Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 515 PM AKST Fri Nov 18 2022 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... Strong high pressure continues to stretch from western Canada and towards the interior of Alaska with it bowing towards Southwest Alaska and the eastern Bering. A pair of low pressure systems are moving out of the north Pacific and into the Gulf these will eventually bring rain and snow near the coast this weekend. Radar is quiet with no echoes observed across the area. Temperatures are below zero across the Copper River Basin with teens and twenties across most populated areas of Southcentral and temperatures in the 40s above 1,000 feet or so as a strong inversion is still in place. Otherwise near the coast temperatures are a bit warmer mainly in the 30s to near 40. South of the western Aleutians another low pressure is tracking south of the Aleutians through the weekend. Otherwise quiet across most of the west with light rain reported at Bethel and across the southern Alaska Peninsula with temperatures mainly in the 30s and 40s across most of the Aleutians, Pribilofs, AKPen, and Southwest Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models have come into better agreement through Sunday morning as a pair of low pressure systems moving northward across the Gulf bring rain and snow near coastal locations. The models have locked on to the western track of the second low towards the eastern Kenai Peninsula Saturday into early Sunday. By Sunday afternoon through Monday another upper level shortwave with surface low moves across the Gulf, but there is more uncertainty with the track and intensity of this surface low as the GFS is much deeper with the EC showing an open wave while the NAM and GEM show weaker lows. The forecast challenges through the weekend will be the slight possibility of freezing precipitation across interior valleys of the eastern Kenai Peninsula with the onset of precipitation on Saturday, however if any does occur it will likely be short-lived as the inversion weakens and warmer air is expected to move inland as the easterly winds increase ahead of the low. The other challenge will be the possible development of patchy fog tonight for some interior valleys, but hard to pin down where it will form. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist through the TAF package. There is a chance of fog and low clouds tonight/tomorrow morning at IFR or below as it has been observed over the Knik River and Turnagain Arm today. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: tonight through Monday)... Evening satellite imagery shows a lead-wave trough lifting into Southeast Alaska with high clouds moving into Prince William Sound and over Cook Inlet. Southcentral experienced predominantly clear skies today, although some pesky areas of fog persisted along the Turnagain Arm and across the Copper River Basin through the morning hours. Some fog will again be possible tonight into Saturday. Otherwise, changes to the forecast are in store for Southcentral as a ridge of high pressure, responsible for several days of clear skies, finally begins to break down. Expect increasing cloud cover to continue overspreading Southcentral through the weekend. Rain chances will be confined to coastal regions and Prince William Sound through Saturday. Some uncertainty remains with regard to ptypes across the eastern side of the Kenai Peninsula. While the bulk of precipitation should fall as rain, a brief period of freezing rain may develop with negligible accumulations later tonight. Continued warm air advection into the coast should see temperatures climb to above freezing through the rest of the weekend. An upper low then approaches the coast late Saturday into Sunday, helping to reinforce rain chances. Offshore winds oriented parallel to the coast will aid in the development of a barrier jet and gale force winds through the day on Saturday. These winds will gradually diminish through Sunday morning as low pressure lifts inland of the coast. Kodiak can expect to see northeasterly winds at or above 30 mph for most of Saturday as well. Finally, Sunday into Monday rain chances for Southcentral will attempt to expand further inland, though strong easterly flow over the mountains should downslope precipitation and limit any moisture outside of the Chugach and Kenai Mountains. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Monday)... Drier and cooler conditions are in store for Southwest Alaska through Monday. The shortwave currently extending across the Kuskokwim Delta and Alaska Peninsula will depart to the west tonight, bringing an end to rain. However, the fog that has developed over Kuskokwim Delta may linger through tonight and into tomorrow morning in the absence of stronger winds to help mix it out. Other parts of Southwest Alaska should see a few hours of clearer skies tonight into tomorrow morning. Clouds will increase from south to north beginning Saturday morning as a Gulf low moves towards the Eastern Kenai Peninsula. The bulk of moisture will remain along the North Gulf coast, so most of Southwest Alaska should stay dry. The exception will be along the Alaska Peninsula, where an occluded front will bring rain showers as it tracks eastward from Saturday through Sunday. Precipitation chances increase across Southwest as the occluded low itself arrives at the Alaska Peninsula on Sunday night. Otherwise, expect temperatures to trend colder over the next few days as northerly flow helps usher in cooler air. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Monday)... Active weather is in store for the region through Monday as an occluding low tracks east across the Aleutian Chain and Alaska Peninsula. Expect light rain and winds largely below small craft speeds ahead of the low. As the low continues to occlude, precipitation should become more showery and sporadic in nature. The bigger story will be northerly winds and cold temperatures along the backside of the low. Gale force winds will persist along the Western Aleutians and Bering Sea through Saturday evening. As an upper level trough pushes into the Bering Sea from the west, this swath of gale force winds will strengthen and begin to track eastward. Model differences with the speed of the upper level trough make it difficult to ascertain how quickly these northerly gales will move eastward, and it's possible that locations such as the Pribilof Islands could see winds reach small craft speeds or greater as early as Sunday night. What we have greater confidence in is that the Western Aleutians and Bering will begin to see nighttime lows dip towards freezing by early Monday morning. Colder air temperatures in combination with strong winds and low sea surface temperatures mean that freezing spray is likely in the Northern Bering Sea. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Tuesday through Friday) Looking ahead in the extended forecast, the latest model runs and ensemble guidance are in fairly decent agreement with the evolution and progression of the synoptic features. The strong upper ridge over mainland Alaska breaks down at the start of the period, but will help deflect the main storm track to the south. At the start of the period, a series of low pressure systems are expected to track from the North Pacific into the Gulf of Alaska. Because of the small to mid-scale interaction of embedded features moving upstream, models have yet to iron out the intensity and track of these systems for the coastal areas of Southcentral. The first deep low moves into the central Gulf Monday through Tuesday, with heavier precipitation pushing onshore along western Prince William Sound (PWS) and eastern Kenai Peninsula. This system may develop a barrier jet along the north gulf coast and downslope the amount of moisture streaming inland. By Tuesday, precipitation increases across the inland valleys and throughout the mountainous areas as the low moves between Cook Inlet and PWS. A second deep low moves into the eastern Gulf Wednesday through Thursday, with most of the precipitation along eastern PWS and the northern Alaska Panhandle. Out west, a deep trough and strong upper low over eastern Russia moves southward into the Bering Sea between Monday and Tuesday. Ahead of the trough/low, a cold front pushes across western Alaska and brings scattered showers with below normal temperatures. For the eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula, the main feature to note is the colder air advection promoting localized gusty winds out of the bays and passes. Cold, northerly flow over the relatively warm waters will also help generate widespread showers over the Pribilof Islands and along the Aleutian Chain. By midweek, an amplified ridge builds across the western/central Aleutians before unsettled conditions returns with another upper trough/low developing between Wednesday and Thursday. The GFS/EC/CAN are advertising a deep surface low and front with increasing warm, southerly winds that will impact the western Bering/Aleutians during the middle part of next week. && .AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
