Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
505 PM AKST Mon Dec 9 2024

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

The front was weakening and progressing more slowly. Thus, winds
have come into Anchorage a little bit more delayed than originally
anticipated. Over the past hour or two this afternoon, winds have
noticeably increased across south and west Anchorage and the
Anchorage Hillside. These winds are not expected to last very long
as it coincides with the frontal passage and pressure rises
behind. For the Anchorage Hillside, gusts 55 to 70 mph are
possible again Monday. Gusts in the bowl can expect gusts to
around 35 to 50 mph. Gusts 30 to 45 mph are also likely for the
Matanuska Valley, tapering off tonight. Portage and Whittier
experienced wind gusts of 55 to 85 mph this morning. Winds have
since decreases for the Portage Valley. Winds mixing the
atmosphere and interacting with terrain, have allowed temperatures
to rise into the 40s for many locations across Southcentral who
are influenced by these winds.

Similar conditions are expected across Southcentral late Monday
into Tuesday as yet another frontal system moves from the western
Gulf to Prince William Sound. Rain amounts are lighter for
Tuesday, but a stronger front is expected going into Wednesday. An
additional 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible from Kodiak and the
northern Gulf with this next event Tuesday night and Wednesday.
The western Prince William Sound area looks to have an additional
4 to 6 inches. Precipitation tapers off Thursday, though model
agreement decreases around this timeframe with the characteristics
of the surface front in the northern Gulf.

Rux

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

The showery and breezy conditions across Southwest Alaska and the
eastern Aleutians continue this afternoon as a low pressure
system continues to head northward in the eastern Bering Sea. As
the low pulls away to the north throughout this evening, the winds
and heaviest rain will diminish, albeit the break in weather will
be brief as another North Pacific low reaches the eastern
Aleutians by early Tuesday morning. Models have come into better
agreement that by early afternoon Tuesday, this next system will
cross the Alaska Peninsula and enter the southeastern Being Sea.
By this point, the low will merge with the current system in the
Bering, forming a complex and elongated low spanning from
approximately St Matthew Island to the Alaska Peninsula by
Wednesday morning.

Strong southeasterly flow will continue with another large swath
of gale force winds south of the Alaska Peninsula and in the
southeastern Bering as well as gusty winds through Kamishak Gap
once again for Bristol Bay and the Lower Kuskokwim Valley. Wind
gusts Tuesday morning through Tuesday afternoon up to 60 mph are
possible near the mouth of the Kamishak Gap near Kokhanok, with
locations downstream such as Koliganek and Igiugig potentially
seeing gusts up to 50 mph. Widespread rain showers across
Southwest Alaska will be possible through Wednesday morning, with
the greatest rainfall amounts expected for the Alaska Peninsula
and areas most susceptible to southeasterly upslope flow in
southwest Alaska. Temperatures are expected to remain warm enough
to keep precipitation as all rain through Wednesday morning,
except for snow showers at high elevations. Following the passage
of this next system, the pattern appears to quiet down suggesting
a broad showery pattern across the Bering Sea, Aleutians, and
Southwest Alaska with the low losing strength and spinning out in
the northern Bering as a weak ridge builds in over the Aleutians
and Bering on Thursday. By Thursday afternoon, colder air makes
its way back into Southwest Alaska allowing for any lingering
showers to fall as snow or a rain/snow mix.

&&

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

By Friday, guidance suggests that a 500 mb negatively tilted
trough situates itself from the Bering Sea southeastward across
the Aleutians. This feature should provide adequate upper level
support for light precip in Southcentral AK with rain showers at
the coast and snow showers inland. Marginal temps here yield some
uncertainty with where the rain/snow line sets up and this will
have to be fine tuned with future guidance. Precip should wind
down by Saturday as ridging builds over the Gulf and the low
weakens. This trough flattens by late Saturday with another upper
trough in its wake producing another around of snow showers on
Sunday. By late weekend, 850 mb temp anomalies show temps falling
below climo as the Arctic airmass to our north begins to spill
southward. We are seeing trends of daytime highs for most falling
into the 20s for the last half of the period. Operational models
are hinting at another deep storm force to hurricane force frontal
low approaching the Aleutians toward the end of the period.

.AVIATION...

PANC...Winds will remain gusty from the southeast past midnight,
but there should be somewhat of a tapering off in the speed.
Sometime Tuesday morning, the southeast winds will end and shift
to a light northwesterly wind once again. There is a possibility
for wind shear when this occurs, but at this time it looks like
the southeast winds aloft on Tuesday will be generally above the
2000 ft level at the airport. Otherwise conditions look to remain
VFR with just a slight chance of light rain this evening into the
overnight.
