Area forecast discussion, Aug 17, 4:33 AM AKDT, 11 hours 13 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 433 AM AKDT Fri Aug 17 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The longwave pattern features a deep trough covering most of mainland Alaska and the Aleutians. There is a dome of high pressure over the Central Bering. There are numerous weak shortwaves across Southcentral, the interior of Alaska and over Southwest Alaska. The most organized disturbances are near the Eastern Aleutians and south of the chain. The radars on Kenai and Middleton Island continue to locate areas of light precipitation again this morning over portions of South Central and the northern Gulf Of Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The global models are in good agreement with the major synoptic features through Sunday. There are some minor differences in how they handle the precipitation. Beyond Sunday, the GFS and the ECMWF look very similar with the ridge axis over the Eastern Gulf Of Alaska and into the Interior. However, the same two models are wobbling over the evolution of the deepening low that is southwest of Kodiak. The global models are also out of sync in the Bering and the tropical energy in the West Pacific. There is some sense of uncertainty beyond 48 hrs. Expect forecast adjustments/amendments for Monday and beyond. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions will persist. There are some showers on the Kenai radar again this morning in the vicinity of Anchorage. Added VCSH to the TAF. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Southcentral Alaska is in the break between systems, but in August that does not necessarily mean that the weather will be great. A short wave along the Alaska Range is keeping some showers in that region. Those showers should slowly taper off as upper level ridging moves in from the south. This ridging will bring some partial clearing to parts of the area today, but the next front is moving in from the Pacific and will bring more rain to Kodiak Island beginning this evening. The low associated with the front is moving slowly so its progression was slowed up a little in the latest forecast. Gales will develop in the marine areas along the Gulf side of the Kenai Peninsula as well as around the Kodiak Island waters tonight into Saturday with the tightening pressure gradient. While winds will also increase through Turnagain Arm, they will mostly turn to the left and down-Inlet Saturday and Sunday due to the low remaining well to the southwest of Kodiak. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (through Sunday)... A fairly benign day is in store for the mainland. Lingering moisture and light winds will make for patchy fog early this morning, especially where clouds clear overnight. Otherwise, some breaks of clouds will make for a partially sunny day with no chance for precipitation. Late tonight, a front from the Pacific moves over the area. The main effect will be an increase in southeasterly winds in the Bristol Bay region, however, some light rain will also accompany the front where downslope drying is not occurring. On Sunday, the front washes out overhead, leaving much of the mainland in cyclonic flow which will bring at least a chance for rain showers. Expect clouds to and winds to increase late tonight and temperatures to remain near normal for this time of year. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (through Sunday)... Several fronts will move into the region. First, a north Pacific storm system will swing a solid gale-force front over the Alaska Peninsula this afternoon and evening. Along with widespread rain, some gusts into the 50-60 knot range are expected along the front through Saturday. The front washes out pretty quickly on Sunday as the responsible system weakens well south of the Peninsula. A secondary front will enter the western Bering Sea on Saturday carrying a north/south orientation and southerly winds. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The long term, beginning Saturday night, starts with ridging over the eastern Gulf that extends over the southern mainland and ridging over the western Aleutians and Bering. In between the two ridges is a low centered south of the Alaska Peninsula with a front pushing in over southwest Alaska. The eastern ridge is holding strong which will stall the front over the southern mainland bringing rain to the area into mid next week. The western ridge will be breaking down which will allow for another system to move into the western Bering early next week. Mid next week the models diverge on what happens with the low in the Bering. The GFS keeps the low over the western Bering which would have little impact on the southern mainland. However, the EC has the low moving into the eastern Bering which would bring widespread rain to the southern mainland. Because of these differences the ensembles were preferred. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
