Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
451 PM AKDT Wed May 30 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

An upper level stacked low is currently situated over the Bering.
The trough axis extends from the central Aleutians toward Norton
Sound. A strong 140 knot jet on the southern side of the trough is
inducing a wide swath of zonal flow aloft over the northern
Pacific.

At the surface, cloud cover is plentiful across
much of the state. A weak low in the Gulf continues to generate
light rain across the coastal areas of Prince William Sound. Light
rain is also observed across Cook Inlet on radar this afternoon
as well as along the AK Peninsula.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Guidance remains in generally good agreement through the next 24
hours. Minor disagreements arise on Friday when a low enters the
western Bering. The ECMWF and GFS both position the low slightly
further north while the NAM keeps the low further south. At this
time, forecasters leaned toward the NAM solution with the
southerly track.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Showers will be a threat through the early evening before
ending. Turnagain winds will remain gusty through the late evening
before waning overnight. Thereafter light winds and VFR conditions
will prevail.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...
A weak surface low spinning in the Gulf of Alaska will continue
to bring cloudy skies and rain showers to southern and western
portions of Southcentral overnight and into tomorrow. As the low
center drifts to the south and east tomorrow afternoon, dry
northeasterly flow will set-up leading to clearing skies and
warming temperatures as we head into the weekend.

Most of Southcentral will be under the influence of a no-flow
regime with weak ridging building in from the Yukon. As surface
temperatures warm up in the interior, a diurnal thermal trough
will develop over the Copper River Basin. This, combined with
several weak easterly waves pushing across the ALCAN should be
enough to initiate widespread showers with isolated thunderstorms
over the higher terrain in the afternoon and evening hours. Weak
northeasterly mid-level flow may push these storms into the lower
lying areas of the Copper River and Susitna Valleys on Friday.
Instability over the Chugach and Kenai Mountains should remain low
enough to prevent most thunderstorm development, though showers
and an isolated rumble of thunder can be expected if recreating in
those areas on Friday and into the weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...

A front remains stalled along the Southwest mainland through
Thursday afternoon, then dissipates as the associated surface low
fills. A ridge builds across the eastern Bering in the wake of the
low with light northerly flow developing across the Southwest on
Friday. Brief patchy morning fog is expected to develop Friday
early morning along much of the Kuskokwim Delta as the stable air
mass nudges inland. Friday afternoon there is a pattern shift
toward warmer conditions as a thermal trough develops across the
interior to the southwest. This brings the next focus for a few
thunderstorms to develop across the Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol
Bay during the latter part of the day Friday and Saturday.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)...

Low pressure along the eastern Bering weakens and diminishes by
Thursday afternoon. A ridge builds across the Bering in its wake
bringing a brief break in the active weather pattern late
Thursday. The next front races up from the North Pacific late
Thursday night spreading moderate to heavy rain and storm force
marine winds to the western and central Aleutians Friday through
Saturday. The associated surface low crosses over Shemya to the
Bering late Friday evening as it deepens to 965 mb. The track of
the low slows considerably as it continues north and detaches from
the jet stream which remains nearly zonal south of the Aleutian
Chain. The frontal boundary is expected to progress to the western
Alaska Peninsula by Saturday afternoon with the northern extent
of the boundary stretched across St. Matthew Island. The core of
the low remains across the western Bering Waters through this
time.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
Models have come into somewhat better agreement with regards to
the progression of the upper level pattern this weekend through
early next week. The deep, vertically stacked Bering low will
gradually fill as it meanders around the western Bering through
the weekend. The weakening associated frontal system will reach
the eastern Bering and Alaska Peninsula Saturday night and then
stall out and shear apart along the Southwest Alaska coast on
Sunday. A frontal wave will develop along a trailing section of
the front south of the Alaska Peninsula Sunday night but will
track off to the east well south of the Gulf Monday and Tuesday.

The broad upper level low over the Bering will progress gradually
east to be centered over central Bering Monday with a trough
elongating east Tuesday to stretch across the Alaska Peninsula
and into the western Gulf. The entire pattern will then continue
to shift to the south and east with upper level low centered over
the Alaska Peninsula and western Gulf Wednesday through Friday.
Of the all the various model solutions from yesterday's runs, this
one will bring the coolest overall weather. Easterly flow to the
north of the low will bring persistently showery weather to
Southwest Alaska while troughs and fronts rotating through the
Gulf will bring rain to the Gulf coast and cool, generally cloudy
onshore flow further inland to Southcentral Alaska.
