AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AST TUE JAN 25 2005

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TODAY. SOME DIFFERENCES ON THE LOW
CURRENTLY FAR SOUTH OF THE GULF WILL HOPEFULLY BE RESOLVED OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF RUNS.

A 970S LOW IN THE BERING WILL MOVE NORTHWEST NEAR SAINT PAUL TODAY
AND DISSIPATE WED. A WEAK BUT EXPANSIVE WAVE STRETCHES FROM THE
BERING INTO SOUTHEAST ALASKA OFF THIS LOW BRINGING SOUTHERLY AND
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TO THE COAST. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING PRECIP
TO THE GULF COAST TODAY ESPECIALLY ON WINDWARD MOUNTAINS. WARMER
TEMPS AND DRIER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON DOWNSLOPING SIDE.

A FAIRLY TIGHT GRADIENT FROM THE AKPENN NORTHEAST INTO TURNAGAIN ARM
WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE ADVISORY AND GALE STRENGTH WINDS. OTHERWISE
BRISTOL BAY AND THE ALEUTIANS WILL SEE RAIN AND SHOWERS THROUGH
TOMORROW. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL BRING WARMER TEMPS TO BRISTOL BAY AND
THE Y-K DELTA. HOWEVER UPPER LEVELS SHOULD STAY COLD IN THE Y-K DELTA
WITH THE ARCTIC FRONT TO THE NORTH. AS THE MID LEVELS WARM WITH THE
OVERRUNNING THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT BETHEL WILL SEE SOME FREEZING
DRIZZLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IN THE EXTENDED A LOW WILL MOVE TO SOUTH OF SHEMYA ON WEDNESDAY
BRINGING GALES TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. ANOTHER LOW WILL REMAIN
SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA BUT BRING PRECIP AND WINDY CONDITIONS TO
THE GULF COAST.
