 mile at times Monday morning.

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

Scatterometer and satellite imagery depict a surface low developing
over the Pacific Ocean between Shemya and the Kamchatka Peninsula.
This low is forecast to track near Shemya Sunday morning and near
Saint Matthew Island early Monday morning. While this low travels
east, it will push a gale force front across the central and
eastern Aleutians Sunday morning and could strengthen to a storm
force front as a triple point low develops along the front Sunday
afternoon and compacts the pressure gradient further. This low
will shift east into the western Gulf of Alaska Monday afternoon.
Precipitation type remains a bit tricky but with decent warm air
advection associated with the frontal boundary, the strongest
winds will likely coincide with rain and not snow which will
eliminate any possibility of blowing snow or blizzard concerns.

&&

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

A front near the Alaska Peninsula will decay over the Aleutian
Range and south central Alaska Monday night into Tuesday. In the
process it will bring snow to both sides of the Aleutian Range,
the Alaska Range north to Denali, as well as the Kenai and Chugach
Mountains. Out west a fast moving storm force front will move
into the western Bering Sea, with snow changing to rain on Tuesday
over the western Aleutians.

By early Wednesday the Bering front reaches eastern Russia, with
gales and storm force winds slowly diminishing over the region
into the weekend. The front in the east decays into a trough along
the North Gulf Coast, with precipitation diminishing to showers
through the week. High pressure will build across mainland Alaska through
the week. Warm air over the Bering Sea cools by midweek, while
cold air associated with the mainland High becomes more entrenched
over south central Alaska through the week.
