Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 633 PM AKST Fri Dec 7 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A vertically stacked low that has developed within a short wave in the southern Gulf has become the dominate weather maker this evening. This low is moving through the flow of the long wave trough that once encompassed most of the Bering and Aleutians. The jet stream is taking on a meridional shape with the main jet streak in the eastern Gulf with a secondary streak approaching the western Aleutians. Strong vorticity, and the favorable low position in the left exit region of the jet is aiding in the low development and intensification. A large amount of energy is associated with the low, and it is advancing quickly towards the northern Gulf which can be observed in satellite imagery. As this strong low moves north, it is extending a warm front over the southern mainland, bringing a wide swath of precipitation to Southcentral, the northern Gulf Coast and the Kenai Peninsula. High winds are also associated with this system which are being observed throughout the northern Gulf. Along with the strong winds and increased precipitation, the low is causing cold air advection into the Bering and western Mainland. The influx of moisture in combination with the cooler air is causing most of the state to be covered in stratus. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models have finally settled on a more easterly track of the low through the Gulf. Where the models struggled, they have come into better agreement with the low moving into Prince William Sound early Saturday morning. Model consistency persists through Saturday afternoon when they start to diverge on a second low moving from the southeast into the Gulf. The EC is the fastest solution moving a second developing low into the northern Gulf while the NAM and GFS maintain a slower solution with the GFS being the "middle ground". However, by Saturday night, they come back together as the low moves inland. Given the discrepancy, the GFS/GFS ensemble was the favored model. Farther west, a Kamchatka low is advancing toward the western Aleutians Saturday morning and models are in decent agreement regarding this system. The similarity in models quickly dissipates as the NAM takes the quicker path into the eastern Bering. The GFS and EC maintain a similar track until they finally all come together again Sunday evening. && .AVIATION... PANC...Downsloping off the Chugach Range this afternoon is keeping the precipitation nearby, but out of the terminal. It is also producing a wind shear layer where the northerly surface winds abruptly are switching to the southeast. There is a question as to wind and precipitation type late tonight through Saturday afternoon. At this time, and this could change, it appears that strong southeasterly winds will not make it into the terminal. However, winds will switch south to southwest in the afternoon which will usher in the colder air and turn precipitation type to all snow. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... The very impressive storm cycle continues this evening as another powerful storm force low tracks toward the North Gulf Coast. The warm seclusion is currently tracking north from 55N, and was observed to hurricane force in the sting jet, with 65 knots at the core. The associated storm force front is already impacting the coast with gales in Prince William Sound. Heavy rain is impacting the coast with over 2.2" of rain at Girdwood, and over 3" in Seward over 24 hours. This bomb mature cyclone was not anticipated to reach such strength yesterday, and as such, the track now looks to go through Prince William Sound tomorrow morning (Saturday). This eastward shift in the track changes everything, as now the isallobaric maxima is going to be west of Anchorage and Turnagain Arm, with the strongest core of southerly onshore winds moving through PWS into the Copper Basin. Chinook type winds will move through the Copper Basin tomorrow and will likely impact all areas including Glennallen where temps may rise to near 40 degrees with rain showers. Farther west, thermals will not be quite as warm as anticipated yesterday, so it seems more likely that rain will mix snow by midday, then turning to all snow in the late afternoon/early evening. Any snow accumulations will generally be light given the weak south/southwest winds originating off Turnagain Arm. The forecast gets trickier Saturday night into Sunday as the next low moves in behind the first. This low is still churning and developing in the North Pacific, but one thing is clear. The eastward track of this first low will allow for all snow wherever it moves inland, which right now ranges from Anchorage to Eureka (the main snow band). The possibility exists of a decent snow accumulation of 4-6" wherever the band sets up, but right now there is quite a bit of uncertainty with that. For now took a middle ground approach Saturday night with likely snow in this forecast from Anchorage to the western Copper Basin. Stay tuned... && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Friday night through Monday)... Currently a deformation zone from a low in the Gulf of Alaska is sitting over the eastern parts of zones 161 and 152. This has prompted the issuance of winter weather advisories for snow in those areas until 6AM tomorrow morning. To the northwest of this feature, a low spins along the coast of the Yukon Delta. The backside of this low is feeding cold air into southwest AK, which will end precipitation and cool temperatures, especially in interior areas, until Sunday. Sunday afternoon the next round of weather approaches from the Bering Sea in the form of a low pressure system that will be riding along the north side of the Aleutian Islands. This low will warm temperatures and send precip into SW AK, with perhaps a band of stronger winds, around 30mph, just reaching the coast. Model uncertainty is still high with the placement of this low as it moves east towards the mainland, so there are not yet specifics on the forecast for this low. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3/Friday night through Monday)... The outer reaches of a storm force low are beginning to reach the western Aleutians. This system will be the big weather maker the next few days, as it is broad in scale so it will encompass most of the Aleutian Island chain as it pushes east through the weekend. The main impact of this low will be high winds and seas, especially on the south side of the western Aleutians. Storm force winds are expected on the Pacific side of the western Aleutians tomorrow night. Corresponding wave heights were added to the forecast last night, and continuity was kept with that forecast. So, we are still going for wave heights exceeding 40 feet. Due to strong winds and high seas, this area should be avoided. This low will then weaken as it tracks east through the weekend, though it will remain intense enough to bring gale force winds to the Aleutian Islands as it goes. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)... (Tuesday through Friday) The active pattern continues is this afternoon's weather theme, as model continuity continues to be moderate to good, as a series of storms affect the region. Our first contender in the extended is a rapidly deepening storm (into the lower 950s mb range) lifting north into the Gulf. This system will pull some tropical moisture into our neck of the woods, with current forecast values being some 300 to 400 percent above normal. At this time, the heaviest precipitation looks to be along the coastal locations along the Gulf, but, some fairly respectable precipitation totals look to make it into much of Southcentral as well. Additionally, one notable change today is all models have trended cooler with some wintry type precipitation a legitimate possibility. As is typical with these deep systems, strong winds for the upper elevations and marine waters are extremely likely, with sustained storm force winds a good bet. Our attention then turns to another storm, with this one passing south of the Aleutians on Tuesday, moving into the Gulf on Wednesday. Most of the heavy precipitation with this 950s mb low looks to stay south of the chain, but some storm force winds are possible for the southern coastal waters. By the time it enters the Gulf it will have weakened some, as current forecasts have it in the lower 960s with a further south track compared to yesterday. These two things are noteworthy, because the tropical moisture will still make its way into Southcentral, but the warm advection now looks to be less aggressive, with the majority of the precipitation looking to be snow (hope I didn't just jinx that), but for you snow lovers this could be one of our best potentials this year IF...the current forecast holds. It's still several days out but the trend towards this has been consistent the last several model runs. Looking just beyond the extended forecast range, it looks like more of the same is on tap for us...so stay tuned! && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...Winter Weather Advisory...152 161.
