Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 559 AM AKST Thu Dec 16 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Temperatures across the Interior have substantially warmed overnight and will continue to do so in the next coming days. The first of 3 systems in the short term forecast period is along the West Coast this morning and will weaken as it moves inland today. A second system will track in the Bering impacting the West Coast early Friday and then move inland. A third and much stronger system will track across Russia with a front extending southeast and it is expected to first reach the West Coast Saturday into Sunday. Monday into Tuesday will be something to watch for the Interior as a potential heavy snowfall event of several inches. && .DISCUSSION... Aloft... Models in good agreement over the all around upper level pattern through the weekend. A ridge of high pressure is shifting east and building north over much of the state today, while longwave troughing over the west. Behind the ridge, a shortwave trough will follow and flatten the ridge to a more zonal flow pattern over the state into Friday. Ridging then builds back in late Friday and is followed by a much stronger shortwave trough that will track east on Saturday. Behind that, yet again, ridging builds in from the west. The dominant southwest to westerly flow over the state is a favorable direction for moisture making it into the Interior. Surface... Models at the surface also in good agreement through at least Saturday with little differences. Day three or Saturday into Sunday is where disagreement begins. So there is still a lot of uncertainty with the system that may bring heavy snowfall to the Interior. The 00Z GFS was the easily defined outlier, however, the 16/06Z run has cut down on some of the bullish amounts. Still, this is something to be monitored with each new model run. Central and Eastern Interior... Clouds and warmer air aloft has moved into the region overnight. Expect temperatures to continue to increase into next week and even some above zero readings. Chances for snow will begin to increase today as moisture enters the Interior from the west. Winds will also increase for higher terrain, the Tanana Valley Jet, Eagle, and through the AK Range Passes, but should subside into Friday. Besides the far southeastern part of the Interior and shadowed out region of the Alaska Range, most places will see up to 1 inch of snow with this first system. Another round of snowfall is expected on Saturday where more than 1 inch is possible. West Coast and Western Interior... The first storm along the coast this morning will be wrapping up as it continues to weaken and snow tracks east. The next system will arrive early Friday bringing more snow and winds to the West Coast and Interior. Although this system won't be as strong compared to the first due to its track and overall weaker pressure. The third storm will arrive on Saturday and is forecast to be the strongest of the three. Widespread blizzard conditions, heavy snow with up to a foot or more for southern facing higher terrain, southwest winds across the sea to create coastal impacts, and with warmer temperatures, the possibility of mixed or freezing precipitation. North Slope and Brooks Range... Blowing snow and reduced visibilities along the coast this morning due to strong easterly winds. Winds will begin to subside later tonight. Strong southerly winds through the Brooks Range passes will persist until the afternoon today and then pick back up on Friday where gusts as high as 35 mph are possible. As temperatures begin to increase, the cold wind chills felt by a lot of locations this morning will erode. As the first front moves over the mainland, increasing chances for snow today through Friday mostly west of Point Thompson. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... The third storm will bring southwest gales blowing across the Bering Sea Saturday into Monday, and across the Chukchi Sea Sunday into Monday. This will bring a chance of coastal flooding along the West Coast and Western Arctic Coast Sunday into Monday. At this time it looks similar to the flooding that occurred along the West Coast a week and a half ago. Extended Forecast Days 4 through 7... Significant snowfall is possible across the Interior Sunday night into Tuesday; however, there is still uncertainty with the details of this system. Stay tuned as this system comes into better focus in the coming days. And after this system, it appears as though the West Coast will continue to remain active as another front may enter the region next Wednesday. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
