Fxak69 pafg 172010 afdafg northern alaska forecast discussion national weather service fairbanks ak 1210 pm akdt Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis A blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere will keep northerly flow over mainland alaska with a ridge over the bering sea today through Monday night. This will allow the interior to dry some from the recent very wet period. On the surface a 1046 mb high centered over the chukchi sea will keep a cooler trend going for the north slope, brooks range and eastern interior for the short term. No significant rainfall is expected for the next 60 hours. Discussion The blocking ridge over the bering sea will continue through the weekend to keep northerly flow over mainland alaska. A few shortwaves will move through the northerly flow bringing chances for showers for far eastern brooks range, however precipitation will be light. Interior will mainly see fluctuations in the cloud cover from these shortwaves. No major weather systems expected for the bering sea through the period with surface high pressure dominating. Models initialize well aloft and show similar solutions through 4pm sat. After that time, the NAM and GFS keep a deeper low aloft over the yukon territory and alcan border than the gfs. Favor the nam and ecmf solutions after 4pm sat. For precipitation, we will blend the precipitation solutions from the NAM and gfs, which will result in rain continuing this morning in the extreme se interior, and then keep isolated to scattered showers near the alcan border Sat pm through mon, with scattered to numerous snow showers over the north slope east of the dalton hwy. Coastal hazard potential days 3 and 4... None. Fire weather

A few lightning strikes reported in the upper yukon river valley other the recent rainfall has assisted with moisting up the area. Hydrology Total preciptiation in the past 48 hours has been over 1 inch in much of the area south of wonder lake to livengood to circle, excluding the 40 mile basin which was drier. Portions of the chena, salcha and goodpaster basins have had 1.5-2.0 inches of rain. The alaska range has had between 2 and 4 inches between the gerstle river and wonder lake with the eielson visitor center having 4 inches in 24hrs. Small streams across all of the interior from the chatanika river south will remain high today but should be falling, while rivers are rising rapidly today as the streams empty into the rivers. Flooding along creeks draining of the alaska range should end today as the water flows out, but rivers draining the alaska range could still rise and flood through sun, especially in the denali area. Flooding will occur today on the little chena, chena upstream of the moose creek dam, the salcha, and the goodpaster rivers, and will flooding will continue into mon, the and those rivers all have flood warnings. We will also look into flood advisory for tanana river at fairbanks after we get the new river forecast for the tanana river today. The tanana river at fairbanks is expected to rise and crest above minor flood stage on Sun night. The tanana river at manley could have similar issues as well. Afg watches warnings advisories Flood warning for akz222-akz223-akz224 flood advisory for akz221-akz223 flood watch for akz226. Small craft advisory for pkz245. Proton aug 19

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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.
