Area forecast discussion, Mar 3, 9:00 AM AKST, 14 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 PM AST THU MAR 3 2005 .DISCUSSION... UPPER LEVELS...DOMINATE FEATURE FOR THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CANADIAN ROCKIES NOSING INTO THE EASTERN INTERIOR OF ALASKA THIS MORNING. OVER THE BERING THE PERSISTENT ALEUTIAN LOW REMAINS OVER THE CENTRAL CHAIN. THROUGH THE 84 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD THE RIDGING WILL CONTINUE OVER THE CANADIAN ROCKIES AND WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST. THE ALEUTIAN LOW WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE PERIOD. A REX BLOCK OVER SOUTHWESTERN CONUS HOLDS IN PLACE THROUGH 168 HOURS WITH THE GFS MODEL. LOOK FOR LITTLE CHANGE IN THE FORECAST TREND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD. SURFACE...A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE FROM THE CENTRAL YUKON ACROSS THE NORTH GULF COAST. A MAJOR SYSTEM ABOUT 700 NM SOUTHWEST OF KODIAK WILL BE THE PRIMARY SYSTEM FOR BOTH FORECAST DOMAINS THROUGH THE FIRST 84 HOURS. THE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY WOBBLE FROM IT/S CURRENT POSITION JUST SOUTH OF 50N AND SLIGHTLY WEST OF 160W TO UNALASKA BY 60 HOURS THEN RETROGRESSES TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AS THE NEXT LOW MOVES UP ON THE ALASKA PENINSULA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS...SYNOPTICALLY THE UKMET/NAM/GFS HOLD IN AGREEMENT THROUGH 84 HOURS WITH THE MAJOR FEATURES. THE SYSTEM MOVING UP INTO THE ALASKA PENINSULA HAS SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE WIND FIELD AT 72-84 HOURS THE GFS AND UKMET ARE A BIT QUICKER BRINGING THE STORM FORCE WINDS INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF ALASKA WHERE THE NAM IS SLOWER. PREFER THE SLOWER NAM MODEL. THE MAJOR UPPER LOW OVER THE ALEUTIANS AND THE PRIMARY JET TO THE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD WEAKEN ANY SURFACE LOW AS IT APPROACHES THE PENINSULA AND SLOWER MOVEMENT CAN BE EXPECTED. THIS GOES RIGHT ALONG WITH THE NAM. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE...ZONES 120 130 132 138 140 150 155 160 165 170 172 176 185 HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY...176 185 FIRE WEATHER...NONE. PROTON MAR 05
