AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
1200 PM AST SUN JAN 23 2005

.DISCUSSION...
990 MB LOW NEAR KODIAK ISLAND THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN
THROUGH TODAY AND WILL DRIFT NW AND DISSIPATE MON. RADAR AND SAT DATA
INDICATE SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER MUCH OF THE NORTH GULF AND EAST
EXPOSURES OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA THIS MORNING. SHOWERS SHOULD
DIMINISH THROUGHOUT TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW BECOMES DIFFUSE AND
UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WEAKEN. LOW STRATUS/FOG ALONG THE NORTH GULF MAY
BE A CONCERN TONIGHT AFTER OF DAY AND RAIN AND THE SLACKING OF
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND LOWERING THICKNESS VALUES TONIGHT.

MODELS ARE TAKING A WAVE WHICH DEVELOPS ALONG THE BROAD FRONT
STRETCHING ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC AND MOVING IT NORTH. THE UKMET
AND ETA/MESO ETA SOLUTIONS ARE SLOWER AND MUCH WEAKER THAN THE GFS
MODEL. WITH MAIN ENERGY TRANSPORT BEING FURTHER SOUTH WITH WESTERLY
JET ALONG 45N...IT SEEMS UNREASONABLE THAT WAVES DEVELOPING ALONG
FRONTAL ZONE WOULD INTENSIFY AS THEY TRACK NORTH. FOR NOW THE
UKMET/ETA/MESO ETA SOLUTIONS APPEAR TO BE THE MORE REASONABLE AND
WILL USED IN AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGES.

EXPECT NEXT FRONTAL LOW TO MOVE TO NEAR THE WESTERN AK PEN WITH A
PRESSURE IN THE LOWER 980S MON NIGHT. CENTER CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS
IT CROSSES THE AK PEN EARLY TUE. EXPECT MAX WIND ADVISORY CONDITIONS
THROUGH GAPS(TURNAGAIN ARM/PORTAGE VALLEY) AND HIGHER ELEVATIONS OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL MON NIGHT AND TUE. APPROACH OF LOW WILL ALSO BRING
FAIRLY BRISK EAST/GAP WINDS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE AND OVER
SOUTHWEST ALASKA(ESPECIALLY CAPES).

LOW COMPLEX OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AND
PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER MON NIGHT/TUE.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...SEE LATEST PACKAGE.
