Area forecast discussion, Dec 11, 4:54 AM AKST, 11 hours 6 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 454 AM AKST Tue Dec 11 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A long wave trough remains anchored across the Bering, stretching from Kamchatka east to the western Gulf. South of this trough, a 170kt jet streak continues to provide a zonal flow across the North Pacific and is suppressing future storm development upstream south of the western and central Aleutians. A negatively- tilted 495dm low situated over Bristol Bay is weakening as it slides east-southeast and transitions to an open wave. Downstream of this low, a shortwave trough is lifting north over the Southcentral interior while a second shortwave ejecting from the low moves into the central Gulf. A third shortwave continues to track southeast from the central Aleutians after bringing a quick burst of snow last evening to Unalaska. At the surface, the shortwave moving onshore over Southcentral is associated with a 960mb low situated north of Cordova. This system is producing a mix of rain and snow along the coast through Prince William Sound and areas of snow farther inland. Another area of snow is falling north of Homer, across Cook Inlet, and over the Anchorage Bowl as a weak surface trough extending west from this low also lifts to the north. A second surface low associated with the upper-level low over Bristol Bay is producing snow and gusty northwesterly winds from Cape Newenham south across the AKPEN along with strong gales over the open water. A trough extending north of this low is the focus of widespread snow across the lower YK Delta as moisture advecting from the west runs into a cold air mass situated over the interior Southwest. Here, snow has been falling throughout the overnight hours in an area from Quinhagak to Bethel to Aniak. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models remain in good agreement through the next 48 hours regarding the evolution of a low moving west into Prince William Sound and a second low moving northeast from Bristol Bay. There is also above average confidence of light accumulations of snow across much of Southcentral through through tonight as the GFS, NAM, and EC all show an occluded front across the southcentral coast and a trough stretching along western Cook Inlet through the Mat-Su Valleys. Farther west, there is good confidence in the southeast movement of a developing low near Norton Sound into the Bristol Bay region by midweek. This system will influence the setup of a deformation zone over Southcentral (Cook Inlet and MAt- Su Valleys) between it and a low in the Gulf on Wednesday with another round of light snow likely. The North Pacific low forecast to enter the Gulf on Wednesday is also better resolved by the models, as the GFS and NAM now have similar solutions with a 968mb staying in the southern Gulf. Most of the impacts from this system, other than an uptick in the offshore winds across Southcentral, look to affect the offshore waters and the Alaska Peninsula moving into the latter half of the week. && .AVIATION... PANC...Ceiling and visibility will drop to MVFR in snow this morning. Periods of IFR conditions are possible through the afternoon with reduced visibility due to bands of more moderate snow. Ceiling and visibility improve tonight as the low lifts to the north and the light snow comes to an end. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... The surface low came onshore near Cordova overnight and is weakening as it moves northwest across Prince William sound. This is bringing light snow to a good part of the Southcentral area and will likely bring periods of snow to the region through Tuesday night. One of the bigger forecast uncertainties for today revolves around the amount of snow which will make it into the Homer area. The strong winds originating out of Kamishak Bay will bring Gale force winds to Kachemak Bay. This pattern can sometimes cause significant blowing snow conditions in Homer and the amount of snowfall will dictate how low the visibility will get. While temperatures currently are hovering near freezing, which will keep blowing snow down, colder air will arrive with the winds and make snow easier to blow around. The big reason that we are leaning for less snow (and therefore not significant blowing snow) is the track of the low. For it to really get the winds and snow cranking at the same time, the low should track along the eastern Kenai Peninsula into Prince William Sound and this one came into the Sound from near Cordova. However, it is still worth keeping an eye on conditions around Homer and Kachemak Bay today even if it is not an ideal setup for a blowing snow event. POPs were increased for Wednesday night in a swath from Seward through Talkeetna, including the Anchorage and Matanuska Valley. Both the NAM and GFS models are showing a deformation zone developing which would bring in some snowfall. Kept the POPs right at the 50 percent mark however due to the fact that deformation zones are long and narrow and a small change in the track will keep these areas precipitation free. The location this deformation zone develops will be dependent on the cold upper level low digging into the Bristol Bay region. Since this is a large feature and models are more likely to resolve it well, in stark contrast to most of the features we have been working with recently, it increases the chances that the two models both showing it may be right. We will have to wait for a few more runs to show whether we expect this to turn into a snow event or just fizzle out. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today through Thursday Night)... The low pressure system causing the banding that brought widespread snow and blowing snow to the Kuskokwim Delta yesterday and overnight last night is finally weakening as it shifts off to the north and east. Expect winds to remain elevated across the Kuskokwim Delta today, leading to localized reductions in visibility in exposed open areas from the blowing snow. Otherwise, things will continue quieting down in that region. The Winter Weather Advisory for that area has been cancelled. Further east, snow showers are continuing across Bristol Bay, every so often mixing with freezing rain right at the coast. However, with cold air quickly moving in, snow is expected from here on out. The banding causing the snow will gradually drift northward through the day today, becoming confined to just the Lower Kuskokwim Valley by this afternoon. Light snow will persist in the Lower Kuskokwim Valley into tonight, though snowfall rates should remain light. Snow shower activity across the eastern Bering will continue to impact coastal communities throughout the day into Wednesday. A small Arctic low will develop over Norton Sound this afternoon and will slowly drift southward into the Kuskokwim Delta by Thursday morning. Snow shower activity with this low will mostly remain along and off the coast, but when the center is located just north of the Kuskokwim Delta on Wednesday, onshore flow may enhance activity across the region. Any snow showers may briefly be heavy, but will not be long lasting or result in significant accumulations. On Thursday afternoon, the center of the low will shift south into Bristol Bay and then eventually dissipate as it moves into the Aleutian Mountains/Alaska Range Thursday night. This will allow for an offshore wind to develop as a strong low tracks well south of the Alaska Peninsula late Thursday night. The offshore wind may finally allow the clouds to clear out some. Behind the low, a reinforcing shot of even colder air will make its way into Southwest Alaska. Since through Thursday afternoon, cloud cover is expected to keep temperatures relatively warm with the low pressure system nearby; once the low dissipates and the clouds follow, the clear skies will allow temperatures to plummet area- wide. Thus, temperatures have been nudged up through Thursday with highs in the single digits to the north and teens to the south, and lows not too much lower than that. By Thursday night, lows are expected to drop well below zero over the Kuskokwim Delta with lows near zero further east. Highs will be in the teens to around 20 along the coast. Looking ahead, Arctic high pressure building in the interior with a storm track well south of the area will make for clear skies, which will allow for some of the coldest temperatures of the winter so far to move into all of Southwest Alaska. Lows Friday night and Saturday night are expected to dip south of 10 below for many areas away from the coast. Bundle up! && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Today through Friday)... Relatively quiet weather is expected for much of the Bering through the short-term forecast period. A low along the west coast will keep a steady stream of increasingly colder air moving south across much of the Bering today right through Friday. Somewhat warmer air will remain along and south of the Aleutians. That gradient in temperature along the Aleutians will keep the main storm track south of the chain. However, a series of small mesoscale-lows are expected to form near the Aleutians today and Wednesday, resulting in snow to the north of the chain, and a rain/snow mix to the south. Any associated snow will be short-lived, but winds may be gusty along with it. A strong low will approach the western and central Aleutians Thursday, but for now the worst weather is expected to remain south of the chain. Any small northward shift in the track may bring blizzard conditions to the central Aleutians, mainly from Dutch Harbor west. Those in and around Dutch Harbor should monitor future forecasts closely, primarily for the Thursday afternoon and Thursday night time frame. All of the models currently track the low well south of the Alaska Peninsula and Eastern Aleutians on Friday, so a more significant northward shift in the track would be needed for impacts to be expected there. Otherwise, seasonably cold conditions will continue across the Aleutians through Friday with snow showers in gusty north winds continuing for most of the Bering. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)... The long range forecast remains active across area waters as the jet stream ushers storm systems along the Aleutian Chain to the Gulf of Alaska. Inland locations across the southern mainland will mainly be drier with cold air advecting the coolest temperatures of the season for the end of the week. The next significant storm system to monitor develops across the North Pacific Thursday night bringing gusty easterly gales for the Aleutian Chain. This system keeps a fast paced easterly track, but looks to move south enough to keep significant impacts away from the Alaska Peninsula. Models differ in timing and track on this system as it progresses eastward, however they all lift it toward the Gulf Friday night. The synoptic pattern amplifies over the weekend with a ridge to the east and west of this storm system. This will likely slowly the northward progress of the front through the weekend. There is high uncertainty in the forecast this weekend into early next week as models struggle with the evolution of this storm solution. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
