Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
351 AM AKDT Wed Mar 11 2020

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A weakening front is currently bringing scattered rain/snow
showers to the central Aleutians. Farther east, northerly gap
winds continue across the Copper River Basin through Valdez west
of an upper level trough. Mostly clear skies are indicated over
much of the state. As such, temperatures are falling well below
zero over areas away from the coast.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models remain in good agreement with high resolution models
continuing to depict the aforementioned gap winds well. Forecast
confidence remains above normal.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

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

An upper-level trough along the Al-Can border will continue to
slowly track east today. As it does, the surface trough over the
northern gulf will weaken and begin to push south and east,
paralleling the Alaska Peninsula. The result will be a decrease
in the pressure gradient between it and the surface ridge nestled
over the interior of the state. As the gradient relaxes, the
strong outflow winds that peaked overnight will begin to diminish
in intensity. The departure of the trough has also ushered in
clear and dry conditions across Southcentral, with arctic air
continuing to spill into the region from the interior.

An upper-level ridge situated over the Bering will begin to push
east today, crossing the Alaska Range by late Thursday and
settling over the Gulf for Friday. As this system tracks east,
however, a shortwave currently over the northern Bering will move
southeast ahead of the ridge, tracking over the region and
gaining strength as it moves over the Copper River Basin. This
feature will a produce another surface trough along the immediate
coast and yield a secondary increase in the outflow winds
beginning later tonight through Thursday evening as the pressure
gradient tightens. Although the outflow winds will be gusty
through the bays and passes of the eastern Kenai Peninsula and
western Prince William Sound, the strongest gusts are again
expected from eastern Prince William Sound to the Copper River
Delta, including the city of Valdez, the Valdez waterways, and
Thompson Pass. The winds are expected to diminish Thursday night
and Friday as the ridge settles over the Gulf. With the ridge axis
anchored overhead by the end of the week, a warming trend will
begin to take shape as clear and dry conditions prevail.

&&

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

An upper level wave moving near Hooper Bay and Toksook Bay will
keep a chance for snow showers in the forecast early today. The
remainder of Southwest Alaska will remain dry through the end of
the week as an upper level ridge moves over the region. This will
also help to bring a warm up in temperatures over the next few
days. The next chance for precipitation will be this weekend as a
front in the Bering approaches the Kuskokwim Delta Coast.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

Ridging over the western Bering this morning has helped to keep
quiet conditions across the region. By this afternoon, a storm
force system will move over the western Bering and Aleutians,
bringing warmer temperatures along with it. These strong southerly
winds will continue as the pressure gradient tightens between the
associated low center and high pressure over the eastern Bering.
This will keep an elongated precipitation shield moving eastward
to the central Aleutians and Bering as the strongest core of
winds lift northward through Thursday night.

Meanwhile, northeasterly small craft advisory winds will persist
over the eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula as as a North
Pacific low lifts northward through the overnight hours tonight.
Winds across these areas will shift to a southeasterly direction
by Thursday, allowing for strong gap flow as the stronger
aforementioned front exits into the northern Bering. Widespread
precipitation will continue across most of the Bering and
Aleutians through Friday, with the Alaska Peninsula also seeing a
chance for snow showers during this time.

&&

.MARINE (Days 3 through 5)...

Thursday and Friday, the offshore and enhanced gap winds will
continue across the Barren Islands and the Copper River Delta.
These winds will diminish late Friday.

A storm force system over the northern Bering will keep an area
of storm force to high end gale force winds west of St Matthew
Island and north of 56N on Thursday. By Friday, this system will
have weakened, but enhanced winds and rough seas still
anticipated into Saturday. Shifting to the North Pacific, a low
will approach the central and eastern Aleutians Thursday night,
bringing the next round of precipitation to the eastern Aleutians,
including Dutch Harbor, through Friday night. A ridge will set up
over the Gulf Of Alaska and mainland. Once this ridge gets
established, the active corridor for low tracks will be the NW
Pacific to the Western Bering. This ridge is expected through
Tuesday March 18th.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)...

Both the GFS and ECMWF ping into an "Omega Block" setting up over
the Gulf of Alaska. This will keep clear skies and dry weather
over most of Southcentral Alaska. Temperatures will continue to
run slightly below normal. However, the weather will be active
over the western Aleutians and western Bering. But at this time,
none of these systems look particularly ominous. The ridge remains
steadfast the entire forecast period.

&&
