Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 4:12 AM AKDT, 11 hours 49 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 412 AM AKDT Sun Jun 17 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... Widespread rainfall continues across much of Southern Alaska this morning. Portions of the western Kenai Peninsula up to Anchorage have some downsloping keeping that area dry, which also holds true for the Copper River Basin. Nearly everywhere else in Southcentral is getting rain. This is largely the result of a strong vertically stacked low now over the southeastern Bering midway between the Pribilofs and Bristol Bay cycling a nearly continuous feed of moisture from the Pacific into southern mainland Alaska. This moisture is moving in primarily from the southwest, which parallels the axes of most of southern Alaska's mountain ranges. The result is only small areas of downsloping winds, as mentioned above, with most of the rest of the area either getting upslope enhanced precipitation or the lift is being generated from the Bering low itself, which is more so the case across Southwest Alaska. Along with the downsloping comes the strong gap winds. The Turnagain Arm Jet continues impacting Anchorage and the Hillside with gusty southeast winds, the Knik River wind is gusting into Palmer, and strong southerly winds continue in the Copper River Basin near Glennallen as well. The upper level pattern consists of a highly amplified upper low/trough that is nearly stationary over the eastern Bering. With the downstream ridging centered over the southern Panhandle, the entire area of real estate in between, essentially covering the entire Gulf Coast is under broad southwest flow aloft. The flow is bringing tropical moisture northward from the Pacific, causing the cloudy, wet pattern ongoing over southern Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The models are in decent agreement through Monday night. As expected with each low moving north into Alaska out of the data- sparse Pacific, the models differences appear relatively quickly. The model consensus once again has been to slow down the track of the next low, the center of which will be approaching southern Kodiak Island early Monday morning. The NAM has been faster with this low and as such is far enough away from the model consensus of EC/GFS that it was thrown out for winds along the coast and marine areas. Further north in Southcentral however, that difference disappears, so its high resolution solution was preferred for the gap winds through Turnagain Arm and the Knik River Valley. Forecast confidence is a bit above average as the pattern is consistent, though small details as usual remain uncertain. && .AVIATION... PANC...Continuous gusty south to southeast winds will continue for much of the day with the Turnagain Arm Jet. As a front approaches the coast, the Turnagain Wind will shift southward out of Anchorage. However, strong southeast flow will continue aloft as the surface winds turn more northerly in response to the front's approach, resulting in LLWS. Rain is possible resulting in potential MVFR conditions Sunday night as the front moves inland. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Southerly flow aloft will continue for Southcentral Alaska for the next couple of days as the main upper low remains in the Bering Sea, with a ridge to the east. An upper level short-wave trough and associated surface low will move northward towards the Gulf. The leading front will reach Kodiak Island and the Gulf coast this afternoon bringing increasing rain to those areas through Monday morning. Inland areas will also see an increase in rain chances, but considerably less than along the coast as strong downslope winds develop. This system will also bring stronger surface winds for many channeled areas like Turnagain Arm late tonight through Monday morning, as well as fairly strong winds to the Copper River area Monday afternoon and evening. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... As the weakening low remains stationary over the eastern Bering, the associated front over the southwest Mainland will also show signs of weakening throughout the day today. Rain over the area will briefly tapper down through this afternoon, as forcing decreases over the area. Rain will pick back up over the southwest Mainland later tonight through Monday night, as a reinforcing north Pacific low tracks north and phases with the weakening system over the southeast Bering. Mildly gusty southeast winds will persist over the southwest Mainland through tonight, with the strongest gusts through channeled terrain along the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... The Alaska Peninsula and eastern Bering will continue to see an active wet and windy pattern through Monday night, as low pressure over the eastern Bering remains stationary over the area and is reinforced by another north Pacific low tonight. A ridge builds across the western waters behind the main low, with more showery conditions expected over the central and eastern Bering/Aleutians under slightly cooler northerly flow. Along with this ridging and more stable conditions over the western half of the Bering and Aleutians, low clouds and fog are expected to spread across much of the western Bering and Aleutians through Tuesday. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The long term forecast begins Tuesday evening with the dominant upper air feature being a large and sprawling closed low center over the eastern Bering/Alaska Peninsula. Cloudier and showery conditions will me the dominant weather mode over Southern Alaska. After Wednesday the low slowly weakens and falls apart as weak upper ridging looks to build in. The ECMWF is more in favor of this scenario, but the GFS model is now trending in that direction as well. By Friday and into the weekend, slow warming should ensue, but plenty of lingering moisture and the intense solstice sun should still support rather widespread shower activity. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Another wave of heavy rain will be impacting the north Gulf coast starting with the southern Kenai peninsula early Monday morning, moving east to Cordova Monday through early Tuesday. Highest rainfall accumulations are expected for Prince William Sound with greater than 5 inches possible through Tuesday. Some of this precipitation will reach the western Susitna Valley, bringing 2-3 inches to the headwaters of the Yentna and Skwentna rivers. In addition to heavy rain, unseasonably strong easterly winds will accompany this storm with winds gusting up to 70 MPH for Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley. Motorists with high profile vehicles should exercise caution.
