Area forecast discussion, Jan 6, 12:00 PM AKST, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 500 PM AST FRI JAN 6 2006 .DISCUSSION... THIS MORNINGS MODELS HAVE VERY SIMILAR SOLUTION. ANCHORAGE AND JUNEAU WILL GO WITH THE ETA MODEL OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA AND THE WEST DOMAIN WILL USE THE GFS. CURRENT SATELLITE PICTURES SHOW A WEAKENING FRONT OVER THE COOK INLET, THE SOUTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY AND KODIAK ISLAND MOVING WEST. SCATTERED SHOWERS COVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. UPPER AIR...THE 300 MB SUBTROPICAL JET WILL REMAIN MOSTLY SOUTH OF 50N. A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BERING SEA WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. A WEAKER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL DISSIPATE TONIGHT AS AN UPPER RIDGE PASSES JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA. AT THE SURFACE. THE STORM SYSTEMS WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE PACIFIC ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF 50N LATITUDE THEN VEER NORTHEAST INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE FELT ALONG ALEUTIANS, THE ALASKA PENINSULA, THE IMMEDIATE GULF COAST AND KODIAK ISLAND. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...SEE MARINE FORECAST. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. NM JAN 06
