Area forecast discussion, Mar 5, 9:00 AM AKST, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
200 PM AST SAT MAR 5 2005
.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVELS...THE ALEUTIAN LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE
CENTRAL CHAIN. A STRONG 200 KT PLUS JET CONTINUES TO RACE ACROSS THE
NORTH PACIFIC TO THE SOUTH OF THE CHAIN. RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE
WESTERN CANADIAN ROCKIES. THIS PATTERN LOOKS TO HOLD IN POSITION
THROUGH 180 HOURS AS PER THE GFS MODEL.
SURFACE...A WEAKENING LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN OVER THE EASTERN BERING
SEA AND WEAKEN AS THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY
TOWARDS THE AREA. RIDGING CONTINUES OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA
WITH WEAK TROUGHING THROUGH THE INTERIOR. THE PATTERN FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE STRONG SYSTEMS MOVING ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC
WILL BEING TO RECURVE AND WEAKEN AS THEY CROSS 50N AND DISSIPATE IN
THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. MAIN PROBLEM AREAS WILL BE KODIAK
ISLAND...THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND THE NORTH GULF COAST WITH WINDS
FROM THE ASSOCIATED FRONTS.
MODELS...SYNOPTICALLY THE BIG THREE NAM/GFS/UKMET HAVE THE SAME
OVERALL SOLUTION FOR THE FIRST 84 HOURS THE ONLY DIFFERENCES OCCUR
LATE IN THE FORECAST PACKAGE WITH TIMING. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND BY
USING THE NAM FOR THE GUIDANCE WITH ITS SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE
SYSTEMS IN THE LATER PERIODS. OTHERWISE IN THE SHORT TERM THE MIX OF
THE THREE WORKS OUT GOOD.
