Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
520 AM AKDT Mon Apr 28 2025

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today
through Tuesday Night)...

Regional radars show rain across much of the Gulf of Alaska, as
well as Kenai Peninsula north through Anchorage and the Mat-Su.
This will continue to be the case through the morning as a
shortwave trough lifts north through the region. Clearing
conditions followed by rain then cloud cover, is expected later
today across these areas. The Copper River Basin should also
receive some light rain today before tapering off, however, cloud
cover will remain in place through the period.

Looking onward to Tuesday, there will be an Aleutian low that
evolves into more of a larger, complex low pressure system. This
will allow for a favorable southerly to southwesterly flow at the
surface for Southcentral to see rain chances continue for the
first half of the work week and the near term. By mid week, a
subsequent low spins up along its rotating trough axis in the
North Pacific and starts to move into the Gulf, foreshadowing more
rain chances in the days to come.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS
(Days 1 through 3: Today through Wednesday night)...

A weakening low in the northern Bering Sea is pushing a decaying
front through Southwest Alaska this morning, leading to rain
showers for the Lower Kuskokwim Valley and interior Bristol Bay.
These showers clear out as the front lifts north and east today. A
weak shortwave tracking over the Kuskokwim Delta is producing
light snow which will lift north to the Yukon Delta today. With
surface temperatures near freezing, some light accumulations of
less than an inch of snow are possible this morning. A brief break
in precipitation is expected today across Southwest Alaska as a
shortwave ridge quickly passes through.

Then, a North Pacific low skirting south of the Aleutian Chain
today pushes its front from the western/central Aleutians, where
it is producing easterly gales and light to moderate rain, north
and east through the eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula, to
reach the Pribilof Islands and the Southwest coast today. With
colder air in place over Southwest Alaska, precipitation with
this front may fall as snow during the early morning hours on
Tuesday, and in the Pribilof Islands almost all of the
precipitation is expected to fall as snow (though rain could mix
in at times for Saint George).

As the low center tracks to the Alaska Peninsula on Tuesday, the
front pivots around the low, remaining over the Pribilof Islands,
leading to a long duration light snow event for Saint Paul.
Temperatures hover at to just above freezing, so accumulations
will be limited, though up to 2 inches of snow is forecast in
total through Wednesday. For Southwest Alaska, the front lifts
quickly through and precipitation transitions to rain and becomes
showery on Tuesday. Showery conditions continue through mid-week,
with diurnal shifts in precipitation type, with snow possible
during the early morning hours. Otherwise, expect it to fall as
rain. Similar conditions are expected for the Aleutians/Bering
Sea, with northerly winds bringing cooler air on the back side of
the low on Wednesday. This may lead to more widespread snow
showers, with the best chances over the western and central
Aleutians.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7/Thursday through
Sunday)...

A broad elongated trough with a NW - SE axis stretching from
Siberia to the Gulf of Alaska will keep the eastern Bering Sea and
most of western Alaska under low pressure for the start of the
long term forecast period. An embedded upper low will swing across
the Alaska Peninsula and into the Gulf of Alaska, bringing
moderate to heavy precipitation to the eastern Kenai Peninsula and
Prince William Sound on Thursday. The precipitation type will be
predominately rain at sea level and heavy snow at higher
elevations. This system will weaken and slowly meander towards the
southeastern Gulf, allowing for coastal showers to persist
through Friday while widespread cloudy conditions will continue
for most of the state. A second low will lift up into the Gulf at
the end of the weekend, likely bringing another round of increased
onshore flow and coastal precipitation. At this time, there is
still model disagreement about how far north this system will
track, which will primarily impact marine zone wind magnitudes. We
will keep an eye on how this progresses in the coming days.

&&

.AVIATION...

PANC...Occasional light rain will persist throughout the morning
into the early afternoon before diminishing. Winds are expected to
become southerly by around noon and then remain southerly through
tomorrow. Another shot of rain is expected tonight, albeit brief,
followed by a day of potentially strong, gusty southeast winds
out of the Turnagain Arm on Tuesday with the next system. Ceilings
will generally be VFR, but may dip into MVFR territory today with
the rain.
