Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
542 AM AKDT Tue Aug 10 2021

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A Fall-like weather pattern continues as the jet stream extends
from the Kamchatka Peninsula to the south of the Aleutian Chain
and into the Gulf of Alaska, with an impressive 130+ jet streak.
Within the jet, a potent upper level shortwave trough with an
associated surface low from remnants of former tropical storm
Nida and a frontal system is tracking northward into
Southcentral. The frontal system coupled with moist southerly flow
aloft and dynamic forcing is bringing another round of widespread
moderate to heavy rain from the north Gulf coast into Anchorage
Bowl, the Mat-Su Valleys, and the Copper River Basin. Based on the
CIMSS MIMIC precipitable water imagery, a deep fetch of moisture
extends northeastward to southern Alaska with a series of tropical
systems that will help maintain a very active storm track across
the Pacific for this week. This is demonstrated quite well on the
12Z Anchorage upper air sounding with a saturated profile up to
near 22,000 ft and a total PW value of 0.91." Small craft to gale
force winds can bee seen on the ASCAT passes in response to
tightening pressure gradient as the surface low moves up the
western Gulf.

Meanwhile, moist cyclonic flow aloft associated with the
aforementioned surface low in tandem with a weaker wave near the
Pribilofs is providing light rain over the Bering and Aleutians,
and scattered showers across Southwest, AK. Gusty winds are
funneling through gaps and passes of the central Aleutians and
southern AKPEN.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models are in consolidated agreement with the synoptic scale
features and on track for an active and wet pattern in the short
term. During the middle and latter part of the week, the minor
differences emerges where the wave train of tropical systems or
jet position will track, including another storm system expected
to impact areas of Southcentral on Wednesday. The bulk of moisture
and precipitation seems to be concentrated from eastern Prince
William Sound and Southeast Alaska with scattered showers
elsewhere as a North Pacific ridge builds over the southeastern
Gulf. However, slight deviations are appearing on various model
solutions associated with the jet position that could lead to
significant changes for Southcentral. Out west, a general
troughing pattern will continue to provide cloudy, showery, and
cool conditions in the Bering, Aleutians, and Southwest, AK.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...Moderate to heavy rain continuing with ceiling and
visibility changing at times from MVFR to potentially IFR. Rain
will taper off later today with improved VFR conditions and winds
coming out of the south.

&&

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

Southcentral Alaska is in prefect location for rain this morning
with a large upper level low over the eastern Bering Sea and a
surface low along the north Gulf coast. The surface low is the
remnants of former tropical storm Nida which is providing abundant
moisture over the area. The heavy rain should move farther to the
east today as the old Nida low moves through Prince William Sound
and then into the Yukon territory this evening. However, there
will remain showers over the region, due to the persistent
southwest flow aloft and numerous short waves moving along the
southwest flow. The flow aloft will remain southwest due to
another longwave trough digging southward into the Bering Sea
keeping this typical August pattern intact.

By Wednesday afternoon, the next low will move into the Gulf of
Alaska. This one is elongating as it move into the Gulf and that
is adding another layer of complexity in handling its track and
rainfall amounts. Currently it looks like the heaviest rainfall
will occur from Cordova eastward, though there is a chance the
heavier rain could begin closer to Seward and spread eastward from
there. In either case, the upper level low will still be over the
Bering Sea producing southwest flow aloft over Cook Inlet,
Anchorage, and the Mat-Su valleys in a pattern that looks a lot
like the current one from this morning.

&&

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

There is a longwave trough that spans from Kamchatka to mainland
Alaska. A series of shortwaves are expected to push through the
area this forecast period keeping cloudy skies and showers in the
region for days that will keep the area unsettled. The radars at
King Salmon and Bethel have both detected light showers early this
morning. These intermittent showers will linger today and then a
second low will push into Southwest Alaska Wednesday night. This
system will contain modified tropical airmass.

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

Semisopochnoi Volcano (which is located about 140 nautical miles
west of Adak) has been active and emitting volcanic ash. The ash
plume extends east-northeast of the crater. A series of tropical
lows will move from the West Pacific Basin to the North Pacific
and get entrained into the northern jet. The two tropicals of
interest are "Extra Tropical Storm Mirinae" and "Extra Tropical
Storm Lupit". Expect periodic rain for portions of the Aleutian
Island Chain and the Pribilofs over the coming days.

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

The transition to a quieter weather pattern for both the Gulf and
Bering will be ongoing at the start of the forecast period on
Thursday, with a low in the Gulf moving onshore near Prince
William Sound by Thursday night. There is some uncertainly
remaining for the exact timing for the low to move inland, but the
general change in sensible conditions will be about the same
regardless. Seas of 10 to 15 feet and southerly small craft winds
in the central and southern Gulf will decrease to 6 to 10 ft and
below small craft respectively by early Friday morning. Winds will
become westerly over the Gulf through Saturday, with some
potential for winds channeled by terrain to reach small craft
levels from late Friday to Saturday near the Barren Islands and
Kamishak Bay. Seas 7 feet or less and winds below 30 knots are
generally expected for the Bering through Saturday. The one
exception may be along the Western Aleutians north of a low
tracking across the North Pacific, where easterly winds up to
small craft and seas of 8 to 12 feet are possible from Friday to
Saturday.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 3 through 7: Thursday through
Monday)...

Active weather continues going into the end of the week. The
longwave pattern shows upper level troughing over the entire
mainland of Alaska. The core of the jet on the south side of this
trough shoots into around Yakutat. This means later in the week we
can expect weather systems to begin to take more of an easterly
track in the Gulf, with troughing generally shifting east a bit.
As we go into the weekend, models are showing that the overall
pattern becomes faster moving and transitions to a bit more zonal
in nature. This should mean quicker, more transient areas of inclement
and fair weather. In the Bering, models are also showing the next
big system moving into the Aleutians from the North Pacific.

It should be noted that while models generally agree on the
overall pattern to start the long term, they have not been consistent
due to our current tropical influence that degrades their performance.
So, while models do agree to start the long term we have to temper
that with our local knowledge of model performance. Therefore,
moderate confidence later in the week. Models develop disparity in
weather system placement going into the weekend, so confidence
dropping below moderate on placement of those systems. We can say
with confidence that weather will remain active for Southcentral
and somewhat quiet in the Bering. Expect more wet weather with
some sunshine breaking through intermittently.
