Area forecast discussion, Feb 19, 2:27 PM AKST, 13 hours 56 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 227 PM AKST Sat Feb 19 2022 .SYNOPSIS... The calm before the storm as ridging builds in over the Interior today and Sunday. This is ahead of a storm moving into the West Coast, beginning Sunday morning and persisting into Tuesday. The associated front moves inland and will bring more snow to the Interior early next week, as well as strong gap winds through the Alaska Range and Brooks Range. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... There is a shortwave trough moving into the Pacific NW, which has temporarily flattened out the very strong NE Pacific Ridge. There is a broad region of weak troughing aloft over the northern half of the Mainland, with a shortwave ridge translating east into the SW Mainland. A strong warm front is moving north into the Eastern Bering Sea. Even farther south, there is a rapidly developing low in the NPAC, which is what will be responsible for the incoming storm late this weekend and early next week. Model Discussion... Models are in better agreement than yesterday, and seem to be converging with respect to placement and timing of the initial frontal zone as it shifts north through the Bering Strait and West Coast, as well as the location of heavier snow inland. The NAM and ECMWF were favored for this forecast, with NAM winds favored while ECMWF snow totals were favored. This has the result in pushing the forecast snow totals up over the Western/Central Interior for Monday. Central and Western Interior... Beautiful weather through Sunday, as that late winter sun peaks through the clouds and gives hope to Interior residents after another long winter. Things change Monday as the flow becomes more southerly, and a strong front/trough from the West Coast shifts inland, bringing more snow to the Central Interior as early as Sunday night and early Monday. Much heavier snow moves in Monday night and Tuesday, bringing a swath of 5-9" of snow from the Western AK Range to the Upper Koyukuk. Much less snow expected for the Eastern Interior as downslope flow will really limit amounts until late MOnday and Tuesday, where 2-5" of snow is possible, with 6-8" in the southern portions of the Eastern Alaska Range. In addition, expect strong southerly gap winds in the Alaska Range to push into the 60 MPH range, possibly higher in Isabel Pass. West Coast and Western Interior... Busy weather upcoming as a warm front shifts north through the West Coast/Interior beginning Sunday morning, and reaching the Lisburne Peninsula Sunday morning. This front will bring a myriad of weather impacts including gale force sustained easterly offshore winds, significant blowing snow in favored gap areas, and heavy accumulating and blowing snow along the coast. Mixed rain will also occur over the Delta and Lower Yukon Valley. Possible ground blizzard conditions will also be in place for the Kotzebue Sound area. Monday night and Tuesday the low moves inland, which will bring heavy snow to the Interior, with a swath of 4-10" of snow from the Kusko Valley north to the Western Brooks Range. North Slope and Brooks Range... Quiet weather with high pressure over the North Slope today. A strong southerly gradient develops Sunday evening and Monday, which will induce an easterly wind along the North Slope and strong south winds through the Brooks Range gaps. Significant blowing snow is likely through the Brooks Range gaps along the north side of the range (including Atigun Pass), with warming temps over the Arctic along with increased snow chances on Tuesday. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...A strong storm will move north through the Bering Strait on Monday and Tuesday. The general storm track will likely move north up through the Bering Strait, which may bring some ice push onto shores across Norton Sound and possibly the Yukon Delta. Some water over ice may also be an issue, but right now no significant issues are anticipated. Extended Forecast Days 4-7... Busy and stormy weather looks likely over the West Coast as a strong south flow develops, and builds a ridge over the Interior. This looks to bring warming temps inland as 850 C temps shoot up above zero C Wednesday through late week. This pattern will be a huge change from the persistent winter pattern. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Chill Advisory for AKZ201. Winter Weather Advisory for AKZ206. Winter Storm Watch for AKZ209-AKZ211-AKZ213. Gale Warning for PKZ210. Brisk Wind Advisory for PKZ200-PKZ215-PKZ220-PKZ225-PKZ230. && AHSENMACHER FEB 22
