Area forecast discussion, Aug 26, 12:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 PM ADT FRI AUG 26 2005

.DISCUSSION...NORTH AND NORTHWEST WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN THE
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AREA AND GULF COAST AS A 998 MB LOW JUST SOUTH
OF THE GULF MOVES EASTWARD TOWARD THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS. THIS
LOW COMBINED WITH A RIDGE IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA IN CAUSING THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TO INCREASE AND THUS THE INCREASED WINDS.

BIG FORECAST QUESTION FOR ALL MAINLAND AREAS FOR TONIGHT IS: WILL THE
NORTHERLY WINDS BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP FOG FROM FORMING? AS OF THIS
TIME IT LOOKS LIKE MOST AREAS WILL BE SOMEWHAT PROTECTED FROM THE FOG
BY THE NORTHERLY FLOW, HOWEVER THERE WILL BE AREAS OF RADIATION FOG
THAT FORM OVERNIGHT AND PERSIST INTO TOMORROW MORNING. ADVECTION FOG
IN POSSIBLE IN COOK INLET AS THE WATER TEMPERATURES ARE MUCH WARMER
THAN THE LAND TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE.

GETTING FARTHER WEST THERE IS A 1000 MB LOW NORTHWEST OF ATTU THAT IS
INTENSIFYING AND HEADING TOWARDS ST LAWRENCE ISLAND. THIS LOW WILL
BRING GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE ENTIRE BERING SEA FORECAST AREA AS IT
PROGRESSES. THE DEPTH OF THIS LOW IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE FOR THIS
AREA FROM YESTERDAY WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THIS LOW WOULD BE AT LEAST 10
MB WEAKER.

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