Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 4:23 AM AKST, 11 hours 11 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 423 AM AKST Fri Nov 17 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Aloft... The long wave ridge over the Bering and West Coast of Alaska will have several strong short waves make their way east through the ridge through the weekend. Each short wave will bring stormy conditions consisting of rain, snow, winds and possible blizzard conditions with them, with about a day of quiet weather in between them. A deep long wave trough over NW Canada will retrograde over eastern Alaska next week causing temperatures over the eastern Interior to fall to well below zero next week. A short wave trough over the Eastern North Slope and Eastern Interior will move over the Alcan Border today and east of the border tonight. Snow with this feature will taper off today and tonight. A second and very strong short wave near Kamchatka will move along the dateline Sat, over the West Coast of Alaska Sat night, then drop into the Gulf of Alaska Sun. This will bring a strong storm with strong winds, snow and blizzard conditions, and possible freezing rain to the West Coast and SW Interior Sat into Sun. See Surface below for details. Surface... A 1002 mb low 80 nm north of Cape Lisburne will move to Cape Lisburne as a 1017 mb low by Fri evening then dissipate Sat. A weakening weather front stretching from this low to 1004 mb low over Arctic Village, will move to Cape lisburne to a 1012 mb low near Dawson by 3pm Fri, and to Cape Lisburne to Northway by 3am Sat, then dissipating. There are winds 15-25 kt with the first low over the Chukchi Sea that are now causing high surf from Shishmaref to Deering. Those winds and the high surf will decrease this afternoon as the low weakens. There are scattered snow showers along the front that will diminish to isolated snow showers tonight. Upslope areas such as the north slopes of the Brooks and ALaska Ranges will see another 1-2 inches of snow with these features today. A 994 mb low over Kamchatka will move to near Anadyr as a 999 mb low by 3am Sat, to the Chukotsk Peninsula as a 991 mb low by 3pm Sat, to 60 nm southwest of Nome as a 981 mb low by 3am Sat, and to near Dillingham as a 989 mb low by 3pm Sun. A strong warm front stretches east from the low that will move to the Eastern Bering Sea by 3am Sat, to Provideniya to the Yukon Delta by 3pm Sat, with a cold front from Provideniya south to near St Paul Is by 3pm Sat. After that the front will rapidly occlude and lie from Nome to a triple point near King Salmon by 4am Sun, with the front moving south of the area during the day Sun. Expect snow and southeast winds 25-35 kt head of the front causing near blizzard conditions. Precip will change to rain along the warm front and in the warm sector south of the warm front. This will cause freezing rain over zone 214 and possibly southern zone 215 Sat PM which could cause a significant accumulation on the frozen ground. Precip will change back to snow with the cold front and with the occluded front. Expect 4-8 inches of snow over the West Coast and Western Interior with this system. Expect Northwest winds 40kt south of the surface low over zones 213 and 214 Sat PM into Sun Am. The could cause high surf zone 214 Sat night. Will issue for the West Coast from Kotzebue to Shageluk south for Sat into Sun. && .DISCUSSION...
