Area forecast discussion, May 7, 4:19 PM AKDT, 10 hours 58 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 419 PM AKDT Tue May 7 2019 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A strong and vertically stacked low center moving north along the Kuskokwim Delta Coast is slowly weakening. However, strong pressure gradients and rises on the backside of this system produced very gusty winds from Bristol Bay to the Copper River Basin. Gusts in excess of 50 mph were observed through gaps in the Aleutian Range and along Turnagain Arm. The occluded portion of the front continues to lift north and west across the western Mainland and the north Gulf Coast/Southcentral. Fairly widespread rain was evident over the north Gulf with showers, associated short waves embedded in the broad upper cyclonic flow, elsewhere. Satellite imagery shows a broad frontal zone extending from the Gulf to around 35n 160w. This will be the boundary(pathway) the next wave takes north into the Gulf tonight. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models are in much better agreement this run especially with the next rain maker for Southcentral Tonight/Wednesday. && .AVIATION... PANC...Gusty southeast winds across the airport complex will diminish late this evening. Steady rain and potential MVFR conditions are expected after midnight tonight and should continue through the morning hours Wednesday. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A re-enforcing front moves up quickly tonight keeping continuous rain across the northeast gulf coast, Prince William sound and eastern Kenai. Rain spreads inland after midnight as low level flow slackens and the next surface low tracks to Price William Sound. Rain tapers off Wednesday afternoon with showers continuing through the evening as the Bering low sends upper level waves around the gulf which then propagate north toward the Alaska Range. Much of the Gulf will see a short break in weather on Wednesday in the wake of the front. There will be a few showers as upper level waves move through. Surface flow will be relatively light out of the south. The next front moves into the Gulf early Thursday morning with the boundary expected to spread rain across Kodiak Island, the eastern Kenai and northern gulf coast by mid morning. Gusty gale force winds are expected around the core of the low that track to the western Gulf late Thursday into Friday. This low brings brings another chance for rain on Friday across Southcentral with gusty easterly flow along typical gap locations as the boundary pulls inland. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Strong east to southeast winds will increase through the morning as a surface low tracks north from the central Alaska Peninsula to the Kuskokwim Delta coast. Winds will turn southerly as the low passes by and continue through the afternoon and evening. Widespread rain in the morning will turn over to showers in the afternoon and evening with showers continuing tonight and Wednesday in the persistent moist southerly flow. Showers will taper off somewhat late Wednesday night through Thursday morning. A frontal system approaching from the southeast will spread more rain across the area Thursday afternoon through Thursday night. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... A surface low crossing the Alaska Peninsula near Port Moller early this morning with track north across western Bristol Bay to reach Cape Newenham around noon. The low will continue north along the Kuskokwim Delta coast this afternoon and evening as it gradually weakens. A broad upper level trough with an anchoring upper low center over the eastern Aleutians will persist over much of the Bering through midweek. Several other upper low centers, including the one associated with the surface low currently tracking north will rotate around the periphery of the the broader trough Tuesday night through Thursday night keeping it in place and stretched across the Bering. A developing surface low will track north into the far southwestern Gulf Thursday && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Friday through Sunday)... On Friday morning, the low inland over Southwest Alaska will continue to produce gale force winds through Bristol Bay, Shelikof Strait, and the Gulf waters east of Kodiak. The winds will subside from east to west through Friday night. There is some potential for a low to impact many of the same areas Saturday night into Sunday with an additional round of gale force winds in Shelikof Strait and the waters around Kodiak. However, there is substantial model disagreement about this system and uncertainty is high. Elsewhere, there is good confidence that no areas of high winds or waves will occur through Sunday. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Saturday through Tuesday)... The long-term forecast remains a quiet one overall across much of southern mainland Alaska. Two different features: a low moving to near Kodiak and/or Bristol Bay on Sunday, and a cold front and associated low moving across the northern Bering into the Kuskokwim Delta are both depicted by only one forecast model, and left out by the others. Thus, there is high uncertainty about whether they will impact the area at all. The low that moves through Southwest Alaska Friday will slowly depart during the day Saturday, taking most of its associated precipitation with it by Saturday night across Southwest Alaska. Disorganized shower activity will be common across most of southern mainland Alaska on Saturday and Sunday, with high pressure and quieter weather likely taking over for Monday and Tuesday. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
