Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
453 PM AKDT Thu Aug 9 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
An upper level low remains over Southcentral Alaska, slowly moving
east. A vertically stacked low over the central Aleutians is
trekking northeastward bringing widespread cloud cover and
rain/showers to the central Aleutians through the western Ak-Pen.
In an area of a weak jet, the low has begun to fill even further
but it is still having an impact with lightning aloft being
observed in satellite images. Satellite also shows a dry slot
ahead of the front over the eastern AK-Pen and southwest Alaska,
which is associated with a weak ridge. The ridging pattern is
beginning to deteriorate clouds over Southcentral and is producing
dry conditions throughout most of the region.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in good agreement through Friday evening which is when
they start to diverge in the placement of a low in the west. The
NAM and GFS are in step with bringing the low further east by the
weekend while the EC is lagging behind. In the east, models are
handling the ridging pattern well and are showing cohesiveness for
an incoming front.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A shortwave ridge keeps the region mostly dry overnight. The
exception to this will be along and near the Talkeetna and
Wrangell Mountains where weak instability supports a scattered
showers through the late evening as a disturbance moves through
the flow aloft. The next front moves to Kodiak Island Friday
morning bringing another round of rain, tracking northward across
the Kenai and northern gulf in the afternoon. Rain spreads across
the rest of Southcentral by the evening. There will only be a
short break between rain systems as another front moves through
the southern gulf by Saturday morning on a fast paced northerly
track.

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

A wet period of weather is the overarching theme for the forecast
for the next few days across Southwest Alaska. Two separate lows
will impact the area through Sunday. The convective cloud cover
over the area this afternoon will clear somewhat overnight for
inland locations as the first low moves northeastward towards the
area from the Bering. The rain will begin along the entirety of
the Bering coastline Friday morning, then move inland during the
day, overspreading the rest of Southwest Alaska by evening. As the
center of the low moves into the Lower Kuskokwim Delta during the
day, winds will increase out of the southwest through Bristol
Bay, and through the gaps and passes through the Alaska and
Aleutian Ranges. The rain will move into the Alaska Range Friday
night, with precipitation rates diminishing elsewhere. The winds
will slowly diminish through Friday night as the low weakens near
the Kuskokwim Delta Saturday morning. Scattered showers will
continue through the morning for much of Southwest Alaska as the
area prepares for the arrival of the much stronger second low.

Rain associated with the second low will move into Southwest
Alaska Saturday afternoon, starting with the warm frontal
precipitation at the coast, and spread northward through the
evening. Any brief relaxation of the winds Saturday will end
during the evening as the low approaches. The rain will get
increasingly heavy through the night, with the strongest rains
associated with the low expected through the Kuskokwim Mountains
and Aleutian Range on the southeast sides of those mountains.
Downsloping through the gaps will locally diminish some of the
precipitation rates on Sunday, but those same areas will
experience the strongest winds, with gusts into the 50-60 mph
range out of Kamishak Gap on Sunday. The low moves north into the
Kuskokwim Delta Sunday evening, but strong winds and locally heavy
rains will continue over nearly all of Southwest Alaska into
Sunday night.

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

The center of an area of low pressure currently passing Adak is
forecast to pass near the Pribilof Islands early Friday morning,
then track near the Kuskokwim Delta coast late Friday night,
weakening as it does so. The strongest winds associated with this
first low should only get into around 25-30 kts, especially along
and south of the eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula. Locally
moderate rain rates are possible ahead of the low through the
eastern Bering and the Pribilofs this evening. The rain will
spread into Southwest Alaska on Friday.

A second much stronger low will develop southwest of Dutch Harbor
on Saturday morning, tracking to the west of there Saturday
afternoon. This storm will produce strong gale force winds of
40-50 mph with gusts as high as 65 mph as the storm strengthens on
Saturday. Heavy rains coincident with the strong winds are also
expected for most areas around the center of the low. The low will
reach its peak intensity Sunday afternoon as it approaches the
Kuskokwim Delta coastline, with the strongest winds west of the
low center between Nunivak Island and the Pribilofs. The low moves
inland Sunday evening, but very strong north to northwest winds
will continue throughout the eastern Bering into Sunday night.
High pressure builds across the western Bering and Aleutians on
Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7: Sunday night through
Thursday)...

The long term forecast begins Sunday night with a 980 mb low,
enhanced with the remnants of Typhoon Shanshan, centered over the
Kuskokwim Delta coast moving further inland to the north. Models
are generally in decent agreement with the low spreading a large
swath of heavy rain across most of the southern mainland Sunday
into Monday with associated strong winds impacting most of the
region, especially along coastal areas. The low track is taking a
path that is typically conducive for strong winds through
Turnagain Arm and higher elevations along the Chugach front, as a
front sweeps north Sunday and induces pressure rises through
Prince William Sound, locally enhancing the pressure gradient
through Turnagain Arm and southcentral. There are still some model
discrepancies regarding timing and strength, but strongest winds
look to be sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning.
Stay tuned for additional details.

On Monday, the low looks to stall out over the western mainland,
though models begin to diverge as to where the low ends up, with
the EC looping the low back south into Bristol Bay and eventually
weakening and ending up in the Gulf of Alaska by mid week. The GFS
and Canadian models keep the low stalled out over the western
mainland until slowly moving it southeast over southcentral and
into the gulf. Either way, cool and rainy weather is expected
through at least the first half of next week as the area will
continue to be under the influence of the low.

Looking into the end of next week, deterministic models become
unhinged with little model to model consistency or even run to run
consistency, with the EC showing a large high amplitude ridge
building across the Eastern Bering while the GFS shows another
storm system moving into the region. Until models show better
agreement, little changes will be made to the long term forecast.
