Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 106 PM AKDT Tue Sep 10 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Pleasant fall day over much of northern Alaska this evening with partly cloudy skies and above normal temperature over the Central and Eastern Interior and mostly cloudy skies elsewhere. A strong low pressure system currently over the western Bering Sea will continue to push east tonight into the Central Bering Sea bringing Gale force winds to the marine areas south of the Bering Strait and strong winds and heavy rains along the coast south of the Bering Strait. In addition to the the strong winds, expect high surf along the coast from Golovin to Nome. Additionally, gap winds through the Alaska Range will increase tomorrow evening and continue through Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Aloft, strong high pressure is currently over western Canada, with a weak shortwave centered over Western Brooks Range. A few showers are possible tonight over the western and central Interior as the shortwave pushes east and north. A deep upper level low will move into the eastern Bering Sea tomorrow morning and be centered over St. Matthew Island Thursday afternoon. The bulk of the energy from this system will move southeast into the Gulf of Alaska going into the weekend. A weak ridge will build over northeastern Alaska Thursday afternoon and persist into Friday. At the surface, a weak low pressure system currently located over the Bering Strait will continue to weaken tonight as it moves north into the southern Chukchi Sea. A weak ridge of high pressure currently over the Eastern Bering Sea will push rapidly north and east tonight over the Western Interior and Central Brooks Range. A 975 mb low currently Just east of the Kamchtka Peninsula will move east into the Western Bering Sea tonight and into the Central Bering Sea Wednesday as a 970 mb low. Models continue to differ slightly on intensity and location of the central low past tomorrow evening, but consensus is a front will bring heavy precipitation to the West Coast tomorrow afternoon and strong easterly winds will increase over St. Lawrence Island and the Lower YK Delta Wednesday morning and will increase over Norton Sound tomorrow afternoon and will remain strong into Thursday. The low pressure will linger off the West Coast through Thursday before weakening and moving into Bristol Bay Thursday night. North Slope and Brooks Range.... Quiet conditions this continue across the Arctic Coast and Brooks Range. Generally east flow expected for the next few days as high pressure remains in place near Banks Island and as a deep low pressure system moves into the Central Bering Sea. As the strong low pressure moves over the Central Bering Sea, east winds will increase along the North Slope with sustained winds to 25 mph. Temperatures expected to decrease but still remain above average going into late week. Central and Eastern Interior... Scattered showers over much of the interior this evening. Isolated thunderstorms are expected this evening west of a McGrath to Tanana to Bettles line as a weak shortwave moves north and east over the Central Brooks Range. Winds in the higher terrain expected to increase tomorrow afternoon due to the approaching low off the West Coast. Gap winds through the Alaska Range will begin to increase tomorrow evening with peak wind gusts to 50 mph by Thursday morning. Wind Advisories have been issued for the Central and Eastern Alaska Range. Slightly cooler temperatures expected for the Interior for the next couple of days. West Coast and Western Interior... Scattered showers will dissipate tonight. A strong weather front will begin to impact the West Coast with heavy rain and strong winds tomorrow morning over St Lawrence Island and the Lower YK Delta and by tomorrow afternoon over Norton Sound. Wind gusts to 55 mph are expected for St Lawrence Island and the Lower YK Delta (especially along the Coast) and wind gusts to 45 mph are expected elsehwere. Rain accumulations between 0.50 and 0.75 inches expected around Norton Sound, with localized amounts above 1.00 inch in the Nulato Hills region. High Surf Advisory is valid for the beaches between Nome and Golovin due to the strong southeast winds that will erode the beach and possibly damage the Nome Council Road beginning tomorrow morning. Temperatures expected to remain in the mid 50s for the next few days. Models... The 12z model suite initialized well against the 12z surface analysis and verified well against the 18z surface analysis. Model spread on todays model suite remains reasonable in through the end of the week but displays considerable spread by the weekend on the track and strength of the next storm system moving northeast out of the Northern Pacific into the Western Bering Sea. && Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... Gale force winds expected to dissipate through Norton Sound by Thursday morning. Therefore, high surf impacts expected to end at this time as well. && .HYDROLOGY... Shower activity along the norther portions of the West Coast will diminish tonight. The Wulik river has crested and continues to drop, however many rivers in the Western Brooks range will continue to run high through the end of the week. Precaution should be taken in the lagoon area near Kivalina as flooding will be possible where Wulik River empties into the lagoon. A strong Bering Sea storm will cause rises on streams and rivers in the Nulato Hills region as 0.50-0.75 inches are expected, with localized amounts exceeding an inch in higher terrain. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory for AKZ225-AKZ226. High Surf Advisory for AKZ211. Small Craft Advisory for PKZ200. Gale Warning for PKZ200-PKZ210. && CCC SEP 19
