Fxak68 pafc 220114 cca afdafc southcentral and southwest alaska forecast discussion national weather service anchorage ak 512 pm akdt Mon aug 21 2017 Analysis and upper levels A cut off upper level low has developed in the gulf of alaska as it breaks away from the upper level trough that remains over the mainland part of the state. The upper level ridge is over the central aleutians and protruding into the central bering sea. A jet streak between the ridge and low is bringing increased northwesterly winds aloft over the eastern bering sea, southwest mainland alaska and the alaska peninsula. The gulf coast and much of inland areas of southcentral alaska remain under persistent shower activity today which should taper off this evening to overnight as the upper level low moves east- southeastward and the ridge moves eastward as well. Model discussion Models remain in fairly good agreement through the middle of the week. The only real change to note is that they are slowing down the arrival of the next batch of rain moving into the southern mainland on Wednesday by six to twelve hours. Models also keep the train of arctic troughs digging over the state as the continuing pattern looks like the classic transition from late summer into autumn. Aviation Panc...VFR conditions should prevail through the night as the northeast winds today keep CIGS even higher during the periods of rainfall. While winds may switch to more of a southeast direction overnight, CIGS should remain above 5000 ft. A short drying trend tomorrow will also meanVFR conditions and winds under 10 kt. .Short term forecast southcentral alaska (days 1 through 3 tonight through Thursday)... rain will gradually break up across southcentral alaska this evening through the overnight hours as the upper low marches eastward across the southern gulf, pulling the surface low currently east of kodiak island with it. Strong and gusty northwesterly winds will linger through Tuesday along the alaska peninsula, shelikof strait, and western gulf due to persistently tight pressure gradients between the exiting low and the ridge building in. Tuesday does not look quite as nice as previous forecasts indicated. All guidance now indicates a short-wave digging down from the northwest and crossing inland portions of southcentral Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday night, with a weaker wave to follow through Wednesday morning. This will hold in clouds over interior areas of the susitna valley and copper river basin and produce showers, especially across the northern to eastern copper river basin. The best chance of seeing sunshine on Tuesday is the western kenai peninsula up to anchorage where westerly downslope flow will dominate south of the approaching short-wave. The leading edge of a broad positively-tilted trough will approach southcentral from the bering sea on Wednesday, leading to increasing clouds and showers out ahead of it. This trough will quickly head eastward for the gulf while another trough drops southward across the bering sea, forcing the leading trough to become negatively tilted and curve northward toward southcentral. All of this will lead to another prolonged soaking rain across southcentral Wednesday night through Thursday night - and likely beyond for at least a portion of the region.

Short term forecast southwest alaska (days 1 and 2) The bulk of the southwest mainland looks to remain dry through Wednesday morning as weak ridging replaces the upper low departing into the gulf. The exception will be across the northern extent of the area as a trough moving across the northern half of the state clips the delta region tonight and then the lower kuskokwim valley on Tuesday, bringing a chance for some light rain to these areas. There is also some fog potential across the delta tonight as onshore flow helps to advect the marine layer inland. The arrival of a front from the bering on Wednesday afternoon will bring the next round of widespread rain to the area, with rain then continuing into Thursday as yet another arctic trough digs into the region. Short term forecast bering sea aleutians (days 1 and 2) Gusty northwest winds will begin to subside overnight along the alaska peninsula as the upper low moves farther away from the area. This will usher in a period of benign cloudy conditions through Tuesday across the eastern half of the bering as high pressure builds overhead. Farther west, a front will move over the western half of the aleutian chain this evening and then slowly push to the north and east through Wednesday, bringing rain and small craft advisory level winds to much of the bering by Wednesday evening. The parent low will push into the western bering by Wednesday, keeping the rainy pattern going across the western and central aleutians. Long term forecast (days 4 through 7) Beginning the extended period forecast Thursday night, the weather pattern across the region will be dominated by a large trough over the state, stretching from the arctic circle to the north pacific. A highly amplified upper ridge will be in place over the western bering, so this will be a rather slow moving pattern. As one may expect, such amplified troughing will result in a continuation of typical alaska early fall weather with clouds and rain impacting most of southern alaska. On Friday and Saturday, the surface low will move from eastern bristol bay to the gulf of alaska. The forecast gets a little more tricky here as weak pieces of shortwave energy will meander around the larger upper trough, so it seems that there may be waves of rain instead of continuous rainfall, but it will still be wetter than drier, especially across southcentral and the gulf coast as southwest ak slowly dries out Sunday. By Monday, the pattern will become more dominated by a zonally driven north pacific jet stream which will cross the southern bering sea and eventually amplify as it moves south of the alaska peninsula. This should result in a brief break in the weather (note, rainfall) across southern alaska sometime early next week before troughing over the north pacific moves back in sometime Tuesday and Tuesday night. In other words, it seems that summer is effectively over... Or... It is the beginning of the new season. Afc watches warnings advisories Public... None. Marine... Gale 150. Fire weather... None.
