Area forecast discussion, Dec 18, 5:17 AM AKST, 10 hours 4 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 517 AM AKST Wed Dec 18 2024 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... A shortwave ridge is currently over the region, leading to partly sunny skies, mostly calm winds and overall dry conditions. This will persist for most areas through Thursday morning. The next storm to impact the region can be seen on Satellite in the Pacific, due south of Southcentral near 40N. This storm will rapidly move north, reaching the southern Gulf of AK Thursday morning before pivoting west into or near Kodiak Island. Model guidance is in exceptionally poor agreement and has differences of hundreds of miles in storm position by Friday afternoon. This is due to a large baroclinic zone in the north Pacific right now, with multiple lows developing along the front, in a region that is poorly sampled. However, the aforementioned storm is likely to bring moderate precipitation and strong winds to Kodiak Island and the Gulf Coast/PWS areas Thursday and Friday as it pivots into the eastern Bering and/or Bristol Bay. The onset of precipitation may be snow for the Kenai Peninsula, but easterly winds will quickly raise snow levels to 1000 to 1500 ft by Friday morning. Little to no precipitation is expected inland, but cloud cover and increasing winds through the mountain gaps will increase temperatures. The storm on Saturday is also poorly resolved, as differences in weather models will compound with time. In comparison to guidance yesterday, there as been a notable shift to the south in the storm track, with the deterministic model envelop between Kodiak Island and the southern Gulf, with ensemble multi-member clusters fairly well grouped to the south of Kodiak. Strong winds and moderate to heavy precipitation is still expected for Kodiak and the western Prince William Sound, with chances for rain and/or freezing rain making over the mountains and into the Cook Inlet areas at times. Overall model run-to-run consistency is terrible, so pinpointing weather impacts is difficult at this time, but the signals for warm and wet weather are ample for this weekend. -CJ && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: This afternoon through Friday evening)... A longwave trough is persisting over the Bering and Aleutians this morning. The deep occluded low at the heart of the trough, which is responsible for unsettled conditions throughout the region, is also persisting. Impressively, an occluded front arcs from out of the North Pacific, through the Alaska Peninsula, over the Pribilof Islands and southward through the Central Aleutians back into the low, which currently sits roughly 40 nm southwest of Nikolski. It is this front which delineates a baroclinic zone stretching from the eastern Bering down across the AKPEN into the North Pacific. Satellite imagery reveals several smaller mesoscale lows are lifting northward along the front, each with a region of accompanying gales. A High Wind Warning will be allowed to expire for the southern Alaska Peninsula shortly as winds are quickly subsiding with the departure of mesolow departing the AKPEN. Cold Bay saw peak gusts of around 62 knots (71 mph) during the early morning hours, with a quick look at recent observations showing gusts down to around 30 knots. Model agreement has been substandard as of late with any similarities amongst model solutions diverging beyond 24 hours. This has been a headache in the forecast process, with low certainty in the small scale details, specifically with the development and movement of each mesolow along the front. Instead, a broad brush approach has been leaned heavily upon, and this approach was also used for the morning forecast package. Essentially, gusty conditions, as well as areas of widespread showers, will continue along the occluded front. Areas of southeasterly gales will likely accompany each passing mesolow from the AKPEN and Eastern Aleutians up into Saint Matthew Island through tonight. The occluded low near Nikolski finally lifts northwestward Thursday morning as it weakens and surface pressure rises to around 970 mb, which should see winds finally begin to relax over the eastern Bering. A new trough is forecast to pivot from the Gulf of Alaska into the Alaska Peninsula on Thursday with flow over the Greater Bristol Bay region becoming northeasterly. The biggest concern with the new wind direction will be for elevated winds, including gales, to exit the Shelikof Strait as far south as Sutwik Island. A bigger low lifts out of the North Pacific and into the Alaska Peninsula on Friday, with potential for another round of elevated winds, though a more easterly wind direction should preclude a threat of any high winds. Finally, we are monitoring the potential for coastal flooding along the Kuskokwim Delta coast. Persistent onshore winds could see elevated water levels coincide with high tide. There is a high amount of uncertainty if winds will be strong enough to cause any impacts. BL && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Thursday through Sunday)... An unsettled weather pattern continues as a North Pacific low moves into the southeast Gulf late Thursday, crossing the Gulf to east of Kodiak Island by Saturday morning. This will be followed by a shortwave on Saturday afternoon, and a second low entering the Gulf by Sunday afternoon. Rain will be enhanced by terrain at low elevations and mountain snows possible for coastal regions, while downsloping should reduce the amount of precipitation that reaches inland locations. This pattern is expected to persist through the weekend, with the strongest winds coming from the east, affecting areas which include the Barren Islands, Kodiak Island, and Eastern Kenai Peninsula. -Baker && .AVIATION...
