Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 637 AM AKST Thu Feb 24 2022 .SYNOPSIS... The messy weather pattern continues this morning, but the mixed precipitation out west will become more spotty going through today. Temperatures expected to remain well above climatological normal across most of the forecast area going into the weekend. Alaska Range winds expected to gust into the 50 to 60 mph range through tomorrow, while strong easterly winds developing across the Arctic Coast will cause blowing snow issues going into Saturday. && .DISCUSSION... Deep troughing over the Bering Sea and ridging cutting southeast to northwest across the state this morning will continue to be the general pattern going through the weekend. However, the longwave troughing in the Bering Sea will slowly weaken the ridge as it retreats eastward across the the eastern portions of Alaska by Friday as a strong shortwave trough moves north into the Bristol Bay region. This trough will retrograde back to the central Bering Sea by Saturday, but the longwave trough will encompass the West Coast. General southerly flow will persist across northern Alaska going into the later portions of the weekend. An occluded weather front stretching across the West Coast through St. Lawrence Island this morning will push to the north, with a secondary wave bringing more mixed precipitation to the Yukon Delta and Lower Yukon Valleys through today. Chances for precipitation will begin to wane tonight out west. The next strong weather system will push north into Bristol Bay on Friday morning, bringing more chances for mixed precipitation for the Yukon Delta as the front pushes north. Models are indicating the front reaching north of the Alaska Range, creating the potential for snow for areas of the Interior Friday night. This general low pressure pattern will result in increasing easterly flow across the Interior beginning on Friday and lasting into the weekend. Central and Eastern Interior... The only current hazardous weather across the Interior is Alaska Range winds through passes gusting 55 to 65 mph this morning. These windy conditions are expected to last into Friday night. Otherwise, dry and warm conditions through tomorrow, with chances for snow as a weather front pushes north of the Alaska Range Friday night into Saturday across portions of the southern Interior. Easterly winds expected to increase across higher terrain of the Interior on Friday as pressure lowers across the Interior going into Saturday. Temperatures remaining well above normal going into the weekend, with highs primarily in the 20s to 30s before a cooling trend beginning on Saturday. North Slope and Brooks Range... Blowing snow issues due to easterly winds gusting to 40 mph have begun on the western Arctic Coast this morning with half mile visibilities. These conditions are expected to spread further east across the Chukchi Sea and Beaufort Sea Coasts over the next couple of days, resulting in widespread blowing snow and near blizzard conditions with gusts ranging from 45 to 55 mph from Point Lay to Kaktovik going into Saturday night. Southerly winds through the Brooks Range expected to increase beginning tomorrow, with gusts 40 to 50 mph Friday night through Saturday. Temperatures are currently near normal, with a weather front pushing in from the south ushering in warmer temperatures to around five degrees above normal going into the weekend. West Coast and Western Interior... Most of the mixed precipitation has ended at least from Kotzebue Sound south early this morning, with snow and areas of freezing precipitation continuing for St. Lawrence Island and areas of the Chukchi Sea Coast and Lower Kobuk and Noatak Valleys. Another 1 to 3 inches of snow is expected for St. Lawrence Island before tapering off this evening. Another push of mixed precipitation will be possible for the Yukon Delta and the Lower Yukon Valleys, with accumulations of five hundredths of an inch possible through today. Temperatures in the 30s to 40s for highs today will gradually cool to below freezing for high temperatures by Sunday. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. Extended Forecast Days 4 to 7... Deep troughing through the Bering Sea and some form of ridging over the state will continue to be the pattern going into next week based on latest guidance. This would favor the seasonably warm temperatures to continue as well, with relatively limited precipitation coverage during this time period. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
