AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT THU SEP 15 2005

.DISCUSSION...

.ANALYSIS...AS OF 08Z THE BERING SEA LOW HAS DEEPENED INTO THE LOW
TO MID 970S (THERE ARE NO OBS NEAR THE LOW CENTER TO PINPOINT ACTUAL
MSLP). COLD FRONT LIES ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST JUST EAST OF NUNIVAK
ISLAND SOUTHWARD TO SAND POINT. WINDS ALONG THE FRONT ARE GUSTING
UP TO 45 MPH WITH SOME STRONGER GUSTS THROUGH CHANNELED AREAS AND
BEGINNING TO DIMINISH A LITTLE AS FRONT STRETCHES OUT AND MOVES
INLAND. ABUNDANT MOISTURE ALONG THE FRONT NOTED ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY IS PUSHING INLAND AND TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA. A TROUGH
AXIS EXTENDS FROM THE LOW CENTER SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING
TO JUST WEST OF DUTCH HARBOR. WINDS GENERALLY 25 TO 35 KTS ACROSS
THE BERING SEA REGION WITH SOME WEAK COLD ADVECTION LIKELY HELPING
PRODUCE SOME DOWNWARD MOMENTUM AND HIGHER WIND GUSTS. THE MAIN EFFECT
OF THE TROUGH AXIS MOVING THROUGH WILL BE A WIND SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHWEST. ALSO APPEARS TO BE SOME SHOWERS FOCUSED ALONG THIS
AXIS. SOUTHCENTRAL STILL BEING DOMINATED BY RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
AT THE MOMENT. WINDS BEGINNING TO PICK UP ALONG TURNAGAIN ARM AS
THE FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST.

.MODEL ANALYSIS...NAM/GFS/UKMET ALL VERIFYING WELL ON LOW POSITION
AND STRENGTH AS WELL AS ACCOMPANYING FRONTS AND TROUGH. MODELS
SOLUTIONS HAVE ALSO COME TOGETHER ON DEVELOPMENT OF LOW ALONG
COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT NEAR THE NORTHERN END OF KODIAK ISLAND
AND MOVEMENT INLAND OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA. GFS INDICATES ANOTHER
FRONTAL LOW FORMING OVER THE GULF FRI EVENING...HOWEVER SINCE
IT IS THE ODD MAN OUT ON THIS WILL LEAN TOWARD NAM/UKMET SOLUTION
AT THAT POINT. MODELS HAVE ALSO COME TOGETHER ON NEXT LOW THAT
TRACKS SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AND INTO
THE GULF SATURDAY. MINIMAL DIFFERENCES IN SURFACE PRESSURE AND
LOCATION DO NOT HAVE ANY SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL IMPACT SO WILL
TAKE AN AVERAGE OF THE THREE MODELS IN DEALING WITH THIS LOW.

.SHORT-TERM FORECAST...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS FRONT
MOVES INLAND THIS MORNING. HOWEVER WILL LIKELY SEE SOME LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR IN MCGRATH EARLY THIS MORNING SINCE WINDS TO NOT USUALLY
MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE THERE. AS FRONT MOVES INTO WESTERN GULF THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING RIDGE WILL STRENGTHEN ALONG NORTH GULF COAST
AND TURNAGAIN ARM WINDS (AND OTHER EAST-WEST GAPS) WILL INCREASE
ABOVE WIND ADVISORY LEVELS. EVEN WITH THIS WIND ABUNDANT MOISTURE
AND SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PRODUCE RAIN ACROSS AREAS ON THE LEE
OF THE KENAI AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS THAT USUALLY RECEIVE DOWNSLOPE
DRYING. HOWEVER...WHEN LOW FORMS NORTH OF KODIAK ISLAND TONIGHT
FLOW WILL BECOME SOUTHEAST TO EAST AND MOST OF RAIN WILL BE CUT
OFF IN THESE AREAS. THEN EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN/SHOWERS
FOR THESE AREAS FRIDAY AS DISSIPATING LOW AND WHAT IS LEFT OF
THE FRONT MOVE NORTH AND EAST ACROSS THE REGION. MOST OF COPPER
RIVER BASIN WILL SEE TYPICAL DOWNSLOPE DRYING THERE UNTIL FRIDAY
WHEN GRADIENT WEAKENS AND REMNANTS OF FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.
WET CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA TODAY AND FRIDAY.
THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF DRYING FOR MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL
FRIDAY NIGHT BEFORE THE NEXT LOW MOVES INTO THE GULF SATURDAY
SPREADING RAIN MAINLY OVER THE COASTAL SECTIONS. OUT WEST EXPECT
BROAD WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE BERING TODAY AND FRIDAY WITH WINDS
SPEEDS GENERALLY 30 TO 40 KTS. HAVE BEEN MONITORING THE POTENTIAL
FOR COASTAL FLOODING ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WITH THIS LONG
WESTERLY FETCH. BASED ON THE NOAA EXTRATROPICAL WATER LEVEL FORECAST
WEB PAGE IT APPEARS THE THREAT IS MINIMAL. WILL PASS ON TO DAY SHIFT
TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ONCE THE NEW MODEL DATA IS IN. WINDS ACROSS
THE BERING WILL DIMINISH TO SMALL CRAFT BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS
LOW TO THE NORTH WEAKENS. HOWEVER WITH COLD ADVECTION THERE MAY
BE POCKETS OF GALE FORCE WINDS INTO SATURDAY. THE LOW THAT TRACKS
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS FRIDAY AND AKPENN SATURDAY WILL BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF GALE FORCE WINDS AND RAIN. ALTHOUGH WITH THE SWIFT MOVEMENT
TO THE EAST (AS THE LOW IS GUIDED BY THE UPPER LEVEL JET) THE
EFFECTS OF THE STORM WILL ONLY BE FELT FOR ABOUT 12 HOURS IN ANY
ONE LOCATION.

.EXTENDED FORECAST...A PROGRESSIVE WAVE PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD WHICH WILL
RESULT IN A CONTINUATION OF THE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN WET AND DRY
AS IS TYPICAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THE STORM IN THE GULF ON
SATURDAY WILL TRACK TO NEAR YAKUTAT SUNDAY AND THEN INLAND OVER
CANADA. THE REMNANTS OF THE CURRENT NORTHERN BERING SEA STORM WILL
MOVE INLAND OVER WESTERN ALASKA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY AND PUSH
EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO STORMS WILL
MAINTAIN SHOWERS OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH
GRADUAL DRYING AND CLEARING MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE NEXT
STORM IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE BERING LATE MONDAY AND SPREAD
THE NEXT ROUND OF MOISTURE AND WINDS TO MAINLAND ALASKA BY THURSDAY.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 120 130 132 150 170 172 175 179 180 185.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
