Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 1:57 PM AKDT, 14 hours 18 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 157 PM AKDT Sat Aug 11 2018 .DISCUSSION... Synopsis...An overall pattern change is expected through the weekend and into next week, as the remnants of Typhoon Shanshan enter the forecast area Sunday through Tuesday. This will bring increasingly wetter conditions across the West Coast and Western Interior, with locally heavy rainfall possible for the western Interior. Winds will strengthen across the West Coast and portions of the Western Interior as well. Across the Alaska Range strong southerly Chinook winds are expected to develop Sunday and continue into Monday morning. Aloft...Models in fairly good agreement through 84 hours. A broad long wave trough remains over the Bering Sea today containing a 540 dam center over the Gulf of Anadyr. A 588 dam center of high pressure is over the North Pacific extending inland over the Interior. The remnants of Shanshan will move into Bristol Bay early Sunday morning as a 540 dam low. As the low moves inland, the ridging over the North Pacific will deepen and shift to the east as well. Shanshan low will weaken in place over the western Interior on Monday. The entire state will remain under a longwave trough through much of next week. Surface...Remnants of Shanshan as a 978 mb low will move into Bristol bay by 12Z Sunday then movenear Cape Newenham as a 979 mb low by 00Z Monday, to a 986 mb low near Marshall by 12Z Monday, and continuing to weaken and slowly move eastward Monday afternoon and Tuesday. As the remnants of Shanshan move inland, leeside troughing will develop north of the Alaska Range and deepen Sunday and Monday. A frontal boundary will stall out over the Interior and continue to produce showers for the Interior through Wednesday morning. Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...Areas of fog and stratus will continue along the eastern Arctic Coast. Shower activity this morning from Barter Island east will taper off and drier conditions are expected through Sunday. Afternoon temperatures in the 40s along the coast today and Sunday, with highs in the 50s to lower 60s inland. A weather front will move across the Arctic Coast on Tuesday into Wednesday bringing a mix of rain and snow showers to the north slope. West Coast and Western Interior...Showers will become more numerous going into Sunday and Monday as the remnants of Shanshan move across. Moisture will surge across the coast, bringing periods of heavy rainfall. Widespread rainfall accumulations of 1 inch likely, with isolated higher amounts in upslope areas. In addition to the rainfall, strong and gusty winds are likely along the coast and strong wind headlines will likely be needed. A Wind Advisory has been issued for strong southeasterly winds in zone 227 on Sunday. Northerly winds will increase to 30 to 40 mph during the afternoon on Sunday through the Bering Strait and push water towards the north coast of St Lawrence Island. A high surf advisory has been issued for zone 213 from Sunday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Central and Eastern Interior...As the remnants of Shanshan move eastward, strong southerly Chinook winds are expected to develop on Sunday for passes in the Alaska Range, continuing through Monday morning. Have upgraded the high wind watches to warnings for zones 223 225 and 226. Strong southwesterly winds are expected to develop west of Tok on Sunday as well. Rain chances will increase for the region Sunday afternoon onward, but for areas from Fairbanks south, rain chances will be a little more limited due to downsloping. A steady warm up in temperatures is expected across the Interior through Sunday as ridging aloft builds across the area, with highs pushing into the upper 60s to around 70 then cooling off again as showers become more widespread on Tuesday. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... High surf advisory has been issued for zone 213 for northeast facing coasts of St Lawrence Island, Little Diomede and Wales. Waves and surf building to 8 to 12 feet offshore with wave runup around 2 to 4 feet. FIRE WEATHER...Fire weather activity will remain low through the weekend. RH values are expected to remain above 30 percent in most areas. Lowest RH values will occur across the Yukon Flats this afternoon and may briefly touch 30 percent. Strong southerly Chinook expected to develop along the Alaska Range by Sunday afternoon and continue through midday Monday. For the latest information go to www.weather.gov/arh/fire. HYDROLOGY...Flood Advisory continues for Mile 6 Tetlin Rd with high water likely through the weekend. High water is expected on rivers in the Tanana Valley through the weekend. However, rivers have all crested and are falling across the Interior. Expect rises next week as remains of Typhoon Shanshan moves across Interior.
