NORTH ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
600 AM ADT SAT SEP 24 2005

.DISCUSSION...

THE BERING SEA LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN AROUND SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND
WITH A PRESSURE THAT HAS RISEN TO 975 MB. LITTLE MOVEMENT IS
EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM AS A TROUGH AT 500 MB REMAINS OVER THE
BERING SEA THROUGH THE WEEK. AS THE SURFACE LOW WEAKENS TO 990 MB
BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON...RAIN OVER THE WEST COAST ZONES WILL BECOME
MORE SCATTERED.

A WAVE ALONG THE OCCLUDED FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW HAS
SPREAD RAIN NORTH ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE AND INTERIOR THIS
MORNING. THIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY AS SOUTHWEST
FLOW IN THE MID-LEVELS PROVIDES THE MOISTURE FEED.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE HIGH ARCTIC COMBINED WITH THE BERING SEA
LOW AND WEAKENING OCCLUSIONS MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE BROOKS RANGE
WILL KEEP EAST WINDS IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE INTO THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK. AREAS OF FOG AND LOW CLOUDS ARE LIKELY WITH ONLY A
FEW SHOWERS OF RAIN OR SNOW FROM TIME TO TIME.

AS THE WAVE MOVES INTO CANADA AND WEAKENS...SLIGHT RIDGING WILL
BUILD INTO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
EARLY NEXT WEEK ANOTHER LOW ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH BUT WILL
BE MUCH FURTHER TO THE EAST THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE. THIS WILL HELP
AMPLIFY THE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE AND PROVIDE A
CHINOOK FLOW BY TUESDAY. AS THE LOW MOVES EAST THROUGH THE GULF OF
ALASKA...IT WILL HELP PULL COLD AIR WEST ACROSS THE ARCTIC SLOPE.
THIS WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE INTERIOR LATE NEXT WEEK.
