Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
435 PM AKST Fri Dec 21 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A vertically stacked low is spinning southeast of Kodiak Island
this afternoon. This low is pushing a subtle occluded front over
the northern Gulf and the Kenai Peninsula. Instability along the
front is the main factor for the showery conditions over the
northern Gulf, Prince William Sound and eastern Kenai Peninsula.
Along the northern coastline, weak upper level ridging is
occurring which is cutting off the moisture feed from moving
farther inland. In addition, low level easterly flow through
Southcentral is keeping the western Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage
area fairly dry. On the backside of the low, offshore flow
continues to advect cold air over the western mainland and
maintain drier conditions. A second vertically stacked low is
positioned over Shemya and is migrating southwestward. This low
is producing a front over the western Aleutians and is increasing
the gusty easterly winds in the area. Between these two lows,
weather is fairly benign as a surface ridge builds over the
central Aleutians. Gusty conditions persist through the Bering.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models overall adequately capture the synoptic pattern through
Monday across the Gulf and Southcentral. Out west (Aleutians,
Southwest Mainland, and Bering Sea), models have a general
handle on the synoptic pattern. The ECMWF however appears to
be an outlier with bringing the surface low south of the central
too far north Sunday afternoon. For now will tend to trend closer
to the GFS/NAM solutions.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...Generally VFR conditions should prevail. North winds will
increase some tonight, but should hold below 15 kt.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...

A shortwave trough draped across the southcentral coast will
continue to produce more snow across portions of Prince William
Sound and the eastern Kenai Peninsula this evening. As this trough
lifts north tomorrow morning, a second shortwave and associated
surface front will approach the coast from the northern Gulf. A
persistent east-southeasterly flow will advect more moisture
across the coast, with another shot of widespread snow for western
Prince William Sound and the windward side of the Kenai and
Chugach Mountains. Warmer air will also advect in from the south,
changing the snow to rain along the immediate coast. Precipitation
type for sheltered locations within Prince William Sound (e.g.
Valdez and Whittier) look to remain all snow, albeit a heavy, wet
snow, as a more easterly flow will help limit the amount of warmer
air advecting into these locations. Areas along the Kenai
Peninsula (e.g. Seward) are expected to see a transition to a mix
of rain and snow, and potentially to all rain, but not before a
couple of inches of snow accumulate. Precipitation will come to
an end from north to south late Saturday night into Sunday as the
low center southeast of Kodiak Island retrogrades back to the west
before quickly sliding across the Gulf for late Sunday. Outflow
winds will ramp up over the Copper River Delta, along the
Thompson Pass, and in the passes around eastern Prince William
Sound Sunday into Monday as the low approaches Yakutat and the
pressure gradient between it and cold, high pressure over the
interior increases.

Precipitation with both of these systems will be limited along
the lee of the Kenai and Chugach Mountains (e.g. Anchorage Bowl)
due to the downslope component to the east-southeasterly winds
aloft.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Friday
Night through Monday)...

Southwest Alaska remains in a stagnant pattern with cold
northeasterly flow persisting due to a surface low located to the
south with a ridge parked to the west over the Bering. A weak
short wave trough will swing west across the AKPEN and Bristol
Bay coast this evening bringing a quick shot of light snow to the
area. Besides that, the region will remain cold and dry through
the weekend with continued offshore flow. The low south of Kodiak
will drift north some over the weekend bringing snow showers to
the Alaska Range (mostly on the east side) and somewhat milder
air. This will help to shunt the coldest air to the north allowing
temperatures to warm slightly, with above zero readings expected
for interior locations and teens to even low 20's for more coastal
areas. By Monday, the low slowly drifts off to the east allowing
colder air to filter back into Southwest AK.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3/Friday
through Sunday)...

High pressure will dominate the eastern half of the Bering Sea and
Aleutians through at least early next week leading to fairly quiet
weather over the area. A weak short wave trough will rotate west
across the Western AKPEN and Eastern Aleutians tonight through
tomorrow morning bringing some light precipitation to those
areas. Cold air will continue to stream south across the Eastern
Bering which should help to keep precipitation mostly snow on the
Bering side of the island chain, while warmer air will lead to
rain or mixed precip on the Pacific side. The bulk of the precip
should taper off by tomorrow night with only showers lingering
over the mountains.

Further west, a 980 mb surface low will swing a front across the
Western Aleutians and Bering tonight while bringing a quick shot
of storm force winds to the waters near Attu and Shemya this
evening as the low center passes over those locations before
retrograding west back into the open Pacific. Southerly flow on
the east side of the low will keep temperatures warmer while
various shortwaves rotating around the parent low will keep rain
showers over the area through the weekend.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)...

At the onset of the forecast period there are a series of surface
lows from the North Pacific to the Sea Of Okhotsk. At 18z Tuesday,
the first low is south of the AKPEN, the second low is southwest
of Adak and the third low is near Kamchatka. Additionally, at the
surface there is a dome of high pressure over Eastern Siberia.
The GFS, ECMWF and the Canadian all ping into these synoptic features
but even at the onset of the forecast period the location of the
surface low with each storm is offset. As time elapses and these
storms move eastward, the lack of synchronicity increases. High
confidence that the southern tier of Alaska will be in a prolonged
wet pattern. But it is too difficult to nail down the timing of
the precipitation shields associated with each cyclone. The two
biggest items of concern are determining whether these events will
be straight snow or a wintry mix.
