Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Anchorage AK 628 AM AKDT Mon Mar 18 2019 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The overall pattern continues to be very slow to change. The highlights remain cold air over the Bering, accumulating snow over SW AK, and the continued intrusion of moderately strong storms into the Gulf of AK coast. The upper level (30,000') jet is extremely remarkable as it moves from 35N all the way through Southcentral at 135kt. It is flowing over a closed ridge of high pressure centered near British Columbia. The jet is helping to ferry an abundance of moisture and warm air from the North Pacific towards the state. Along the jet, successive areas of low pressure continue to form. While the storms themselves do not have very deep central pressure, they are forming in a favored spot to create some problems along the Gulf Coast. The first of these is heavy QPF. Most of this is falling as rain, with snow levels climbing up and above 2000' in this pattern. The second is strong winds and high seas in the barrier jet region along the coast. These have ebbed between small craft and storm-force winds. SW Alaska is caught between cold air from the Bering and this warm, moist air from Gulf of AK. The result is a deformation band that put down several inches of snow across parts of Bristol Bay and the Lower Kuskokwim Valley on Sunday. This band is still holding on over King Salmon and Aniak this morning. The Bering remains very quiet with just some cold air snow showers. A low skirting south of the chain is increasing the easterly flow across the Central Aleutians. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models remain in very good synoptic agreement. Thus, forecast confidence is high. There are still some variances with the exact location and intensity of the deformation band across Interior Bristol Bay. We used the NAMNest and hand edits to update the forecast overnight. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions will persist. Winds will be problematic today and uncertainty is fairly high in the exact timing. Southeast winds will remain gusty this morning. But there could be a brief period of down-inlet flow this afternoon before southeasterlies return tonight. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2: Tonight through Tuesday)... Precipitation (mostly rain below 2500 ft) will generally be confined to the coastal areas today as strong southeast cross-barrier flow keep most areas to the lee of the Chugach mostly dry. The precipitation pattern will change some across the Cook Inlet to MAT- SU Valley corridor tonight as a surface low moves north and an upper trough sweeps across the area. The trailing cold air looks like it will be slow to arrive and wet-bulb zero heights through midnight will likely remain high enough to keep any precipitation mainly as rain (with a mix at higher elevations). The cold air finally arrives after midnight tonight along with the upper trough so precipitation should become a mix or all snow. The current thought is that any snow accumulations should be pretty minimal at lower elevations with a couple of inches at higher elevations possible. Elsewhere, showers will continue along the coast. A weather front moving west across the Gulf of Tuesday/Tuesday night ushers warmer air back in and renews windy and wet conditions across the Gulf. This system will also bring warming temperatures, increased chances of rain and snow, and locally windy conditions to Southcentral. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... A weak surface trough and upper-level low will track north across interior southwest Alaska today. These features will continue to bring light snow across the area, with areas from the Nushagak Hills north seeing another couple of inches of new snow accumulation. The precipitation will diminish by early Tuesday morning as as a surface ridge builds over the southwest mainland, ushering in colder and drier conditions. The combination of mostly clear skies, light winds, and radiational cooling will increase the chance for fog, especially over the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay region Monday night into early Tuesday morning. The next surface low then moves northwest from the Gulf of Alaska to Kodiak Island late Tuesday, pushing a front over the AKPEN and Bristol Bay. Snow will develop over Bristol Bay and the Nushagak Hills by Wednesday morning and spread northwest to the Y-K Delta by late Wednesday afternoon. A strong southeasterly downslope wind in association with the front will limit precipitation along the lee of the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges while warmer air advecting in aloft will help change the snow to rain/snow mix. For areas from Dillingham and Sleetmute on west, enough cold air will remain in place for the precipitation to remain all snow. At this time, accumulations are expected to be light, on the order of 3 to 6 inches; however, a strong pressure gradient between the northward advancing low and the retreating ridge will bring gusty northeasterly winds along the front, producing areas of blowing snow with this event. The front then stalls over the Y-K Delta Wednesday night, with light snow continuing along the boundary into Thursday as the parent low weakens and drifts toward the eastern Aleutians. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)... A surface ridge over the central Bering will keep conditions rather tranquil through midweek. The exception will be the chance for scattered snow showers today as a weak upper-level shortwave slides over the ridge. Elsewhere, a low well south of Atka will continue to move east today, stalling south of Unalaska Tuesday with minimal impacts for the central Aleutians. A ridge will build back in over the western Aleutians in the wake of this low. This ridge will then slide to the northeast as a Kamchatka low moves west of Shemya, lifting a front across the western Aleutians on Wednesday. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5, Wednesday through Friday)... ...Bering Sea/Aleutians... There is increasing confidence of northeasterly gales developing over the eastern half of the Bering on Wednesday through Friday as a series of lows track south to north over SW Alaska and the AKPEN. Right now, there is more uncertainty regarding the exact location and strength of the winds on Wednesday/early Thursday due to model disagreement of the surface low moving over the AKPEN. Model guidance shows better agreement with a stronger low moving towards the AKPEN on Friday, thus more confidence that there will be northeasterly gales developing from the Pribilofs east. Looking towards the end of Friday, there is decent agreement that a storm force low will push across the western Bering/Aleutians. ...Gulf of Alaska... Wind and wave heights are expected to subside through the day on Wednesday as the region will be in between systems. There is increasing confidence that a gale force low will enter the Gulf by Thursday with easterly gale force winds spreading across most of the region on Thursday and Friday. Wave heights in excess of 20-25 ft are also likely by Friday with increasing long fetch winds from the east and eventually south/southeast. Storm force winds could also develop near the North Gulf coast Thursday and Friday during this time associated with an easterly barrier jet. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7, Wednesday through Sunday)... Not much change is expected in the longwave pattern this week with persistent and strong southerly flow over the Gulf supporting a barrage of lows over the southern mainland. These lows will continue to tap into subtropical moisture leading to very heavy precipitation over the coast. Models show total liquid precipitation amounts over the coastal mountains along Prince William Sound approaching 10 inches through the end of the week. The southerly flow will also pump in warm air with snow levels hoovering between 1500 and 2500 ft. Strong cross barrier flow (from the east) will continue to promote downsloping for locations on the west side of the mountains, including the western Kenai, Anchorage, and the Mat-Su. Weather in these locations will be cloudy but mostly dry with temperatures well above normal, climbing into the 40s each day. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...NONE.
