Area forecast discussion, Jan 25, 2:41 PM AKST, 12 hours 47 minutes before

Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
241 PM AKST Wed Jan 25 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Aloft...
The long wave trough over the Bering Sea and NW Pacific with a
ridge over NW Canada will persist through the weekend and then
retrograde next week with the ridge building over mainland Alaska
by late next week. This means that southerly flow aloft will
continue to push a series of weather systems north over Northern
Alaska through the weekend. This will bring temperatures to well
above normal through Thu along with Chinook wind conditions in
the SE Interior of Alaska. This will also bring above normal
temperatures and periods of light snow to the remainder of
northern Alaska through the weekend.

Surface...
A 988 mb low over Kotzebue Sound will dissipate tonight. A 975 mb
low near Nunivak Island will drift south Thu night and Fri. A
occluded front stretching Nunivak Island to Kotzebue to Atqasuk
to Barter Island will move to Savoonga to Point Hope to Barter
Island by 3pm Thu...and then dissipate. Snow along and northwest of
the front is occuring from Barrow west, with the snow diminishing
southeast of the front. There are north winds 20-30kt along the
front from Point Hope south. This is causing significant blowing
snow in zone 213 which will continue through Thu.

A warm front moving aloft over the southeast Interior will move to
McGrath to Arctic Village by 3am Thu and to St Mary's to Nome to
Anaktuvuk Pass by 3pm Thu. This will bringing warm air aloft which
will mix to the surface in most areas other than the Yukon Flats.
Will see a few flurries with this feature over the Interior but
will light snow over the West Coast.

A lee side trough associated with moderate chinook winds on the
north side of the Alaska Range will persist through Thu. There are
south gap winds gusting 50 mph which will increase to 60 mph
tonight and to Thu. This is also causing SE winds gusting 25 mph
at Delta Junction now that will increase to 50 mph Thu.

A cold front in the Gulf of Alaska will move to Anvik to Denali to
Northway by 3pm Thu...to the Bering Strait to Red Dog to Arctic
Village by 3am Fri and then to the Bering Strait to Point Lay to
Barter Island by 3pm Fri. This will cause east winds to increase
to 20-30 kts across the central and western Interior Thu with and
West Coast Thu afternoon and Thu night. Will see blowing and
drifting snow over higher terrain with these winds.

A strong low moving into the NE Gulf of Alaska Thu night will move
to South Central Alaska Fri. An occluded front with the low will
move over the SE Interior Fri afternoon...to Bethel to Bettles to
Old Crow by 3am Sat...and to Norton Sound to Red Dog by 3pm Sat.
Will see a chance of snow with this feature.

Another low will move north of the SE Interior Sat bringing
another chance of snow.

.DISCUSSION...
Models initialize well at 500 mb and and surface, and show similar
solutions through 3pm Fri...then start to see significant
differences on strength and timing of a short wave and associated
surface low pressure system moving north over Alaska. At this
point favor the ECMF solution for Fri night and Sat due to the
wide spread in GFS ensemble solutions at those times.
