Area forecast discussion, Oct 12, 4:47 PM AKDT, 11 hours 3 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 447 PM AKDT Sat Oct 12 2019 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... Skies have cleared across much of the southern Mainland as broad offshore flow develops in the wake of a southeast retreating low over the eastern Gulf. Strongest gap flows to 35 kt were evident across the northern and western Gulf. Satellite imagery shows a developing low and associated front over the North Pacific heading north toward the Alaska Peninsula. Satellite imagery also shows a fairly disorganized surface low southwest of the Pribilof islands. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The Models overall have a similar broad synoptic handling of surface features, particularity the remnants of Hagibis, through Monday morning. The Canadian NH becomes a significant outlier as it drops the remnants of Hagibis south of the Aleutians Tuesday, while the remainder of the model suites move it north. Otherwise, will lean toward the GFS with this feature (Hagibis) for consistency. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... Northwest flow aloft and offshore flow at the low levels along the coast is supporting the stunning fall afternoon that has enveloped the region. Offshore flow weakens tonight as high pressure takes over, thus expect much cooler temps tonight as inversions develop with clear skies. A front will move into the Southern Gulf of Alaska bringing gales and rain to Kodiak by Sun night and Monday, but high pressure and clear skies continue to dominate into early next week. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2...Sun and Mon)... A rather benign weather pattern will persist for the end of the weekend and start of the week. A weak area of high pressure will move through the area tonight into Sun keeping the area dry and mostly clear. We can't rule out some patchy fog Sun AM, especially along river valleys. During the day Sun, a North Pacific low will slide closer to Kodiak Island as it strengthens. The net effect for much of SW AK will be an increase in offshore/NE winds. These winds will reinforce the dry conditions as they pull air from the Interior portions of AK. The Alaska Peninsula will be clipped by this system as it pivots through the area. Winds will reach into the 20-30 mph range along the peninsula with the best chances for rain on the southern side late Sun afternoon and evening. A much stronger system will be pushing through the Bering on Mon. It will start to brush up against the West coast by Mon afternoon bringing a sharp switch to gusty south-southeast winds. Clouds will be on the increase through the day as well with rain moving in by the evening timeframe. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2...Sun and Mon)... The remnants of Typhoon Hagibis continue to be the big story for the Bering and Aleutians as we move into the early part of the week. First, there is one weak low bringing some showers to the Eastern Aleutians and the Pribilof Islands this evening. This feature will merge with a developing North Pacific system heading into Sun. This will keep light rain falling from Dutch Harbor to Sand Point through most of Sun before the system pulls away into the Gulf of AK Sun night. The forecast envelope is starting to narrow for the track and strength of Hagibis as we move into Sun night and Mon. The biggest change to this forecast package is to shift the low slightly to the north as the models continue to develop a consensus. As it makes the extra-tropical transition, it will tap into some cold air over Siberia on Mon. This will allow the surface pressure to drop into the mid 950 mb range Mon morning. The surface pressure gradient will tighten up during this time and allow for some hurricane-force winds to wrap around the western side of the low. These winds look to primarily impact the marine areas and hold to the north of the Aleutian Chain. However, there will still be a chance of some localized hurricane-force gusts for the Central Aleutians to include Atka and Adak. There will be plenty of rain associated with this storm as well. With strong upper level support and some low level cold air advection, the system will be able to maintain its intensity for quite some time. It will slowly track to the north-northeast and allow for the waves to continue to build into Tue. We have increased the peak wave heights by about 5 ft early Tue morning with this forecast package. Please see the Marine Weather Statement and the Coastal Waters Forecast for more details on this storm. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5)... Bering Sea/Aleutians: Post-tropical cyclone Hagibis will begin to fill and exit to the northern Bering Tuesday. Thus, while storm force winds will initially be widespread in the Bering (with a broad swath of gales elsewhere), winds will diminish during the day. While models have come into better agreement with the track of former Hagibis, there is still a lot of uncertainty with what comes after. The main theme is that either a short wave or a closed low will develop near the western Aleutians late Tuesday. This feature will track eastward across the Bering just north of the Aleutians late Tuesday into Wednesday. Increased winds are expected, but the strength will depend on whether a closed low forms... so for now, the range of possibilities span from low end gales to storm force winds. As the cold air mass behind the associated front moves across the warmer SSTs of the Bering, instability will increase, thus isolated thunderstorms look possible over the southern Bering Sea Wednesday. Winds will diminish Thursday and general cyclonic flow will prevail in the Bering. Gulf of Alaska: Easterly winds in the northern Gulf will diminish Monday into Tuesday. The forecast in the Gulf becomes murky by Wednesday. General low pressure is expected with winds mostly below advisory level... however small craft advisory level swell- driven seas will likely persist. Late Wednesday, an upper low will cross the AKPEN then redevelop a surface low in the Gulf early Thursday. High uncertainty continues with this setup, but assuming this low comes to fruition, expect increased winds and precipitation in the periphery of the low. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The excitement in the long term continues to be focused in the Bering Sea and Aleutians. As post-tropical cyclone Hagibis exits to the northern Bering Tuesday, focus turns to what happens in its wake. Model consistency remains poor, but the general theme is that either a short wave or a deeper closed low will develop in the baroclinic zone under a 160 to 170kt jet. It will traverse the southern Bering (just north of the Aleutians) from west to east and likely bring a brief return of gales to the Aleutians/ southern Bering. Isolated thunderstorms are possible behind the associated front Wednesday as modified Arctic air flows over relatively warm water. Meanwhile, due to the track of the former typhoon, impacts over the Southwest mainland look minimal. As the system shifts northward, it will push a cold front across the Aleutians into the west coast in the rough Tuesday to Wednesday time frame. Precipitation will be possible along the west coast, and increased southerly winds are expected. However, it's worth noting that the front will have significantly weakened by the time it reaches the mainland. Thus, while the Kuskokwim Delta Coast could see gusts above 40kt, warning level winds are not expected. In the Wednesday to Thursday timeframe, precipitation in the Bristol Bay area will be possible as the other low/short wave moves into the coast... but confidence is poor given the inconsistency in that feature. Friday into Saturday, longwave troughing will set in from the central Pacific into the Bering. Expect cloudier weather and general southerly flow over Southwest. Models indicate shortwaves will likely rotate around the low bringing periods of unsettled weather, but it's way too soon to get into timing/location specifics. Over Southcentral, generally dry weather is expected through midweek. High pressure will persist over northern Alaska, and cold conditions inland with offshore winds will dominate through midweek. With this scenario, increased winds are likely in the usual gaps, including Thompson Pass and the Matanuska Valley. A series of fronts will move from the Gulf northward. This will potentially bring precipitation to the North Gulf Coast, but generally expect precipitation to stay over the marine area. During the later part of the week, the ridge will retrograde to the north. A wetter, or at least cloudier pattern is possible and overnight lows won't be quite as cold as earlier in the week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...NONE.
