Area forecast discussion, Nov 30, 4:50 AM AKST, 11 hours 4 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 450 AM AKST Fri Nov 30 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... An upper level low centered over the Kamchatka Peninsula extends across most of the Bering while a short wave ridge is centered over Southcentral. A strong 120kt jet is pushing northeast across the Aleutians and the southern Bering, undercutting the upper level low. The upper jet is helping to support a surface low over the Gulf of Anadyr with an associated gale force front extending south from the low across the western mainland coast and Bristol Bay. This front is pushing further inland bringing strong southerly winds, unseasonably warm air, and a large swath of precipitation. Precipitation has changed over to rain along the coast but colder air inland is keeping precip mostly as snow. Further east, high and mid level clouds can be seen advancing into southcentral while the upper ridge is holding on over the Copper River Basin, leading to cold temperatures and areas of patchy fog and low stratus covering most of the inland basin. Light offshore flow is leading to drier air and clear skies along the North Gulf Coast this morning. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Overall, models are in acceptable agreement at the synoptic level this morning, though most of the challenges this forecast lie in the details. Models are differing on how fast warm air moves up the Cook Inlet this afternoon, impacting precipitation type forecasts for the next 24 hours. The GFS is trying to keep colder air around longer up the Cook Inlet corridor, which would lead to more snow before switching over to rain. The NAM is a bit quicker at eroding the cold air and transitioning snow to rain from south to north, which aligns more with current observations and trends. && .AVIATION... PANC...Showers are in the vicinity of the terminal this morning as a front approaches from the southwest. Challenges included timing of wind shear and precip type with the approaching front this evening. Southeasterly flow will allow a Turnagain Arm wind to develop beginning Fri night, becoming strongest Sat morning. Downsloping should help keep precipitation light over the terminal and predominately VFR through the TAF period. With strong southerly flow aloft, periods of wind shear were included in the TAF. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Weak ridging remains over much of Southcentral Alaska which has helped develop and keep a stratus deck over much of the area. As the ridge axis pushes east today a front will ride up the western side and bring precipitation to Kodiak Island, the Cook Inlet corridor, and the Mat-Su Valleys. This evening it will spread precipitation throughout the rest of Southcentral Alaska. The biggest challenge with the forecast is the type of precipitation the front will bring to areas around Cook Inlet. Most areas should start off as snow, with low lying areas then transitioning to rain. However, some areas, such as western Kenai Peninsula, may see a brief transition to freezing rain before warming up enough for rain. It does not look like areas that will see the overrunning of warm air will be able to hold on to colder temps at the surface for very long. On Saturday, another wave will come through from the southwest bringing more rain to Southcentral Alaska. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Friday through Sunday)... The first of two fronts impacting southwest AK over the next couple days is currently pushing through the region. It is producing light snow as it goes, with some locations gusting to about 30 mph. This system is panning out as expected, which bodes well for confidence with the next system, since this means our forecast and the models handled the first one well. The next system is expected to be more powerful than the front currently over the area. This next system will cross over the eastern Aleutians today, then move northeast with the low center right over Nunivak Island tonight. The frontal system will be pushing through Bristol Bay today ahead of the low center. As this front moves in, it is still expected to bring warm air with it, meaning we are still expecting a mostly rain event. Precipitation will still start as snow but quickly shift to rain today, with the possibility of some brief periods of freezing precip over inland areas north of Bristol Bay. There is not enough of a threat to issue an advisory though. There is a good fetch of wind out of the southwest that looks to extend all the way into the lower Kuskokwim Valley, so warmed temps there a bit tomorrow and Sunday. As previously mentioned, this system will be stronger with storm force winds pushing through Bristol Bay. These winds will mainly occur on the backside of the low as it moves through tonight. After the passage of this system, the area will see a brief break, with the next low entering the area Saturday into Sunday. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3/ Friday through Sunday)... The low that will pass over the eastern Aleutians into southwest Alaska today is still on track. Gale force winds are expected for many areas in the eastern Aleutians, with storm force winds tonight on the south side of the eastern Aleutians. Out in the central and west Aleutians, there is more zonal flow occurring with winds steady at about 30 mph. This general pattern for the central and western Aleutians will be in place through the weekend. The eastern Aleutians however, will see another low track over them tomorrow night, in very similar fashion to the storm force low expected through the area today and tonight. As of now, this next low over the weekend will not be quite as strong, maxing out with gale force winds. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The forecast period commences with a longwave trough across the Central Bering and portions of the North Pacific with a ridge axis over the Yukon Territory and the Gulf of Alaska. Between these longwave features southwest flow aloft will dominate much of the mainland. There are numerous shortwaves embedded in the upper level trough. At the onset of the forecast period, the Canadian/GFS and ECMWF have a surface low near Dutch Harbor, another surface low west of St. Matthew Island and a dome of high pressure east of SE AK. Even at the onset of the forecast period the global models struggle with the placement of the surface low although they have these features. As the forecast period elapses, the model divergence becomes more amplified. Generally speaking, expecting a progressive and unsettled pattern for the Bering, the Aleutians and SW AK. However, due to the lack consistency, this forecast package reflects a blend of models. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...Dense Fog Advisory 141.
