Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
633 PM AKST Mon Nov 5 2018

Update to Longterm Discussion

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
The axis of the upper level ridge is moving over Southcentral
Alaska late this afternoon with and upper level low close to the
Gulf of Anadyr in eastern Russia. A decent jet streak which is
running a little over 100 KT (from the south-southwest) is in
between these two features.
At the surface, high pressure remains over the mainland part of
the state including Southcentral ALaska. Southwest Alaska is
beginning to be impacted by the front associated the a fairly
strong low in the northwest Bering Sea which is moving eastward.
This low and the front will have a difficult time progressing too
far eastward due to the ridge, but will also weaken it to set the
stage for a low, which is currently over 500 miles south of Sand
Point, to move into the Gulf of Alaska later in the week and
eventually displace the ridge.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in good synoptic agreement through mid-week, but there
are some differences emerging by the time Thursday arrives that
are worth noting. There are still some small differences with the
timing and track of the low approaching the Gulf of Alaska
Wednesday and Thursday as noted on the early morning discussion.
However, the differences seem to have lessened and models are
converging an a common solution increasing forecast confidence
with this low.
The low currently moving through the Bering Sea looks to be
locked-on by all models. It is the second low moving through a
similar track Wednesday night through Friday in which there is
much larger disagreement. In particular, the EC is a bit faster
and farther to the southeast than other models. The GFS and NAM
solutions are very similar to each other and taking a more
favorable northerly track so forecasts are more reflective of
those solutions.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. There may be
some small areas of stratus overnight in the vicinity, but a
ceiling at the airport is not expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...
A ridge persists across the southern mainland through mid week,
keeping inland areas cool and dry. A front moves up to the
southern Gulf Tuesday afternoon spreading rain across Kodiak
Island Tuesday night through Wednesday. Gale easterly winds are
expected along the boundary across the Gulf with northerly flow
for the Cook Inlet and Shelikof Strait on the backside of the
occlusion.

Precipitation type is challenging along the eastern Kenai
Peninsula as models are showing slight differences in the track
of the low. The front is expected to push across the eastern coast
of the Kenai Peninsula Wednesday morning; with a cold air mass in
place at the onset of the front, precipitation is expected to
start as snow. The low level temperatures slowly moderate to just
above freezing during the afternoon which may change precipitation
briefly over to rain.

&&

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

Scattered light rain showers will continue to fall over the
Kuskokwim Delta in advance of a front sliding toward the coast
from the eastern Bering. This front will move onshore overnight,
pushing into the interior tomorrow before slowing and shearing
apart tomorrow night as a low south of the AKPEN tracks north
toward Kodiak Island. A few rain and snow showers will linger
into Wednesday, especially along the higher terrain of the Alaska
and Aleutian Ranges. A fast-moving ridge then slides over the
southwest late Wednesday remaining in place over the interior
through Thursday. The next frontal system slides toward the coast
Thursday as a deep low moves east across the Bering. This front
will race onshore quickly, so precipitation amounts will be rather
light. However, with colder air in place, precipitation with this
frontal system will fall primarily as snow. Accumulations of
around one inch are possible for locations such as Bethel and
Dillingham. Scattered snow showers will linger behind the front
for Thursday night into early Friday.

&&

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

A storm-force low continues to track northeast toward the central
Bering this afternoon. As it does, the storm-force winds will
subside, but a wide area of gales will remain west of the
Pribilofs. Steep lapse rates due to colder air aloft wrapping
around the low combined with strong instability accompanying the
upper low will also bring the potential for some isolated
thunderstorms along the southern periphery of the low. This system
then weakens as it becomes vertically stacked and gradually lifts
toward Saint Lawrence Island tomorrow. The next Kamchatka low
then moves away from eastern Russia by late Tuesday swinging a
frontal system across the western Aleutians. The front then
quickly occludes as it races east, sweeping over the central
Aleutians by Wednesday and the eastern Aleutians Wednesday night
into early Thursday. Southerly gales will accompany the front as
it moves over the Aleutians and Pribilofs through the forecast
period. Storm-force winds will also develop over the western
Bering late wednesday into Thursday as the low deepens and tracks
toward Saint Matthew Island.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

An active pattern will be on tap for the west domain Thursday to
Monday. At the onset of the forecast period, there is a storm
south of the Aleutian chain and a mature system with a triple
point low in the Bering. Additionally, there is a disturbance near
Kodiak. There are some minor differences with timing and the
tracks of of the lows as early as F72 and F96. However, as time
elapses, the differences significantly amplify. With the longwave
trough in place over the Bering and the North Pacific, very
confident in the level of persistent unsettledness for the Bering,
the Aleutians and Southwest Alaska. However, given the lack of
run to run continuity there seems to be more uncertainty in the
longterm for Southcentral Alaska including Prince William Sound.
Waiting for the details to flesh out beyond F96.
