Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
434 AM AKDT Wed Aug 4 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

High pressure is in place over mainland Alaska, with low pressure
being held in place over the Bering Sea/Aleutians, and a secondary
area of low pressure southeast Gulf of Alaska. The gulf low has
been ejecting shortwaves sometimes called "easterly waves" across
portions of Southcentral. Numerous lightning strikes were observed
between Fort Greely and Paxson yesterday evening. Hazy conditions
were observed at Anchorage which is the result of smoke being
transported from the northeast. Over the Bering on satellite
imagery (CIMSS MIMIC PW) there is a fetch of modified tropical
moisture entrained into the front that extends well north of St
Paul Island.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Synoptically models remain in good agreement. At 500 mb the models
have a robust high ranging 579 DAM to 582 DAM centered over the
Brooks Range. The magnitude of this high is an anomaly.
Additionally, there is a 500 mb closed low over the eastern Gulf
with shortwaves getting ejected. By Thursday, the models show the
upper level high moving northwestward out of Alaska but the low in
the southeastern Gulf features continues to wobble around. The
models are struggling with the timing and the placement of theses
shortwaves/"easterly waves". Additionally with the low in the
Bering, the run to run continuity with its eastward progression
has shifted. On the HRRR there were 2 sources for the smoke
impacting South Central...one from the Alaska Interior and also
from the Yukon Territory.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3...Wed
through Fri)... The train of easterly waves continue to roll
through the area. The first one was Monday night into Tue. Now
there is another one moving through this morning. The track is
laid by the presence of a strong area of high pressure over
interior AK with an extremely persist stacked low over the
northeast Gulf of AK. Each wave is bringing another round of
clouds and light rain, with the best chance for steady
precipitation from the southern Copper River Basin through about
the Seward area. A few stray showers on the western fringe of the
wave will try to move from Palmer down through Anchorage this
morning. However, they are running into some dry air and
struggling to produce anything more than virga. The threat for
showers will linger across the southern mainland through the day
until this wave clears the area to the west. As some sun works in
between the clouds later this afternoon, this should provide just
enough instability to warrant a slight chance of thunderstorms
over the mountains. The best chance for these will be along the
Talkeetna Mountains. High temperatures will once again be
moderated by the presence of some clouds and possibly some
lingering smoke/haze from northern Canada.

High pressure will re-establish itself on Thu. This will lead to
another mostly sunny day with warm temperatures and generally dry
conditions. The high will not be strong enough to limit all
convective potential, so we still expect some mountain afternoon showers.
By late Thu, a broad trough will slide into the area from the
Alaska Peninsula. As it does so, it will bring some steady, light
rain to Kodiak. Models have trended much weaker with this feature
while simultaneously strengthening any high pressure over the
southern mainland. This means for Friday, even though clouds will
infiltrate most of the area, we have lowered the PoPs as we only
expect some showers later in the day. If the models continue this
trend, Friday could turn into a very pleasant and much drier day.

&&

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

Persistent upper level ridging finally begins breaking down
over the next couple of days. Today will be the last of the clear
dry days across Southwest as shortwaves move into the area from
both the east and the west. A trough extending off a Bering low
moves towards the Southwest Coast, bringing increased cloud cover,
light rain showers, and some gusty winds stretching from the AKPen
to the Kuskokwim Delta by this evening. Meanwhile, a wave of
energy off a Gulf low moves through Southcentral and cross the
Alaska Range late tonight, producing enough convection to initiate
thunderstorm activity along the mountain range and across the
Kuskokwim Valley. Temperatures will also come back down into the
60s, becoming more representative of a typical Southwest August.

&&

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

A low pressure system pushes northward across the Bering through
today, whose front slowly moves towards the Southwest Coast. There
is a rather large amount of tropical moisture being advected along
the frontal boundary, producing significant amounts of rainfall
to the Pribilof Islands and across the eastern Bering through
today. This front eventually makes its way onshore as the low
moves out of the area towards eastern Russia. Flow will be mostly
southerly across the majority of the Bering through the short
term. Areas of gales persist across the northern Bering, with
widespread small craft surrounding the low, today, before
diminishing after the low exits.

&&

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

Good agreement on Friday among models across the Bering and
Aleutians, however Saturday and Sunday large differences emerge
on the track of a low pressure system moving into the Bering by
Saturday. So forecast confidence is low for Saturday and Sunday. A
low pressure system will move towards the central Aleutians and
central Bering Friday night this could potentially bring Gale
force winds out of bays and passes north of the AKPEN mainly from
Port Heiden down to around Cold Bay. Otherwise expect areas of
small craft winds near this low pressure. Seas may approach 10
feet near the low especially on Pacific side of the Aleutians, but
low confidence on seas after Friday. Across the Gulf better model
agreement with a front that will move across the area late
Saturday into Sunday, so good forecast confidence for this area.
Friday a trough will move across the western Gulf with winds less
than small crafts. Then by Saturday night a front moves into the
southern Gulf and tracks north on Sunday there is some slight
difference on how fast it moves into northern Gulf by late Sunday,
but overall just minor at this time. Expect small craft winds
mainly near Kodiak Island, Shelikof Strait and the Barren Islands
Saturday night and Sunday, there is a chance of near Gale force
winds in the Barren Islands. Otherwise seas will remain below 10
feet.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7: Saturday through Tuesday)...

The long term will feature a broad area of low pressure over the
Bering with the upper trough extending inland with several
shortwaves as well as frontal systems moving across the Bering and
into Southwest and Southcentral through the long term as south
westerly flow aloft sets up Sunday across Southcentral. This will
bring cooler temperatures with mostly cloudy conditions and
periods of rain. On Saturday an upper level shortwave will swing
across Southcentral bringing showers. While a front moves out of
the Bering into the Southwest Saturday bringing rain and winds to
that area, this front will move across Kodiak and towards
Southcentral bringing rain to this area late Saturday and Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday will feature periods of rain as shortwave
energy moves across the Southwest and Southcentral. Overall good
confidence with the overall long wave pattern but low confidence
on timing of shortwaves and low pressure systems embedded in the
long wave pattern.
