Area forecast discussion, Nov 22, 12:00 AM AKST, 2 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AST TUE NOV 22 2005

.DISCUSSION...
THE PERSISTANT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER WESTERN ALASKA THAT HAS BEEN
PULLING MULTIPLE LOWS INTO THE GULF HAS STARTED TO GRADUALLY MOVE
EAST. THE NEXT SYSTEM...PRESENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 700 MILES SOUTH OF
KODIAK...IS MOVING QUICKLY TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF COAST AND IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE INLAND LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH THE UPPER LOW ABOVE
WESTERN ALASKA AND A SMALL PRESSURE GRADIENT AT THE SURFACE LIGHT
WINDS OVER WESTERN ALASKA HAS ALLOWED LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TO DEVELOP.
A HIGH OVER EASTERN RUSSIA HAS KEPT NORTH FLOW WITH EMBEDDED SNOW
SHOWERS OVER THE BERING.

THE GFS MODEL SOLUTION SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF SYSTEMS HEADED OUR WAY. LOOKS LIKE THE PRESENT LOW WILL
MOVE INLAND THROUGH PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL
AFFECT THE COASTAL AND MOUNTAIN AREAS TODAY. THIS TRAJECTORY IS A
FAVORED PATTERN FOR SNOW TO WRAP AROUND THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS AND
FALL ON MATSU AND ANCHORAGE AREAS...OCCURING LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
AS THE UPPER TROUGH IS BEING PUSHED TO THE EAST...THE NEXT SYSTEM
MOVING UP INTO THEESDAY NIGHT WILL HAVE ITS TRACK AND AREA
OF PRECIPITATION A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE EAST AS WELL. WITH TWO
SYSTEMS BACK TO BACK...STRONG COLD ADVECTION FROM THE NORTH AROUND
THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOWS WILL INTERACT WITH WARM AIR OVER THE GULF
TO FORM ANOTHER LOW NEAR PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THIS WILL PROVIDE
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND EAST WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

IN THMAIN...THE LONG TIME NORTH FLOW PATTERN SEEN FOR THE
LAST COUPLE WEEKS WILL BE CHANGING. A LOW OVER THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA MOVING EAST WILL BRING A FRONT OVER THE FAR WESTERN
ALEUTIAN ISLANDS STARTING THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING GALES AND STORMS
TO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RAIN AND
WARM ADVECTION FOG WILL MOVE INTO THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA DURING
THE SAME PERIOD.
