Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
711 AM AKDT Sat Mar 31 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Water Vapor satellite imagery shows a broad ridge spanning over
the Bering and western Alaska. A split flow pattern is over the
eastern part of the state with a ridge centered over the northern
Yukon and a low over the eastern Gulf of Alaska. Offshore flow
winds are fairly light across the southern mainland as the
pressure gradient remains slack between a surface ridge moving to
the west coast and the low in the east gulf. To the west across
the Bering, low level moisture is streaming around the ridge
perimeter with dense fog along the coast of the Kuskokwim Delta.
Winds across the Bering are generally out of the east with gusty
flow increasing over the Central Aleutians.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in good agreement for the short range forecast running
through Monday night. The higher resolution of the Namnest/NAM
was used to make updates as it best captured gusty outflow winds
along the gulf coastal gap locations and the stronger flow
surrounding the North Pacific front moving to the Aleutians.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist through the
next TAF package.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

Mostly clear skies are starting off the day over just about all
of Southcentral Alaska with surface high pressure to the west and
a low in the southeast Gulf of Alaska. An upper level short wave
will enter the northern half of the area this afternoon and
increase clouds for the afternoon and tonight. This wave is
moving through fairly quick so there should be sunny skies moving
into the area again by tomorrow.

Winds are an interesting feature as the outflow winds along the
north Gulf coast will persist due to the surface pressure pattern
remaining the same. However, after the short wave moves through
the area tomorrow there will be some upper level support building
into Southcentral Alaska which will increase winds some. The area
most likely to see a big difference in in the Matanuska Valley
where winds will begin to increase Sunday afternoon and continue
with gusty winds Sunday night into Monday. Morning forecasts have
significantly stronger winds for the Matanuska Valley Sunday
through Monday than the previous packages.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

A large upper level ridge will continue to build in over the
Eastern Bering and Western Alaska today becoming the dominate the
weather feature over the next couple of days leading to pleasant
weather for the Easter weekend. A weak system will drop north from
the Arctic and skirt east as it runs into the dominate area of
high pressure, bringing showers to the Alaska Range with only
brief period of cloud cover to the upper Kuskokwim River Valley
this afternoon. On Sunday, the ridge center will continue drifting
north and east bringing even warmer temperatures, with most
locations warming into the 40's during the day. Dry northeasterly
flow will increase Sunday afternoon through the Kuskokwim Delta
and River Valley as the pressure gradient tightens between the
surface high and a low pressure system over the North Pacific.
This will lead to some localized gusty winds for locations like
Bethel, Dillingham, and New Stuyahok.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

A large blocking high over the Bering will shift to the north and
east today allowing a North Pacific frontal system to rotate up
towards the Aleutians. This will tighten the pressure gradient
between itself and the ridge, bringing some precipitation and
easterly gales to the central and eastern Aleutians as well as the
southern most portions of the Bering. Precipitation will be
focused from near Dutch Harbor and west, though models are
struggling with the exact location of the precipitation edge and
whether Dutch Harbor will get several inches of rain or none. The
long fetch easterly winds from this system will lead to increasing
wave heights on the Pacific side of the Central Aleutians, with
waves increasing to above 20 ft this afternoon through tomorrow
morning.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...
The long term forecast begins Sunday night with high pressure at
the surface and aloft extending from the Bering Strait through
western Alaska into the southwest Gulf of Alaska. Low pressure at
the surface and aloft is south of the Aleutians. The upper level
ridge will hold over the Bering Sea retrograding west Tuesday as a
deep upper trough pushes into the interior Tuesday night. This
upper low then moves to the eastern Bering Sea through Friday.
The surface low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska will move
northwest into the eastern Bering Sea beginning Wednesday.

The models remain in agreement with the establishment of a weak
outflow pattern along the coastal mountains Sunday through
Tuesday.

Model guidance has improved slightly for the latter part of next
week, though uncertainty remains and we will continue to proceed
with the ensemble solution for now.
