Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
742 PM AKDT Wed Sep 14 2022

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A weak upper level low over Southcentral Alaska is currently
moving northeastward. A second upper level low is moving
northeastward across the north central Bering Sea. The jetstream
currently extends northeastward from the subtropical Pacific to
over the western and central Aleutian Islands, then curves
southeastward to over the Gulf and then northeastward to over
Southeast Alaska.

Closer to the surface, radar imagery shows showers slowly moving
northeastward from the northern Gulf of Alaska into Prince William
Sound. A second area of showers are moving southeastward across
the northern Alaska Peninsula. Lastly, a third area of showers is
moving northeastward across the Kuskokwim Delta into the lower
Kuskokwim Valley.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

Forecast confidence remains above average with respect to the
placement and intensity of synoptic scale features. There is a
fairly high degree of consistency in the extratropical transition
of Merbok as well as the track of Merbok after it makes the
extratropical transition and enters the Bering Sea. As newer model
data becomes available anticipate updates to the forecast.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions will persist for this TAF package. Scattered
low clouds between 500-1000ft are possible between 15th/12z and
15th/20z. A weak Turnagain Arm wind is likely to develop after
15th/20z.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through
3: Tonight through Saturday)...

The majority of the very active conditions courtesy of a pair of
powerful lows crossing the Bering Sea will remain confined to
western parts of the state during the next few days, but some
minor impacts to sensible conditions across Southcentral will
still be felt. In the near term through early Thursday, a
sprawling upper trough with several small embedded waves will
finally begin to accelerate east towards the AlCan border and AK
Panhandle region. Pockets of showers will continue to bubble up
this evening into tonight under the trough axis as it shifts east,
particularly out over the Gulf where a relatively warm sea
surface contrasts with cool air aloft yields a weakly unstable
profile. Otherwise, areas of clearing and mostly calm winds ahead
of a passing, weak upper ridge will keep the threat around for
patchy fog development through the early morning, namely for lower
elevations around Cook Inlet and the Copper River Basin.

For the rest of the day Thursday, a front attendant to the first
low moving inland over Southwest will march across the outlook
area from west to east as it begins to shear apart over higher
terrain. Increasing cloud cover and soon to follow light to
moderate, steady rainfall will advance across Southcentral along
the front, first reaching Kodiak Island early Thursday and
subsequently moving up into the Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su Valleys
by the afternoon. Expect southeast gap winds to spike up notably
in intensity ahead of the front as well, with gusty winds reaching
into the Anchorage and Palmer areas Thursday afternoon and
evening from the Turnagain arm and Knik River Valley
respectively. In addition, the low moving over Southwest will
become an open wave trough and push into western portions of
Southcentral by late in the day, providing continued lift and
forcing that will effectively extend the rainfall event well into
Thursday overnight.

Moving into Friday, it looks like another break in the rain will
materialize as a much stronger ridge builds into the southern
mainland out ahead of the by then extratropical remnants of
Typhoon Merbok roaring across the Bering. The transition of this
system into a cold-core low will of course include the
development of attendant frontal boundaries, including a
warm/occluding front that will make a run at crossing the Alaska
Peninsula and Kodiak Island as is heads generally northeast on
Friday. There is some lingering uncertainty regarding how far
north the front will get before it begins to fall apart, but the
associated rainfall will likely get at least as far as the western
Susitna Valley and western Kenai Peninsula by Friday afternoon.
What's left of the front will be shunted farther northeast towards
the Chugach and Talkeetna Mountains through Saturday morning,
potentially sending another quick round of rain through the
Anchorage vicinity along with most of the Prince William Sound and
Mat-Su Valleys. Deep, southwesterly flow developing between
Merbok and the upper ridge sliding east should favor heavier rain
(and snow near ridges/peaks) where enhanced by upslope flow over
the Talkeetna and Chugach Mountains, including the Hatcher Pass
vicinity through Saturday afternoon.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Tonight
through Saturday)...

With the exception of a few lingering showers, most of the region
saw a brief break of drier weather under a weak ridge of high
pressure. An upper trough and surface low pressure setting up
over the northern Bering Sea will advance a front eastward toward
western Alaska. Along and ahead of the front, steadier widespread
rain with southerly winds arrives this evening and continues
through the day Thursday. Daytime highs will mostly be in the mid
50s and overnight lows in the low 40s under cloudy skies. The
front exits the area by late Thursday night with decreasing rain
coverage and diminishing winds.

The next weather maker is associated with a potent storm system,
the extra- tropical remnants of Typhoon Merbok. This system is
expected to move into the northern Bering Sea late Friday into
Saturday. In addition to moderate to heavy rain, southwest winds
are expected to increase by late morning Friday and continue
through Saturday morning. The combination of strong winds and
fetch will also produce a storm surge along the coast, leading to
the potential for coastal erosion and flooding along the Kuskokwim
Delta coast. Therefore, a High Wind Watch and Coastal Flood Watch
has been issued from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
The winds should begin to slowly diminish through Saturday night
as the surface low lifts northward into the Bering Strait.
Confidence is growing with this upcoming storm system, so stay
tuned for latest updates.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3:
Tonight through Saturday)...

An upper trough and surface low pressure over the northern Bering
Sea is pushing a front eastward toward western Alaska. For
tonight, rain with gusty winds will occur along the leading edge
of the front as it crosses the western Bering Sea and Aleutians
Islands. As the front moves inland, storm force to gale force
winds wraps around the backside of the low as it approaches Saint
Matthew Island.

Attention then turns to Typhoon Merbok, transitioning to an
extra- tropical low pressure system as it moves from the West
Pacific Ocean into the Bering Sea from Thursday to Saturday.
Initially, winds will be south to southwest out ahead of the low,
then switch to the west as the low passes to the north. The core
of the strongest winds are expected in an area east of Attu Island
and west of Adak. Therefore, a High Wind Warning has been issued
from Thursday evening through Friday morning for the Western and
Central Aleutians. The winds should begin to slowly diminish
through the day Friday for the regions as the surface low lifts
northward.

For Friday through the weekend, the heaviest rain and strongest
winds will be over the entire Bering Sea, including the potential
for the Pribilof Islands to experience storm to hurricane force
winds. There is some uncertainty in the storm track on Friday, but
current forecasts indicate a swath of strong southwesterly winds
moving over the Islands Friday. Any shift in the track or change
in the intensity could alter the trajectory of the core of
strongest winds. Nonetheless, this is a significant storm that
will be closely monitored, so stay tuned for updates.

.MARINE...

Typhoon Merbok remains as the main issue for the latter part of
this week. It will weaken under typhoon force before it gets to
the Bering Sea, but will rapidly re-intensify and go through the
extra-tropical transition as it ingests cold air from eastern
Russia tonight. There is still some minor uncertainty as to the
exact track and strength of this storm as it moves through the
Bering, however the center of the low should pass over Shemya
Thursday afternoon. It will then track from the Western Bering
Sea to the vicinity of Norton Sound on Saturday. Expect widespread
storm force winds across the Bering with areas of Hurricane Force
winds. The hurricane force winds are most likely from the Western
Aleutians to the Central Bering Sea between Thursday night and
Friday night. Seas are also expected to build rapidly with
widespread 30 to 40 ft seas across the Bering with 40 to 55 ft
seas associated with the strongest winds. This will be a major
Bering Sea Storm and mariners are encouraged begin preparing for
it now.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Sunday through Wednesday)...

Unsettled conditions expected across Southern Alaska through the
extended period, with brief reprieves provided by weak transient
ridging. Several bouts of intense winds and rainfall expected for
both Southwestern Alaska and Southcentral.

By Saturday evening, the intensity of Typhoon Merbok remnants in
the Eastern Bering will have begun to wane, however will still be
producing strong winds blowing into the southwest Alaska
coastline. The concern of heavy winds and rainfall associated with
this low begins to diminish into Sunday evening. Model
discrepancies have eased as the models have come more into line,
increasing our confidence with shorter range products as well as
into the extended period. The Canadian model remaining an outlier
regarding the evolution of Merbok, however its solution is
approaching that of the GFS, NAM, and Euro solutions. Wednesday
12Z Canadian and Euro models advance a new north Pacific low
across the Eastern Aleutians into the Bristol Bay area Monday
morning. The GFS solution holds the advancement of the new system,
crossing the Aleutians Tuesday morning, with a focus of elevated
winds through the gaps and passes, as well as up Kamishak Gap into
the Greater Bristol Bay area. Additionally, a low forming off of
the Kamchatka Peninsula and, with moderate model uncertainty, will
deepen and approach the western Aleutians by Tuesday morning.
Today's 12Z GFS solution suggests a leading front and the low
itself sweeping across the Aleutian Chain. Meanwhile, the 12Z
Canadian and Euro suggest the low lingering in the Central Bering
providing strong winds and precipitation throughout the region
through next week.

From Sunday morning, a respite in precipitation for Southcentral
is expected to persist through Monday afternoon. With some
discrepancies, guidance then suggests the introduction and
intensification of a North Pacific low south of the Alaska
Peninsula. Given the aforementioned model uncertainty it is
possible there will be a revitalization of rainy conditions in
Southcentral. This system will provide heavy precipitation across
the Southcentral coastline and eventually moves inland.
Precipitation associated with this system is expected to persist
into Wednesday. In the GFS solution as the system approaches
Kodiak Island, southeasterly flow promotes the development of
Barrier jet winds along the northern Gulf coast including Prince
William Sound Tuesday morning. Windy and rainy conditions
currently are expected to continue into Wednesday in
Southcentral.
