Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 7:15 PM AKST, 7 hours 47 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 715 PM AKST Wed Dec 9 2020 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The upper level pattern and jet stream are highly amplified, with a trough digging from the western Bering well southward into the North Pacific, a downstream ridge building across the eastern Bering/Aleutians, and a series of short-wave troughs extending from western Alaska southeastward into the Gulf of Alaska. A large deep vertically stacked low just south of the far western Aleutians is drifting northward. A frontal system out ahead of this low is tracking north and east across the Aleutians and southern Bering Sea, producing storm force winds and seas of 20 to 30 ft. Multiple distinct surface waves are noted in satellite imagery moving along the fronts. Winds are likely locally stronger in the vicinity of these surface waves. Meanwhile, what had been a closed upper low over Bristol Bay has opened into a trough and is tracking east-northeastward across the western Gulf. This trough is acting upon a cold and unstable atmosphere, resulting in showers across the Gulf and into Southcentral. Locally heavy snow is falling from Seward to Moose Pass, with deep southerly flow bringing bands of snow northward up Resurrection Bay. A weaker short-wave trough extends northward across Southwest Alaska, producing some light snow on the west side of the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges. Lastly, a stronger short- wave trough extends from the southern Gulf down into the North Pacific, with a storm force low lifting northward into the eastern Gulf. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Over the past couple model cycles there had been a shift in handling of the multiple short-waves over Southwest Alaska/the Gulf. Prior to this, models had been phasing all of the troughs prior to crossing Southcentral. They still show phasing, but it occurs later and the trough over the western Gulf takes more of an eastward track instead of lifting northward across the Kenai Peninsula. As a result, the portion of the trough which heads up Cook Inlet to Anchorage and the Mat-Su looks quite weak and will have to back off of the snowfall forecast for these areas. With the presence of surface waves along the Bering/Aleutians frontal system, models have all trended a bit stronger with winds. Observations across the region are bearing out these stronger winds. The real challenge is determining whether any of these waves develop into a closed low. The GFS is more aggressive with this idea and introduces the possibility of localized areas of hurricane force winds. While solutions are fairly close initially with large scale features, model spread begins to grow on Friday. In particular, models are struggling with a new trough/deep low lifting north out of the Pacific and toward the Alaska Peninsula Thursday night through Friday. There has been an overall westward trend in the low track, but there is a fairly large spread in the exact track and depth of the low. Tend to favor the GFS/ECMWF for now because they represent a middle of the road solution on track and were closest to inherited forecast. && .AVIATION... PANC...Tonight's trough passage is looking less and less impressive. Thus, it looks much less favorable for snow and associated reduced ceiling/vis. However, in this convective environment, there could still be a few showers which briefly move overhead of the terminal. As the trough exits Thursday morning a strong ridge will build in behind it. With weak low level flow, expect low level moisture will hand around. Thus, have indicated ceilings lowering to MVFR. A lack of precipitation should keep ceilings from going any lower than that. If anything, it is possible the ceiling could settle at VFR. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... An upper level trough over the Alaska Peninsula will move across Southcentral tonight through tomorrow morning. Precipitation will largely remain over the northern Gulf Coast, with snowfall being the dominant precipitation type due to cold temperatures aloft through this time. It previously seemed as though this snowfall would move across Anchorage, however, the majority of the energy associated with this upper level trough is now digging further south than previously anticipated. This will keep inland areas dry through tomorrow. Following this, high pressure aloft will move over the area, continuing the dry pattern. Offshore winds look to remain fairly weak for the north Gulf and eastern Kenai Peninsula. Low stratus is expected, and possibly fog, to develop along the Turnagain Arm and into the Anchorage Bowl tomorrow night. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Wednesday afternoon through Saturday)... An upper level trough is moving north across Southwest Alaska producing light snow west of the Alaska Range. This snow will taper off by Thursday morning as the trough lifts north of the area. Only minor accumulations expected north of Iliamna and east of Sleetmute. No fog expected Thursday and Friday due to clouds and offshore flow. Temperatures will be cold through Thursday as northerly flow and cold air advection continues. Friday and Saturday warm air advection will occur ahead of a frontal system stalling over the northern and eastern Bering. This front will bring in clouds and increasing easterly winds, however most precipitation will remain near coastal locations. Low pressure will approach the AKPEN however model uncertainty on the strength and track of the low. The models track the low somewhere near the southern part of the AKPEN sometime on Saturday and then into the eastern Bering. This will bring at least gale force winds and rain and snow to the AKPEN. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Wednesday afternoon through Saturday)... A storm force low and occluded front with hurricane force wind gusts at times will track across the southern Bering tonight bringing moderate to heavy rain or a rain/snow mix with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. This front will track into the eastern Aleutians, through the central Bering Sea on Thursday with rain and snow but no significant snow accumulations expected. For the Pribilofs, precipitation will begin as snow through Thursday morning, then gradually mix with and change over to rain Thursday afternoon and evening. While it is still snow, the combination of heavier snowfall rates and sustained winds of 35 to 55 mph with gusts to 70 mph will significantly reduce visibilities. Thus, a Winter Weather Advisory for blowing snow has been issued from 5am to 6pm Thursday. This front will cause storm force winds and gusts near or above hurricane force. On Friday this occluded front will stall along the northern Bering with winds decreasing to gales by Friday afternoon and continuing to weaken towards Saturday. Another low will approach the Eastern Aleutians Friday and Saturday with at least gale force winds and rain and snow. There is still a lot of uncertainty with the track and strength of this low, stay tuned. && Marine (Days 3 through 5/Sat through Mon)... Bering/Aleutians: Forecast confidence is low for Saturday through Sunday, with guidance showing large discrepancies in the placement and intensity of synoptic scale features. In particular, expect a low to track up from the Pacific and approach the Alaska Peninsula friday, but unsure of how quickly this low will lift northward into the Bering Sea. Bottom line, expect widespread gales across this region at some point during these two days, with potential for a small area of storm force winds south of the Alaska Peninsula. Confidence diminishes even further on Monday, so it's hard to say where storms will be positioned at that point in time. Gulf of Alaska: There are discrepancies in the placement and intensity of synoptic scale features, however most guidance agrees on a deeper low tracking from the northeast Pacific into the eastern Gulf. Thus, winds will likely remain below gale force across the western Gulf waters. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7/Sun through Wed)... The pattern is expected to become more amplified during the day 4-7 period. This trend is reflected in both the GFS and ECMWF deterministic models as well as their ensembles, however there are some differences on where these trough and ridge axes are placed and oriented between both the GFS and ECMWF. A few areas of consistency in the long range include a ridge axis over the Gulf of Alaska on Sunday. There are differences on the orientation of this ridge axis, however, lighter winds and clearer skies are possible across the northern Gulf. Another area of agreement is that the ridge axis extends over Southwest Alaska Sunday night which could result in clearer skies and colder temperatures for the Kuskokwim Delta and Kuskokwim Valley. GFS and ECMWF ensembles show signs of a rex block developing over the Bering Sea on Sunday and persisting into Wednesday as easterly 200 mb zonal winds in the polar jet region will help weaken the polar jet and allow for the potential block to form. Ensembles have the upper trough associated with this rex block over the Bering, thus a more unsettled weather pattern is expected. Monday through Wednesday there are many discrepancies at both the surface and the upper levels which results in a lower confidence forecast. However, one feature that seems consistent to point out on Wednesday is the upper level ridge that extends northwestward from the North Pacific into Bristol Bay. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
