AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
1015 AM AST FRI FEB 11 2005

.DISCUSSION...
ANALYSIS - 5 TO 6 WAVE PATTERN FOR THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE THIS
MORNING WITH MUCH OF THE ENERGY FOCUSED ON A MAJOR UPPER LOW JUST OFF
THE S END OF KAMCHATKA. THIS CENTER IS OVER A 958 MB STORM WITH A
STRONG OCCLUDED FRONT INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THE NEXT MAJOR
UPPER LOW WAS OVER ANADYR WITH A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH
THROUGH PACV THEN S ALONG 142W AT 12Z. THIS SUPPORTS A 1001 MB LOW N
OF PABE AT 12Z AND A 992 MB LOW JUST ESE OF PAMD AT 12Z. THE GULF LOW
HAS A REALLY COOL RADAR SIGNATURE WITH SPIRAL SNOW BANDS AROUND IT
THROUGH 18Z WITH THE CENTER TRACKING SE. OF NOTE IS AN UPPER RIDGE
REARING ITS UGLY HEAD OVER THE ROCKIES WILL INTO CANADA. AT 250 MB
12Z THE JET HAS A STRONG MERGING BETWEEN THE POLAR AND SUBTROPICAL
OVER CHINA 180 KNOTS TO A SPLIT AROUND 170E WITH THE POLAR BRANCH
INTO AN UPPER RIDGE ALONG 175W OR SO.

AER FORECASTS - OUR FIRST CHALLENGE THIS MORNING IS IN THE SHORT TERM

AS TO WHEN TO END THE LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS. THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS
IS NOT THROUGH YET SO MUST KEEP SHOWERS IN INTO THIS AFTERNOON. NEXT
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER 160W BY 12Z SAT FOR DRYING AND
CLEARING AND COLDER TEMPS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS RIDGE IS PROGRESSIVE
AND WILL MOVE OVER 150W BY 06Z SUN AS PER ALL MODELS. NOW FOR THE
HARD PART - MODELS DIVERGE IN SOLUTION AS EARLY AS 12Z SUN ON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT SURFACE LOW IN THE WESTERN GULF AREA.
THE ETA FORECASTS 1006 MB OVER BUOY 46080 00Z MON. GFS-190 HAS A 986
MB LOW OVER PAKN AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER MUCH HAND WAVING WE DECIDED
ON THE GFS-190 SOLUTION KEEPING THE DEVELOPING LOW TO THE WEST AND
SETTING UP A CHINOOK FOR ANCHORAGE ON SUN AND GALES IN THE GULF.

ALU FORECASTS - ALL MODELS MOVE THE STORM CENTER NEAR PASY BY 00Z SUN
IN THE LOWER 960S AS PER ALL OF THE MODELS. WE WILL USE THE GFS-190
FOR THIS PACKAGE BECAUSE WE FAVOR THE WAY IT HANDLES THE WAVES AND
DEVELOPERS ON THE FRONT IN ADVANCE OF THIS STORM. MOST WAVES DEVELOP
THEN WEAKEN INTO THE CENTRAL BERING SEA WHICH LOOKS REASONABLE. THE
GFS FORECASTS A 986 MB LOW OVER PAKN BY 00Z MON ON THE FRONT WHICH
LOOKS BETTER THAN THE ETA KEEPING IT IN THE GULF. ALL MODELS AGREE
THAT ANOTHER LOW IN THE 970S WILL CRASH INTO COLD BAY BY 12Z MON
WHICH IS PRETTY QUICK ON THE HEELS OF THE BRISTOL BAY ONE. WITH THE
ADVANCE OF THE JET STREAM THIS IS REASONABLE BUT NOT CERTAIN.
