Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 9:18 AM AKDT, 6 hours 19 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Anchorage AK 918 AM AKDT Wed Jun 20 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The pattern remains in a persistent synoptic regime featuring a stationary upper level trough over the eastern Bering Sea with a strong upper high over Western Canada and Yukon. This pattern keeps Southern Alaska under the influence of continued onshore flow, bringing in coastal showers and clouds, especially for locations west of Prince William Sound. At the base of the trough, there is a weak low tapping some subtropical moisture around 50N. This low will usher in more clouds and rain into Southwest today, with the trough axis lifting north into Southcentral Thursday. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The models are in excellent agreement with the general synoptic scale pattern through the weekend. In general, the trough over the eastern Bering Sea will slowly weaken with a drying trend across Southern Alaska heading into the weekend. The challenges will revolve around more local scale patterns. For this forecast the hi-res models were favored. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions will persist. Some southeast winds may move over the terminal this evening into the overnight hours, but should be much less than past days with winds only being in the 10 to 18 kt range. Showers this morning should end quickly with dry conditions expected thereafter. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA... An upper level disturbance over the west coast will continue to bring areas of clouds and showers to most areas west of the Copper River Basin today. While a majority of these showers should occur from the Western Gulf into the Southern Kenai, isolated showers should continue for most of the day today as far east as the Matanuska Valley. Further to the east over the Copper River Basin conditions should be much drier and warmer today as a ridge of high pressure noses in from the east, bring temperatures this afternoon well into the 70's with gusty southerly winds along the Copper River. Starting on Thursday a shortwave moving through the Gulf will spread these showers into most of Southcentral, especially during the afternoon-evening as daytime heating causes showers forming over the Chugach to move northward in the southerly flow aloft. Cyclonic southerly flow behind then shortwave will then bring continued mostly cloudy skies and rain showers into Friday, however these are expected to be much less organized, allowing for more breaks in the sun and clouds with warming temperatures. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Under the cyclonic flow of the low over the eastern Bering and small troughs rotating around it, showery conditions and moist southeasterly flow will remain over much of the southwest Mainland through Thursday afternoon. This system will phase with a fast approaching disturbance from the North Pacific, and redevelop over the Northern Bering Thursday afternoon through Friday night while slowly tracking westward. This system's new position over the Bering will shift the pattern to a more onshore/southwesterly flow pattern, feeding moisture into the area and causing some breaks in cloud coverage. This will cause some scattered convective showers to develop over the area Friday afternoon. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... The upper level low centered over the Eastern Bering, Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay area will remain in that general location through Thursday before beginning to drift north Thursday night and Friday. At the surface, the Eastern Bering low will phase with a weaker North Pacific system speeding through the Southwest Mainland, and redevelop over the Northern Bering Thursday afternoon through Friday night. Meanwhile the western half of the Bering remains under stable high pressure through Friday, with fog and low stratus being the main impacts over the area. The ridge begins to push southward into the North Pacific Friday afternoon, as a front approaches the Western Aleutians and the above mentioned low tracks further westward into the Northcentral Bering. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)... The long term forecast begins Friday night with the persistent long-wave trough anchored over the Eastern Bering /Western Alaska. Upstream, an elongated ridge extends across the Canadian Rockies north into the Yukon and Eastern Alaska. Between the two, an upper-level shortwave is moving northward through the Gulf of Alaska. A more potent upper-level disturbance and surface low in the Northeast Pacific is continuing toward the Alaska Peninsula. Models are in fairly good agreement with the track of the low moving toward the Alaska Panhandle for the weekend. As it does, a surface ridge will lift northward across the Gulf and into Southern and Southwest Alaska for Saturday, reducing any residual onshore flow and producing a warming trend for the weekend. However, the aforementioned shortwave will also move across the region, providing enough instability to generate clouds and showers. Scattered clouds and showers continue into Sunday as a second, weaker shortwave moves through the interior of southern Alaska. The overall pattern becomes more progressive by the end of the weekend with a zonal jet stream south of the state bringing two lows across the Aleutians toward the northern Gulf. The first will slide from the Western Aleutians Saturday to the Gulf by Monday evening. The second will approach the Central Aleutians by Tuesday afternoon. Although it is still a long way out and there is significant model divergence by early next week, there is some indication that the development toward a more progressive pattern by the end of the weekend could shift the longwave pattern and kick the persistent upper-level low over the Bering to the east. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
