AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
1200 PM ADT SAT JUN 11 2005

.DISCUSSION...
500MB...OMEGA BLOCKING PATTERN IS IN THE FORMATIVE STAGE. RIDGE
CONTINUES TO BUILD OVER THE MAINLAND AS LOW CENTERS CUT-OFF SOUTH OF
THE ALASKA GULF AND BERING SEA. BLOCK SHOULD HOLD THROUGH MID TO LATE
NEXT WEAK. BEFORE BLOCK SETS UP...MAY SEE ANOTHER WEAK EASTERLY WAVE
MOVE ALONG THE NORTH GULF SUN.

SURFACE...EASTERLY WAVE WHICH MOVED THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING
IS WORKING ITS WAY INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA. MORNING SOUNDING IN THIS
REGION INDICATED GENERAL UNSTABLE AIR...EXCEPT FOR SHALLOW LOW LEVEL
INVERSIONS. EXPECT COOLER LOWER LEVEL AIR AND EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER
MAY MAY OFFSET TO SOME DEGREE THE LIFT PROVIDED BY WAVE. SO FOR NOW
EXPECT MAINLY SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH ONLY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA TODAY. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD BE
MORE WIDESPREAD IF CLEARING OCCURS ON BACKSIDE OF WAVE.

LOW OVER THE GULF CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AND SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTH. RIDGE
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST CONTINUES ITS HOLD THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...HOWEVER WEAK EASTERLY WAVE MAY BRING A SHOT OF SHOWERS TO
THE THE NORTH GULF SUN. RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SHIFTS TO
THE AK PEN ON MONDAY. DEVELOPING NORTH PAC LOW MOVES NORTH OF SHEMYA
MON AFTERNOON AND INTENSIFIES. EXPECT SOUTHERLY GALES/STORMS TO
SPREAD TO THE WEST/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SUN.
