LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Monday through Thursday)
Longwave trough pattern dominates southern Alaska early next week. The main low sits in the Gulf of Alaska that will merge with an a North Pacific low as it moves towards the southern Gulf of Alaska on Tuesday. There is relatively fair model confidence for this low tracking into the Gulf, weakening and shifting back south through mid-week next week. Widespread rainfall is likely across southern Alaska, including the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Chain, early next week. As the initial low fades into the North Pacific low and then moves away from the Southcentral coast, precipitation will diminish inland, lingering along the coast through Wednesday morning.
Model confidence is steadily increasing for a large low to enter the Bering Sea mid to late week next week.
