.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3)...

Discussion:

Fairly benign weather again today as scattered showers continue
across the northern Gulf and coastal areas. The low responsible
for these showers is shifting inland this morning and have seen
some periods of flurries and/or light snow trickle over the
mountains into the eastern Kenai and Anchorage Bowl overnight as
the lower levels moisten up. Showers should start to decrease in
coverage by later this afternoon and evening as the low moves
inland and washes out. A trough will dig southwards across the
northern ALCAN border tonight and with remnants of the low moving
north may set up a weak convergence zone over the Copper Basin
today resulting in light snow developing over the northern half of
the basin late tonight. Periods of light snow to continue this
morning for the southern half of the basin as the low lifts inland
and precipitation spills over the mountains with snow tapering
off by mid to late morning.

The next system is currently south of Kodiak Island lifting north
into the western Gulf. Several models have this system weakening
into an open wave by the time it reaches the northern Gulf Tuesday
night. The surface low looks to stall near Kodiak Island before
getting ingested by a stronger low moving up out of the North
Pacific midweek. Albeit weak, the low will still bring another
round of showers to the coast as the front lifts north. The
aforementioned midweek North Pacific low will be the next system
to watch as models are it good agreement with it bottoming out in
the 970s on Wednesday. However, confidence still remains somewhat
low on the track of this low as it swings northwards.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days
1 through 3: Today through Wednesday)...

The relatively unsettled pattern across the Bering Sea and
Southwest Alaska will persist today and well into next week. The
mechanism driving this is a broad, weak low complex situated over
the central Bering Sea with several smaller lows and upper waves
embedded and rotating around its southern periphery. This will set
the stage for periods of snow showers across the western and
central Aleutians. Elsewhere, a ridge anchored over the Southwest
for now is promoting clear skies and thus the chance for overnight
lows to bottom out more so than previous nights.

The next 36 hours will see a similar, nuisance-like pattern. The
main story is that the low over the Bering Sea will begin to
meander westward and eventually southward and move closer to the
western Aleutians by Tuesday. Aside from increased snow shower
potential, this will also help to reinforce a stout northwest wind
that may promote near small craft winds. The low will also be
accompanied by a developing negatively tilted upper trough that
will lift northward and begin to stall over the AK Pen and
Southwest, which will bring some light snow potential across the
AK Pen that could linger into Wednesday. The aforementioned ridge
begins to skirt eastward out of the Southwest and becomes much
less defined by Wednesday. At the same time, a transient upper
ridge from the North Pacific extending northwestward into the
central Aleutians will support a short 24-48 hour period to become
fairly benign with temperatures closer to average for this time
of year.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7 - Thursday through
Sunday)...

Beginning Thursday, a large and deep North Pacific low lifts
toward southern Alaska. Upper-level ridging generally extends from
Western Canada into Interior Alaska, with weak low pressure
lingering over the Bering Sea. A more compact low lifts inland
from the northeastern Gulf of Alaska on Thursday morning,
contributing to primarily rain along the coast from Prince William
Sound eastward, which diminishes through the day. Focus shifts to
the North Pacific low as a gale force front lifts to the Alaska
Peninsula and Kodiak Island, bringing moderate rainfall. The front
reaches the north Gulf coast Thursday night, spreading rain north
along the whole length of the coast before lifting inland over
the southern mainland on Friday. Strong enough downsloping will
keep interior Southcentral dry, but there is good model agreement
for light precipitation over Southwest Alaska on Friday and
Saturday under weak flow associated with the main trough axis.

Enough warm air lifts up with the low for precipitation to begin
as rain for Bristol Bay, but rain could affect the entirety of
Southwest Alaska depending on exactly how much warm air the low
brings north. However, colder air wrapping in around the back side
of the low over the Bering Sea will gradually lead to a
transition to snow through Saturday. Chances for precipitation
will be more limited over Southcentral Alaska, but they increase
on Saturday as the main bulk of upper-level energy associated with
the low lifts inland and any precipitation would likely be
showery in nature. Chances for showers, by this point almost
entirely snow, continue but trend downward on Sunday as the upper-
level troughing exits to the north and a quickly-moving ridge
approaches from the North Pacific.

.AVIATION...

PANC...VFR conditions and light northerly winds will persist at
the terminal. There is a chance for light snow or flurries over
the terminal this morning, though any snow that may fall is
expected to be very light. Ceilings may briefly drop below 5000
ft, but should increase again by mid-day.
