Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 431 AM AKST Tue Nov 5 2024
SYNOPSIS
Generally quiet weather today in the Central/Eastern Interior but light snow develops this afternoon/evening as a front moves north over the AK Range. Winds have been ramping up in the AK Range passes with gusts to 65 mph in Windy Pass today and up to 60 mph in Isabel Pass. Otherwise, east/northeast winds increase along the Arctic Coast with blowing snow and near blizzard conditions likely in many locations. In SW AK, a low in Bristol Bay is prompting light snow in the Yukon Valley with gusty winds. This may result in areas of blowing snow and lower visibility as well.
KEY MESSAGES...
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Southerly winds through the AK Range with gusts to 65 mph in Windy Pass through noon today, and up to 60 mph in Isabel Pass through tonight.
- A Tanana Valley Jet has also developed with gusts to 45 mph through tonight.
- Increasing winds across the Interior Summits today with snow likely north of Fairbanks starting this afternoon.
- A Winter Weather Advisory for the Dalton Highway Summits through midnight tonight for blowing snow and visibility to 1/2 mile or less at times.
- Mild temperatures in the low to mid 30s are likely in the Middle Tanana Valley on Wednesday, then temperatures drop through the weekend.
North Slope and Brooks Range...
- East-northeast winds continue along the coast, promoting snow shower chances today and tomorrow, especially west of Deadhorse.
- East to northeast winds across the Arctic coastline increase again today. The strongest winds likely occur tonight into Wednesday in the eastern Arctic and may gust as high as 55 mph.
Near-blizzard conditions are possible through Wednesday morning.
This has resulted in a Winter Storm Warning in the Eastern Arctic and Winter Weather Advisories from Deadhorse west.
- A brief period of clearing over the Brooks Range today, otherwise cloudy and mostly dry conditions there with above normal temperatures. Light snow moves in tonight with 0.5-2 inches expected through tomorrow morning.
West Coast and Western Interior...
- Strong offshore winds from a low in Bristol Bay with areas of light snow expected this morning in the YK Valley. Snow accumulations of around an inch or 2 in the valleys and up to 3 inches in the higher terrain.
- There is a non-zero chance for a mixed freezing rain/sleet and snow shower this afternoon west of McGrath, though most areas will be drying out.
- There is also a chance for mixed precipitation showers on Wednesday from the Seward Pen. south as high temps rise above freezing.
- Northeast winds gusting 50-55 mph in St. Lawrence Island today and tonight.
DISCUSSION
Analysis...
The main features at play are a 954 mb low in Bristol Bay and a 1033 mb high at 80N. This is resulting in a strong pressure gradient across the state, thus resulting in wind which is one of our largest weather impacts today. A pressure gradient across the AK Range is producing wind gusts of 60-65 mph today in Isabel and Windy Passes. There are also gusty winds of 40-45 mph expected in Delta Junction and Interior Summits. Blowing snow is possible in these locations, specifically the Dalton Highway Summits where we have a Winter Weather Advisory for visibility to 1/2 mile or less.
The North Slope is no different when it comes to wind. Increasing east-northeast winds are likely with the strongest being near Kaktovik as gusts can get as high as 55 mph today into tomorrow.
The rest of the Arctic Coast will have wind gusts around 40-50 mph this evening through tomorrow evening. Blowing snow is likely with near-blizzard conditions. Otherwise, conditions generally improve everywhere by this weekend as temps cool.
Extended Forecast Days 4-7...
Temperatures will be cooling down this weekend into next week with highs and lows in the single digits or below 0 for multiple days in the Interior. Otherwise, the weather looks relatively mundane with no siginifcant weather makers for the next 7 days. One thing we will monitor as we get closer is the chance for a coastal storm in the Bering late next week. Uncertainty is high, but there is a chance for a strong low in the Bering by the Wednesday-Friday time frame.
Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None.
