Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 428 PM AKST Wed Jan 3 2018 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A weak surface low over Prince William Sound this morning is headed inland while a negatively tilted upper level short-wave trough over the northwest Gulf lifts very slowly northward across the Kenai Peninsula. In the low levels, colder air is slowly advecting in behind the low changing precipitation from rain to snow across much of the region. The light winds and weak cold advection up Cook Inlet is ideal for snow in Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley, and sure enough Kenai radar imagery shows steady snow focused over this area. Weak cyclonic flow and low level instability are producing scattered snow showers over Southwest Alaska while weak onshore flow is also leading to areas of low clouds and patchy fog. Focus for the next couple of days will shift out west, where a very large mature low is spinning south of the western Aleutians. The upper jet is well to the south, leaving the main low center in weak flow, tracking slowly northward toward the Aleutians. A triple point low has formed farther east and is also lifting northward. All this is leading to strengthening winds and precip along the Aleutians. Precip started as snow this morning, but as winds strengthen temps will quickly rise and lead to a change to rain. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models finally have a good handle on upper level short-wave trough lifting across Southcentral this through tonight, so can now fine-tune snow amounts with some confidence. Meanwhile, guidance has converged on a common solution for handling of multiple lows out west, with juts minor differences in track and progression of frontal boundaries toward the mainland. Thus, overall forecast confidence is above average. && .AVIATION... PANC...Expect a period of IFR conditions in the heaviest snow this afternoon, but quickly reverting back to MVFR as snow lightens up during the evening. There is a chance that enough warm air could mix precipitation for a short time before the snow ends as well. Conditions may improve further as snow ends, but think this would be short- lived. The fact that there never is an upper level trough passage and low level flow goes slack overnight favors a stratus deck setting up in the entire Cook Inlet region. If there is a stratus deck, that will at least limit fog development. Forecast confidence is low, but have indicated a downward trend in ceiling overnight. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA... The slow moving upper level wave that is pushing through Southcentral Alaska will continue to bring snow through the evening before tapering off early Thursday morning. High pressure will then build in bringing colder temps back to the area. On Friday a front will approach from the south and bring warm air and rain to Kodiak before tracking further north. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2...Wed and Thu)... A quick break in the weather is still in the forecast Thursday for Southwest Alaska, with a return to more seasonable temperatures. A bit of fog was around this afternoon, but as we move into the evening and the flow becomes more offshore, this should be less of an issue. Thursday evening winds will begin to pick up along the coast as a front approaches from the west. The main front will remain offshore, so no significant weather is expected until the second front approaches on Friday. This second front brings more precipitation to Southwest Alaska, but it looks like temperatures will warm up rapidly with the front, so snowfall is expected to be minimal for the outer coast. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2...Wed and Thu)... Weather in the Bering Sea is expected to get increasingly stormy through the forecast period. Although temperatures in the northern Bering are still cold enough for snow, an approaching front in the Central Aleutians is already pumping warm air up from the south. As this front moves into the Bering, winds across the region will increase to gale force and seas will increase to 15 feet in some regions. This front moves into the northern Bering on Thursday and is just a precursor to the front associated with the triple point low moving in on Thursday afternoon. This next system will increase the winds from gales to storms in the eastern Bering. More precipitation is also expected with this front, but with increasingly warm air, it is expected to fall as rain. The triple point low will move westward Friday and tap into the cold air coming off Russia, which will allow the low to intensify. This won't have too much effect on the front that is in the eastern Bering by that time, but it will allow cold air to bring gale force winds and snow showers to the Western Aleutians Friday afternoon. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The most impactful weather this weekend will be centered around the Gulf as a weak low near Kodiak Island moves northward and dissipates near the Eastern Kenai Peninsula. This is a feature that the models have consistently been trending weaker with since Monday, and is now expected to remain below gale force and bring precipitation generally to the Gulf Coast. Depending on the exact low track, there is an outside chance snow could move into Southcentral on Sunday as downsloping no longer is expected to be significant along the Chugach Mountains. For now this will remain as just a chance of snow, however if the models begin trending further west (such as the latest GFS) these chances may need to be increased. Much more quiet weather is then expected to move over the Southern Mainland for early next week as confidence remains very good in widespread ridging, producing clearing skies and cooler temperatures. This ridging will move over the area as storminess returns to the Aleutians/Bering, beginning with the gale force low projected to move into the area late Sun-Mon. This pattern is expected to continue into the middle of next week as a broad trough sets up over the Bering with ridging over the South Mainland. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...None.
