Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 335 PM AKST Fri Feb 19 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Light snow continuing this afternoon for the Fairbanks area and east. Snow is expected to taper off this evening and then slowly clear out in the Fairbanks area by tomorrow morning. Snow in the eastern Interior will linger through tonight, while blowing snow through Alaska Range passes and east of Tok will dissipate this evening. Skies will then clear in the Eastern Interior with colder temperatures will settle in for the weekend across northern Alaska with wind chill issues across the North Slope and West Coast going into next week. && .DISCUSSION... At 500 mb, a longwave trough continues to drive the weather for northern Alaska this afternoon. A shortwave currently cutting through the center of the state and south into the Gulf of Alaska will move east into Canada by tomorrow morning. A second shortwave trough currently north of the Arctic Coast will move south over the North Slope by tomorrow morning and then continue to push south and east going into Sunday night. A strong upper level closed low north of Banks Island will slide southwest over the next couple of days, but confidence of the track of this low is decreasing going into next week as models differ on placement. Overall, this feature looks like it won't dig across the North Slope, but will have to continue to monitor throughout the weekend. At 850 mb, colder temperatures have settled across northern Alaska, as temperatures have dropped from -13C to -26C over 12 hours according to sounding data from Fairbanks. Temperatures ranging from -20C to -30C are going to remain across most of the state going into next week. A strong cold core low with central temperatures around -40C will move south of Banks Island by early next week, but will remain off the eastern Beaufort Sea Coast. However, there are model discrepancies of where this low will track beyond Monday. At the surface, high pressure is anchored across the Interior and cutting north across the North Slope. A decaying surface low in the Gulf of Alaska is keeping clouds and snow in the Eastern Interior this afternoon. North winds through the Alaska Range passes will persist through this evening as the pressure gradient remains tight due to the surface low in the Gulf of Alaska and surface high pressure in the Interior. An occluded front associated with a surface low in the western Bering will create conditions for a new surface low to develop as the energy moves into the Gulf of Alaska by tomorrow morning. Overall, quiet conditions for northern Alaska, with colder temperatures in the 20s to 40s below for most places that clear out through the weekend. Days 4 to 7...Weak ridging looks to build early next week before another strong trough from the Bering pushes the ridging to the east. This trough is indicating a change from cold and dry conditions from this weekend to a warmer and wetter pattern going into the middle of the week for areas along the West Coast and portions of the Interior. Surface features such as low placement and frontal movement have a lot of uncertainty at this point, but will be trends to monitor as time moves closer to this potential event. Central and Eastern Interior... Light snow has lingered in the Fairbanks area this afternoon. Current radar is indicating these conditions to continue into this evening. Areas east of Fairbanks are having more consistent snowfall, with these conditions continuing into tonight. As the snow tapers off, clouds are expected to move out of the Fairbanks area tonight, with temperatures dropping into the 20s and 30s below zero by tomorrow morning. Strong north winds through Alaska Range passes expected to persist into this evening before relaxing by tomorrow morning. North Slope and Brooks Range... Cloudy conditions have developed across most of the North Slope this afternoon. Wind chill issues have subsided slightly across the eastern Arctic coast, but an extended Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect due to persistent winds out of the west and cold temperatures remaining in the area through the weekend. Occasional blowing snow issues are not out of the question on top of the wind chill issues. Temperatures expected to remain near or slightly below climatological normal going into next week. West Coast and Western Interior... Quiet conditions continuing this afternoon, but stratus has begun to move into the Western Interior in association with a decaying front that has moved south of the Brooks Range. Areas remaining cloud free will see very cold temperatures tonight, with cloudy areas seeing temperatures 10-20 degrees warmer. North winds will develop off the West Coast, increasing chances for colder wind chills going into tomorrow as temperatures look to remain in the 10s to 20s below zero going into next week. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory for AKZ203-AKZ204-AK213-AK214-AK214-AK225. Winter Weather Advisory for AKZ223-AKZ224-AKZ226. && FEB 21
