Area forecast discussion, Dec 18, 4:27 PM AKST, 11 hours 7 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 427 PM AKST Fri Dec 18 2020 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... An upper level low present over the northeastern Gulf has opened up into an upper level wave. This wave was bringing snow to Valdez and Cordova for much of the morning hours. The rest of Southcentral remains under southerly flow aloft which is keeping the region with a good amount of cloud cover. Strong outflow winds remain at the surface in areas such as the Valdez Narrows and Thompson Pass. While winds were much higher earlier in Thompson Pass creating blizzard conditions, these winds have since subsided enough to lessen any blizzard conditions. Much of Southwest Alaska also remains under southerly to southeasterly flow aloft that is keeping a good amount of cloud cover across the region. Temperatures are very cold also in the teens below zero across the Middle Kuskokwim Valley. A broad upper level trough remains in place across the Bering Sea with an associated surface low just west of the Pribilofs. Some gale force winds were occurring mainly on the southern side of the system. Besides the winds, on and off rain showers were occurring for the Pribilofs. Lastly, an upper level wave was present on satellite imagery this afternoon with an associated surface low over the North Pacific. This low is the one currently being watched for snowfall across Southcentral on Saturday. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... The biggest challenge going forward even though we are inside 24 hours now is the snow potential across Southcentral for Saturday. While most guidance agrees on Anchorage seeing snow, the question remains just how much. The trend on model guidance this afternoon has been to the west but they can just as well go back to the east again. Even though they came west, model guidance still has different tracks on exactly where the center of this low moves. Further west, model guidance remains in great agreement on the low in the Bering. Attention then turns to the next low that is expected to impact the Bering and the Aleutian Chain Saturday evening into Sunday. Model guidance continues to spin up various different lows with the GFS being the strongest one with a low developing along the front. Thinking the parent low will be the low hanging back to the southwest of Attu Island. While model guidance is spinning up these different lows along the front, the intensity, and placement of each of these is in disagreement across the board. This could have an impact on just how strong this front is as it moves through the Bering/Aleutian Chain. Where the parent low goes beyond Sunday afternoon remains in question as well as the intensity of this low as it moves into the Bering. Either way, guidance is indicating this being a strong low in the Bering but how strong. && .AVIATION... PANC...MVFR cigs will be intermittent through the afternoon hours, before becoming VFR later this afternoon. Snow is expected to develop late tomorrow morning and persist into the evening. Confidence is gaining that the airport should see an inch or more through the event. However, confidence is low where the strongest banding will develop. There is the potential for conditions to drop to IFR for short times if banding is near or over the field. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A weakening low in the north central Gulf this afternoon will continue to lift northward through the night, allowing for the gusty winds to diminish across the Copper River Delta. A second low moves into the North Pacific overnight into Saturday morning, which will bring gale force winds to the northern Gulf through the afternoon hours. The Anchorage Bowl will also see snowfall associated with this system starting in the morning and continuing through most of the day, with accumulations of 2 to 4 inches expected. However, there is still a bit of uncertainty in the forecast as to when the snowfall will start and how much will fall. A shift in the track of the low, either east or west, could change the amount of snowfall received throughout the day on Saturday. Areas along the eastern Kenai Peninsula could also see about 3 to 7 inches of new snowfall with this low. As the aforementioned low lifts northward into the North Gulf Coast by Sunday morning, chances for snowfall starts to diminish across Southcentral through early Monday morning. A new front enters the western Gulf and moves over Kodiak Island Monday morning, which will continue over the Kenai Peninsula through the afternoon. This system will bring a significant amount of moisture with it, but there is still a bit of uncertainty as to whether it will fall as snow or rain as warmer temperatures will move into the region. Be sure to check back for the forecast as models come into better agreement with this shift in the weather pattern for the beginning of the work week. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 and 2)... A weakening low continues moving slowly across the Southern Bering, reaching the Bristol Bay coast Sunday morning. Light snow showers will be confined to the Southwest Coast through tomorrow before extending into the southern portions of Bristol Bay, the Southern AKPEN and the higher elevations. No significant accumulations are expected with this. There is deep amplification in the upper levels by Sunday as a deep low approaches the Western Bering. The associated leading front is expected to reach the Southwest Coast by Monday morning. Winds will become gusty for the Kuskokwim Delta, through passes in Bristol Bay and the AKPEN, and along the Coast on Monday. Precipitation will be heaviest along the Eastern Aleutians/Southern AKPEN as the front approaches, as well as along the eastern Kuskokwim Mountains. Along the Chain/AKPEN, this will start as a rain/snow mix transitioning to all rain and then back to a mix. Light snow showers are expected across the rest of the Southwest Mainland on Monday. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)... Low impact system tracks across the Southern Bering through tomorrow night. A few gales and small craft winds expected along the Aleutian Coasts as well as light showers south of the low. By Sunday morning a leading front enters the Western Bering. Model agreement by this point is not ideal, with different solutions spinning up embedded lows in different areas within the system. However, confidence is high enough to expect a band of gales along the front to travel across the Bering towards the Southwest Coast through Sunday night, with the chance for periods of storms likely. As the front approaches the Southwest coast, periods of moderate to heavy precipitation, will work its way across the Eastern Aleutians/Southern AKPEN Sunday night into Monday. This will mostly be a rain/snow mix transitioning to all rain then back to a mix, with snow along the higher elevations. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5/Monday through Wednesday)... Gulf of Alaska: There is good confidence on a quiet start to the period with high pressure extending across much of the Gulf. By Monday night southerly winds will be increasing across much of the western Gulf of Alaska as a front approaches. The current forecast calls for widespread Gales, but some areas of storm force winds appear possible. On Tuesday we should see these southerlies subside. Wednesday there is significant model disagreement on the development of an area of low pressure in the northeastern Pacific that would bring stronger easterlies back into the Western Gulf, for now the forecast leans towards this development remaining too far south and too weak to have any significant influence on winds/waves in the western Gulf. Bering Sea: A broad complex low with multiple centers will be centered over the Bering Monday into Tuesday. The strongest winds will be found along the northern fringes of this broad low across the Northern Bering, with good confidence on generally low end Gales. By Wednesday the broad low looks to break up into multiple weak lows across the Bering Sea. Confidence on the placement of these individual lows is very low, but none of them look to produce more than some very small areas of Gales. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7/Tuesday through Friday)... On Tuesday a deep trough will extend across much of the Bering, with a ridge across the Gulf of Alaska through eastern Mainland Alaska. A pronounced shortwave will be rounding the base of this Bering trough with a low deepening across the western Gulf. This low will have a great connection to some moist air from the tropics and thus looks to set up widespread precipitation, potentially heavy from the AKPEN through the Northern Gulf Coast. With the precipitation will come a significantly warmer airmass so a quick change to rain is possible for portions of the AKPEN and Kenai Peninsula. Some very heavy snows look possible for all higher elevation areas surrounding Prince William Sound. On Wednesday this system should begin to weaken with only some lingering precipitation for the Northern Gulf coast. For Thursday/Friday another storm system looks to lift out of the North Pacific into the eastern Gulf of Alaska with most of its impacts remaining east of our AOR. Across the Bering a complex of weak lows look to keep the pattern active across the central and western Aleutians, but with none of these lows looking particularly impactful/strong. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
