Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
534 PM AKDT Thu Oct 24 2019

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A trough over southern Alaska is moving slowly eastward and
continuing to weaken. Showers continue over much of the southern
mainland, but are ending from west-to-east over Southwest Alaska.
A few thunderstorms have been observed along the north Gulf coast.
A ridge of high pressure is building behind this low over the
eastern Bering. A strong vertically stacked low with a central
surface pressure of around 956 mb is situated to the south of the
western Aleutians and moving eastward. A front associated with
this low is brining fairly strong winds and rain to the central
and western Aleutians, and the the adjacent southern Bering Sea.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
The numerical models are in good agreement through Friday night.
On Saturday they begin to differ on the location of a low south of
the Aleutians. There continue to be issues with the handling of a
triple point low in the central/eastern Bering by late Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist through this
evening. Ceilings should drop to MVFR in showers after midnight.
Precipitation type is expected to be rain, but there is a chance
of snow mixing in on Friday morning just before the precipitation
ends. VFR conditions are then expected Friday afternoon after the
precipitation ends.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)...

A weakening low near the AKPEN will track eastward tonight.
Precipitation in moist southerly flow will continue ahead of the
low along the North Gulf Coast tonight into tomorrow. In
particular, an embedded shortwave has enhanced precipitation rates
over the Anchorage Bowl and into the Susitna Valley and will
likely persist into the evening. Expect cold air advection from
the west around the backside of the low, causing winds to ramp up
to gale force out of Kamishak Bay and over the Barren Islands. In
addition, as a weak shortwave passes over aloft, there will be
potential for a rain/snow mix in Anchorage. With weak forcing,
precipitation amounts will be light. Behind this wave,
precipitation will diminish over Southcentral and expect quiet
weather for the rest of the day... though the Copper River Basin
will likely be the slowest to clear.

Saturday, a front associated with a complex low over the
Bering/Aleutians will begin to approach Southcentral from the west.
Winds will be on the increase throughout the day, particularly
along Turnagain Arm and over higher elevations. Precipitation will
begin Saturday morning on Kodiak Island, then spread to the Kenai
Peninsula and Prince William Sound as the day goes on. With a
moisture fetch down to about 30N, expect heavy precipitation with
snow level generally above 3000 feet over much of Southcentral by
Sunday. More on this in the by long term discussion below.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1-3)...

Winds along the southwest coast will continue to diminish this
evening as a brief ridge builds for Friday. There is a weak upper
level shortwave tracking over the Kuskokwim Delta coast this
evening that will likely bring some trace snowfall overnight to
Nunivak Island and areas along the Kuskokwim Delta coast. By
Friday, a gale force front associated with a strong low in the
Bering arrives to the coast. This storm will bring gusty
southerly flow and abundant precipitation, as there is a long
fetch of subtropical moisture associated with this low. Current
thinking is that all precipitation will fall as rain over the
interior areas of Bristol Bay, as temperatures remain warm.
Meanwhile, father north, enough cold air may remain in place near
the surface to allow precipitation to start as snow, especially in
the lower Kuskokwim Valley region. However, as southerly flow
persists, temperatures will warm and a quick transition to rain is
expected by Saturday morning. Any snow accumulations will likely
be confined to the mountains. As the front pushes inland on
Saturday, southeasterly winds will increase across the greater
Bristol Bay region.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1-3)...

A strengthening storm force low currently centered south of the
western Aleutians continues to track eastward. Strong southerly
flow and rain will spread eastward across the Aleutian Chain
overnight, reaching the eastern Bering Friday morning. On the
backside of this low, cold air will be pulled down from the
northern Bering, bringing very gusty northerly winds to the
western Bering for Friday. There is still some uncertainty as to
where the low will track for the weekend, however strong northerly
flow will continue across the western Bering while southerly flow
is expected over the eastern Bering.

&&

.MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Sunday through Tuesday)...

Gulf of Alaska: A front will cause gale force southeasterly winds
across the southwestern Gulf around Kodiak Island through the day
on Sunday. There is a low chance of storm force winds southeast of
Kodiak Island late Sunday morning. The weakening front will move
into the northern Gulf with potential for gale force barrier jet
winds into Prince William Sound Sunday night. Beyond Sunday night,
the chances for gale force winds anywhere in the Gulf are low.

Bering Sea/Aleutians: Gale force winds are expected along a
north-south oriented swath with northwesterly winds through Adak
and Atka through Sunday evening. Gale force southeasterly winds
are possible along the Southwest Alaska coast and Bristol Bay
early Sunday morning before that front moves inland. Elsewhere,
the low over the Bering weakens, so any potential for gales on
Monday will be in isolated areas along the Aleutians and the
northern Bering, with no gales expected anywhere on Tuesday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7: Sunday through Thursday)...

A busy long-term period is in the forecast this week. A nearly
stationary low over the Aleutians west of Dutch Harbor will have a
large equatorial extension on Sunday morning. This will pull large
amounts of rain in the form of atmospheric river northward into
southern mainland Alaska. The rain will be ongoing across most of
the region Sunday morning, through gusty winds and downsloping
will make the rain intermittent and light over Anchorage and the
Matanuska Valley. The firehose of rain will gradually move
eastward with time, but will linger longest along the coastal
Kenai Peninsula Sunday night and into Monday. More on the details
of that below in the hydrology section. The rain will move across
Prince William Sound on Monday, with the heaviest rain shifting
into the Panhandle by Tuesday. However, lingering light rain will
persist across all of Southern mainland Alaska into Tuesday, as
the low over the Bering keeps the onshore flow going.

In addition to all the rain, strong winds through Turnagain Arm
and higher elevations are likely Sunday into Sunday night. There
is some uncertainty as to how strong those winds will be, but
hurricane force gusts are at least possible once again. Plenty of
warm air with this system will keep any precipitation that falls
as rain for almost everyone, including those at high elevations,
as freezing levels rise as high as 9,000 feet. Upslope
precipitation is also expected along the Alaska Range for this
entire event through the day Monday. Since the predominant flow
will be southerly, cold air will be most persistent and hardest to
remove across Broad Pass north of Talkeetna. Shovelable snow is
likely Sunday into Sunday night into this area. Lingering showers
are likely into Tuesday for much of Southern mainland Alaska.

On Wednesday and into Thursday, the models rapidly diverge on the
track and timing of the next North Pacific low which will move
north into Southern Mainland Alaska. This too looks like it could
be a big wind-maker for much of the region, with additional rain,
heavy at times along the area mountains. Since the details of this
storm are highly uncertain, check back in future forecast packages
for updates.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

There is high confidence that an atmospheric river event will
threaten portions of Southern Alaska Sunday into Monday. The
hardest hit areas are likely to be along the southern Kenai
Peninsula, including Seward. Rain will start Saturday afternoon
across the region and gradually increase in intensity through
Sunday morning. Heavy rain is expected from Sunday afternoon
through Monday morning. Four inches of rain in 24 hours starting
Sunday afternoon are likely in Seward, which does not include the
rain that will fall preceding this period, nor the fact that
shower activity is likely to persist behind the atmospheric river
into Tuesday. Additional hydrological concerns will be how much
rain impacts the Homer area, and with very high freezing levels
affecting the Talkeetna Mountains, if any rain falls on that snow,
there could be notable rises on eastern Susitna Valley rivers and
streams as well. Uncertainty with that is much higher than further
south along the coast, so it will continue to be monitored in
future updates.
