Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
456 AM AKST Sun Feb 18 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The jet stream across Alaska is highly amplified this morning with
a large upper level ridge extending from the Central Pacific north
all the way up into the Arctic Ocean, with an axis centered
directly over Southcentral bringing tranquil weather to most of
the region. A lower amplitude long wave trough is currently moving
east across the Eastern Bering towards the Western Alaska coast
with an associated strong low level southerly jet and front moving
across the Eastern Aleutians and AKPEN. The Bethel and King
Salmon radars show precipitation, mostly in the liquid form,
spreading across the AKPEN and the Western Capes and into the
Kuskokwim River Valley/Delta. Storm force winds are also being
recorded along the Eastern Aleutians and AKPEN this morning as the
front moves through. Further West, another storm force low is
rapidly moving northeast towards the Western Aleutians/Bering Sea
bringing strong winds and heavy rain to that area today.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in good agreement again this morning all locking in on
the timing and track of a weak front moving across southcentral today
through tonight. There is also better agreement on the next system
moving in from the Bering on Monday with the consensus showing
ridging over southcentral dominating the pattern causing the front
to shear out as it passes through, limiting the chance for any
accumulating snow through the middle of next week.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Webcams show some fog and low stratus lingering over the
Knik Arm this morning, though it seems to be much less widespread
than yesterday, so only added vicinity fog to the TAF with
predominate VFR conditions through the rest of the day. A weak
front moves into our area this evening bringing some light snow
and only MVFR conditions before rapidly clearing out again
overnight, which could lead to more fog and low stratus problems
tomorrow morning.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A trough will traverse across southern Alaska today. This will
bring some precipitation to Kodiak Island by late morning. For the
Kenai Peninsula, areas around Cook Inlet, and the Susitna valley
precipitation is likely this afternoon and early evening. Snow
amounts are expected to be fairly light as the system is moving
rapidly and does not have a lot of moisture to work with. The
trough then weakens as it moves east, but it could provide some
snow in the Copper River basin later this evening through tonight.
The upper level high will then rebound on Monday and Monday
night, for a return to dry conditions and weak offshore flow.

&&

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

A powerful front is moving inland along the coast this morning.
This front is supporting rather impressive southeast winds in
excess of 45-50 MPH along the coast. A mix of rain and snow will
accompany this front with any accumulations generally remaining
rather low since surface temperatures will likely be supportive
of snow but above freezing. The lone exception will be from
Dillingham north and west where favorable upslope dynamics may
help wet-bulb temperatures cool (due to evaporative
cooling/dynamic cooling from upslope processes) closer to 32
degrees with accumulations of 2-4" possible, although the higher
values will likely be north of Dillingham. The front will surge
inland and move east of the Alaska Range by this evening with
drying conditions lasting through tonight.

A much weaker front will approach the west coast this morning and
move inland through the day. This will once again be bringing in
a rather warm air mass aloft and most of the forcing for ascent
will be along the front, so expect a general rain to snow
transition, but with less moisture and weaker forcing, this front
will have weaker winds and will generally have very light (if any)
snow accumulations.

&&

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

The cold front which brought strong gale to low end storm force
winds to the central and eastern Bering Sea Saturday and tonight
is now moving inland along the west coast of Alaska and weakening.
Attention turns to another low developing south of the Western
Aleutians. This rather large low will quickly move into the Bering
today and tonight, bringing widespread gale force winds along with
a smaller swath of storm force winds both ahead of and behind the
low. Near hurricane force gusts are possible at Adak and Atka, and
gusts to 50-55 kt are possible for Unalaska/Akutan with slightly
lower gusts in southerly flow for the Eastern Aleutians. The
strongest core of southwest storm force winds will move over the
western Bering Monday afternoon and night, supporting sea states
of 33-40 feet as it tracks toward the Bering Strait.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The long term forecast beginning Monday night starts with dry
conditions across Southcentral with a surface ridge across the
eastern interior. To the west, an organized low tracking to the
northern Bering moves a front from the eastern waters to the Southwest
spreading light snow inland before diminishing just west of the Alaska
Range early Tuesday. A ridge amplifies across the southern mainland
late Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of the next approaching system.

Another storm system tracks quickly to the southwest Bering early
Tuesday on a similar track toward the Bering Strait. This system
will be "the one to watch" this week as a significant short wave
travels to the southern mainland late Wednesday into Thursday
bringing increased chances for precipitation as it propagates to
the Alcan border. The pattern remains active through the next work
week as a third storm system enters the western Bering Wednesday
night pushing the upper long wave into eastward motion.

Models are in general agreement with the active forecast pattern
through the end of next week, however they differ with the
amplitude of the upper wave pattern and in the progression of the
storm systems. The updates for the current package maintain
consistency, but higher uncertainty remains through the extended
as models typically struggle with these active patterns.
