Area forecast discussion, Aug 11, 5:33 AM AKDT, 13 hours 33 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 533 AM AKDT Fri Aug 11 2023 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A broad longwave trough anchored by a closed upper-level low over the north-central Bering remains in place with little change from what was observed yesterday. Several shortwaves are noticed on Satellite rotating around the aforementioned trough towards Southcentral. A developing low south of Nikolski is also observed on Satellite and will intensify into a significant low for the Gulf of Alaska on Saturday. Temperatures this morning have been reported ranging from the upper 40s to the lower 50s across all of southern Alaska. && .MODEL DISCUSSION... Models continue to be in good agreement on synoptic features through the short-term and are coming into better agreement with the strong low forecasted to impact the Gulf of Alaska Saturday. There is high confidence of widespread gales along the leading front, but the exact timing of stronger winds and their spatial distribution remains a challenge. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. Gusty Southeasterly Turnagain Arm winds are possible beginning Friday afternoon. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... Some clearing along the Cook Inlet coast of Kenai Peninsula has promoted patchy fog from Homer to Kenai this morning. This could last through the rest of this morning. Low confidence for fog development from Anchorage north through the Susitna Valley. Surface low pressure in the northern Gulf is keeping showers across portions of Southcentral today. Clearing skies across the Susitna Valley may promote convective activity and thunderstorm development this afternoon. Southeasterly winds through the Knik River and Turnagain Arm may promote higher gusts in Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley. A broad, North Pacific low is set to enter the Gulf of Alaska Saturday morning, though the associated strong front moves into the southern Gulf this afternoon and will track north towards the coast tonight into Saturday morning. Confidence is high for areas of high end gale force winds with storm force gusts along the north Gulf coast, and widespread gale force winds along the rest of the western Gulf. Sustained storm force winds will be possible as the barrier jet strengthens and winds press against the coast. Southeasterly winds could stream into Prince William Sound at 30 kts Saturday afternoon and evening. Additionally, strong northerly flow through Cook Inlet is likely throughout Saturday, with a period of storm force gusts Saturday morning. The strongest winds are expected by early Saturday morning, with north- northeasterly winds 40-45 knots likely and as high as 50 knots possible. Corresponding seas along the north Gulf coast will range from 14 to 18 feet, with seas ranging from 18 to 25 feet across the rest of the western Gulf through Saturday night. Substantial precipitation is expected with this low, especially for areas near the coast. From around midnight Saturday through Sunday morning, areas inland could expect less than a quarter inch, but Kodiak and Seward could be reaching for two inches, Cordova between two and three, and Whittier between three and four inches. Through the rest of this weekend, southwesterly flow and continued unsettled weather is expected. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Tonight through Sunday)... A large upper-level low pressure system over the Bering Sea continues to dominate the pattern for the Aleutian Chain and Southwest Alaska in the near future. The overarching circulation is driving much of the unsettled activity across the Central and Western Bering Sea. Looking closer, an embedded low pressure system within the broad circulation is driving much of the precipitation observed just south of the Chain. A nearly inverted trough is stretched out over Southwest Alaska currently, which has lead to the cloudy regime with light showers observed much of Thursday. However, today as the trough lifts out, so will more of the clouds, increasing heating at the surface and allowing for higher temperatures by this afternoon. Showery rainfall will be more common throughout this weekend. The potential for isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be present through this afternoon in the northern portion of Southwest Alaska, namely the Lower and Middle Kuskokwim Valley, and the northern stretches of the Greater Bristol Bay area, eventually making its way into the Kuskokwim Delta by early this afternoon. The potential for isolated to scattered thunderstorms will arise again Saturday afternoon and evening, however mostly over the Kuskokwim Delta region, as this is expected to be where surface conditions will be most favorable for thunderstorm development. Meanwhile, late this afternoon gusty winds will pick up through the Kamishak Gap into the Greater Bristol Bay region, lasting into tonight before shifting, pushing offshore, and dissipating by early Saturday afternoon. Back out west, the embedded low currently south of the Chain will continue to move the the northeast, breaking away from the partner low in the Bering, making way for the Eastern Aleutians, Alaska Peninsula, and the Gulf of Alaska providing light rainfall across these regions as it goes. By Saturday morning, northeasterly wind flow will intensify along the southern Alaska Peninsula coastline, reaching up to 35 mph before coming down by Saturday afternoon. Out west, rain shower activity focuses near the central Aleutians for the weekend as a weak, occluded low tracks slowly south across the Chain. By Sunday afternoon, a second consolidated North Pacific low arrives south of the Alaska Peninsula, poised to continue active, wet weather into the beginning of next week. && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 though 7: Monday through Thursday)... The long wave trough over the Bering continues to steer the weather across Southern Alaska, but is slowly weakening through Thursday. The more active weather producers are moving in from the North Pacific into the Gulf of Alaska for the first part of the week, but a last surge of energy from the Bering trough pulls the next following North Pacific low into Bristol Bay and the Eastern Bering for Thursday. Widespread Rain and gusty winds expected from the Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula into the Gulf. Weather in the Gulf of Alaska will be busy through Thursday as the first well developed low brings additional rain and gusty winds, strongest just offshore in the coastal areas, diminishing late Sunday. The following low sheds energy from Tuesday on to bring gustier winds to the Gulf, but most of the active windy and wet weather will break back to the west as this low moves across the Alaska Peninsula into Bristol Bay through Thursday. && SYNOPSIS AND MODEL DISCUSSION...nsc SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...vr SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...cl LONG TERM...kz
