AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
200 PM AST SUN DEC 4 2005

.DISCUSSION...MODEL INITIALIZATIONS SIMILAR AND REASONABLE. THERE
CONTINUES TO BE SIGNIFICANT MODEL DIFFERENCES ON MSL PRESSURE/WIND
FORECAST FIELDS. NCEP MODEL TEMP/MOISTURE ADVECTION PATTERNS ARE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT. GFS IS A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE ON MOISTURE ADVECTION
INTO SOUTHCENTRAL AND SW AK. THIS SEEMS REASONABLE AS SNOW HAS
STARTED TO SHOW UP ON THE PABC/PAKC RADARS. MORNING PACKAGE IN
GENERAL WAS BASED GFS RUN. WILL CONTINUE SAME THEME WITH SOME
ADJUSTMENTS.

.EAST...
ARCTIC FRONT IS PUSHING NORTH FROM THE AK PEN AND IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
NORTH OF KODIAK CITY EARLY MON MORNING TO THE JUST SOUTH OF THE KENAI
PEN/N GULF COAST MON AFTERNOON. GFS THEN MOVES ARCTIC BOUNDARY OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COPPER RIVER BASIN TUE AFTERNOON. EXPECT
THAT THIS APPEARS TOO FAST AS POCKETS OF COLD AIR WILL REMAIN OVER
INTERIOR VALLEYS SOUTHCENTRAL. EXPECT OVERRUNNING SNOW WILL MOVE INTO
KODIAK ZONE THIS AFTERNOON AND SHOULD SHIFT TO RAIN EARLY MON
MORNING. FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL KODIAK ZONE LIKELY THIS
AFTERNOON/TONIGHT...MAINLY WEST SIDE OF ISLAND. OVERRUNNING SNOW WILL
SPREAD TO SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT AND INTO THE COPPER RIVER ON MON.
FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL POSSIBLE SOUTHCENTRAL TUE.

.WEST...
ARCTIC BOUNDARY BOUNDARY HAS MOVED NORTH OF THE AK PEN AND WILL
RETREAT TO OVER THE BRISTOL BAY COAST TUE MORNING. ARCTIC FRONT MOVES
TO THE SOUTHERN KUSKOKWIM VALLEY/KUSKOKWIM DELTA MON EVE AND OVER THE
NORTHERN KUSKOKWIM VALLEY MON. RADARS ALONG THE SW COAST SHOW
OVERRUNNING SNOW MOVING TO TOWARD COAST. EXPECT SNOW OVER BRISTOL BAY
WILL BECOME MIXED WITH FREEZING RAIN TONIGHT AND WILL PROB SHIFT TO
RAIN OR MIXED MON. SNOW MOVING INTO THE DELTA PROB WILL BECOME MIXED
WITH FREEZING RAIN MON AS COLD AIR OVERRIDES TRAPPED COLD AIR.

SERIES OF INTENSE LOW PRESSURE CENTERS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE
WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. EXPECT PERIODS OF
