Area forecast discussion, Apr 10, 9:00 AM AKDT, 2 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 PM ADT MON APR 10 2006 .DISCUSSION... GFS HAS INITIALIZED BETTER THIS MORNING WITH THE LOW OVER THE BERING SEA AND WITH THE MOISTURE PARAMETERS. ALSO BELIEVE GFS WILL HANDLE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC BETTER AND ITS TRANSITION FROM BRISTOL BAY INTO THE GULF WEDNESDAY. UPPER LEVELS...LARGE LOW IN NORTHWEST BERING SEA WITH A WAVE MOVING TO THE WEST COAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE WAVE TO MOVE ACROSS THE MAINLAND TONIGHT. A SHORT WAVE RIDGE WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THIS WAVE OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT AND INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TOMORROW. LARGE LOW TO START SWINGING SOUTH AND EAST TOMORROW AS A STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVES OUT OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIAN CHAIN. THE WAVE CONTINUES INTO THE GULF TUESDAY NIGHT AS A VORT MAX MOVES INTO THE LARGE BERING SEA LOW MOVES EAST AS A VORT MAX ROTATES AROUND THE LOW AND ACTS TO PULL IT EAST WEDNESDAY AND DROPS INTO THE GULF THURSDAY. RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA WITH A FLAT NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE BERING SEA. LOW CONTINUES TO DIG IN THE GULF AS RIDGE AMPLIFIES OVER THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING INTO SATURDAY. SURFACE WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...LOW IN NORTHWEST BERING UNDERNEATH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. MODERATE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE BERING UNDERNEATH THIS LOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. MODELS HAVE NOT PICKED UP THE EXACT STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM BUT GFS HAS THE BEST HANDLE. FRONT WEAKENS AS IT RUNS TO THE COAST THIS EVENING. THIS IS DUE TO IT RUNNING INTO HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE OVER THE AREA. LOW OVER THE WESTERN BERING WEAKENS OVER THE NEXT DAY WHILE A STRONG LOW MOVES OUT OF THE NORTH PACIFIC TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIAN CHAIN TONIGHT. GALE FORCE WINDS AND MODERATE AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION TO ACCOMPANY THIS LOW. THE LOW MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST BERING SEA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TOWARD THE AKPEN TUESDAY NIGHT. MODERATE PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE INTO BRISTOL BAY DURING THIS TIME AND TO NEAR BETHEL AS WELL. AS THE LOW CROSSES THE ALEUTIAN MOUNTAINS WEDNESDAY...PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD TO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND SOUTHERN VALLEY. THE LOW ALSO HAS GOOD UPPER LEVEL JET SUPPORT...SO IT SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS IT WRAPS WITH SOME COLDER AIR INTO WEDNESDAY. BY THIS TIME THE LOW HAS MOVED INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA. THE COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE SYSTEM WILL BRING STRONG TO VERY STRONG WINDS TO THE AKPEN WEST TO NEAR UNALASKA. WILL MOST LIKELY SEE STORM FORCE WINDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY ALONG THESE AREAS WITH POSSIBLE WIND WARNINGS AS WELL. COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY AS THE NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE BERING AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA WITH THE LOW CARVING OUT IN THE GULF. WOULD EXPECT SHOWER ACTIVITY TO PERSIST OVER THE EASTERN BERING AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA DURING THIS TIME. RIDGE AND WARMING TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN BERING. SURFACE EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL THIS AFTERNOON WITH SHOWER ACTIVITY TO GIVE WAY TO HIGH PRESSURE TONIGHT. WILL SEE A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO MOVE THROUGH AND REDEVELOP MORE SHOWERS OVERNIGHT IN SOUTH CENTRAL. EVERYTHING CLEARS OUT THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW WITH HIGH PRESSURE PASSING OVERHEAD. A FRONT FROM THE DEVELOPING LOW IN BRISTOL BAY TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL PUSH THROUGH KODIAK. THIS FRONT TO MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST BY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW STARTS TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GULF. THE LOW DEEPENS OVER THE GULF AS COLD AIR WRAPS INTO IT. GOOD GRADIENT COMBINED WITH THE COLD AIR ADVECTION...WILL MAKE FOR STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS OVER THE WESTERN GULF. THE LOW REMAINS OVER THE GULF THROUGH FRIDAY BUT SLOWLY MOVES EAST. WINDS WILL REMAIN GALE FORCE OVER THE WESTERN GULF FROM THE BARREN ISLANDS SOUTH. WILL NEED TO THINK ABOUT WIND WARNING OVER KODIAK ISLAND THURSDAY. MAY NEED STORM FORCE WINDS IN SHELIKOF AS WELL DURING THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION AND THE LOW IN THE CENTRAL GULF THURSDAY AS WELL. MODERATE TO HEAVY PRECIPITATION TO REMAIN MAINLY ALONG THE COASTAL LOCATIONS AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE SUSITNA VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. AS THE LOW PULLS OFF TO THE EAST PRECIPITATION WILL WANE FRIDAY. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...NONE FIRE WEATHER...NONE JN APR 06
