Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 2:30 AM AKDT, 8 hours 36 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 230 AM AKDT Fri Sep 27 2019 .DISCUSSION... The front associated with the remnant low from Tropical Storm Tapah in the Central Bering Sea will continue to bring rain, strong winds and elevated water levels to the west coast through this evening and continues to be the main forecast challenge in the short term. A second system will bring more substantial precipitation to the west coast and western Interior as well as strong winds through the Alaska Range Passes late this weekend and into early next week. Central and Eastern Interior: A an upper level ridge continues to move over the Interior and will limit the chances of precipitation today and Saturday. A front associated with a low moving north along the west coast will bring precipitation to the Interior Saturday night into Monday. A push of warm air with this system will cause snow levels to rise as the precipitation moves into the area. Because of this we are expecting this to be a mostly rain event at the moment; however, the snow levels do drop off late in the event, so some snow is possible at the beginning and the end of the event. The pressure gradient will tighten up across the Alaska Range Saturday night. This will cause strong, southerly gap winds to develop near Alaska Range passes on Sunday into Sunday night. Current guidance indicates wind gusts over 50 mph with this event. West Coast and Western Interior: The front associated with the strong low in the western Bering Sea continue to bring strong winds to the west coast today into tonight with the strongest winds expected during the day today. Rainfall continues to push north along the coast today, but will not extend that far inland. Because of the expected strong winds, High Surf Advisories have been issued for the Bering Strait and Southern Seward Peninsula and will continue through 6 AM Saturday. A Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for the Kotlik area through 6 AM Saturday as well. The strongest winds with this system are expected today. The next system will arrive early Sunday as a low tracks north along the coast. This system will bring rainfall to much of the west coast and western Interior. Current guidance suggests rainfall totals in the one to two inch range. This system has a lot of warm air associated with it, so snow levels will rise above 6,000 feet ahead of the storm and then drop back down to around 2,000 feet as the storm pushes east into the Central Interior. Arctic Coast and Brooks Range...Typical weather for late September will continue for the area. Clouds increase today especially along the Western North slope as a front approaches from the south. The front will spread rain to the northwest coast today, then slowly east to the Central Brooks Range and Central Arctic Coast by Saturday morning. Winds northeast to east 5 to 15 mph will swing around to west to northwest to 10 mph as the high pressure pushes into the area. Leeside troughing developing today to the north of the Brooks Range will produce some gusty south winds near passes to 35 mph. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...A low pressure system develops along the frontal boundary stalled along the West Coast on Saturday with a 1000 mb low developing over Bristol Bay on Saturday. The low deepens as it moves north over Western Alaska and the West Coast Sunday. Models show considerable spread on the track and strength of the low. Will need to closely monitor track and strength for possible coastal impacts Sunday and Monday. && .HYDROLOGY... Rivers and streams continue to fall slowly or continue steady. Continue to monitor the possibility of heavy rain over the West Coast and Western Interior Sunday and Monday where latest guidance continues to indicate widespread storm totals of .5 to 1.5 inches of rain and local totals in favored upslope areas such as the Nulato Hills and the Western Alaska Range of nearly 2 inches of rain. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Surf Advisory for AKZ211-AKZ213. Coastal Flood Advisory for AKZ214. Small Craft Advisory for PKZ200-PKZ215-PKZ230. Gale Warning for PKZ210-PKZ220-PKZ225. && CCC SEP 19
