Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 421 AM AKDT Wed Nov 3 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Active pattern continues with gusty northerly winds and snow showers in the Bering Sea and through the Bering Strait as well as light snow and blowing snow along the Eastern North Slope as a weak low pressure system deepens as it pulls north into the Beaufort Sea tonight and Thursday. Mostly cloudy skies with occasional light snow or flurries will continue over the Western and Central Interior today and tonight. A weak ridge aloft building over the Central and Eastern Interior Thursday will help diminish cloud cover Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will slowly cool through the weekend and into early next week to more seasonal normals with hi temperatures in the Interior in the teens and low temperatures in the single digits to near zero. && .DISCUSSION... Models...The 3/00z model suite initialized well against the 00z surface analysis and upper level observations and verified well against the 06z surface analysis. Model spread remains minimal through the weekend and does not exhibit significant spread until the middle of next week. Aloft at 500 mb broad troughing continues over the Bering Sea and Mainland Alaska while an upper level ridge remains well entrenched over the Northwest Territories. The trough will remain in place over the West Coast of Alaska into Friday as a weak ridge aloft builds north over the Eastern and Central Interior Thursday and Friday. The pattern amplifies with the ridge over the Northwest Territories strengthening and pushing north as well as a ridge that builds north and strengthens over the Western Bering Sea at the same time as the trough over Western Alaska sharpens but weakens slightly through the weekend. Temperatures at 850 mb over Fairbanks currently around 1 below celsius will hold steady Thursday and Friday but begin to fall over the weekend. 850 mb temperatures over Fairbanks will drop to around 8 below on Saturday and around 10 below on Sunday. 850 mb temperatures continue to drop Monday to around 12 below celsius and 15 below celsius on Tuesday. Well above to above temperatures of the last week will drop to seasonal levels by late in the weekend and at or slightly below normal by early next week with high temperatures struggling to reach the teens and lows dropping into the single digits above and below zero over the interior. On the surface a 983 mb low near 80N and the dateline will continue to weaken and move northwest. A 989 mb low over Bristol Bay will continue to weaken and push south and east into the Northwestern Gulf of Alaska today and into Thursday. Gusty northerly winds will continue through the Bering Strait and through the northern Bering Sea. Minor water level elevations are possible along the northern coastline of St Lawrence Island with the long duration northerly winds. A weak low will develop over the Eastern North Slope today and will deepen to around 988 mb this evening as it pushes north and east of the McKenzie Delta on Thursday. Gusty northwest winds and light snow will bring reduced visibilities in snow and blowing snow over the Eastern North Slope Wednesday night and Thursday. Stratus, light snow and flurries will continue over the Western Interior the next several days however as an upper level ridge builds north over the Central and Eastern Interior Thursday expect clouds to diminish. As winds and clouds diminish over Interior Valley locations expect strong overnight inversions to develop Thursday night and Friday night. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...Prolonged northerly winds through the Bering Strait and into the Northern Bering Sea will likely produce elevated water levels in the 1 to 2 foot range above normal high tide levels along the northern coast of St Lawrence into Saturday. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Heavy Freezing Spray Warning for PKZ225-PKZ230-PKZ235-PKZ500. Small Craft Advisory for PKZ210-PKZ220-PKZ230-PKZ235. Brisk Wind Advisory for PKZ245. Gale Warning for PKZ225. && CCC NOV 21
