AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AST SUN JAN 2 2005

.DISCUSSION...

...UPPER LEVEL PICTURE THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD...

MODELS HAVE BEEN VERY PERSISTENT WITH THE DEVELOPING LONG WAVE
PATTERN.

AN OMEGA BLOCK HAS SET-UP OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC...WITH THE RIDGE
AXIS EXTENDING THROUGH THE EASTERN GULF. THE TROUGH IN THE CENTRAL
BERING COMBINED WITH THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF/AK-YUKON BORDER
HAS SET UP A SOUTHWEST FLOW FROM THE ALASKA PENINSULA EAST. THE
TROUGH WILL PROGRESS SLOWLY EAST. BY TUESDAY NIGHT THE TROUGH WILL
WEAKEN OVER THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AS IT FLATTENS THE AXIS OF THE
TROUGH OVER THE GULF. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL MOVE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WITH A RIDGE AXIS BUILDING OVER THE
ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA.  THIS WILL BRING A DRIER COLDER
NORTHWEST FLOW TO OUR MAINLAND ZONES WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THIS
PATTERN WILL ALSO BRING JET SUPPORTED WESTERLIES AND NORTHERLIES TO
KODIAK ISLAND AREA...PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE NORTH GULF COAST.
CURRENT THOUGHT IS FOR ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS MID WEEK.  MODELS HAVE
BEEN PERSISTENTLY PROGRESSING THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE OVER BRISTOL
BAY BY THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH THE AXIS OF THE RIDGE EXTENDING IN A
SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST DIAGONAL FROM 30N TO 70N. THE CENTER IS THEN
PROGGED TO MOVE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL BY NEXT WEEKEND. THIS SET-UP COULD
LIKELY BRING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FOG TO MAINLAND ALASKA AND
SOUTHCENTRAL FOR THE END OF THE WORKWEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

...AT THE SURFACE IN THE EAST DOMAIN...
WEAKENING FRONT IS PROGRESSING EAST THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL THIS
MORNING. THE SOUTHERLY FETCH WITH THIS SYSTEM AND WARM AIR ADVECTION
HAS PRODUCED SOME FREEZING RAIN IN KENAI... THE 12Z SOUNDING
CERTAINLY SUPPORTS THE POSSIBILITY OF BRIEF FREEZING RAIN THIS
MORNING IN ANCHORAGE AS WELL. THE FRONT WILL PROGRESS OUT OF OUR
FORECAST DOMAIN THIS AFTERNOON - AS ANOTHER JET SUPPORTED WAVE BEGINS
TO MOVE NORTH FROM THE PACIFIC. THIS WAVE WILL BE ENHANCED BY THE
WEAKENING FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL BERING THIS MORNING AS BOTH PROGRESS
TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL THIS EVENING. THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE EAST
DOMAIN WILL SEE THE MOST PRECIPITATION OUT OF THIS SYSTEM... WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IN VALDEZ AND CORDOVA BEGINNING
SUNDAY NIGHT. MODEL MOS GUIDANCE ALSO HINTS AT SEVERAL INCHES
POSSIBLE FOR THE CENTRAL COPPER RIVER BASIN AND THE SUSITNA VALLEY.

...AT THE SURFACE WEST DOMAIN...
THE LARGE WESTERN ALEUTIAN LOW HAS WEEKEND TO A STRONG 960 MB AND IS
NOW NEAR BUOY 46035 IN THE WESTERN BERING SEA. THIS STORM BROUGHT
GREATER THAN 75 MPH GUSTS TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH 51.5 FOOT
SEAS RECORDED AT A BUOY SOUTH OF AMCHITKA OVERNIGHT.  WELL BE ON THE
LOOK OUT FOR POTENTIAL MINOR COASTAL FLOODING IN THE EXTREME NORTH
COAST KUSKOKWIM DELTA ZONE THIS EVENING WITH THE WEST FETCH ACROSS
THE BERING AND THE SWELL. SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR ADVECTION IS EVIDENT
BEHIND THIS LOW IN BOTH SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND THE POPCORN
CONVECTION INDICATED BY SATELLITE IMAGERY. THIS LOW WILL IS
PROGRESSING NORTH NORTHEAST TODAY CONTINUING WESTERLIES AND
SOUTHWESTERLY GALES AND STORMS IN THE BERING.  THE ASSOCIATED FRONT
IS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING EAST.
PRECIPITATION IS ALREADY INDICATED BY THE BETHEL RADAR IN ADVANCE OF
THIS FRONT.  RAIN AND SNOW WILL PROGRESS INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION
TODAY WITH SNOW IN THE NORTHERN KUSKOKWIM VALLEY BY THIS EVENING.
