Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
347 PM AKST Tue Jan 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...Another fairly active day across Coastal and
Mountainous regions of Alaska while much of the interior remains
quiet. An extended period of Blizzard conditions has begun across
the Arctic Coast and will persist for the next several days due to
strong northeast winds and blowing snow. The prolonged high wind
event continues for parts of the West Coast and Bering for the
next 24 hours before the area of strongest winds shifts north of
the Bering Strait. Heavy snow has been going largely according to
forecast within the Eastern Alaska Range and Upper Tanana Valley.
A narrow band of heavy snow stretching from around Eagle down to
Isabel Pass may lead to locally higher snowfall amounts this
evening, especially within the mountains. A warming trend has
begun from southeast to northwest across Northern Alaska as
increasing clouds and southerly flow bring surface temperatures
back towards normal in the single digits above and below zero.
Most cold weather, wind, and snow products expire over the next
12-18 hours while watches and warning continue along the Arctic
and NW Coast. Relatively benign conditions set up over the
majority of Northern Alaska later this week and into the weekend
with near normal temperatures and dry conditions.
&&
.KEY WEATHER MESSAGES...
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Winter weather headlines in effect for the eastern Alaska range
passes and Upper Tanana Valley through tonight as snow
increases from the southeast. Highest accumulations within
Alaska range passes.
- Temperatures moderate through the end of the week with highs in
the single digits above zero. The increasing sun angle brings a
return to daily diurnal temperature curves.
- Winds ramp up across higher elevations, peaking today and
Wednesday as a Tanana Valley Jet sets up near Delta Junction and
southerly gap winds increase through Alaska Range Passes.
West Coast and Western Interior...
- A prolonged high wind event ongoing across Western Alaska and
the Bering with wind gusts of 45-70 mph where warnings are in
effect. Near Blizzard conditions will continue at times near the
Bering Strait and for the NW Coast.
- Temperatures begin to moderate Wednesday afternoon back toward
zero and the single digits as the main core of cold air moves
west over the Bering Sea.
- Light snow south of the Seward Peninsula Wednesday and Thursday
with accumulations less than 1 inch.
North Slope and Brooks Range...
- Another round of Winter Storm Watches for blizzard conditions
have been issued from Utqiagvik to Kaktovik along the Arctic
Coast. Expect blizzard or near blizzard conditions from late
this evening through Thursday morning.
- A prolonged high wind event continues for the NW Arctic Coast
with gusts up to 60-70 mph through Thursday. Blizzard conditions
at times from Kivalina to Point Hope.
- Cold Weather Advisories and Extreme Cold Warnings include all of
the Brooks Range and North Slope through Tuesday for wind
chills as cold as -55 to -75F.
- Temperatures begin to moderate Wednesday with most areas seeing
temperatures between 0 and -20 F through the weekend.
&&
.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION... A complex meteorological set
up remains in place over Alaska bringing a wide range of weather
conditions to different parts of the state. A 495dm upper low has
been influencing the state for the past several days, bringing a
much colder arctic airmass to the region. This upper low is
finally shifting towards the West Coast and will make its way
westward into the Bering by tomorrow. Southerly flow setting up
on the back side of the low are in addition to increasing moisture
advection from the Gulf are working to kick out the arctic airmass
in place. This sets the stage for lows in the Gulf to bring energy
and moisture northward to portions of the Eastern Interior,
increasing wind and snow chances near the Alaska Range today and
tomorrow.
Wind: At the surface, an anomalously strong 1055mb+ Arctic high
remains in the high arctic while lower pressure in the Bering and
Pacific result in a tight northerly pressure gradient across the
state. This set up has led to blizzard conditions from high winds
and blowing snow across portions of the West Coast, NW Coast, and
Arctic Coast. As lower pressure moves into the Bering, the high
wind and blizzard threat shifts northward, north of the Seward
Peninsula by tomorrow. However, expect this same pattern to remain
in place across far Northern Alaska through the end of the week
where Blizzard Warnings remain in effect.
Southerly flow has begun within the Alaska range passes and in
portions of the Tanana Valley as a low in the Gulf swings a front
from the southeast into the area. A strong southerly gradient
across the Alaska Range and 700mb jet of 40-55kts will lead gusty
winds through the Eastern Alaska Range Passes and Delta Junction
over the next 24 hours. Towards Thursday and the end of the week,
the gradient and mid level jet become more easterly and less
favorable for strong winds in this region, therefore expect much
light flow for the end of the period.
Snow: Focusing on the far Eastern Interior toward the Yukon
border, Upper Tanana Valley and Eastern Alaska range for the snow
portion of the discussion. Satellite imagery shows a SW to NE
oriented front extending from the Gulf northeast into the Yukon
with a wave along it moving into Prince William Sound. A unique
meteorological set up has lead to a slow moving band of heavy snow
to move eastward across the state today. Aloft, a coupled jet has
placed the Upper Tanana Valley and SE interior in an area of
enhanced upper level divergence and lift. A quasi stationary
boundary on the SE side of the upper polar low has been the focus
for snow shower development in this region over the past 24 hours
as Gulf moisture advects northwest into the region over the
boundary. At the same time, the frontal boundary and associated
wave pushing in from the Gulf is working to increase lift locally
and enhance snow development activity. RAOB soundings from
Whitehorse today show steep mid and upper level lapse rates above
a strong low level inversion. The incoming front and southerly
flow have saturated the area above the inversion and dendritic
growth zone, creating an environment conducive for heavy snow.
With enhanced lift in the same region, a narrow band of heavy snow
has formed from the Central Yukon to near Eagle to Delta Junction
to Isabel Pass. This band has resulted in 1/4 mile or less
visibility at times and high snowfall rates. This can also be seen
on satellite based snowfall products such as AK-SFR imaging,
confirming the presence of the band. Expect periods of heavy snow
through the Upper Tanana Valley and Eastern Alaska range to
continue over the next several hours as the band slowly works
north and west. While this band will make its way towards
Fairbanks, increasing southerly winds through the Alaska range may
enhance downsloping the north. This band should weaken some as it
interacts with mid level dry air closer to Fairbanks, resulting
in only light snow chances further around Fairbanks and in areas
that are more prone to downsloping off the Alaska Range.
Temperatures: Increasing clouds from the southeast and southerly
flow will quickly eradicate the arctic airmass over the state. A
significant warming trend occurs aloft the next 24 hours with
850mb temps rising from the -20s to +0s in a short amount of time.
With upper ridging building in from NW Canada and low level
easterly flow setting up through the end of the week, the mild
airmass is expected to remain in place through the weekend with
highs near to above normal in the single digits...maybe even low
teens.
&&
.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...Benign conditions persist over the
Interior and much of the West Coast into the extended period,
however there are signs on the horizon of a more active pattern
setting up around the day 7 period and beyond. The polar low
responsible for the arctic air pushes off into Russia while weak
upper ridging extends from Northwest Canada into the Interior. The
trajectory and orientation of the ridging overhead should keep
the numerous waves and lows in the Gulf in southern and southwest
Alaska. Easterly/southeasterly flow persists at the surface into
the weekend with well above normal 850mb and surface temperature
anomalies. Overall relatively mild and dry conditions persist for
the interior
The most active region in the extended will be the Arctic and NW
Coast which will be under the influence of a polar airmass and the
strong 1050mb+ arctic high. The northeasterly pressure gradient
remains tight next week with an intense low level jet setting up
along the coast Sunday through the middle of next week. Periods of
high winds and near Blizzard conditions persist in this area with
this set up with Point Hope and surrounding areas likely dealing
with the worst conditions through the period. Despite a brief warm
up this weekend, expect colder air with double digits below zero
temps for next week. Periods of snow and snow showers remain in
the forecast for the Brooks Range as waves of energy drop down
from the high arctic this weekend and next week.

Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
516 PM AKST Tue Jan 27 2026
.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3:
Tonight through Friday)...
KEY MESSAGES:
- The significant snowfall event affecting much of Southcentral
will wind down this evening from east to west.
- An warm and unsettled pattern with multiple lows moving over
the Gulf will continue through the end of the week.
- A threat for light wintry mix will develop by Wednesday with
any precipitation that spills over the coastal mountains across
parts of the Mat-Su Valleys, Anchorage and Kenai Peninsula.
A swath of moderate to heavy snowfall is steadily progressing west
along an inverted trough extending from a weak low now
approaching the Barren Islands this afternoon. This band of heavy
snow is now mostly affecting the western Kenai Peninsula and
Susitna Valley, while light to moderate snow continues a bit
farther east across the Mat Valley and Anchorage vicinity.
Snowfall rates in and around Anchorage have lightened up compared
to what we saw earlier today. Even so, numerous travel impacts
along parts of the Seward Highway, Glenn Highway and Anchorage
area are lingering due to the very heavy snowfall rates observed
earlier on in the day. Snow should steadily end from east to west
this evening into the overnight as the trough axis continues to
push towards the Cook Inlet and western Alaska Range. Across the
Prince William Sound region, southeast winds picking up behind the
low/trough passage have ushered a warmer air mass into place,
turning snow over to rain at sea level for spots including
Whittier and Cordova. Farther north, snow has finally tapered off
across the Copper Basin, and it will remain mostly dry here
through tonight.
From Wednesday onwards, a warm and active pattern continues to
look on track as a series of potent lows move across the Gulf from
east to west. A low opening up to a surface trough will first move
across the northern Gulf on Wednesday morning, bringing a corridor
of Gales across parts of the northern Gulf as it arcs towards the
southern end of the Kenai Peninsula and weakens by the afternoon.
A stronger and more organized low will quickly move into the
southern Gulf by Wednesday afternoon, spreading a larger corridor
of high-end Gale force winds with Storm force gusts across much
of the northern and eastern Gulf. The center will slowly wobbles
into Kodiak Island by Thursday afternoon, then begin to rapidly
weaken over the Alaska Peninsula by Friday.
For land areas to the north, this pattern will entail an
onslaught of coastal rain/snow as strong east to southeast flow
sends multiple waves of precipitation into the coastal mountains
surrounding Prince William Sound and across the eastern Kenai
Peninsula. The strong easterly and cross-barrier flow developing
by Wednesday morning should limit potential for precipitation to
make it into the lee of the mountains to more inland areas. Even
so, some spill over will still be possible, particularly as a
northwest moving shortwave trough moves past around midday
Wednesday. A warm nose of temperatures above freezing will develop
aloft as warmer air over the Gulf spreads northwest with the
strong southeasterlies. Temperatures over interior valleys,
however, are unlikely to get above the freezing mark for the next
few days, and this cool surface air coupled with the warm air
aloft could lead to a localized threat for light freezing rain
across parts of the Kenai Peninsula north to the Mat Valley and
Anchorage areas. Again, anything that does make it past the
coastal mountains will be on the light side. Still, any amount of
freezing rain could lead to locally slick conditions, especially
for any sheltered spots along the Seward and Sterling Highway
corridors that stay at or below freezing near ground level.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS
(Days 1 through 3: This afternoon through Friday evening)...
Key Messages:
1) Snow and blowing will cause significant visibility reductions
across the Pribilof Islands through Wednesday morning.
2) Temperatures look to warm quicker across Mainland Southwest
Alaska with the arrival of snow showers and cloud cover advancing
westward from the Western Alaska Range.
3) Bands of light snow look to move across Mainland Southwest
through Thursday with light accumulations likely.
4) The Bering Sea and Aleutian Chain remain unsettled through the
short-term period.
Discussion:
Infrared satellite imagery shows cloud cover beginning to move
over the Western Alaska Range and into Mainland Southwest Alaska.
These clouds and associated light snow showers will advance
westward with time. This will cause temperatures to remain steady
and moderate through Thursday. Most areas tonight into early
Wednesday morning will experience wind chills in the -30s,
especially across the Kuskokwim Delta. Wind chills across the
interior will range mostly from the -20s to near -30. Although
wind chills briefly hit -40 this morning over Aniak, they are no
longer expected to be that cold due to the cloud cover moving in
as stated above. Therefore, the Cold Weather Advisories have been
allowed to be canceled across the Interior Kuskokwim Delta and the
Kuskokwim Valley. Light bands of snow will move across Southwest
Alaska from east to west through Thursday as diffluence aloft sets
up between the big upper low in the northern Bering and a low in
the Gulf of Alaska. Upper-level shortwaves moving in from the east
associated with the Gulf low could enhance snow at times across
Southwest. In general, light snow accumulations are likely through
Thursday across the Southwestern Mainland. There is more
uncertainty for Thursday night into Friday as the Gulf low could
move closer to the Alaska Peninsula (AKPEN) and Interior Bristol
Bay bringing more snow to interior areas by then.
Farther out west, the cold airmass over Southwest is advancing
southward across much of the Bering Sea currently. This cold
airmass will arrive at the Aleutian Chain through Wednesday as
snow showers commence through the day. However, before the cold
airmass makes it to the Aleutians, it will continue to make its
presence felt across the Pribilof Islands. Snow showers are
ongoing currently across St. Paul and St. George Islands as
temperatures continue to fall through the teens and eventually to
the single digits through the overnight hours. A Winter Weather
Advisory has been issued for the Pribilof Islands for snow and
blowing snow with visibility reductions as low as one-half mile or
less at times for the rest of today through early Wednesday
morning. Northerly wind gusts will be as high as 30 to 40 mph.
Visibilities across the Pribilofs will begin to improve through
Wednesday morning as winds slowly diminish. However, snow showers
will continue across the islands through much of Wednesday.
Elsewhere, scattered snow showers associated with light
deformation between the broad Bering upper-level low and the
upper-level low in the Gulf are likely across the AKPEN Wednesday
and Thursday with light accumulations. Light snow showers will
continue along the Western Aleutians Thursday and Friday.
&&
.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Saturday through
Tuesday)...
Few changes to the previous long-term discussion. The biggest
hazard to watch for will be persistent upslope precipitation along
Eastern Kenai Peninsula.
The long term forecast for both Southcentral and Southwest Alaska is
characterized by an active pattern. Many upper level features
will make their way into Alaska from the North Pacific, which will
bring a mix of weather from snow, rain, and winds.
For Southcentral, these upper level features will stream into the
Gulf of Alaska through the weekend. The Gulf Coast is likely to
see periods of precipitation as these features push inland. Due to
a warmer air mass from southerly flow, rain or a rain/snow mix is
the likely precipitation type for these waves. Any precipitation
that makes it further inland will likely be snow. A larger low
looks to move into the Gulf of Alaska on Sunday, likely bringing
gusty winds and precipitation to the Gulf Coast and Kodiak Island.
Southwest Alaska will be a little different. Cold air advection
due to northeasterly flow will continue through the weekend,
interacting with weak features to produce areas of snowfall in the
Bering and the Southwest Mainland through the weekend. Uncertainty
with the pattern arises on Monday with the large low in the Gulf
of Alaska potentially sending shortwaves to Western Alaska and
advecting warmer air. This could cause a mix of rain and snow for
the Aleutians by Monday.
-JAR/KC

.AVIATION...
PANC...Moderate snowfall will continue through late this afternoon
before slowly tapering off by tonight. Bands of heavier snow this
afternoon will drop cigs/vsby back to IFR or LIFR through the
evening. Snow will end rather abruptly around or shortly before
midnight, allowing ceilings and visibility to turn VFR and remain
so through Wednesday. Depending on the amount of lingering low-
level moisture in the wake of the snow, patchy fog may also be
possible overnight tonight through early Wednesday morning.
While winds are expected to remain northerly, a southeasterly
Turnagain Arm wind may clip the terminal between 8z and 10z. Light
northerly winds are expected to return after this time.
LLWS is also possible late tonight through early morning Wednesday
and again starting around noon Wednesday.

Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1001 PM AKST Tue Jan 27 2026
.UPDATE...Update to include the 06Z issuance...
Forecast remains on track with the gale force low tracking north
through the eastern gulf and attendant front lifting through the
panhandle this evening, bringing rain and gusty winds. Gusts
around 40 to 50 mph possible for Prince of Wales, Ketchikan,
Annette and Sitka, with Wind Advisories in effect for these
locations. Another front will bring more rain and strong gusty
winds for Wednesday.
&&
.SYNOPSIS...
Key Messages:
- Active weather will continue through Wednesday night as
multiple strong systems track along the Eastern Gulf of Alaska.
- Wind gusts up to 50 mph expected for the southern and coastal
panhandle Tuesday night. A stronger system will push inland
through Wednesday, with wind gusts up to 60 mph expected, mainly
near southwestern Prince of Wales Island and the Metlakatla area.
Wind Advisories and High Wind Warnings are in effect through
Wednesday night.
- Aviation conditions continue to be poor due to wind, with
numerous pilot reports of ongoing low-level wind shear.
Southeasterly to Easterly low-level wind shear will continue
through Wednesday, reaching near 70kts by Wednesday afternoon
across the southern panhandle.
- Mariners should exercise caution through Thursday with
southeasterly strong- gales and gusts to storm force winds
along the coast. Southerly seas along the coast will build to
near 25 ft. Many inner channels will feel gale force conditions
with the strongest winds near Prince of Wales Island, Clarence
Strait, and major ocean entrances. Winds and seas begin to
subside Thursday.
.SHORT TERM...Impactful wind events continue as the next front
associated with the multiple shortwave troughs moves in tonight
for the southern panhandle. Expecting to see this system largely
impact the southern panhandle, including Prince of Wales Island,
Ketchikan, Metlakatla, and Sitka beginning after 6 pm with wind
gusts between 40-50 mph. As the system moves northward, a triple
point low looks to move up through Clarence Strait, which is
mainly responsible for the strong wind gusts in the Ketchikan
area, but is expected to diminish rapidly as it moves northward.
The second cold core low pressure system near the central gulf
does look to produce a significantly stronger front, with moderate
to heavy rain and strong winds; however, outside of southwestern
Prince of Wales Island and the entrance to Clarence Strait, the
warm occluded front looks far too stable inland for any
significant gusts to work their way to the surface. Therefore,
Petersburg, Wrangell, Juneau, and most of the Icy Strait corridor
was kept out of any wind advisories going forward, with wind gusts
up to 35 mph.
Not expecting much impact from the moderate to heavy rain, as
sub-prime snowpacks have not had a history of significant runoff
yet, and are not expected to for the next 48 hours. As such, no
significant rises in rivers, creeks, or streams is expected, with
water levels looking to stay below bankfull conditions.
.LONG TERM...For the start of the long term, we will have a low
in the Gulf of Alaska that will be bringing rain to the panhandle.
This system is not expected to be that significant but some
stronger winds and rain could be possible. After this system moves
through the area on Thursday, we are expected to see a break in
the weather for Thursday night into Friday morning. The concern
then turns towards the next system that is expected to move from
south to north near Haida Gwaii before continuing northward. There
is some concern with this low as the GFS and NAM have this system
moving north along the coast which could bring high winds to a
lot of locations for the panhandle. The Euro wants to track this
system to the north and east more going inland over Misty Fjords.
This would keep the stronger winds more isolated compared to the
GFS/NAM solution. Ensemble guidance at this point does not provide
as much as one would hope for. EPS continues to stay in line with
the deterministic Euro in that the low tracks over Ketchikan
before going into BC. Meanwhile, the GEFS is more in line with its
deterministic counterpart in that the low tracks along the coast
before going inland on the NE Gulf Coast. This is something that
will need to be monitored for the next couple of days as the
potential for high winds across the panhandle exists.
After this system exits the area, the panhandle should see somewhat
of a break from any significant systems moving through. High
pressure is expected to move through the area Friday night into
Saturday morning. This reprieve will be short though as the active
weather is expected to continue for the long term with a warm and
wet pattern remaining in place.
Looking into the extended forecast to early next week, model
guidance is trending toward an upper level arctic trough over the
Bering dipping down south of the Aleutian chain. This would shift
eastward at the start of the week and cause an amplifying upper
level ridge to surge northward over the gulf towards SE AK. In the
lower levels, this would support a strong surface low around the
central to western gulf and ample moisture transport, particularly
into the southern panhandle, from a warm front and associated
weak to potentially moderate atmospheric river around Tuesday of
next week. Stay tuned for further updates as we monitor this
potentially developing pattern.
.AVIATION.../through Wednesday evening/...
Flying conditions will be impacted through the period as multiple
lows track along the E Gulf of Alaska along the coast of SEAK
with rain, variable VIS/CIGS, and strong LLWS expected.
The first low is currently pushing north through the eastern Gulf,
with associated front lifting through the panhandle. This front
will bring a period of gusty winds (10-20G20-30kt) and rain,
along with MVFR VIS and CIGs. Conditions will improve to become
generally VFR from south to north through the overnight hours.
Another low and associated front will lift north through the
region, reaching the southern panhandle during the morning and the
northern panhandle during the afternoon. Expect another round of
gusty winds (15-25G30-40kt), rain, and reduced flight conditions
(generally MVFR).
Main aviation threat through the period will be the strong LLWS
across much of the panhandle as these fronts track inland, with
upwards of 50 to 60kts expected across the central and southern
panhandle TAF sites, from Sitka to Petersburg Southward. Brief
break possible tonight in between systems, but expecting a
stronger round of SE-ly LLWS to develop by early Wednesday morning
around 40 to 50kt, approaching 60+kt near Ketchikan, Annette
Island, and Prince of Wales Island late morning and early
afternoon.
.MARINE...
Outside (Gulf and coastal waters):
A complex of lows will continue to impact the region through the
week, with another round of strong gales with gusts to storm force
anticipated for Tuesday night, persisting through Wednesday.
Current situation along our coast is diminishing gale force winds
along the coast, with a confused sea state; dominant energy out of
the south- southeast with significant heights near 10 to 15 ft
and period less than 10 seconds. Winds will continue to increase
this afternoon near Dixon Entrance, with sustained winds of strong
gales, gusts to storm force, rapidly moving north through the
night. Fresh Seas will also build to near 25 ft, being sustained
by strong gales Wednesday out of the southeast, bringing dangerous
conditions for the majority of the Gulf of Alaska and coastal
locations. As the parent system makes landfall along the AK
Peninsula Thursday, winds and seas relax Friday into Saturday for
the majority of the northern coast. Another large system moves
into the Gulf Saturday afternoon, increasing easterly gale force
winds and seas building by Sunday.
Mariners should be aware of a secondary low forming along our
coast Friday, with quite a bit of uncertainty on strength and
track of the low. Some guidance has this low rapidly moving north
toward the Fairweather grounds which could result in southerly
gale force conditions impacting Chichagof/Baranof and Cross Sound.
However, most guidance has this low making landfall in the
southern Panhandle, bring gale force conditions to western PoW and
Clarence Strait. Stay tuned to NOAA WX radio and
weather.gov/Juneau for updates.
Inside (Inner Channels):
Tuesday early afternoon our first low was moving off into the
Kenai, with winds diminishing from their peaks overnight Monday.
Dont let this lull trick you, winds will build to near-gale to
gale force for many inner channels overnight Tuesday into
Wednesday, with particular focus on the central/southern inner
channels, western shores of Prince of Wales, and Sitka Sound.
Clarence Strait and Metlakatla will see widespread strong gale
force conditions with storm force gusts. The one exception to
winds remaining 30 knots Wednesday is likely northern Lynn Canal
due to a parallel surface pressure gradient.
