Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 526 AM AKST Mon Nov 19 2018 .DISCUSSION... Synopsis... A complex of surface lows and frontal boundaries will facilitate wintery weather across much of the state over the next couple of days. Weak to moderate Chinook conditions continue for the Alaska Range, resulting in mixed freezing precipitation across the region including parts of the Tanana Valley and Fortymile country. Farther west, temperatures continue to slowly decrease and a changeover to all snow is likely by Monday evening. Across the North Slope, winds will begin to increase tonight as a front moves north from the Brooks Range. Gusty winds and blowing snow are likely, particularly east of Prudhoe Bay. A cooling trend is expected to begin by mid week for large portions of northern Alaska. Aloft 500 mb... The longwave pattern is becoming more progressive despite a stubborn ridge axis across western Canada into northeastern Alaska. This feature is moving eastward more slowly than anticipated as the trough over the eastern Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska progresses more quickly east. The result is a higher amplitude trough which continues to prolong Chinook conditions across the Alaska Range. However by early Tuesday the ridge should be displaced well into Canada, decreasing the southerly gradient and allowing the longwave trough to consume much of the state. Models... Models are beginning to show better agreement in regards to shortwave features with a 512 dam low at 500 mb centered over the Y-K Delta late Tuesday. The longwave troughing pattern will persist through late this week, but model concensus tends to fall apart quickly beyond Friday. North Slope and Brooks Range... A front will push north across the Brooks Range, reaching the Arctic coast this afternoon. Accumulations across the Brooks Range and Beaufort coast east of Utqiagvik will be generally 1 to 3 inches through Tuesday. High pressure over the high Arctic will be simultaneously reinforced as the front progresses north towards the coast. Winds will begin to increase along the Beaufort Coast this morning, particularly east of Prudhoe Bay where winds will gust to 40 mph by early afternoon. Snowfall associated with the front will reach the coast around this time, resulting in blowing snow and visibility below one half mile. A winter weather advisory has been issued accordingly for the eastern Arctic coast. The front will stall out along or just offshore from the coast, so on and off snow showers and low stratus will be likely throughout the week. West Coast and Western Interior... A 996 mb low continues to churn in the Norton Sound and will meander around this area before dropping southeast into the Gulf of Alaska Wednesday. Snow will persist across the Y-K Delta and Seward Peninsula, with rain mixing in across the immediate coastline from Cape Romanzof south. Snow showers will persist across the western Interior, particularly along a stalled frontal boundary across the western Brooks Range. Snowfall of 1 to 3 inches can be expected through Tuesday for the immediate coast south of Kivalina as well as the western Brooks Range. Lesser amounts up to an inch are likely across the lower Yukon Valley. Central and Eastern Interior... Snow is expected to develop along a stalled occluded boundary spanning McGrath to Tanana to Arctic Village this afternoon. A few areas of freezing rain will linger into the late morning along the immediate northern fringe of the Alaska Range. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for much of the region, with freezing rain being the main culprit for the Alaksa Range and Tanana Valley, and snowfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches farther north along the aforementioned boundary. A brief resurgence of the Chinook is expected this afternoon before quickly diminishing into Tuesday. Widespread snow showers will linger through the end of the week.
