Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 530 AM AKDT Sun Mar 18 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A front is currently moving into Southwest Alaska this morning, causing areas of precipitation well out ahead of it. This front is the leading edge of cold air that will result in a pattern change for Southern Alaska for much of the upcoming workweek. Meanwhile, prefrontal energy is causing a few rain and snow showers, particularly over Prince William Sound, with that shower activity largely ended around the Cook Inlet region. The exception being some isolated showers moving northeastward up Cook Inlet. Precipitation associated with the main front is diminishing across the Lower Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol Bay this morning. Plentiful residual moisture in place across much of Southern Alaska is causing fog and low stratus issues once again in places. A much stronger upper level shortwave is over the western Bering this morning. This will help to reinvigorate precipitation along the front as it races along a 120 kt jet into Southern Alaska tonight. More details on that below. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The models remain in good agreement on the large-scale. Thus, forecast challenges remain timing the small-scale features embedded in the larger scale flow. Among these include determining how much and the duration of precipitation today through Monday in the Susitna Valley, with some models shutting off the precipitation for a time this morning, but now most keeping it going straight through into Monday. Where precipitation remains all snow north of Talkeetna, a long-duration light snow event is likely. Meanwhile, other forecast challenges include the strength of the precipitation through Southwest and Southcentral tonight as a strong upper level shortwave moves through. Precipitation type issues are likely as temperatures hover at or above the freezing mark. Then on Monday morning, the cold air moves in first through Southwest Alaska, then into Southcentral, which will turn any lingering precipitation over to snow. However, there are still some significant differences as to how long this lasts. Behind the front Monday through Wednesday, winds will be the primary weather hazard, as the cold air drains through the gaps, resulting in high wind concerns at times. With so much going on, forecast confidence in any one aspect of the forecast is below normal. && .AVIATION... PANC...Low stratus early this morning may briefly cause MVFR ceilings over the airport. Isolated showers along with patchy fog cannot be ruled out. Precipitation returns tonight, with the type still not certain. However, with southeast winds expected, rain is most likely. MVFR to possibly briefly IFR conditions are expected. The rain will end Monday morning as stronger winds usher in colder temperatures. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A weak shortwave passing over the Southern Mainland will allow for rain and snow showers to continue from the Susitna Valley southward into Prince William Sound this morning. After this passes over, most areas outside of the Susitna Valley should see a brief break in the precipitation ahead of a much stronger upper level trough that will move into the area by this evening. There remains a small amount of uncertainty in how late in the evening this precipitation will begin, but there is now good consensus of a general deteriorating trend over all of Southcentral this evening into early Monday morning. Precipitation type will also be a bit of a challenge from this event, especially over the Anchorage Bowl and Matanuska Valley where southeasterly winds from the developing lee side low over the North Gulf should keep most precipitation as rain or a rain/snow mix until early Monday morning when winds should cease enough cold air surges in to allow for light accumulations (less than an inch or so) during the Monday morning commute. Further north over the Susitna Valley conditions should stay cold enough to support just snow for the event, however with temperatures mostly hovering around freezing accumulations are expected to remain just below advisory level for the event. Starting late Monday morning most areas should see an abrupt change in the weather as strong cold air advection begins to spread in behind the departing Gulf low. This not only will allow for any snow that does develop in Southcentral to end quickly as drier air moves into the area, but more importantly for the development of gusty gap winds throughout the Gulf Coast. There remains good confidence that this low will bring widespread gale force winds to much of the Gulf and North Gulf Coast beginning late Monday. This will also bring strong outflow winds to the Seward, Whittier, and Valdez areas that will persist into Tuesday. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A front associated with a low near the Kamchatka Peninsula will continue to move onshore on today. The precipitation shield has moved east of the Bethel radar (PABC) with the latest metars at Aniak and Sparrevohn recording snow this morning. Post-frontal precipitation is anticipated today for portions of Southwest. With colder air advecting into the region, generally expecting light snow or snow showers but it is possible that some of the coastal areas along Bristol Bay will see a mix. Monday will be drier across the Southwest. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... At the surface, there is a low near Kamchatka with an occlusion over the Northern Bering. This low is producing gale force winds near the Western Aleutians. During the forecast period, expect this system to shift north and eastward with the gales remaining west of the Pribilof Islands and moving directly over St. Matthew Island. A new wave has developed along the baroclinic zone south of the chain but it will rapidly get absorbed into the longwave wave pattern. A dome of high pressure will build over the North Pacific impacting the Aleutians. Multiple locations across the archipelago will see highs in the 40s. Warm aloft is inherently stable and is conducive for fog formation. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The mid/long term forecast begins Tuesday with a strong upper level ridge that is building across the Bering. East of that is an upper level trough that is digging south of the panhandle. These two features will be dominating the weather pattern, and become the source of model contention as we head into the middle of the week. As the ridge builds to the west, strong northerly winds will build across most of Alaska, keeping temperatures down and any precipitation at bay. As we move closer to the weekend, guidance really begins to diverge from any real consensus at the lower levels. Both models wrap shortwave energy around a parent low in the northern Bering Sea. The GFS is stronger than the EC and with the energy and attempts to break down the ridge by Friday. The EC on the other hand, is strong with the energy but does not cut through the ridge, rather it dives south. In reality, this is status quo for the GFS and the long term forecast will be shying away from that output. We will trend closer to the ensemble output from the EC. This trend weakens the ridge by this weekend as a low undercuts the ridge and moves into the Gulf. The primary takeaway of the extended forecast is that we will undergo two pattern changes through next weekend. The first change is as we move into the early week, and the shift to colder temperatures with northerly winds. The second is as we move towards the end of next week and into the weekend. The pattern looks to shift to more of an active storm track, bringing temperatures and chances for precipitation back up. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
