Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 209 PM AKDT Thu Jul 29 2021

SYNOPSIS. The showers continue mainly west of Manley Hot Springs and north of Livengood. Heaviest rainfall tonight will extend from the Koyukuk Basin through the Middle Yukon Valley to the Lower Yukon Delta. Flood Advisory for the Snake and Nome rivers continues. Warmer and drier in the Southeast Interior this weekend.

DISCUSSION.

Models . 29/12Z solutions are in reasonably good agreement through the midrange before diverging. Surface initialized well against local 29/15Z analysis. Going to lean quite a bit on the current forecast database and make only minor changes since the solutions are very similar to the last couple runs for this time period.

Aloft . At 500 hpa . Troughing extends from a 537 dam low over the Northeast Beaufort Sea to 75N and the Dateline to a 539 dam low 200 nm south of Wrangel Island. A shortwave extends south from the low over Chukotka to a 572 dam low over Adak. Ridging extends north out of the Pacific to Sand Point, then northeast to a 577 dam high over the Kenai Peninsula to a 577 dam high over the Copper River basin, the northeast over the AlCan to Demarcation Point, then northwest into the Central Arctic. By Friday morning the troughing in the Arctic will be pushed near 80N over the Northern Beaufort Sea extending southwest to a 542 dam low 400 nm north of Wainwright to a 542 dam low 200 nm east of Wrangel island to a 540 dam low over the Chukotsk Peninsula. The trough will rotate around the low to lie over the Bering Strait to Homer. The Skinny ridge to the south will be holding on with a 574 dam high just southeast of Homer with ridging extending northeast over the Upper Tanana Valley, the north over the Yukon Territory and Beaufort Sea. By Friday night the ridging will be pushing back to the west over the Upper Tanana Valley and into the Middle Tanana Valley as southwest flow continues over the West Coast and Arctic. At 850 hpa . A dome of +10C or warmer will persist over the far Southeast Interior while the 0C isotherm will move over the Northwest Arctic Coast with the remainder of the forecast area somewhere in between.

Surface . Surface is pretty much a reflection of aloft with high pressure pushing north into the Central and Eastern Interior and low pressure to the West and North. A 996 mb low is near Wrangel Island with a 1000 mb low just north of the Gulf of Anadyr. A front extends east across the Arctic offshore waters to a low in Western MacKenzie Bay with another front over the West Coast Friday morning the high pressure will be pushed south of the Alaska Range as the front to the west pushes northeast across the state and the front in the Arctic will slide north as the lows to the west remain stationary. A 1015 mb low will develop in the Upper Tanana Valley tonight and merge with low pressure to the south Friday. By Friday afternoon the the front in the Arctic will be stationary with a 1008 mb low developing 150 nm north of Prudhoe Bay, the low near Wrangel Island will be stationary as while the low near the Gulf of Anadyr will merge with a a 936 mb low that will move to the Central Bering Sea. High pressure south of the Alaska Range will start to push back north into the Central and Eastern Interior.

Arctic Coast and Brooks Range . Cloudy, showers, areas of fog will persist along the coast as southwest flow prevails over the most of the area as weather front moves offshore. Inland downslope off the Brooks Range will keep most areas dry, but cloudy. Highs in the mid 40s to mid 50s, with lows in the 40s for most locations along the coast. Warmer inland with highs in the upper 50s to mid 60s. Winds southwest 5 to 15 mph becoming southeast.

West Coast and Western Interior . Cloudy with showers. Expect a break along the coast overnight, then more showers Friday and Saturday. Up to 2 more inches of rain expected through Saturday so the Flood advisory for the Snake and Nome Rivers is in effect through Sunday afternoon. The Wulik river is running high, but expect it to remain steady or slowly fall. Highs along the coast mid 40s to mid 50s, while inland high temperatures will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Lows will be in the 40s to mid 50s. Winds south to southwest at 5 to 20 mph becoming southeast Friday.

Central and Eastern Interior . Cloudy with some breaks during the day. Showers to the northwest of Fairbanks in the Koyukuk Basin then east along the Brooks Range. Winds south to west to 10 mph. Winds increasing Friday in the Upper Yukon Flats to southwest at 5 to 15 mph. High in the 60s and 70s, and lows in the 50s.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4 . None.

Extended forecast for days 4 to 7 . A return to summer like weather and temperatures for the Central and Eastern Interior, while the West Coast and Arctic will stay in a south to southwest flow with cloudy conditions and showers.

Fire Weather. Interior locations southeast of a line from Fort Yukon to Fairbanks to Denali will be drying out, while areas to the west and north will remain cloudy, cool, and wet as another weather system pushes rain into the area through Saturday morning. Temperatures in the 60s to mid 70s this afternoon with lows tonight falling to the mid 40s to mid 50s. Minimum Relative Humidity will be lowest in the Upper Yukon Flats as they fall into the mid 30s and will range up to the mid 50s in the Middle Yukon Valley. Winds southwest to west at 5 to 10 mph gusting around 15 mph for most locations. Relative Humidity recovery will be good.

Hydrology. Flood Advisory for Nome and Snake Rivers extended into Sunday as another 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected Friday and Saturday. Wulik river has risen near minor flood stage. Do not expect any flooding, but it will continue to run bankfull through the weekend as runoff continue to make its way into the mainstem rivers. Most rivers along the West Coast will remain high through the weekend with the additional rainfall in the area. Water levels in small stream and creeks across the Interior will see some minor rises overnight, then slowly fall through the weekend. For the latest river information go to www.weather.gov/aprfc.
