Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 449 AM AKST Mon Nov 19 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A deep upper level trough extends across most of mainland Alaska this morning as a broad upper level ridge extends over the central/eastern Bering Sea and Aleutians. A 100+ kt southerly jet at 300 mb is located on the eastern side of the upper trough, pumping subtropical air north into eastern Alaska. This jet is supporting the development of a surface low just to the NE of Kodiak with an occluded front pushing north across the Gulf Coast. This front is bringing widespread rain across the coast with precipitation spilling over into the Copper River Basin. Surface temperatures are again mostly above freezing with the exception of locations near the center of the Copper River Basin, where freezing rain has been reported since yesterday afternoon. The upper ridge over the Bering is moving west leading to increasing northerly winds dragging colder air south across the eastern Bering/Aleutians. Further west, another surface low supported by a strong zonal jet is pushing a frontal system east across the western Bering. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models are in decent agreement this morning through the short term forecast period. Models are a bit slower with the northward progress of the front pushing across the Gulf Coast and Southcentral this morning, thus precipitation should taper off more rapidly today. Models all show the surface low in the Gulf slowly track northeast through Tuesday, though the EC brings the low center into the Prince William Sound while other solutions keep the low out over the open Gulf. The low tracking east across the western/central Bering is also being handled well by the models, with no major discrepancies noted. && .AVIATION... PANC...Conditions should remain VFR today as the front and associated precipitation have already pushed north past the terminal this morning, with cloud cover diminishing behind the system. Some patchy low clouds may linger in the Anchorage Bowl this morning but are expected to diminish and not impact the terminal. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Mon and Tue)... A fairly strong front moves rapidly north across Southcentral this morning bringing more showery conditions across many areas today. A lower 980s mb vertically stacked low near Kodiak Island slowly weakens as it moves to the eastern Gulf coast Tuesday afternoon. This center will produce gales across the Gulf today which should hold into the late afternoon hours before weakening. A fairly tight pressure gradient on the backside (west) should be enough to continue westerly gales over the western Gulf/Barren Islands through tonight, then weakening on Tuesday. Brisk to strong gap flows across Turnagain Arm/Portage Valley will diminish this evening. A combination of a broad upper level trough and some low level moisture will keep the threat of showers across Southcentral into Tuesday. The coast however will be the main recipient of the moisture. The main body of cold air looks like it will hold on the interior side of the Alaska Range keeping the milder airmass with a nudge to cooler conditions across Southcentral. So in general mixed showers will likely be the main precipitation types. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... (Today through Tuesday) A weak disturbance in the mid levels of the atmosphere is currently moving ashore, with a decent batch of snow showers developing immediately ahead of it across the Kuskokwim Delta. This feature will slowly trek eastward through the day, spreading the snow inland, before washing out overnight. Another impact from this disturbance will be continued cold advection. This will cause a rain snow mix to develop for coastal locations north of Bristol Bay, and snow inland. Further south (mainly east of the Kilbuck Mountains and south of the Nushagak Hills), this region will be further removed from the cold air, with mainly a rain to at times a rain/snow mix scenario developing. Then for your Tuesday, a much stronger disturbance of Siberian origin will move to Hooper Bay by early afternoon. A surface low associated with this disturbance will send a very strong cold front towards the Kuskokwim Delta and western AKPEN by mid afternoon, with widespread precipitation developing along it. Given the strength of the cold air rushing into the region, mainly snow will be the predominant precipitation type, with a few inches of accumulation possible. The exception to this will be coastal Bristol Bay, where it'll take just a bit longer for the cold air to reach the region. By Tuesday night, everyone will feel the chill in the air. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... (Today through Tuesday) A strengthening area of low pressure will move from the western Aleutians this morning to Cape Newenham by tomorrow morning, with a trailing cold front sweeping eastward. Widespread precipitation will develop along and ahead of both of these features, with sustained winds increasing to small craft criteria north of the chain, and gales further south. High pressure will develop in its wake, with cyclonic flow around the low and anti-cyclonic flow around the high tightening the pressure gradient for the eastern half of the Bering Sea and Aleutians. This will result in northwest winds advecting in colder air all the way down to the chain/AKPEN, with rain showers changing over to snow showers with time. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7/Wednesday night through Sunday)... The extended time frame starts with troughing over southcentral AK, ridging for the central and eastern Aleutians, and troughing over the Western Aleutians. This is similar to the solution yesterday for midweek, so confident in the pattern. This means active weather for southcentral AK and the western Aleutians. Models are still showing ridging working its way east later next week with the ridge moving over southcentral AK. There is some difference in the strength of this ridge so remains to be seen how much influence it will have, but generally a cooling and drying trend can still be anticipated later next week for southcentral AK. As with the past few days, models diverge significantly going into next weekend. This means a middle of the road approach in the forecast until things can get straightened out with model consistency. The western Aleutians are also a mess by Thursday of this week with the forecast. With confidence being so low in the long range, not much point in trying to nail down a solution at this time. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...141 Winter Weather Advisory.
