Polar-like Low in the Gulf of Alaska

#1 Postby WaveBreaking » Wed Mar 18, 2026 10:00 pm

Just noticed this cool feature in the Gulf of Alaska that has been milling around for about a day. It has an eye feature on satellite, and model analysis shows that it has a very shallow warm core in the lower levels. You can also see it on Alaska’s PAIH radar tower too!

Edit: Actually it seems this system is still extratropical since it has a stationary front attached to the center on surface analysis. So it’s probably an extratropical cyclone with a very strong warm seclusion.
