Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
437 AM AKDT Wed Jun 30 2021

.SYNOPSIS...Heavy rains in the Western Brooks Range will be
tapering off, but a Flood Advisory and a Flood Watch remain in
effect for the drainages out of the area. Showers moving up the
West Coast and to St Lawrence Island today. Clearing skies in the
Interior from Galena east. Winds increasing on St Lawrence
Island today with gusts around 50 mph Thursday. Winds in the
Interior will be variable to 10 mph today, then increasing winds
near the Alaska Range passes with gusts to 35 mph Thursday.
Temperatures rising with highs in the Interior in the 70s
today, and the 70s to mid 80s Thursday and Friday.

.DISCUSSION...

Models...Not seeing a lot of changes from the previous solutions,
and the 30/00Z solutions are in good agreement. Also not much
change if any in the surface solutions, and they initialized well
against the 30/06Z local analysis. Ridging will dominate south of
the Brooks Range through the short term, with troughing over the
Arctic and to the southwest over the Aleutians. Convective
indicies are pretty marginal today and Thursday, then slightly
better on Friday north of the Yukon River. Will not be making any
big changes to the current forecast database, but will increase
the winds on St Lawrence Island today and tomorrow, and near the
Alaska Range passes Thursday and Friday.

Aloft...At 500 hpa...Troughing remains over the Arctic extends
southwest from a 515 dam low 500 nm north of Demarcation Point
with a sharp trough extending just north of Wrangel Island with
zonal flow over the southern Arctic. Several waves are moving
through the zonal flow across the Arctic Coast today. Over
mainland Alaska a 564 dam low that was over the Copper River Basin
has moved over the AlCan Border near McCarthy, and ridging has
pushed north over the Western Interior and is pushing northeast
into the Central Interior this morning. Troughing remains over the
Bering Sea as a 529 dam low has moved over Adak this morning. By
this afternoon the low in the Arctic will continue east to the
Canadian Archipelago with the trough extending to just south of
Wrangel Island and zonal flow remaining over the southern Arctic.
The low east of McCarthy will move over Yakutat at 567 dam as the
ridging pushes northwest over St Lawrence Island, and north to the
Brooks Range over the Interior with 570 dam heights moving over
the southern Interior. The troughing will remain over the Bering
Sea as the low moves over Atka at 530 dam. By Thursday morning the
troughing over the arctic will slide to the southeast, but remain
over the offshore waters and the Northwest Chukchi Sea. Ridging
over the state will continue as it continues to push to the
northwest over the Chukotsk Peninsula and north over the Brooks
Range with 570 dam heights from the Yukon River southeast. The low
over Atka will move 100 nm southeast of Atka at 528 dam, and the
low over Yakutat will move southeast over the Panhandle. Thursday
afternoon ridging over the state will be anchored by a 576 dam
high over McCarthy with ridging extending northwest over the
Chukchi Sea and north over the Arctic Plain. The troughing over
the Arctic will continue to drag east and remain offshore, while
the low near Atka will move to 150 nm south of Unalaska. At 850
hpa...The 0C isotherm lies from Kaktovik to Point Hope this
morning with temperatures over the remainder of the forecast area
in the 0C to +7C range. As ridging aloft builds over the area the
+10C isotherm will surge into the southeast Interior and by
Thursday morning it will lie from Eagle to Tanana to Galena then
south with temperatures along the AlCan near +13C. The 0C isotherm
to the north will slowly push north and by Friday afternoon will
be north of the coast, while the +10C will continue to surge to
the northwest and will lie from Old Crow YT along the south slopes
of the Brooks Range to Noatak then southeast to Huslia to
Minchumina to Denali with the warmest temperatures of around +17C
in the Fortymile Country and Upper Yukon Flats. Friday night the
+10C isotherm will start to pull back toward the Yukon Territory
as a cooling trend begins.

Surface...Broad area of low pressure remains over the Arctic, and
south to the Brooks Range, with a 994 mb low in the Northern
Beaufort Sea and low pressure extending southwest to a 1013 mb low
in the Chukchi Sea, then south to a 977 mb low near Atka. A
stalled weather front remains over the Arctic Plain and Brooks
Range. High pressure south of the Brooks Range with a 1019 mb high
near McGrath. The thermal trough remains to the north and east of
Fairbanks, lying from Eagle to Huslia. Thursday morning High
pressure will push north over the Brooks Range with a 1018 mb high
near Coldfoot and high pressure extending south over Prince
William Sound. The front over the Plains will be pushed over the
Eastern Arctic coast and the near shore waters as a 1026 mb high
pushes into the Western Chukchi Sea. The low near Atka will be 100
nm southeast of Atka at 981 mb with a front lying from the
Pribilofs southeast over Sand Point. By Thursday evening that
front will move to the lower Yukon Delta and St Lawrence Island.
Leeside troughing developing north of the Alaska Range Thursday
evening as high pressure holds over the eastern Interior, and a
1025 mb high will move to Utqiagvik. Friday morning the troughing
over the Interior will be enhanced as the decaying front with a
1007 mb low moves to Galena while high pressure holds over
Southcentral and the Copper River Basin. A tight pressure gradient
develops across the Alaska Range, and to the north a 1029 mb high
will move to 100 nm north of Prudhoe Bay and the pressure
gradient across the Brooks Range will tighten as well.
