Area forecast discussion, Oct 2, 4:24 PM AKDT, 11 hours 28 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 424 PM AKDT Fri Oct 2 2020 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The latest low to impact the region moved over northern Kodiak Island earlier today and is near Lake Iliamna this afternoon. This is a more northerly track than anticipated so that has had an effect on some of the forecasts today. This low is impressively wrapped with the occluded front wrapped around the low three times with the northern most one up near the Brooks Range. In the upper levels, the low encompasses then entire state, both land and marine areas. The trough associated with this low still extends to around 30N with the jet stream pumping moisture along it in to near the AlCan border. This means the main tap of moisture is no longer over southern Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... While models seem to be in good agreement, they are struggling some with the lows in the Gulf of Alaska. The one today tracked noticeably farther north over Kodiak and Afognak Islands than the track any of the models had in the last day. While there was model consensus on the track, there was not correctness. The next low to move into the Gulf of Alaska Sunday and Sunday night is being moved farther eastward with each model run. The GFS and NAM now are moving it inland near Yakutat and the EC and Canadian models are taking it closer to Prince William Sound. All tracks are farther east and will need to keep an eye on how this low develops over the next few model runs. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions will persist. Gusty southeast winds will develop by evening then persist into Saturday and diminish by late Saturday afternoon/evening. LLWS will remain until the southeasterly winds move over the airport complex. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... Winds remain elevated across Turnagain Arm, the Matanuska Valley and Copper River Basin as a strong low pressure system tracks northward over Southwest Alaska from Kodiak Island. The High Wind Warning for Anchorage and the Portage Valley has been cancelled, as winds looks slightly weaker than first forecast, especially across the Anchorage Hillside. Gusty southeasterly winds, however, are expected to continue through this afternoon, slowly diminishing after midnight. Rain is visible on radar across Southcentral and the southwestern part of the state, with most of the rain confined to the coast and the upslope side of the coastal mountain ranges. This will continue through tomorrow, with most other areas remaining dry. Flooding remains a concern throughout this time, with a Flood Warning in effect for Seward and a Flood Watch in effect for Kenai Lake and the Kenai River at Cooper Landing. Rounds of heavy rainfall will continue through Monday for these locations and the Gulf Coast. On Sunday, another low pressure system will traverse the Gulf of Alaska, heading further east than the current system. Models are still struggling, albeit, have come into better agreement with a northeastward progression across the Gulf. Landfall is expected around the Cordova area sometime between Sunday night and Monday afternoon. This will bring another round of winds and rain to the area, with more rain forecasted for areas that were downsloped with today's system. On Monday, expect a change of pace as winds calm and conditions dry out. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... A broad low moving northward is bringing widespread showers to much of Southwest Alaska. Highest totals are expected around Bristol Bay in southwest flow as the low departs, though amounts will remain minimal. Showers will taper off midday Saturday as slightly drier air builds in, however slight precipitation chances will persist under a series of upper level shortwaves. Temperatures will gradually fall through the early next week. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)... Showers will persist through the weekend in a general northerly flow. High pressure will build over the western Aleutians Sunday into Monday leading to calm conditions. Gusty winds out of bays and passes may occur Sunday between Unalaska and Adak between relatively strong high and low pressure. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5/Monday through Wednesday)... Bering/Aleutians Light northerly flow continues across the central/eastern Bering/Aleutians on Monday. Winds flip to southerly and increase to small craft levels for the western Aleutians late Monday due to an approaching Kamchatka low. Early Tuesday, southeasterly flow ramps up to gale force across the western Bering/Aleutians along with widespread rainfall. This wind/rain spreads into central Bering/Aleutians by mid to late Tuesday. Early Wednesday, the Kamchatka low migrates towards the western Bering, with westerly small craft/low end gale force winds expected across the western and central portions of the Bering/Aleutians, while eastern areas see southerly winds pick up to near gale force along with plentiful rain. By late Wednesday the low in the western Bering weakens with winds transitioning to westerly and falling back to small craft levels. Gulf of Alaska On Monday a weakening low will be parked over Prince William Sound early, with this storm system quickly heading interior and diminishing by late Monday. As a result, southwesterly gale force winds early on Monday across the Gulf should diminish below small craft advisory levels by the afternoon/evening hours. Generally light westerly flow then takes over for Tuesday and Wednesday. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7)... The extended forecast pattern remains progressive through the workweek. The next storm to impact the Gulf of Alaska will lift from the Pacific into Sunday/Monday. This will again bring unsettled weather to Kodiak, but will mainly spare much of mainland Alaska. The forecast track continues to shift east, sparing much of Prince William Sound and Seward from the past week of rains. A barrier jet is likely to impact the coast during that time, as winds turn offshore by Monday. Across the Bering, a transient ridge will slide east through Wednesday. The next Bering low will slide across the Kamchatka Peninsula and move SE towards Bristol Bay by Friday. This storm track leaves a very low potential for coastal issues through this time. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...Gale warning 119 125 130 150.
