NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
327 PM AST THU JAN 5 2006

.DISCUSSION...
THE TROUGH ALOFT THAT LIES FROM THE CHUKOTSK PENINSULA TO
NUNIVAK ISLAND HAS PROBABLY GOTTEN ABOUT AS FAR EAST AS IT IS
GOING TO ANYTIME SOON...AND IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT BACK WEST.
THE RIDGE ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR IS WEAKENING AND
HEADED EAST. THUS...THE ALREADY MODEST SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT
OVER NORTHERN ALASKA IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH. THE SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES ALOFT MOVING NORTHWARD OVER OUR WEST COAST AND
WESTERN ARCTIC ZONES IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE NEVERTHELESS...
AS WILL EVEN WEAKER ONES OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR.

THE WEAKENING OF THE RIDGE ALOFT WILL ALLOW A TROUGH ALOFT
OVER THE HIGH ARCTIC TO MOVE SOUTHWARD TOWARD OUR ARCTIC COAST.
WE STILL DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF A HANDLE ON THIS ONE...BUT THE
MODELS ALL WEAKEN IT SUBSTANTIALLY BEFORE IT REACHES THE
ARCTIC COAST ON SUNDAY.
