The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds.

Fxak68 pafc 281246 afdafc southcentral and southwest alaska forecast discussion national weather service anchorage ak 446 am akdt Fri jul 28 2017 Analysis and upper levels A split flow pattern has developed with an upper level ridge centered across eastern alaska and a trough to the south over the gulf. To the west, zonal flow is streaming abundant moisture between a low centered near the bering strait and a ridge just south of the central aleutians. At the surface, the pattern is a relatively weak reflection of the pattern aloft. The most active weather pattern is across the southwest mainland with a front moving rain eastward into bristol bay and the kuskokwim valley. Model discussion Models are in good agreement through the weekend with handling low pressure moving across the southeastern gulf and another across the northern bering. Only minor changes were needed for morning updates as model consistency is above average. Aviation Panc... MVFR stratus is expected to continue across the terminal through the afternoon with improvement this evening. A weak disturbance aloft moves across this morning which will initiate a few showers across the region, however kept this mention out of the morning TAF as radar activity is fairly quiet and models are showing downslope trends with light southeasterly flow just off the surface. There is still some uncertainty in ceiling improvement this evening as the air mass is expected to remain nearly saturated, so this will be monitored closely for updates. Short term forecast southcentral alaska (days 1 and 2) High pressure will remain centered just north of south central alaska through Saturday night. Some moisture is pushing westward underneath the ridge and will produce some showers across the area today. Conditions will then be drier for much of the area on Saturday as upper level heights start to build. The exception will be inland areas from the copper river basin and the susitna river valley, where increased heating will lead to diurnal showers and a few thunderstorms. Short term forecast southwest alaska (days 1 and 2) A front pushing slowly eastward through southwest ak will continue to produce widespread rain through tonight, especially from greater bristol bay into the lower kuskokwim valley. Rain will taper off to showers by Saturday morning and diminish in coverage through the day on Saturday as weak cyclonic flow is eventually replaced by weak ridging nosing into the region from the southwest.

Short term forecast bering sea aleutians (days 1 and 2) The synoptic pattern will remain largely unchanged through the weekend, with generally westerly flow over the bering on the northern periphery of the pacific ridge. This will mean a continuation of the persistent fog and stratus regime over much of the region, with multiple waves embedded in the westerly flow bringing occasional chances for precipitation. A pair of disturbances will move through the bering today, spreading rain over the alaska peninsula and the eastern aleutians through tonight while a weak east-west oriented frontal boundary brings a chance of rain to the rest of the chain. Another disturbance will enter the northern bering late Saturday into Sunday, bringing another chance of rain to areas mainly north of the pribilofs. .Long term forecast (days 3 through 7 Saturday night through Thursday)... the large scale pattern remains fairly persistent through the extended forecast period. The strong blocking ridge centered just south of the western aleutians looks like it will weaken with persistent waves riding over top of it, tracking eastward across the bering sea then dropping southward into a trough over the gulf of alaska northeast pacific. Model guidance differs in some of the details of individual waves, but shows the same general idea. Thus, generally speaking expect wet conditions across the bering sea and into southwest alaska along with continued areas of fog and stratus across the region. Meanwhile, weak ridging will persist in the vicinity of southcentral. A steady stream of upper waves will pass in the vicinity of southcentral, but forcing looks weak. The lack of strong forcing or strong flow creates quite a challenging forecast. At this time scale it's nearly impossible to forecast the details of what any given day will be like in southcentral. Overall, we can say there will be a lot of "fair" days; not wet or dry, not hot or cold, not cloudy or sunny - but somewhere in between these dichotomies. There are indications the ridge will break down late next week, with potential for storms to approach southcentral from both the west and south. Afc watches warnings advisories Public... None. Marine... None. Fire weather... None. Synopsis and model discussion... Kh southcentral alaska... Bl southwest alaska bering sea aleutians... Cb long term... Seb

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
