Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 1:54 AM AKDT, 8 hours 21 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 154 AM AKDT Wed Sep 7 2022 .SYNOPSIS... The benign weather pattern over Northern Alaska the past several days will continue today but will begin to transition to a more active pattern with strong winds devloping through the Alaska Range late tonight and into Thursday. A series of storms over the weekend and into early next week will impact the West Coast with increased chances of rain as well as gusty winds. The North Slope will continue with low ceilings and fog. && .DISCUSSION... Upper Levels and Analysis... The current pattern at 500 hpa consists of a deep longwave trough that extends south from the high Arctic south through the Bering Strait into the Southern Bering Sea and into the Northern Pacific. This trough is anchored by a 534 decameter (dam) low currently near the Pribilof Islands and a secondary low near the pole. Over the next several days, the the trough over the Bering amplifies and deepens through Friday with slow movement eastward while strong southerly flow and ridging builds over the Eastern Interior. Upstream of the trough that sits over the Bering, ridging that noses north across the Kamchatka Peninsula into Siberia today will rapidly weaken Thursday while a secondary trough pushes east out of Siberia and the Kamchatka Peninsula into the Western Bering Sea on Friday. At the surface, a 1002 mb low near Sand Point will strengthen as it moves north and east into Bristol Bay as a 1000 mb low on Thursday. A strong front wrapping around the low will push north over the Alaska Range Thursday, expect strong winds to develop through and near Alaska Range Passes where a High Wind Watch is now in effect. Expect drying chinook flow north of the Alaska Range, and periods of rain across the West Coast and Western Interior. A 1026 mb high pressure system over the western Bering Sea will retreat south as a 968 mb low, the remnants of Typhoon Hinnamnor in the northernmost Sea of Okhotsk weakens rapidly and then reemerges over the Western Bering Sea on Friday and pushes east into the Central Bering Sea on Saturday as a 988 mb low. Considerable spread remains from model family to model family as well as from model run to model run on the position, track and strength of this system. Will continue to monitor. Model Discussion... The 7th/00z model suite initialized well against the 00z surface analysis as well as the upper air observations. Model verification was good at 06z against the surface analysis. The models are in general good agreement on the evolution of features on the synoptic scale at least in the short term and mid range. Models begin to diverge in the extended period with the subsequent track and strength of tropical remnants of Typhoon Hinnamnor moving into the Bering over the weekend. We made only minor edits for this mornings forecast package with a continued use of blended model solutions. North Slope and Brooks Range... Low ceilings along with areas of coastal fog, some of which continues to be dense especially to the east of Point Barrow will continue to be problematic along the Arctic Coast from Utqiagvik east over the next several days as high pressure builds over the Beaufort and across the region. Conditions inland, including the Brooks Range, will generally remain relatively benign through Thursday. Highs will continue to climb into the 40s along the coast and lower 50s inland while lows dip into the lower to mid 30s through the short term. West Coast and Western Interior... Weakening low pressure moving south and east over the Pribilof Islands this morning will continue to weaken and rapidly be absorbed by a low just south of Sand Point that will push north into Bristol Bay tonight. As this low near Sand Point continues to push north today, a front wrapping around the low will push into the West Coast and Western Interior increasing the threat of rain and winds across the Yukon Delta and the Western Interior Thursday afternoon. High temperatures through Thursday generally in the lower to mid 50s while lows bottom out in the lower to mid 40s. Central and Eastern Interior...Expect plenty of breaks in the clouds today resulting in a pleasant early fall day. Most areas will have light winds today, however winds will increase over the area beginning late tonight and will continue into Friday. A strong front will approach the Alaska Range from the south late tonight and into Thursday. Winds are expected to ramp up through the Alaska Range passes late tonight and into Thursday. Gusty winds may make it into the Fairbanks Area as well with wind gusts in town reaching to near 30 mph. See the current Special Weather Statement (SPS) that is out for complete details as well as High Wind Watch Statement for the Alaska Range and Delta Junction areas. Expect seasonable temperatures across the region with highs climbing into the upper 50s to lower 60s through Thursday while lows dip into the 30s to mid 40s. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4... We continue to monitor Bering Sea Storm forecasted track and strength late this weekend and into early next week. Extended Forecast for Days 4 through 7... For the extended period that begins on Saturday, attention will shift to the remnants of Typhoon Hinnamnor that moves into the Bering over the weekend. The track and strength of this storm will be closely monitored as it moves through the Bering Sea and possibly into the West Coast by early next week, stay tuned... && .HYDROLOGY...
