Area forecast discussion, Nov 10, 12:38 PM AKST, 1 hour 56 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 1238 PM AKST Wed Nov 10 2021 .SYNOPSIS... An arctic trough parked over mainland Alaska with dry northeast winds will drift west tonight and Thursday and then push back over the Central Interior Friday and into the weekend. A weak low moving north off of the Eastern Arctic Coast this afternoon is producing low visibilities in snow and blowing snow that will continue into Thursday. Temperatures will remain near normal or below normal into the weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... A 515 dam 500 hpa arctic trough is centered over the Western Interior this afternoon. 850 hpa temps are generally in the 12 below to 18 below range, which is supporting the current cold temperatures after a rather warm past several weeks. A surface high remains over the Canadian Archipelago, with a broad area of low pressure over the N Pacific, which is keeping a northerly gradient through the Bering Strait. Model Discussion... The 10/12z model suite initialized well against the 12 surface analysis and the 12z upper air observations as well as verifying well against the 18z surface analysis. The models are in good agreement with the synoptic scale pattern through the end of the week with no notable issues. Central and Eastern Interior... Increasing clouds this afternoon and tonight as as a low over the Gulf of Alaska streams some moisture north tonight and continuing into the weekends. Temps will remain on the seasonal side, with low temps highly dependent as usual on how much cloud cover there is. Light snow threats will impact mainly the Fortymile Uplands and AK Range, but a flurry can not be ruled out farther north tonight and into the weekend. West Coast and Western Interior... Cold north winds through the Bering Strait and northern Bering Sea continue, with cold interior valleys inland. The coldest temps will continue tonight and Thursday are over the inland valleys around Kotzebue Sound, with temps in the teens to near 20 below in in some areas. Snow showers will continue out over the open waters of the Strait, but will impact the coastal areas more as the low level winds shift from offshore northeast to more due northerly. North Slope and Brooks Range... A low moving north over the eastern Arctic, continues to produce low visibilities in snow and blowing snow from Prudhoe Bay east. Visibilities will improve as the snow and winds diminish on Thursday. Otherwise the weather looks rather quiet into the weekend. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Heavy Freezing Spray Warning for PKZ200-PKZ210-PKZ220-PKZ225- PKZ230-PKZ240. Brisk Wind Advisory for PKZ245. && CCC NOV 21
