Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 621 AM AKDT Tue Sep 22 2026 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)... Key Messages: - Isolated marine lightning over the Gulf of Alaska is possible Tuesday and Wednesday. - Clearing skies and cool temperatures could lead to patchy fog, and widespread lows near or below freezing. Breezy north winds through terrain gaps will increase tonight through Wednesday morning. - The pattern shifts Thursday and Friday with rain along the coast and Kodiak Island. Strong, southeast winds also return to Southcentral. Forecast confidence is medium overall, but the magnitude in rainfall and wind speed is low to medium. Discussion: Dual lows across the Gulf of Alaska are bringing showers from east to west this morning. One low is located west of the SE Panhandle while the other, weaker low is situated east of Kodiak Island. High clouds on satellite has obscured the locations that observed patchy fog. Many areas dipped into the 30s this morning. A few lightning strikes were observed from these lows last night and a lightning strike or two over open waters of the Gulf cannot be ruled out through Wednesday. Otherwise, the weather across Southcentral will be relatively quiet through Thursday afternoon as the lows weaken and slowly meander east. Any lingering showers would be likely along the Alaska Range, Kodiak, and the northern Gulf Coast this morning, trending drier throughout the day today. Clouds will continue to clear out across much of Southcentral through Wednesday. This will result in colder overnight temperatures, with widespread 20s possible for the Copper River Basin and low to mid 30s elsewhere. Some typically colder locations may see colder temperatures Wednesday morning as East Anchorage, Soldotna, Butte, and Willow may drop as low as the upper 20s and some lows in the teens are possible (10 to 20 percent chance) in the Copper River Basin. Offshore winds look to increase later night through north to south terrain gaps through Wednesday morning. Wednesday and Thursday morning will see dry conditions across Southcentral with high temperatures in the low to mid 50s. A much more potent system from the Bering Sea will send a strong front into the southwestern Gulf and Kodiak Island by Thursday afternoon. Confidence is still medium with the timing of the front as models slightly differ on progression and strength. Chances for precipitation will increase throughout the day Thursday for Prince William Sound, northern Gulf coast, and for Kodiak Island, becoming likely (moderate to heavy rainfall rates at times) by Thursday evening. With strong southeast flow, northern Cook Inlet communities and farther inland, would become downsloped, thus drier. Gale-force winds will also accompany the front as it lifts through the Gulf Thursday and Friday. Winds could be gusty through Turnagain Arm Friday afternoon, affecting South Anchorage and the Hillside, but there is low confidence in the magnitude of these winds at this time. Stay tuned. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Today through Thursday)... Key Messages: * A strong Bering Sea low is forecast to impact the Bering Sea, Aleutian and Pribilof Islands, and Southwest Alaska beginning Wednesday afternoon into this weekend. * For the Bering Sea: Areas of gale force winds with storm force gusts likely. Gusts to hurricane force possible. Expect elevated wave heights, with seas up to 25 to 35 ft possible. High surf possible for Pribilof Islands. * For Southwest Alaska: Southeasterly gale force winds increasingly likely (80-90% chance). Localized high surf and coastal flooding possible, with primary communities of concern being Kwigillingok and Kongiganak, and communities near and along the mouth of the Kuskokwim River. Discussion: The persistent gusty northwesterly winds and showers across the eastern Bering and Alaska Peninsula will continue to wind down through this morning as ridging over the central Bering slides into the eastern Bering. Ridging remains in place over the eastern Bering and Southwest Alaska over the next couple of days, promoting a period of quiet weather for today into Wednesday. The colder airmass over Southwest Alaska also lingers through Wednesday night, resulting in nighttime and morning temperatures to again fall into the low to mid 30s across much of Southwest Alaska and upper 20s for interior locations through Wednesday night. Out west, a strengthening low pressure system that has developed just to the south of the Kamchatka Peninsula reaches the far western Aleutian Islands this morning. The strongest winds and heaviest precipitation along its frontal system continues to remain to the south of the Aleutian Chain, although some light rainfall and small craft winds are expected to progress from west to east across Shemya through early this morning and across Adak and Atka through this afternoon. Following closely behind this low pressure system are the remnants of Typhoon Dujuan curving northeast across the North Pacific towards the Aleutian Chain by Wednesday morning. While the remnants of Typhoon Dujuan remain well to the south of the Aleutians, the interaction between the two systems from Wednesday through Thursday continues to be the main focus and challenge of the forecast as warm, tropical air and moisture will aid in the strengthening of the Bering Sea low. Overall forecast confidence continues to increase as model guidance converges on a solution of a strong low reaching peak strength (955 to 965 mb minimum central pressure) in the middle of the central Bering Sea sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Despite the remaining uncertainty on the exact location and track of the low center, agreement has significantly improved on the overall strength and extent of the wind field across the Bering, as well as the frontal system set to sweep across the Southwest Alaska coast. By Wednesday morning, small craft winds become much more widespread across the Bering as the frontal system quickly strengthens and tracks east. As the low tracks into the central Bering by Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning, sustained gale-force winds are likely to encompass much of the Bering Sea and Aleutians, with the potential (50-60% chance) for sustained storm- force winds along the Aleutian Chain from the Rat Islands to Adak and Atka through Thursday. Widespread gusts to storm- force and potentially hurricane force (>=75 mph) will be likely across the Bering Sea, Aleutians, and Pribilof Islands. The combination of strong winds and long fetch could lead to high seas, perhaps on the order of 25 to 35 ft across the Bering Sea and North Pacific waters just south of the Aleutians, as well as the potential for high surf for the Pribilof Islands. For Southwest Alaska, there is high confidence for a gale-force front reaching the coast Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Strong southeasterly winds increase with the arrival of the front with the potential for gusts up to 45-55 mph along the immediate coast through Thursday evening as the front moves inland. Given the east-southeasterly component to the wind field along the coast and the decreasing astronomical tides, the forecast has trended towards a lower potential for widespread coastal flooding along the Kuskokwim Delta coast (20-30% chance). Minor coastal flooding and high surf will certainly still be possible, especially for communities more susceptible to southeast winds such as Kwigillingok, Kongiganak, and communities near or along the mouth of the Kuskokwim River. Across the rest of Southwest Alaska, strong southeasterly winds pick up Thursday and persist through Friday morning as the front progresses inland and the low begins to track east in the southern Bering. -JH && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7)... Key messages: - A very strong low pressure system will develop over the Bering Sea between later this week. - A separate low pressure develops in the Gulf of Alaska later this week. A low forming in the Bering Sea later this week could include moisture from the remnants of ex-typhoon Dujuan. Despite varying differences in the low's formation and its track eastward the past 72 hours, a consistent theme has been that most of the moisture from the ex- typhoon will remain south of the Aleutian Chain. The moisture and heat being entrained into this Bering Sea low will bring widespread rain and wind gusts to the Bering Sea. Models continue to show this Bering Low strength ranging from 960 to 970 mb today; despite its more northerly track and most ensemble model guidance placing its formation location from the Pribilof Islands to the Central Aleutians. Another common theme has been the Aleutian Islands, from Attu through Dutch Harbor, will likely see the strongest winds in this storm with gusts exceeding 70 mph at a 40% to 60% chance Thursday to Saturday. As for Southcentral and the Gulf of Alaska region: A low that tracks south of the Aleutians will make its way to the Gulf of Alaska region by Friday. At this time, it does appear likely that a fairly strong front will move into the Gulf of Alaska by during the day Thursday bringing rain and wind to the Gulf region. Wind speeds exceeding 60 mph along the Eastern Kenai Peninsula and the Gulf of Alaska range from a 40% to 60% chance late this week and into the weekend. The greatest rainfall amounts from this storm currently are along the coast from the Eastern Kenai Peninsula to Cordova Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light and variable winds less than 10 kt will persist through the TAF period. &&
