Area forecast discussion, Oct 30, 10:00 PM AKST, 6 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 400 AM ADT MON OCT 31 2005 .DISCUSSION... UPPER LEVELS..AN ARCTIC LOW CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE INTERIOR. EXPECT CAA TO INTENSIFY THROUGH MID AND LATTER PORTIONS OF THIS WEEK AS THE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE ARCTIC LOW AND EVENTUALLY THE LOW ITSELF PUSHES SOUTH INTO THE SUSITNA VALLEY AND THROUGH TO THE NORTHERN GULF. A WEAK AREA OF VORTICITY WILL MOVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING. SURFACE..THE VORT MAX MOVING ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL WILL HOPEFULLY KEEP FOG TO MINIMUM THIS MORNING. STRATUS IS MORE LIKELY TODAY. HOWEVER THE FRESH COATING OF SNOW ON THE GROUND MAY ENHANCE RADIATIONAL COOLING ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME FOG ACROSS THE REGION. NORTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO FUNNEL THROUGH GAPS TODAY OVER THE MARINES AND THROUGH AREAS SUCH AS THE COPPER RIVER DELTA. EXPECT STRONGER WIND GUSTS THROUGH THE DAY. SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE COAST THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF TREKS TO THE EAST. A SUBSIDIARY TROUGH WILL FORM ALONG THE NORTHERN COAST TO CREATE SOME ADDITIONAL INSTABILITY FROM CORDOVA TO KODIAK. SOUTHWEST AK..A STRONG WEATHER FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW ON THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WILL MOVE FROM THE WESTERN BERING EASTWARD TO STRETCH ALONG THE Y-K DELTA AND INTO BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT. GALES AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS RAIN AND SNOW. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALES 155 160 165 180 170 171 172 175 176 179 185 FIRE WEATHER...NONE RNW OCT 05
