Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 7:07 AM AKST, 7 hours 11 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 707 AM AKST Sat Dec 29 2018 .SYNOPSIS... ALoft... A very deep long wave trough over the Bering Sea and NW Pacific with a ridge over Western Canada will persist into early next week. A series of strong short wave troughs will move north over Northern AK over the next several days bringing periods of heavy snow and blizzard conditions to the West Coast and Western Interior and strong chinook winds to the Eastern Interior. A strong short wave now over the Western Interior will move to Point Lay to Denali this afternoon and then to Barrow to Eagle tonight. Light snow east of the trough will drop 1 inch of snow. Surface... A very deep low near just west of Adak will move into the southern Bering today. A frontal wave developing over the southeast Bering today will move to the central Bering as a 954 mb low by 3am Sun. to near St Matthew Is as a 960 m,b low by 3pm Sun and then drift NW. This will bring NE gales to the Northern Bering and Norton Sound by Sun am into Mon along with blizzard conditions and heavy snow. Heavy snow will spread over the SW interior Sun into Mon as well. Expect 6 inches of snow along the Coast with 6-10 inches inland. A Second frontal wave will move north to the YK Delta by 3am Mon and to the Seward Pen by 3pm Mon. Expect more snow with this feature. Expect south winds gusting to 70 mph along the Alaska Range Sun into Mon ahead of these systems. Do not expect freezing precip anywhere other than the Alaska Range Sun night into Mon. All models indicate Temps remaining below freezing across the SE interior other than the Alaska Range. && .DISCUSSION... Models initialize well aloft. GFS has features moving north deepen more than other models. Given that the lows are deepening in the Eastern Aleutians and Bristol Bay along a frontal system well east of the anchoring low, it is highly out of the ordinary that cold air flowing east across several thousand miles of the North Pacific would still be cold enough to allow lows to bomb out in this location. Given those reasons favor the ECMF solution, which does not deepen the surface features as much as the NAM or GFS Sun and Mon. This will have have significant impacts on winds/snow/blowing snow locations and strength for Sun and Mon. At the surface at 06Z, all models verify several mb too weak with low just north of Demarcation Point, 4 mb too weak on the low near Kotzebue, and also several mb too weak on the surface high near Northway, and on the surface high over NE Russia. This will cause west winds to be a few kt stronger today in zone 204 than models indicate, stronger winds by 5 kt around Koztebue Sounds today, a Tanana Valleys jet which is 5-10 kt strong that models indicate for this am, and winds a bit stronger over the Bering Se than models indicate today/tonight.
