Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
447 PM AKST Sat Dec 1 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A look at the large scale flow shows a long-wave trough
encompassing the Bering Sea and western Alaska, with a
downstream ridge over the Northeast Pacific extending northward
across the Gulf and the eastern part of Alaska. A seasonably
strong and undulating upper level jet stream supports multiple
storm systems tracking quickly from the North Pacific to mainland
Alaska.

As for specifics, a surface low is tracking inland across Southwest
Alaska with a robust negatively tilted trough aloft. Temperatures
are warm enough for rain from Bristol Bay to the Kuskokwim Valley.
Meanwhile, over Southcentral isentropic lift and upslope flow are
leading to areas of precipitation, mainly along the Gulf coast,
Cook Inlet, and up the Susitna Valley. Precipitation is falling as
mainly rain along the coast with snow inland. The tail end of the
upper level short-wave over Southwest Alaska is headed for Cook
Inlet, which will help intensify precipitation. Tight east-west
pressure gradients are leading to gusty gap winds, particularly
through Turnagain Arm. Gale force winds are also being observed
across the western Gulf waters as a cold front approaches from the
west. As the low over Southwest Alaska continues northward this
afternoon, southerly winds will spread inland across Southcentral.

The next system in line is a mature, compact gale force low in
the vicinity of the Eastern Aleutians. This low is on a more
westerly track than the one over Southwest, headed north-northeast
into the Bering Sea and toward the Kuskokwim Delta coast. A third
large and deep low is well south of the Aleutian chain, but
tracking northward as the upper trough digs across the North
Pacific and amplifies the upper level flow. Weather across the
remainder of the bering Sea and Aleutians is showery with gusty
winds.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Model guidance is in good agreement with these fast moving systems,
with just some minor timing differences (3 to 6 hours). The biggest
forecast challenge will be precipitation type, particularly for
Southcentral.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Strong southeasterly Turnagain winds will shift to more
southerly late this evening as the current storm exits across
Interior Alaska. Pressure gradients will then rapidly diminish
after about 09Z, so winds should die down quickly. There is a
shot of precipitation between 00Z and 06Z, but with some cross
barrier flow think VFR conditions will prevail. There could be a
very brief period of MVFR as flow shifts around to southerly. The
well mixed boundary layer will support mostly rain as this passes
through. Looks like good clearing behind this, but short-lived as
the next round of precipitation approaches late Sunday afternoon.
Forecast soundings indicate precipitation will likely start as
rain, but as it intensifies Sunday evening, would expect a change
to snow.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...
Colder air advecting into Southcentral behind a cold front will
allow increased precipitation coverage for the region with snow
showers continuing. North of Talkeetna, increased lift via
orographics will keep the snow going through early morning,
before a brief lull develops. Then in the afternoon, widespread
snow will develop from west to east through the Sunday
night/Monday morning time frame.

For the Matanuska Valley and Anchorage metro, the 12z hi-res
models and Canadian Regional increased precipitation amounts
compared to previous runs, with the 18z run of the keeping pace
for the most part. The operational NAM decreased precip amounts
some and is more in line with the other models, as is the GFS. The
main issue looks to be how quickly the Turnagain winds shuts down
and how quickly the colder air rushes in as another storm affects
the region Sunday night. Significant snowfall is expected from
Sunday afternoon through Sunday night for Anchorage through the
Matanuska and Susitna valleys.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...
An active weather pattern is underway as one low exits Southwest
this evening, leaving isolated to scattered rain showers (with
some snow showers over the Lower Kuskokwim Valley). The next low
is currently moving over Dutch Harbor and will move inland late
tonight and Sunday. This will bring another shot of rain and snow
with light accumulations mainly over the Kuskokwim Delta area. The
low is rather fast moving and compact, but there will be
potential blowing snow over the Delta where strong west southwest
winds will develop behind the low. Otherwise, this low exits
Sunday night and high pressure aloft builds in through Monday
night before a warm front and southeast flow develops and moves
into Southwest on Tuesday, bringing strong southeast winds and
more rain/snow chances.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)...
Two compact gale force lows inhabit the Bering/Aleutians this
evening, with the main impactful low currently over Dutch Harbor
moving northeast towards Bristol Bay. This low will move inland
tonight with attention turning to a large developing storm force
low which will move into the southwest Bering Sea Sunday afternoon
and evening. Expect gusts to near 60-70 MPH along the Aleutian
Chain from Atka westward with low end storm force gusts from Dutch
Harbor east. The low will eventually drift north and fill the
entire Bering Sea through Tuesday as the front moves inland.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The forecast period commences with a longwave trough spanning
from the Central Bering to the North Pacific and a high amplitude
ridge over the Gulf Of Alaska extending into the Yukon Territory.
The GFS/ECMWF and Canadian all ping into several potent shortwaves
embedded in the upper level trough. At the surface, there is a
deep mature low near the central Aleutians, however the GFS has
the surface low south of Nikolski at 12Z Wednesday and the ECMWF
has the surface low near St. Paul at 12Z Wednesday. Additionally,
to the west, the same models are out of sync with the cyclone over
the Sea Of Okhotsk. As time elapses, expect this eastern low to
rapidly decay. The GFS continues to keep the remnants south of the
chain and the ECMWF keeps it quasi-stationary over the Bering.
With the cyclone near Russia, the GFS is more bullish bringing it
into the Bering. By late Thursday/Friday the next round of
cyclogenesis is well under way in the vicinity of the Gulf Of
Alaska. The intensity and the track of this new low is present on
both the GFS and ECMWF but the timing is slightly off. Generally
expecting a progressive and active pattern.
