Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
437 PM AKST Sat Dec 2 2023

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

A tranquil weather pattern continues over many portions of
Southcentral Alaska with mainly clear skies, patchy fog during the
morning hours, and generally light winds. Wind gap prone
locations (through the Copper River Delta, Valdez, and Thompson)
will continue to be breezy through tonight with an increase for
Sunday. Seward through Resurrection Bay can expect an increase in
winds for Sunday as well. Lingering showers will continue for
Kodiak. For locations that had fog last night, it could return
again tonight but confidence is low for the Anchorage area.
Temperatures will generally continue on the same trend until a
deep low moving into the northern Gulf of Alaska from the North
Pacific will bring increased clouds, precipitation and winds.

This next low pressure system is forecasted to move into the area
Monday with a notable increase of precipitation and wind. The
forecast at this time has the surface low trending more toward the
east into Prince William Sound, decreasing overall snowfall
totals. However, models continue to struggle on the exact track
from run to run and strength of this next storm but generally
agree on a northerly trajectory out of the northern Pacific and
fairly good consensus toward the low moving into the northern Gulf
by midweek. Small differences in the track of the storm as well
as the strength of the storm will have implications that will
cause a wide spread in potential precipitation and snowfall
totals, especially for the eastern Kenai and western Prince
William Sound. Warmer air is expected at the onset of
precipitation with this system, but cold air will quickly follow.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS
(Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Tuesday)...

A longwave trough extends across the Bering Sea this afternoon,
with a surface low that earlier moved along the western Aleutians
now beginning to cross the Chain into the North Pacific west of
Adak. The low's front extends to the north and east almost out to
the Pribilof Islands, with a new but weak low forming along the
front between the central Aleutians and Pribilofs. Southwest is
now stuck in a showery pattern for the time being as it sits under
a shortwave ridge sandwiched in between systems to the north and
south.

Across Southwest, intermittent snow showers will give way to yet
another long duration, light snowfall event beginning later
tonight into Sunday. A new band of snow should develop near a
region of lift and convergence west of a trough moving over the
eastern Bering Sea, roughly between Pilot Point up towards Togiak
and Aniak and Bethel. The overall consensus for where this band
will set up has shifted west, and the forecast has been updated to
reflect this change, moving the axis of roughly 2 to 4 inches of
accumulation through Monday towards Togiak and Bethel. Similar
amounts are still likely along the AKPen, perhaps as much as 5
inches between Pilot Point and Port Heiden. Snow should gradually
diminish during the day on Monday as the trough axis begins to
stretch and shear apart, perhaps lingering a bit longer into
Monday night along the AKPen. Colder air will filter in from the
north between Monday and Tuesday as cloud cover also begins to
decrease, with lows Tuesday morning dropping back to the 0s to
lower 10s across much of Southwest.

Out across the Bering, the low currently passing near Adak will
continue to move south and away from the Aleutian Chain through
Sunday, although gusty winds mostly in small craft range will
linger near the central Aleutians through Sunday evening. From
Sunday night into Monday, a fast moving trough and frontal
boundary will progress east into the western Bering, ushering
another round of gusty winds up to gale force along the western
Aleutians through Monday evening. Meanwhile, northerly flow and
cold air advection will pick up towards the southern AKPen as a
strong low moves into the Gulf. Gale force winds will pick up out
of gaps and passes along and south of the AKPen, persisting into
Tuesday as cold northerly flow continues. A low moving out into
the far northern Bering from the north end of Kamchatka will push
yet another fast moving front into the northern Bering on Tuesday.

-AS

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)...Wednesday through Saturday...

The beginning of the forecast works well with deterministic
models, but gets sustained moving into ensemble models through the
end of the period. The longwave trough reorients from the Russian
Chukchi Sea across Western Alaska into the Gulf of Alaska and the
Eastern North Pacific. Increased amplitude with the ridge over
the Russian Far East continues. A moderately strong shortwave
rotates over the Eastern Bering and Western Alaska continuing
Southeast through the weekend, with a number of weaker shortwaves
to follow. A closed low forms over Southwest Alaska for Friday on.
The surface low in the Gulf of Alaska weakens but lingers through
Saturday.

While most of the heavier precipitation deflects into Southeast
Alaska through Saturday, Southcentral areas will start with snow
over most areas, with mixed rain and snow or all rain along the
Gulf coastal zones. Gustiest winds begin across the Bering and
along the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island, with possible gales
through the Barren Islands Wednesday, diminishing Thursday. Winds
work their way across the Gulf with possible gales developing over
the Central Gulf late friday into Saturday. Gusty winds along the
North Gulf Coast over towards Kodiak Island through the weekend.
in the Far West, an approaching North Pacific low brings locally
heavy precipitation and gusty winds approaching gale force over
the Western Aleutians by Saturday

.AVIATION...

PANC...There is a chance for some fog around the airport again
early Sunday morning. For fog to happen, the skies will need to
clear out well. While this clearing should happen by early
morning, it does not guarantee fog development.
