Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
445 AM AKST Sat Dec 24 2022

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

At upper levels, a large blocking ridge centered over the Chukchi
Sea extends south over the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. An
Arctic trough is elongated over most of southern Alaska and
continues to spread a very cold airmass across the Mainland and
eastern Bering and Aleutians.

At the surface, a front extends across the southern Bering and is
decaying as it tracks towards the North Pacific. Rainfall
accompanies the front across the eastern Aleutians. An inverted
trough is spreading mixed precipitation across the Alaska
Peninsula and snow across the southern Bristol Bay area. The rest
of Southwest and Southcentral remain dry and cold this morning.
Gusty northeasterly surface winds persist across portions of
Southcentral but will gradually diminish through today as the
Arctic trough tracks towards the eastern Bering. Blowing snow may
continue to reduce visibility through Thompson Pass and across
portions of the Matanuska Valley this morning. Strong offshore
winds continue along the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay coasts.
Wind Chill Advisories remain in effect through this morning for
Thompson Pass, the Copper River Basin, and the Middle Kuskokwim
Valley.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Models are still struggling with the evolution of a surface
trough near Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula. There is
low confidence in the precipitation forecast for Kodiak Island
and across southwest Alaska in the short term. Models are also
struggling with the evolution of a surface low that is currently
centered over the eastern Gulf and is extending its front along
the east Gulf coast. There is general consensus that the low will
bring light snow to the Cordova/Valdez area this afternoon and
evening and then to the eastern Kenai Mountains during the day on
Sunday. There is still some disagreement on whether or not the
rest of Prince William Sound will see much, if any, precipitation
with this system.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will persist through this TAF period. Gusty
northerly winds are expected to gradually decrease through this
afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through
3/Saturday through Monday night)...

Gusty winds will linger across the Matanuska Valley today due to
the tight pressure gradient between the arctic high to east and a
surface low spinning up near Kodiak Island. These winds, however,
are on the decline from yesterday's peak as the upper-level
trough moves to the southwest, away from the region, and the cold
air advection wanes. Winds will also continue across bays and
passes across Prince William Sound, as well as around Valdez and
Thompson Pass, as a second surface low lifts northwest from the
eastern Gulf. This feature will also begin to spread light snow
across the eastern half of Prince William Sound and the Copper
River Basin later today. There is still some uncertainty as to the
western extent of the snow; however, the latest guidance all have
this swath of snow moving over the eastern Kenai Peninsula by
Sunday morning as the low weakens and an easterly flow aloft sets
up ahead of the next frontal system.

The first low near Kodiak Island, will bring snow and occasional
wind gusts across the island today. Snow will likely move in from
the east later this morning, lingering through late Saturday
evening. Expect mesoscale bands of snow with this feature, which
will make it difficult to nail down snowfall accumulation for any
given location. However, there could be several inches of snow
accumulation for locations under the heaviest and most persist
bands.

Moving into Christmas and beyond, attention shifts to a large
deep low tracking into the Gulf from the Northeast Pacific. A
strong occluded front out ahead of the low will reach the Gulf
coast/Kodiak by late Sunday, bringing widespread gale to storm
force winds across the Gulf coastal waters along with moderate to
heavy precipitation along much of the coastal zone. Prevailing low
level easterly flow will lead to upslope flow and enhanced
precipitation amounts across the eastern Kenai Peninsula
Mountains. Much warmer air will also accompany the front leading
to a fairly quick transition from snow to rain for areas along the
coast near sea level. Snow levels for coastal mountains will
quickly rise Sunday afternoon/evening, reaching 1000 feet or
higher. Precipitation will linger along the coast all the way
through Monday. While some moisture will attempt to cross over the
coastal mountains, dry and cold air inland will make it difficult
to saturate the low levels of the atmosphere. As a result, inland
areas of Southcentral look to remain dry. Temperatures will also
moderate by Monday with winds increasing once again through the
Matanuska Valley and down Cook Inlet in response to the low moving
into the western Gulf just east of Kodiak City.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today
through Tuesday)...

Colder temperatures and northerly offshore flow continues across
the region as a strong shortwave originating from an upper-level
trough located across Yukon, Canada continues to advance westward
towards Bristol Bay. As a result, wind chills across the region
will be in the negative double digits for the next several days.
A Wind Chill Advisory is still in effect for the lower Kuskokwim
Valley until this afternoon. A surface low will track across the
Alaska Peninsula today, but models are having a hard time handling
the exact track of the low, and will therefore, impact where the
highest winds, precipitation, and blowing snow concerns will
be. This forecast package reflects snow continuing for the Alaska
Peninsula today before slowly making its way northward towards the
Bristol Bay region for tonight, and then reaching the Kuskokwim
Delta coast for late tonight into Sunday. As the aforementioned
low tracks northeastward along the Chain, northerly winds will
increase region wide. With this, the potential for blowing snow
coincided with reduced visibilities becomes possible along the
Bristol Bay coast and portions of the Alaska Peninsula. As a
result, a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Bristol
Bay coast. Total snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches along the
southern Bristol Bay coast and 4 to 6 inches along the northern
Bristol Bay coast are expected. Expect visibilities reduced to as
low as 1/2 mile from Dillingham north and west and from Port
Heiden to King Salmon possible as well.

A strong North Pacific low and its associated front will approach
and impact the region Sunday through Tuesday. This will bring a
rain/snow mix to the Alaska Peninsula, while mostly snow is
expected for the western interior portions of Bristol Bay. Higher
accumulations are forecasted to stay confined to the mountain
areas at this time.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Today
through Tuesday)...

Active weather will continue for the Bering and Aleutians for the
next several days. A surface low tracking across the Alaska
Peninsula will today will eventually make its way into the eastern
Bering. Models are having a hard time handling the exact track of
the aforementioned low, but colder air and strong winds are
likely to occur with snow being the main precipitation type for
this system. Depending on where the low tracks and how strong the
winds get, the potential for blowing snow coinciding with reducing
visibilities is possible for some locations. Snow will make its
way to the Pribilofs late tonight into Sunday morning. Strong
winds should move out of the area before the snow hits, but some
blowing snow may still occur.The system then continues westward
through the Bering through Sunday afternoon into the evening
before making a southern turn to the North Pacific while crossing
the central Chain through Monday. Snow amounts appear to be light
for the Aleutians overall, with the highest accumulations confined
to the mountain areas. Be sure to check back in with the forecast
for updates as the evolution of this system becomes more clear.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Tuesday through Friday)...

The latest operational model runs and ensemble means seem to be
in a decent agreement with an upper level low over the western
Bering Sea near Adak, and high pressure remaining over Siberia.
While the upper low sits nearly stationary between Tuesday and
Wednesday, a series of North Pacific systems rotates around the
low, moving north-northeastward past the Aleutians and into the
Gulf of Alaska. This will bring an unsettled pattern for all of
the coastal areas of Southcentral heading into late next week.
While specific details still need to ironed out, persistent
onshore flow will favor moderate to heavy precipitation for the
coast, with much of the mainland remaining relatively dry during
the period. A general troughing pattern out west will result in a
wet pattern for much of the Bering Sea and Aleutians. Cold,
northerly flow over the relatively warm waters will also help
generate widespread showers over the Pribilof Islands and along
the Aleutian Chain.
