Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
525 AM AKDT Sun Jul 27 2025
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through
3)...
The warm pattern continues as the region sits between two strong
upper level ridges, each over the Bering and the Yukon Territory.
High temperatures may reach the low 80s for valleys while most of
the region is expected to be in the mid-to-upper 70s. Convection
should be capped, but a weak wave moving over the interior of the
state will likely bring some showers to the Alaska Range and
Denali Highway areas, maybe as far south as the Talkeetnas.
Conditions on Monday look to be similar, though maybe a degree or
two cooler, as an upper level trough moving through the Interior
pushes the Yukon ridge slightly to the east. Showers will again be
possible late Monday into Tuesday along the Alaska Range and
northern Susitna Valley, but otherwise the region maintains a
warm, dry pattern. On Tuesday the trough to the north will push a
touch farther south, bringing in more clouds and higher chances
for precipitation over the interior portions of Southcentral.
&&
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days
1 through 3: Today through Tuesday)...
The main feature of note affecting the region continues to be a
strong, blocking high centered over the Bering Sea. A large area
of marine stratus and fog trapped under the high pressure and warm
air aloft continues to drift across the Bering Sea and Aleutians,
with the Pribilof Islands and several spots along the Aleutian
Chain continuing to report visibilities of less than one mile at
times. The north to northwest flow set up between a low drifting
south across the Gulf and the strong Bering high will begin to
relax throughout this afternoon into tonight as the ridge
continues to slide east. Gusts as strong as 40 mph remain possible
out of favored bays and passes through this afternoon.
Little overall change to the pattern is expected for the
remainder of the weekend into early next week as the ridge axis
drifts slowly northeast towards the Pribilof Islands. Potential
will increase for parts of Bristol Bay and the Kuskokwim Delta to
see low stratus and fog develop over the next few mornings as the
drier northerly flow weakens and as high pressure builds with
time. Much of Southwest as a whole will continue to stay mostly
dry, though parts of the Lower Kuskokwim Valley could see showers
near weak shortwaves riding over the top of the ridge into the
Alaska Range, especially tonight into Monday. Meanwhile, areas of
rain along with southeast winds around 20 to 30 mph will follow a
weak front into the western Aleutian Chain through Monday. This
front will weaken as it runs up against the high pressure in place
farther east by Tuesday. For the rest of the Bering and
Aleutians, widespread stratus and fog drifting around the ridge
will likely continue for the next few days.
-JH/AS
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Tuesday through
Friday)...
Not many changes to the previous discussion as the forecast
remains largely on track for the long term. For Southcentral, the
weather will remain more unsettled as upper level shortwaves
emanate from a longwave trough digging over Northern Alaska. Much
of Southcentral will continue to see above average high
temperatures as the area become settled in between two surface
high pressure systems. A trough begins to move in Tuesday to the
western Bering, which will help nudge the ridge to its east more
so over Southcentral. This also means a return to more impactful
weather for the Bering and Aleutians. Any ridging looks to flatten
by Friday, allowing for storm systems to move further across the
Bering and Aleutians.
-AM/KC
&&
.AVIATION...
PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist. There is a
small chance that low stratus/fog may develop in the morning
hours. If so, it will be brief and not widespread.
