Area forecast discussion, Feb 27, 12:05 PM AKST, 18 hours 14 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 1205 PM AKST Sat Feb 27 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Ongoing snow event will continue over the Interior mainly to the south of the Yukon River where an additional 1 to 3 inches is expected to fall through Sunday. An additional 4 to 7 inches of snow is expected to fall in the Fortymile Country south of Chicken through Monday. Northeast winds of 20 to 30 mph along Capes of the West Coast, through Brooks Range Passes and over summits of Interior Highways are causing wind chills of 40-50 below and areas of reduced visibility in blowing snow that will last through Sun, and possibly into Mon. Gusty northwest winds are expected to develop this evening in the Upper Tanana Valley and gusty northerly winds are expected to develop in the Alaska Range this evening and will produce low visibilities in blowing snow. Well below normal temperatures over the North Slope and West Coast will persist into next week, and are expected to spread into the Interior next week. && .DISCUSSION... Aloft at 500 hpa, the long wave pattern consists of a trough from the Canadian Archipelago across northern Alaska into the Bering, with ridge over the Eastern Pacific and southern Alaska. A series of strong short wave troughs will continue to move east through the ridge and gradually pull the long wave trough east over Mainland Alaska by Tuesday and remaining there into mid-week. This will keep a snowy pattern over Southern Interior through Mon, with dramatic cooling next week under the long wave trough. Brief southerly flow aloft this evening will cause snow to taper off over the Fairbanks area before flow weakens late tonight and snow redevelops late tonight and continues into Sunday. At the surface, a ridge of high pressure centered in Eastern Siberia and extending east over the Southern Chukchi Sea and north of the Arctic Coast of Alaska will persist through Mon. A weather front stretching from the Yukon Delta to Eagle will weaken tonight. This is causing snow across most of the area south of the Yukon River. An Arctic Cold front along the West Coast will move to the Western Interior tonight to the Central Interior on Sun PM, and southeast of the area on Sun night. Snow will taper off along and west of this cold front. The pressure gradient between these features is causing northeast winds of 20 to 30 mph along Capes of the West Coast, through Brooks Range Passes and over summits of Interior Highways along with wind chills of 40-50 below and areas of reduced visibility in blowing snow that will last through Sun, and possibly into Mon. This winds and blowing snow will spread to the Alaska Range and Alaska Highway after midnight tonight. A 988 mb low currently located near Kodiak will continue to deepen to 974 mb as it pushes east near Prince William Sound Sunday morning and then weakens to around 986 mb as it moves inland near Yakutat on Monday. Snow wrapping around this low will continue to impact the Southeast Interior into Monday. A 978 mb low southwest of Shemya will deepen and move to just north of Shemya as a 956 mb low by Sunday afternoon, and then move into the central Bering Sea as a 956 mb low by Monday afternoon. This will ramp up winds again along the West Coast on Monday. Models initialized well against the 12z surface analysis and verified well against the 18z surface analysis. Model spread from model run to model run continues to improve and model spread from model family to model family continues to improve. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory for AKZ207-AKZ208-AKZ210-AKZ213-AKZ217. Winter Storm Warning for AKZ221.
