Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
514 PM AKST Fri Dec 14 2018

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

The upper level pattern is dominated by three different upper
level lows spread across the Alaskan domain this afternoon. The
low that is most apparent to weather across southwest and
southcentral Alaska is south of Kodiak Island. This low continues
to be fueled by a strong, but weakening, 150 knot jet sliding to
the east. The trend of this low has shown it strengthen over the
last week. Attached to it is a front that stretches to the
northeast and is bringing snow showers to the coastal locations.
As of the noon hour, radar shows the front draped across the outer
Prince William Sound region, with open cell convection in the
unstable airmass to it's south. Out west, along the YK Delta, off
shore flow and persistent northerly support have allowed
temperatures to reach the negative teens to twenties.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
For the first time in a while, the models seem to be in incredible
synoptic agreement for the first three days. All major models have
similar timing and intensity for the low south of Kodiak, as well
as a low set to traverse the western Aleutians late this weekend.
Differences begin to show with the finer details late Sunday and
onward. Each has a varying amount of movement to this low,
bringing it on land anywhere from Gore Point to Whittier. Those
differences all play out on the sensible weather expected at that
time.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...VFR conditions are expected to deteriorate this afternoon
and into the overnight hours. Snow should be starting at the
terminal near 02z, with vis and cig conditions lowering to MVFR.
Heavier snow should arrive a few hours beyond that time with IFR
vis and cigs through the overnight hour. Conditions should
improve beyond 10z as the frontal system slides to the NW.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2... Friday
night through Sunday afternoon)...

Another round of snow is in store for the Anchorage Bowl and Cook
Inlet region tonight as a front from a Gulf low moves north this
afternoon. This strong low has pushed the upper level ridging
further eastward over the ALCAN border. Snow will continue to
fall this evening, with heaviest snow amounts expected from 6pm
tonight through 11pm, tapering off in the early morning hours on
Saturday. Exact accumulations across the area have been hotly
debated. The models (including the hi-resolution models) have
struggled from run to run. Typically, warm-front overrunning
scenarios are not conducive to significant accumulations. They
often times move too fast and do not have good dendritic growth.
However, this feature/band has some impressive instability
associated with it and some jet-support at 300 mb (30,000'). This
could lead to a period of heavy snow rates. So while we are not
expecting to quite reach the winter weather advisory mark (6")
across the Anchorage Bowl, there could be a burst for a few hours
of intense snowfall. The band of snow will fan out stretching from
the northern Copper River Basin all the way through Homer. It will
track quickly from SE to NW overnight. So most places across
Southcentral will wake up to several fresh inches of snow on
Saturday.

Kodiak will continue to see precipitation through Saturday night.
Temperatures should keep precipitation type as snow early in the
forecast period, but likely to switch to rain for a brief stretch
on Saturday afternoon, transitioning back to snow that night.

The active pattern will continue heading through the weekend.
First, a storm-force front will bring hazardous conditions to much
of the Gulf of AK on Sat into Sun. This front realigns early Sun
as another mid-960 mb range low pivots through the Gulf. This
looks to push the front into the coast by Sun afternoon bringing
another round of precipitation to Southern AK. At this point,
models are hinting at a fair amount of warm air coming up with
this system, so precipitation-type will likely prove challenging
again. However, with enough cold air entrenched inland, interior
locations should see mostly snow. Stay tuned.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Friday
night through Monday)...
The forecast is still focused to two things for Southwest Alaska,
the deformation zone over the western Alaska range and the cold
temperatures for the rest of the area.

The deformation zone will cross the Alaska Range and then park
over eastern 152 and 161 the next couple of days. This will
produce up to six inches of snow for the area. Snow accumulation
will be slow and steady and highest accumulations will be in very
remote areas, so not concerned about issuing an advisory.

Cold air is still funneling down the the north side of the Alaska
Range and into the Kuskokwim Valley. Took another look at the
possibility of wind chill advisory. We will fall just shy of
criteria along the coast, but it will still be breezy and quite
cold, with wind chills in the -30s in some spots. So be advised
its still quite cold even without the advisory.

Maximum temperatures were lower than forecast for today, so
lowered max temps the next couple of days. Also thinking the cold
air will hang around a bit longer than initially expected, as
there is really nothing in the forecast to force the cold out of
the area, which is generally needed to really warm things up. Lined
cloud cover up to reflect this change, which models are also going
for. One tricky part of this forecast is for areas like Sleetmute
and other places right along the border of the deformation zone.
The deformation zone should warm temperatures under it, so where
cloud cover sets up will determine how cold it gets, so its
possible that edge of cold temperatures could wobble a bit. This
and windchill is something we will need to keep an eye on.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3/Friday
night through Monday)... Pretty quiet weather in the Bering Sea
for the next few days. Today a quick moving polar low transited
the Bering that was embedded in the northerly flow. It was was
nothing more than an interesting feature to watch, as it had no
impact.

The broad low that has been working its way east south of the
Aleutians is about done impacting the Aleutians Islands. The
eastern Aleutians will see some windy conditions and snow showers
tonight, but that's about it. Behind this low northerly flow is
pushing south past the islands into the North Pacific. High pressure
is expected to build in over the central Aleutians, while a low
to the south of the Western Aleutians will produce some small
craft advisories. Otherwise, quiet weather for the area.

&&

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

The forecast period commences with the longwave trough extending
from western Alaska to the Gulf Of Alaska. Meanwhile upstream
there is a high amplitude ridge that spans from the Western
Bering to the North Pacific. As the forecast period elapses,
a vortex of bitterly cold air will descend from Siberia and the
longwave pattern will become more amplified. The deterministic
models have depicted a series of lows impacting the Aleutians, the
Gulf of Alaska and the Prince William Sound. Tuesday 12z the GFS
and the ECMWF have a surface low in the Gulf Of Alaska, a dome of
high pressure south of Adak and a potent low southwest of Attu
Island. By Wednesday, the global models have already diverged
substantially. This forecast package reflects a blend of WPC
guidance and some hedging between operational models.
