Fxak69 pafg 192220 afdafg northern alaska forecast discussion national weather service fairbanks ak 220 pm akdt Mon aug 19 2019 Discussion River levels will remain high across much of northern alaska over the next few days. Further details on this can be found in the hydrology section of the discussion. Cooler weather is expected for the north slope Tuesday and for much of northern alaska through mid-week. Periods of showers are possible across the north slope and eastern interior through wed, then a generally cool and wet pattern into the weekend. North slope and brooks range: a strong low aloft over the northwest territories today will move west to around demarcation point by early Tuesday morning, then drop south over the eastern brooks range Tuesday night. Wednesday the low will continue south and then east. This will bring two to four inches of snow to the eastern brooks range tonight through Tuesday night. This same system will bring approximately a quarter of an inch to a half an inch of rain to areas from nuiqsut east during the same time period. Showers will move into the western north slope late Wednesday as a low pressure system drops south into the beaufort sea, and these showers will continue off and on through the end of the week. While not currently expecting coastal issues with the low dropping south, a long fetch of northerly winds with no near shore ice present will prompt us to keep an eye on the coastal situation as this system approaches thu and fri. Central and eastern interior: there is still model discrepancy as to how far south the low center discussed above will move, with the 19 12z NAM gfs solutions taking it as far as fort yukon before heading east, where the 19 12z ec solution continues to take it further south toward fairbanks before moving it east through eagle. Model solutions regarding that are closer to consensus than previous model runs have been. We trended toward the slightly more southerly track to put at least a chance of precipitation in the forecast for the fairbanks area. All solutions have the low moving back into the yukon territory by Wednesday night. West coast and western interior: meanwhile, ridging over the bering sea and a trough over the west coast will bring rain to the y-k delta and seward peninsula regions through this afternoon. As the combination ridge trough

move south tonight, the trough will weaken, with rain ceasing over the seward peninsula but continuing over the y-k delta tonight before finally continuing south Tuesday morning. Northerly winds will keep temperatures cool through the remainder of the week. A low dropping from the arctic into the beaufort sea will increase northerly winds along the west coast Thursday and into the weekend. While not currently expecting issues with this, with the long fetch over open water, this will be an area to keep an eye on for coastal issues as we approach Thursday and Friday. Coastal hazard potential days 3 and 4... a 500-600 mile fetch of the chukchi sea with n-nw winds blowing 20-25 kt from Thu and Fri into Sat may cause elevated surf at shishmaref and the bering strait Thu into the weekend. At this time do not expect high surf as it normally requires winds 25kt or greater, but there normally is not a 500+ mile fetch length for several days, so this will need to be watched as we get closer to thu, fri. Fire weather No major fire concerns for northern alaska for the next few days. Winds are expected to be fairly light across the west coast and interior, with minimum rh values above 30 percent and temperatures topping out in the 50s to around 60 degrees in most locations. The driest areas will be portions of the upper tanana valley from dot lake to northway where minimum rh values may drop into the upper 20s on Tuesday. Hydrology High river levels will continue for the next several days across the tanana river basin from shaw creek to the city of tanana, with most rivers either cresting today, or starting to drop. The current flood warning was extended for the chena river upstream of the moose creek dam into Tuesday afternoon. Flood advisories remain for low lying areas along the tanana river from shaw creek to the city of tanana,for the nenana river from anderson to the city of nenana, and for low lying areas areas along the chena river from the moose creek dam to fairbanks. Water levels on the salcha river have dropped below flood stage, but water levels will still remain high over the next few days. Ground water flooding seeping into basements is possible in all of these areas through the week. Afg watches warnings advisories Small craft advisory for pkz210-pkz220-pkz225. Aeh aug 19

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
