Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
712 PM AKST Sun Jan 12 2025

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3/Today
through Tuesday night)...

A Southcentral storm system is finally winding down this
afternoon, though winds will remain gusty into Monday. High Wind
Warnings from the Mat Valley to Anchorage to Cordova have since
been allowed to expire as well. It seems only fitting to list
some of the maximum wind gusts that were observed across
Southcentral over the past 24 hours:

* Alyeska Max's Mountain 106 mph
* Anchorage Hillside 110 mph
* Arctic Valley 107 mph (stopped reporting at 11am)
* Bird Point (Seward Hwy) 63 mph
* Cordova 74 mph
* Glen Alps 84 mph
* Glenn Hwy (MP34.5) 73 mph
* Hatch Peak (Hatcher Pass) 89 mph
* Lake Hood 59 mph
* Merrill Field 66 mph
* Palmer Airport 66 mph
* Portage Glacier 79 mph
* S-Curves (Eagle River) 62 mph
* South Fork (Eagle River) 78 mph
* Ted Stevens Int'l Airport 62 mph

On satellite, a large upper low is lifting over Nunivak Island
and the YK Delta. Its front, with widespread showers and gusty
winds, stretches from interior Alaska down into the Gulf of
Alaska. Gusty winds, albeit not as strong as this morning, will
continue into Monday across much of Southcentral, helping to keep
surface temperatures above freezing tonight. Heavy rains across
the MatSu down into Anchorage and down to Seward have inundated
many roads with ponding water. A brief break in precipitation on
Monday and continued winds will hopefully allow roadways to dry
before temperatures do drop below freezing Monday night into
Tuesday morning.

Elsewhere, a winter storm warning is ongoing for Thompson Pass
where additional snow showers will persist into Monday with
snowfall rates ranging anywhere from 1 to 3 inches per hour. North
of Thompson Pass, into the Copper River Basin and along the
Richardson Highway, a winter weather advisory also continues. A
wintry mix of precipitation is occurring along the Richardson
Highway south of the Edgerton Highway south to Thompson Pass.
Precipitation will be heavy at times through Monday morning. For
the Glenn Highway corridor west of Glennallen the heaviest snow is
occurring now and will taper off later this evening. Snow,
blowing snow, freezing rain, and rain will all be possible,
resulting in hazardous travel conditions.

As has been advertised, a change in the weather pattern will
allow seasonal temperatures to return for the upcoming week along
with a couple chances of snow for Anchorage. The first of the
chances will occur on Monday night/Tuesday morning as an area of
low pressure approaches the Gulf coast. At this time it appears
that moisture will be limited with the surface low a little too
far east of Prince William Sound, leading to very minor
accumulations if any. Should the track of the low trend further
west there will be a better opportunity for measurable snow. Stay
tuned.

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

The large storm-force low pressure system in the eastern Bering
Sea is continuing to produce gusty easterly winds across the
Eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula. Rain and snow will
continue for Southwest Alaska through tonight, though
precipitation has become more showery in nature as colder air
continues to wrap in behind the system leading to minimal
additional snow accumulation through this evening before tapering
off overnight. As the storm continues to lift northward along the
western Alaskan coast this evening, winds will pick back up and
turn westerly- southwesterly for Southwest Alaska with sustained
winds of 30 to 35 mph along the coast.

Southwesterly winds contribute to continued coastal flooding
potential, with a Coastal Flood Advisory remaining in effect for
the Kuskokwim Delta coast, particularly between Kipnuk and
Kwigillingok coincident with high tide tonight and Monday evening.
A High Surf Advisory also remains in effect as the strong onshore
push of winds through Bristol Bay will bring elevated water
levels there as well for high tide tonight through early Monday
morning. The main threat with this is likely to be high surf and
potential for coastal erosion along the Bristol Bay coast.

Out west, a compact gale-force low tracks near the western
Aleutians. With a cold air mass moving into the western Bering
Sea, there is also potential for blowing snow for those islands
this evening through Monday morning, however the showery nature of
precipitation will likely make visibility reductions below one
mile intermittent. The cold air mass spreads across the Bering Sea
and into Southwest Alaska with the northward exit of the large
low tonight, dropping temperatures into the 20s for Monday, the
teens Monday night, and single digits by Tuesday night. Expect
this colder air mass to also bring drier conditions across the
region as well for the beginning of the week. The gale force low
over the western Bering tracks into the northern Bering for
Tuesday, spreading snow showers as far as the Pribilof Islands
before diminishing by Wednesday morning.

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

On the Alaska Weather map, an elongated upper level trough
stretching from the Russian Far East across the Aleutians and
Bering. This trough gets a little boost from passing shortwaves to
reorient over Southwest Alaska and the Gulf of Alaska for
midweek, before continuing its Eastward track into Canada by
Thursday. An upper ridge building across the Western Aleutians
Tuesday moves to extend across the Gulf of Alaska and Western
Alaska into Northeast Russia through the end of the week.
Deterministic GFS and ECMWF carry the features and changes well
through Thursday with the Canadian models joining up into the
weekend.

A decaying surface low on the Southcentral coast spreads locally
heavy rains along the coastal locations, with locally heavy snow
further inland and over higher elevations through Wednesday. A
second low over the Shumagin Islands brings mostly rain with snow
over Bristol Bay from the Eastern Aleutians, Alaskan Peninsula and
Kodiak Island through midweek, before moving over the Kenai
Peninsula before dissipating over Prince William Sound Thursday.
Bands of snow progress across the Bering through Thursday. A well
developed North Pacific low and fronts spreads snow changing to
rain across the Western and Central Aleutians Wednesday and
continues over The Bering, Southwest Alaska and the AKPEN by
Friday. Gusty winds with gale force gusts work their way from the
Central Aleutians over the AKPEN and Bering through Friday.

.AVIATION...

PANC...Winds have finally eased up a bit across Anchorage as the
strong front and associated shortwave trough lift north of the
area. While winds are relatively gusty now out of the Turnagain
Arm, stronger southerly flow will ensue later this evening and
through the overnight hours as cold air advection strengthens
behind another trough. Scattered rain showers are also possible,
but should be generally light in nature. Confidence is low on
whether up-inlet flow will bring MVFR-CIGs to the terminal, or if
ceilings remain VFR. Conditions should improve altogether tomorrow
in wake of the system, with winds abating by late morning.
