Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
459 PM AKST Sat Jan 30 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

In the upper levels a high amplitude ridge extends north across
the center Bering Sea roughly along 170W. To its West is a
stationary upper low over Kamchatka and a broad upper low over the
Gulf to the east.

At the surface, a series of weak lows continued over the Gulf.
Generally fair skies and cool temperatures were evident over
Southcentral Alaska and Southwest Alaska. Locally gusty outflow
winds were observed on the Eastern Kenai Peninsula and through
Thompson Pass of Southcentral. Out West, brisk northerly winds
were observed over Western Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula.
Broad southerly flow(gales) and fairly extensive cloud cover,
associated with a front over the western Aleutians/West Bering
Sea, prevailed. Temperatures in the upper 30s to 40s kept
precipitation along the ALeutians as rain. Cooler air over the
Pribilof Island allowed for light snow.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models tend to handle the broad upper level pattern similarly. The
details in the lower troposphere however are a different story.
The lows in the the complex over the Western Bering Sea are
somewhat disorganized and handled a little differently by the
models. The frontal system moving across the Bering Sea has a
similar movement on the models except for the GFS. The GFS moves
the front much slower as it develops a fairly strong low center
along its boundary and moves it into the eastern Bering Sea late
Monday. Will be leaning away from this scenario and going with a
more progressive frontal movement and weaker frontal wave.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...VFR conditions and light north winds. We are keeping the
mention of patchy low stratus and fog out of the forecast for
now, but it does bear watching over the next day or so.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Tonight
through Tuesday)...

Not a whole lot of significant changes from the previous forecast
about the frigid temperatures settling across the region and the
onset of the upper level high moving in from Southwest. Latest
satellite and model data shows clear skies across the populated
areas, with stronger winds mainly over Copper River Delta and Prince
William Sound, including Valdez and Seward waters in response to
strong off-shore flow. A strong high aloft will yield to clear to
partly cloud skies over much of Southcentral. The pressure and
wind gradients along the Prince William Sound and Copper River
Delta will continue to strengthen in response to the approaching
high pressure at both surface and high levels in combination with
the polar low. These weather mechanisms will reinforce the
northerly winds through the short term leading stronger gusts for
most gaps and passes. At 500mb, a polar low strives to dig
southeastward toward Copper River Delta by Sunday/Sunday night.
Models are now pushing this upper level system more closer to the
Yukon boundary but its associated shortwave will increase the
potential for clouds and more snowfall in the coming days. Colder
air advection will surround the entire Copper River Basin through
the east and north of Matanuska Valley as well. At 850 mb,
temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius will concentrate
heavily to the east and north of Anchorage Bowl and Mat-Su Valleys
between Sunday night and Tuesday.

A surface low over the northern Gulf and southeast of Cordova is
trekking towards Middleton Island this evening. This will bring
increased clouds and mixed rain/snow south of Cordova and over the
northern Gulf including Middleton Island through early Sunday
morning. Once this low dives southward tonight, another surface trough
from the eastern Gulf will extend across the northern Gulf
and will linger there through at least Monday night. This could
increase cloud cover, mix rain/snow south of Prince William
Sound.

&&

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

Arctic air continues to settle into the Southwest interior
underneath a strong ridge in place this afternoon, with bitterly
cold temperatures well below 0 F spreading into much of the Y-K
Delta. Wind chill values may dip down to as low as -30 F over
parts of the area as winds begin to increase ahead of an
approaching frontal system over the Bering by Sunday. The coldest
wind chills will be found inland from Bering Coast where the
coldest temperatures will persist. Currently do not anticipate
weather headlines with this cold event with wind chills not
expected to dip too far into extreme values, but anticipate quite
unseasonably cold conditions to last through Monday for the
interior locations.

By Tuesday, the front over the Bering will approach the Southwest
coastal areas as it gradually weakens and lifts northeast. In
spite of warmer air moving in aloft, the inversion extending over
the cold air in place should stay cold and dry enough that precip
with this front will fall as all snow at onset over all but the
AKPEN, where rain or rain/snow mix is expected with the warmer
air in that direction. Several inches of snowfall are possible as
the boundary moves inland for areas from Bristol Bay to the Y-K
delta from Monday night into Tuesday. Stay tuned for future
updates as this snowfall event becomes more refined.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 and 2)...

A front extending from a nearly stationary low east of the
Kamchatka Peninsula will progress across the Bering and Aleutian
Chain from west to east from the afternoon through Tuesday as it
finally reaches the Bering Coast. Strong and southerly gale force
winds are expected to sweep across the region ahead of this front
until it weakens in the Eastern Bering on Tuesday morning. Very
strong warm advection will keep nearly all of the frontal
precipitation in the form of rain, with cold advection behind the
boundary supporting an unstable boundary layer, with showery
conditions and weaker westerly winds spreading across the Bering
on Monday and Tuesday.

&&

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

Gulf of Alaska:

Generally light winds and low seas will persist. Higher winds and
seas through Cook Inlet and out of bays and passes are likely
Tuesday morning, before diminishing.

Aleutians/Bering:

A gale force front will enter the western Bering Tuesday and
slowly track eastward, before dissipating over the central
Aleutians/Bering by Wednesday evening. The progressive pattern
will continue into Thursday, however generally lower winds and
seas will persist.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Wednesday through
Saturday)...

Several lows and associated fronts will bring rain/snow showers
across the Bering/Aleutians Wednesday and Thursday. Model
agreement degrades thereafter, but high pressure looks to build
into the central/eastern Aleutians from the North Pacific later in
the week, leading to a brief lull in the active pattern. Farther
east, a front will weaken over the mainland Wednesday, though
light snow accumulations remain possible across Southwest and
Southcentral. There is poor agreement beyond this timeframe,
however another round of snow appears possible Thursday/Friday as
another low moves near Kodiak. The ECMWF shows the aforementioned
high pressure moving over Southcentral by Saturday morning,
however the GFS indicates a low near Bristol Bay. As such,
confidence is generally low.
