AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 PM ADT FRI OCT 6 2006

.DISCUSSION...
MODEL AGREEMENT IS A LITTLE BETTER TODAY BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RUNS. ETA AND UKMET WANT TO KEEP THE MAIN LOW
SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING NORTH INTO
BRISTOL BAY AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA WHILE THE GFS MOVE THE PARENT LOW
INTO BRISTOL BAY WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH ACROSS THE AK PEN. AT
THIS TIME, IT LOOKS LIKE THE ETA HAS THE BETTER SOLUTION WITH THE
MAIN LOW REMAINING SOUTH OF THE AK PEN THOUGH A MINOR LOW MAY DEVELOP
OVER BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT.

UPPER AIR...
THE MAIN UPPER LOW NEAR THE BERING STRAIT WILL DRIFT INTO THE
NORTHERN BERING SEA SUNDAY. AN UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH AND
SOUTHWEST FROM THE UPPER LOW WILL SWING EAST INTO SOUTHEAST BERING
SEA SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. A STRONG UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD INTO
SOUTHEAST ALASKA AND ALONG THE ALCAN BORDER TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
THIS WILL PUT MAINLAND ALASKA UNDER A STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WHICH
WILL MODERATE TEMPERATURES OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH MONDAY.

A 300 MB JET DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN ALASKA SATURDAY NIGHT WILL
INTENSIFY AND SLIDE EAST INTO THE WESTERN GULF, KENAI PENINSULA AND
THE SUSITNA VALLEY MONDAY. VERY STRONG WINDS WILL DEVELOP WILL
DEVELOP THROUGH THE GAPS IN THE KENAI AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS BEGINNING
MONDAY.

AT THE SURFACE...
THE SHARP TROUGH EXTENDING NORTH FROM THE LOW SOUTHWEST OF COLD BAY
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH MONDAY. STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION COMING
UP THROUGH THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL COLLIDE WILL A STATIONARY COLD AIR
MASS OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA. AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL SET UP OVER
KUSKOKWIM BAY AND ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM MOUNTAIN TONIGHT AND SATURDAY
AND WILL PUSHED WESTWARD TOWARD THE COAST BY SUNDAY.

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA WILL BUILD
INTO WESTERN CANADA THROUGH SUNDAY. A SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE GULF OF
ALASKA WILL SPREAD INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA TONIGHT AND WILL PERSIST
THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

A WEAK LOW NEAR SHEMYA WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC
TONIGHT. NORTHERLY FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE BERING SEA SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.
