Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 504 AM AKDT Wed Apr 29 2026
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...
Discussion:
As diurnally driven showers dissipated during the evening hours, skies were able to mostly clear across the western Kenai, Anchorage Bowl, and into portions of the Mat-Su Valley. This combined with light winds allowed temperatures to cool into the lower to mid 30s across these same areas just after midnight. However, a weak coastal ridge was able to tighten the gradient over the Chugach Mountains just enough to allow for the Turnagain Arm wind to quickly develop and turn into the western side of Anchorage...quickly warming temperatures back up into the upper 30s to lower 40s as the inversion mixed out. These winds will taper off by mid to late morning as the gradient relaxes; however, Turnagain Arm winds will once again pick up Thursday morning as surface ridging builds eastwards across the Gulf and the next shortwave trough lifts north towards the AKPEN.
For today, expect generally quiet weather as the surface ridge builds into Southcentral. The low that has been spinning over the Bering has finally started to lift north towards the Bering Strait.
The upper trough associated with this low will lift up across the AKPEN and western Gulf before continuing across Southcentral by this evening. While Surface ridging should keep most convection in check today, differential heating along the south facing slopes of the Chugach and Talkeetna Mountains, and mid-level lift associated with this trough, could kick up some showers along the mountains. Any convective showers will quickly die off by the evening hours with loss of diurnal heating.
Precipitation chances will increase again Thursday as the first of several shortwave troughs skirts just south of the Aleutian Chain then lifting towards Bristol Bay. Precipitation will first spread across Kodiak Island then along the eastern Kenai, as well as, into the western Susitna Valley. A reinforcing wave will follow allowing the extra push for precipitation to spread into Prince William Sound and the northern Gulf Coast. Unseasonably high amounts of precipitation can be expected from Thursday evening into the weekend for Prince William Sound and Seward. Strong southeasterly winds will accompany this system with especially gusty conditions down Turnagain Arm, the Anchorage Hillside, Knik River valley, and the Copper River Valley. These elevated winds will initially downslope areas in the lee of the mountains, limiting precipitation amounts for the Cook Inlet region north of Anchor Point. It is possible that flow shifts more southerly Friday afternoon and more inland areas see showers as well for the weekend.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Today through Friday)...
Radar imagery this morning shows widespread rain and snow showers from the Alaska Peninsula up through the YK Delta within the broad southerly flow on the eastern flank of the low in the Bering Sea. These showers are expected to continue throughout the day today as the low slowly continues north and dissipates. The focus of the forecast finally shifts away from the Bering low to the next storm taking shape in the North Pacific currently centered roughly 150 nm south of Amchitka at around 980 mb. Its front will pivot northward and graze the Aleutian Chain through this morning before continuing east towards the Alaska Peninsula this afternoon, bringing another round of gusty southeasterly winds and rain.
As the front lifts farther northeastward, light snowfall looks to break out late tonight into Thursday morning across the YK Delta.
Any significant accumulating snowfall will be mainly confined to areas with elevation as surface temperatures will most likely be at or above freezing due to cloud cover and southerly winds, though the Kuskokwim Coast could see a dusting to an inch or so out of this system. South to southeasterly winds will quickly warm the area by mid to late Thursday morning and will change snow over to rain.
As the parent low slowly gains latitude just south of the Aleutians, the front reorients itself across Southwest Alaska and the Alaska Peninsula so that an easterly flow brings in gusty Kamishak Gap winds by Thursday afternoon which persist into Friday. The high amplitude, yet progressive pattern continues as yet another low lifts out of the North Pacific towards the Aleutians for Thursday before sending another front across Southwest Alaska to begin the weekend.
-JH/AM
.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Saturday through Tuesday)...
Looking ahead, unsettled weather will persist across much of Alaska through weekend, with another North Pacific low moving across the Central Aleutians and into southeastern Bering by Friday. While not as deep as our current Bering low, it will still be a fairly impactful system, sending north a steady stream Subtropical moisture and multiple fronts across the Gulf. A particularly strong push of moisture will be sent into Southcentral on Friday and into Saturday, bringing heavy precipitation for coastal regions, including the Kenai Peninsula and Prince William Sound. This will be accompanied by gusty southerly winds, likely funneling through typical gaps such as the Turnagain Arm and Kamishak Gap. By Sunday, the low will weaken as it moves into the interior, with precipitation tapering off in most areas by the end of the weekend.
A pattern shift is becoming increasingly likely through the beginning of the next workweek, with most models indicating a broad area of high pressure developing over the interior through Tuesday; this could help block the next North Pacific low from moving inland, keeping most active weather confined to the Aleutians. However, much uncertainty remains with respect to how long this area of high pressure persists over the region.
