Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
501 PM AKST Thu Jan 21 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
Previous analysis is on track with the break in the active
weather continuing across most of the eastern interior as a strong
ridge extending from the Gulf to the Beaufort Sea builds over
most of mainland Alaska. Light winds and clear to partly cloudy
conditions are in place across most of the eastern interior.
Clouds have spread over most of Southcentral, with scattered
showers (snow showers at higher elevations) spreading north
across favored areas along the Kenai Peninsula and Valdez Arm. A
weak occluded front is working its way slowly eastward across the
western Gulf and Alaska Range in association with the large,
vertically stacked low over the northern Bering.

Out west, the aforementioned low continues to race north and is
now northwest of St. Lawrence Island. Very warm temperatures in
the mid to upper 30s have flooded into the Y-K delta and across
the northern AKPEN to the Kuskokwim Mountains in the wake of the
now occluded front spiraling out from the storm's center. Gusty
south to southeast winds are continuing across much of the region
with up to gale force winds persisting over parts of the northern
and eastern Bering Sea. The outer reaches of what will be the next
impactful system in the coming days are now encroaching on the
Western Aleutians, but the bulk of the storm remains over open
waters of the North Pacific for the time being.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Models are in fairly good synoptic agreement into the weekend. The
ridge currently over eastern Alaska will continue to build,
thereby forcing all activity north across the Bering and western
Alaska. Waves of energy will get thrown eastward into Southcentral,
bringing periodic chances for precip, but each one will generally
lose energy as it moves east.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will persist, along with LLWS with light
north winds at the surface and SE winds around 25kts at around
1000ft-1500ft. Winds aloft will likely increase to around 30kts
overnight.

&&

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

A weakening weather front is moving through Southcentral Alaska
overnight. This is mainly bringing some rain to coastal
locations. There are some reflectivity levels of up to 25 dbz on
the Kenai radar over the western Kenai Peninsula and upper Cook
Inlet this afternoon. It looks like most of this is virga as the
lower levels of the atmosphere are quite dry (up to about 700 mb
on the Anchorage afternoon sounding). However, since there are
some reflectivities, some precipitation could reach the ground
through the overnight, but limited to no accumulation is expected.

Friday will see a break in between systems and then another front
and upper level wave move through Southcentral from the southwest.
This one has a better chance to bring snow to the Cook Inlet
through Susitna Valley regions (including Anchorage and the
Matanuska Valley) on Saturday after the surface front moves
through, and in advance of the upper level wave.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...

An area of low pressure has formed over the Alaska Peninsula and
is quickly lifting northward. This is pushing a frontal boundary
inland over Southwest, spreading in warmer southerly flow and
rain. As this system departs to the north overnight, precipitation
will briefly taper before another front arrives Friday. A broad
upper level low will lift over the central Bering Friday and will
continue to bring warm southerly flow to the Alaska Peninsula and
Southwest. Precipitation is expected to fall as rain, as plenty of
warm air will be in place across the area. However as this low
gradually lifts into the northern Bering by Friday night, colder
air on the backside of the system may allow for a change to a
rain/snow mix by Saturday morning. However by this time, the bulk
of the precipitation will have already moved through and only
residual showers would remain. Onshore, westerly flow will
continue along the coast through Saturday. A pattern change will
begin to take place Saturday into Sunday as a colder airmass
arrives from the north.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3)...

A broad upper level low is in place over the central Bering. At
the surface, a complex low with several smaller meso-lows embedded
around the main center are bringing chaotic conditions to the
central Aleutians. Over the east Bering, warm southerly flow
continues, with gale force winds in place for the eastern Bering
waters through Friday. Meanwhile, colder northerly flow is
spreading in over the western Bering. As this complex low lifts
northward Friday, showers are expected to continue across much of
the Aleutian Chain. Gale force westerlies can be expected across
North Pacific waters south of the Aleutian Chain through much of
Friday. Another developing low arrives over the western Aleutians
Saturday and the leading front will spread across the western and
central Aleutians. With ample cold air wrapping around the
backside of this low, snow showers are expected across the Bering
Sunday as the low gradually tracks eastward.

&&

.MARINE (Days 3 through 5): Sunday through Tuesday...

Gulf of Alaska: Forecast confidence is good into the weekend. A
low moves across the Gulf through Tue. Widespread westerly gale
force winds and waves over the Gulf diminish Mon. A second low
moves across the Southern Gulf Mon to Tue. Areas of southeasterly
small craft with areas of gale force winds move over the Southern
Gulf through Tue. Wave heights to 20 feet over the Southern Gulf
Sun and subsiding Mon.

Aleutians/Bering: Forecast confidence is good into the weekend. A
well-developed low enters the Western Aleutians and Bering and
moves along a front into the Northern Bering by Tue. Widespread
small craft winds and waves with local areas of gale force winds
cross the Aleutians and diminish Sun. Widespread small craft winds
persist across the Southern Bering through Tue. Wave heights to 26
feet Pacific side and 18 feet Bering side along the Western and
Central Aleutians are expected for Sun and Mon, subsiding Tue.
An approaching system brings waves to 20 feet to the Western
Aleutians Tue.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7): Monday through Thursday...

Broad upper-level troughing and a closed low over the Bering Sea
push towards the AKPEN/Southwest Coast, forcing out the upper-
level ridging extending from the Gulf to the Interior. High winds
and waves are likely across the Bering and Aleutian Chain starting
early next week, spreading to the Southwest Coast and AKPEN by
Tuesday as its front pushes onshore. Active weather continues
through mid-week as a second system approaches the Western Bering.
The associated front moves across the Aleutians, resulting in
showery conditions and another round of high winds and waves.
Model spread is still relatively large, thus, there is moderate
uncertainty on the exact track of this system. However, models
are favoring a more eastward push towards the Western Gulf. Should
this solution pan out, showery conditions may become likely along
the Southcentral Coast, as well as stormy weather across the Gulf
of Alaska.
