.DISCUSSION...
An active pattern will continue into the upcoming weekend, with
prevailing southeasterly flow, warmer than average temperatures
and precipitation focused along the coast continuing as the
prevailing theme through Sunday. Southeasterly winds have already
peaked overnight, and will relax substantially as the front moves
inland and shears apart through this afternoon. In turn, wind
gusts will drop to around 30 to 50 mph across the higher
elevations of the Kenai Mountains and portions of the Chugach
Range by this afternoon. Snow levels will also rise a the front
lifts north to around 1300-1800 ft by this afternoon, and while
they may fluctuate with subtle changes in the wind field and air
mass, expect snow levels to remain near or above 1000 ft through
the remainder of the weekend as southeast flow off the Gulf
continues.
A lull in both winds and the precipitation focused along namely
the eastern Kenai is expected on Saturday as transient, weak
upper ridge briefly moves overhead in between the (by this point)
weakening system in the eastern Gulf and a separate low moving up
towards the Alaska Peninsula. This next low will provide the next
period of more unsettled conditions as it lifts up into Southwest
Alaska late on Saturday into early Sunday and as its trailing
front moves up into Southcentral. There is still some model spread
in terms of how quickly this low will lift north, yielding some
uncertainty regarding timing and intensity for another round of
southeasterly winds and increased coastal precipitation arriving
across Southcentral. Still, expect another notable uptick in
southeast winds across the Kenai Mountains from late Saturday into
Sunday morning, and possibly across the Chugach Front Range
depending on the low track and strength as it head north.
Precipitation in the form of snow above around 1000 ft will also
redevelop or intensify across much of the terrain surrounding
Prince William Sound as the front lifts northeast through Sunday.
