Area forecast discussion, Nov 28, 5:20 PM AKST, 10 hours 34 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 520 PM AKST Sat Nov 28 2020 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... The upper level pattern continues to present a complex longwave trough over our forecast area. This trough has shifted east over the past day and is now centered over Southwest AK and encompasses almost all of our forecast area, save for a shortwave ridge over the Western Aleutians. A couple of closed upper low centers exist within this longwave, with one of the lows centered over the AKPEN. Several shortwave troughs are also embedded in this flow. There are two prominent shortwaves in our forecast area. One weakening trough in the Bering supporting a decaying surface low over the Aleutians. The other is over the Gulf of Alaska supporting a surface low moving into the Southcentral Gulf Coast. On the surface, radar is capturing precipitation associated with the low along the Gulf of Alaska moving into Southcentral AK. Surface observations are also showing the trough moving in, with continued snowfall in areas like Portage and Whittier. Slightly warmer areas farther south on the coast like Homer are seeing a mix of snow and rain. The latest low center has pushed ashore near Yakutat, with the next low right on its heels, currently located south of Kodiak. In southwest, radar also shows wrap around moisture in Bristol Bay from this system. A weak decaying low is currently moving south through the Bering and not producing much weather. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... As with the past few days, models are handling synoptic features well in the short term and depicting the longwave pattern well. They are continuing to struggle on the mesoscale and with local effects, especially for Southcentral AK. There has been almost continuous adjustment to the forecast the past couple of days as a result. Today is a little better, in part because the pattern has briefly quieted. However, models still struggle after about 48 hours. In our western domain, models are performing better. So, we have high confidence in models out west, with lower confidence in Southcentral. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Tuesday)... A gigantic area of low pressure east of Kodiak Island remains to be the primary weather producer for Southcentral this afternoon. A weakening frontal zone over Prince William Sound (PWS) continues lifting inland and dissipating. Still, more snowfall from this feature will spread across PWS and Copper River Basin, including Thompson Pass tonight. A shortwave behind this frontal axis will arrive across PWS and eastern Kenai Peninsula later tonight while the upper level low make its way toward the northern Gulf and inland (east of Cordova) overnight tonight. Once this upper low moves inland and well east of PWS later tonight, snowy conditions will taper off over much of the area east of the Anchorage Bowl. This will last only for a short while before the next upper level system arrives Sunday morning. Over Shelikof Strait, a developing upper low is parked there before moving toward PWS Sunday morning. This will cause another heavy round of heavy mixing rain and snow to return by late Sunday afternoon if not sooner over PWS and the Copper River Basin. Meanwhile, a shortwave north of the upper low will break away and drift northward past Anchorage Bowl by Sunday night. In response, more snow will spread over Anchorage, Matanuska Valley and western Kenai Peninsula on Sunday and Sunday night. Temperature-wise, most of the area will stay at or above normal this weekend, though Sunday night into Monday could offer a brief return to colder, more normal temperatures. This will be brief, however, because the next low in this parade of storms looks to bring much warmer conditions and rain chances to much of Southcentral by early next week. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... An upper level low continues to spin over the region with its associated surface low to the east of Kodiak Island. The surface low will continue moving northward through the Gulf of Alaska while weakening. However, energy associated with the upper level low is keeping light snow and low visibilities across the Kuskokwim Mountains and across northern and central Bristol Bay in areas such as Koliganek and New Stuyahok. This energy will only ever so slowly move southward out of the region heading into the overnight hours. Therefore, light snow was kept in the forecast with some accumulation until Sunday morning before finally dissipating. Due to the light snow, only an additional inch of snow accumulation is anticipated. Radar imagery was showing some returns possibly making it into the Bethel area this afternoon through the evening hours. With this in mind, we opted to just put flurries in the forecast as some moisture may make it into the area. This system finally pulls away by late Sunday morning. Skies are expected to clear the most out over the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies elsewhere. With the recent snow and residual moisture in the air, areas of patchy fog are possible for Monday morning. Other than that, expect a dry but cold Sunday afternoon through Monday morning before the next system approaches. Temperatures Sunday afternoon across the interior areas are expected to be in the upper single digits and teens with 20s along the coast. Temperatures will become very cold for Monday morning with single digits below zero across the interior areas and single numbers and teens along the coastal areas. The one thing possibly going against it getting this cold Monday morning is the potential cloud cover that may be around. If skies clear, the potential is there for temperatures to fall even further than already forecast. Also, areas of patchy fog will also play a role in the temperatures for Monday morning. Lastly, the next storm system moves into the area Monday morning and continues to affect the area through Tuesday night. This event should be all snow for areas west of a Lime Village to Koliganek to New Stuyahok to Dillingham line. Areas east of the aforementioned line have the potential for a snow changing to rain situation as warmer air comes in and then back to snow when the cold air comes back in. These areas may also just mix with rain briefly especially areas around Iliamna. King Salmon is a tough forecast for this system as the gradient between warm and cold is expected to be sharp making any shift in the storm track detrimental to the type of precipitation that will fall. A further west track means more rain and warmer for King Salmon with further east colder and more snow. Of course, the downsloping risk is there as well with this system and depending on how strong the downsloping is will factor into the amount of precipitation seen. Interior Bristol Bay and the Middle Kuskokwim Valley have the potential to see significant snowfall (greater than 6 inches) from this event where a band of snow might set up. Where this band sets up remains in question but where it does could see significant snowfall and headlines will be possible with the coming forecast packages. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)... Cold air flowing over the Bering is creating an unstable atmospheric setup. This is seen on visible satellite imagery in the form of cumulus clouds. Some of these grow enough to cause snow showers that may briefly reduce visibility and lower ceilings for the Pribilofs and the eastern Aleutian Chain (Cold Bay and Sand Point). This will continue for the duration of this forecast package, especially for the Pribilofs north and west. The next weather system is expected to affect the areas mainly south and west of the Pribilofs with storm force winds especially in the marine zones south of the Aleutian Chain. The timing on these storm force winds are expected to be early Sunday morning through Monday morning. Seas of 20-30 ft are expected south of the Chain with 16-21 ft seas for the Bering side. The one other thing to note is the potential for blowing snow Monday afternoon into early Tuesday for the eastern Aleutians as the cold air is coming back in and precipitation is still occurring. The better risk for this is around Cold Bay and False Pass which will have a better chance of keeping the cold air in place. Sand Point has the better risk to have rain occurring and having the precipitation shut off before the winds ramp up Tuesday morning for any blowing snow to occur. && .MARINE (Days 3 through 5 - Tuesday through Thursday)... Gulf: A well-developed low moves over the Western Gulf through Thu. Its model track and development are mixed with the wrapped low as it weakens. However, widespread southerly high-end small craft winds and waves with local areas of gale force winds move over the Gulf through Thu. These winds will diminish to southwesterly small craft over the Gulf and local southeasterly small craft winds around the Barren Islands, Kamishak Bay and lower Cook Inlet. Bering: A well-developed low moves into the Gulf of Alaska weakens by Thu. The model track and development of the wrapped low vary through Thu. Northerly gale force winds and waves over the Central and Eastern Bering and Alaska Peninsula diminish to small craft winds over the Eastern Bering and West Coast waters. Cold high pressure dips into the Bering for Thu, but an upper level trough brings easterly small craft winds to the West of St Matthew Island Wed and Thu. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7/Wednesday through Saturday)... A weakening low pushes through Cook Inlet on Wednesday, keeping the Southcentral coastal areas under showery conditions. 850mb temperatures remain warm enough to keep precipitation as all rain, followed by a brief period of rain/snow mix on Thursday. Models differ slightly with this low, where the Canadian/ECMWF dissipate the low as it makes its way onshore, while the GFS lingers it over Bristol Bay through Friday. This will have an impact on a second low that enters the Southern Gulf by Thursday afternoon where the GFS path is pushed more towards the Southeast Coast. Both the Canadian and ECMWF solutions track this low north towards the Southcentral Coast with slight differences between strength and center location. These differences in model solutions can impact precipitation type and intensity for the Southcentral Coast for Friday and will need to be monitored over the next few days. A third system tracks south of the Aleutians late next week and will bring gusty winds to the central/eastern Aleutian Chain. Additionally, persistent upper-level troughing lingers over the Southwest region through Friday. Flow with this will be predominantly northerly, thus, below average temperatures can be expected over the Southwest mainland and the AKPEN/eastern Aleutians. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
