Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
419 PM AKST Sat Feb 6 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

An upper level ridge is positioned over the western Gulf with an
axis extending to the northwest along the western coast of
Alaska. Upstream, an upper level trough is in place over the
western Bering with a 975 mb low at the surface, centered west of
Shemya. The front associated with this low is gradually
traversing the Bering and tracking eastward, bringing gusty
southerly winds and rain to the central Aleutians. With a strong
ridge maintaining its hold over the Gulf, a plume of moisture
extending from the tropics is being steered over the central
Aleutians, leading to abundant precipitation. Meanwhile over
Southcentral, offshore flow has kept skies clear and a cold
Arctic airmass remains in place over much of the Mainland.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Model solutions continue to remain in fairly good agreement
through the short term. There are some discrepancies across
solutions regarding the timing of a front arriving to the
Southwest coast of Alaska Monday morning. Right now, the NAM is
the most aggressive, bringing this front inland; however, the GFS
depicts the front stalling over the eastern Bering and offering
only minimal precipitation across the Southwest coast. This will
be something to monitor over the next few model runs.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...LIFR conditions are expected with fog and stratus over the
terminal. Conditions may briefly improve to MVFR, however fog is
expected to linger through Sunday morning.

&&

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

Again, patchy fog and low stratus continue to linger over portions
of Southcentral mainly near Cook Inlet. It's taking a little
longer than originally expected to scour out. Synoptic-wise, there
is a 1040 mb surface high north of the Brooks Range and an
inverted trough bisecting Prince William Sound. By Monday morning,
the models have the surface high at 1064 mb with the ridge
extending to the Alaska Range. This pattern is going to produce
widespread brutally cold temperatures. This pattern shows no sign
of breaking down anytime soon, so expect the bitter cold to be a
long duration event.

&&

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

An upper level ridge will dominate Southwest Alaska with some high
clouds spilling into the area. Patchy fog is possible around the
Bristol Bay region mainly around King Salmon. Elsewhere winds
will increase from the north tonight keeping fog out of the
western parts of Bristol Bay including Dillingham and the
Kuskokwim Delta.

Sunday evening through Monday morning a front will approach from
the eastern Bering this will bring some light precipitation. There
may be a period of freezing rain or sleet Sunday night through
Monday morning from Nunivak Island and the coastal areas of the
Kuskokwim Delta. There is still some uncertainty between models
on precipitation type, but there appears to be a warm layer aloft
that could produce freezing precipitation. There may also be a
period of blowing snow Sunday night or Monday morning but not
expected to reach advisory levels. On Monday, afternoon the warm
layer will weaken and all precipitation should be snow with up to
5 inches of snowfall possible on Nunivak Island with less than 2
inches along coastal areas of the Kuskokwim Delta.

Tuesday the front will weaken with some light snow possible
mainly across the Bristol Bay region.

&&

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

Several fronts and lows will impact the Bering Sea and Aleutians
through Tuesday.

A front with pockets of storm force winds is slowly moving across
the central Bering and eastern Aleutians. This system has a
tropical connection with a plume of moisture seen on CIMSS MIMIC
satellite imagery moving across the Unalaska Island area and into
the southern Bering. This will bring one to two inches of
additional rainfall on top of the inch or so that has already
fallen. This will cause some minor issues with ponding of rain on
roads around Dutch Harbor and Cold Bay. Additionally gusty winds
up to 60 mph area possible along this front from Nikolski to Cold
Bay these winds will gradually decrease overnight and tomorrow
morning as the front moves east. This front will gradually weaken
Sunday afternoon through Monday across the eastern Bering and
AKPEN area.

Another front with storm force winds will approach the western
Aleutians Sunday evening through Monday morning this front will
move northeast and weaken on Monday as it encounters a strong
ridge to the east. Tuesday a low will form along the front across
the western and central Aleutians producing high end Gales there
could possibly be storm force winds but uncertainty exists between
model solutions.

Finally, a north Pacific low will approach the eastern Aleutians
and AKPEN Tuesday but uncertainty on details of how this low will
evolve.

&&

.MARINE (Days 3 through 5: Tue through Thu)...

Gulf of Alaska: A front persists over the Northern Gulf Coast on
Tuesday. Models begin to diverge on Wednesday as a North Pacific
low lifts into the forecast area. Winds will begin to increase
Thursday morning as a gale force front enters the Gulf waters
throughout the day on Thursday. The biggest uncertainty is the
timing of this front.

Bering Sea: A front stretches over the northern Bering though
late Tuesday as it continues to lift northward. The next North
Pacific system south of the Chain will extend its front across
the Aleutians by Tuesday afternoon. Models are in good agreement
in the general position of this low, but are having more
difficulty handling the strength and where the low will track as
it lifts northward through Thursday. In any case, models are in
good agreement that widespread gale force winds will spread across
the Bering starting Wednesday morning and continuing through
Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Wed through Sat)...

A very cold and dry pattern is expected across the Alaskan
mainland for the extended period. The coldest temperatures will be
at the start of the period on Wednesday and temperatures will
gradually moderate through Saturday. Teleconnections support an
upper level ridge building across the Alaskan mainland on
Wednesday and continue through Saturday as the Arctic Oscillation
will be very strong in the negative phase while the East Pacific
Oscillation is expected to be in the negative phase. There is good
ensemble agreement that the surface pressure pattern will favor
offshore flow as higher pressure is expected farther inland across
the Alaska interior with lower pressure over the North Pacific
Ocean and Bering Sea. This surface pressure pattern will keep
temperatures very cold as the offshore flow pattern means cold air
from the Alaskan interior will make its way toward the coast.
Temperatures should moderate throughout the period due to the
upper level ridging persisting across the area combined with the
core of the high pressure moving farther to the east over Yukon
Territory. This will support the weakening of the strong offshore
flow and allow temperatures to moderate, especially in coastal
areas.

With respect to storm tracks, most activity is expected to remain
over the Bering/Aleutians. Ensembles show negative Mean Sea Level
Pressure (MSLP) anomalies across the Bering/Aleutians while
deterministic models show lows moving from the North Pacific into
the Bering Sea during the extended period. There is a much lower
confidence on the exact tracks of these potential systems as the
highest standard deviation in ensemble member MSLP for both the
GEFS and GEPS exist over the Bering/Aleutians as well as the
deterministic models showing disagreement in the exact placement
of these lows. Deterministic models show waves of upper level
energy associated with these storms in the Bering Sea moving over
the western Alaskan mainland on Friday and thus could bring a
chance of snow, though confidence is very low at this time with
respect to the placement and orientation of these waves.
