Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
430 AM AKDT Fri May 26 2023

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A surface level low pressure system in the Gulf is moving north
overnight, bringing rain to the Southcentral region. The jet
stream, just south of the Aleutians, is adding rotation to the low
pressure system in the Bering, and pushing its front along the
Aleutians to the Gulf. After a potential break on Friday,
additional widespread moisture will visit the Western and
Southcentral regions Saturday through Sunday. The upper level low
in the Bering is then expected to head southeast across the
AKPEN.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
Good upper level agreement on the Bering Sea upper low, while the
rest of the features become an open trough that rotates northwest
across the state. At the surface, there are slight positional
differences with the low center passing west of Seward and closer
to Homer (GFS/ECMWF), East of Seward (NAM) or west of Seward
(Canadian). The main impacts will be strength of wind in/around
Prince William Sound, and timing of southeasterly winds for
Turnagain Arm/Anchorage/Knik Valley. The GFS seems to indicate the
slowest rotation of the low and extended front into the Gulf.

&&

.AVIATION...
PANC...The low clouds and patchy fog should improve slowly through
early morning and then the low level cloud deck should be
completely once the southeasterly winds start. The southeasterly
winds will begin fairly light mid to late morning and then really
get going in the afternoon through evening time period. Around
midnight, the Turnagain Arm jet should bend down the Inlet leaving
light northerly winds over the terminal.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Friday
through Sunday)...
The main upper level trough extends out of Southwest Alaska and
over the north Gulf cast early this morning. As this trough moves
northward today, the shower activity should mainly subside except
for the coastal regions which will continue to get rain from the
orographic lift. The man upper level low will remain over the
eastern Bering Sea through the weekend. This will keep south to
southwest flow aloft and rain shower in the area. The biggest
forecast uncertainty will be in conjunction with a triple point
low that looks to develop over Kodiak Friday night and then track
slowly northeastward through the weekend. This is a new feature
which has begun to take shape over the past day and the big
uncertainty lies in whether this low will track move toward
southeastern Prince William Sound or if it will move inland over
the Kenai Peninsula. The first solution will keep more rain over
the Sound while the second one will not only bring rain to the
Sound but to the inland parts of Southcentral as well.

&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days
1 through 3: Today through Sunday)...

After a brief break of drier weather over Southwest Alaska, a
Bering Sea low will push its front eastward, brining rain and
south-southeast winds along the coast today. Heading into the
weekend, a large scale upper level trough stretching from the
western Bering Sea through the Gulf of Alaska influences a cool,
cloudy, and wet pattern. A potent shortwave currently situated
south of the western Aleutians interacts with the Bering low and
trough. With a decent moisture tap drawn up from the North
Pacific, a secondary front will lead to moderate to heavy rainfall
pushing through the eastern Aleutians and the Alaska Peninsula.
By afternoon, expect the heaviest rainfall to spread over Bristol
Bay, with lesser amounts elsewhere.

Behind the front, widespread westerly flow develops across the
Bering Sea, with unsettled conditions persisting across the
central/eastern Aleutians and Pribilof Islands through Sunday.
Further out west, quieter weather is expected for the western
Aleutians as a transient ridge builds overhead, while a weaker
system enters the western Bering Sea.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Monday through
Thursday)...

Models have come into surprisingly good agreement over the
extended period. A quick look at the deterministic runs of the
GFS, Canadian, and ECMWF all show a similar synoptic pattern
consisting of a trough over the eastern Gulf and ridging over
the Bering Sea. The ensembles concur with a similar pattern being
in place. For Southcentral this may favor a continued unsettled
conditions next week with the potential for easterly shortwaves
to slide across Southcentral bringing periods of rain or showers.
For Southwest Alaska the pattern favors drier conditions, especially
as we head through the week and the Bering ridge shifts eastward.
Finally, the Aleutian Chain will be within a west to west-northwest
flow regime, with multiple rounds of showers and gusty winds
possible through the period.
