Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 10:00 AM AKST, 13 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
300 PM AST WED JAN 17 2007
.DISCUSSION...THE JET STREAM WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF ALASKA TODAY AS AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA PERSISTS INTO THE
WEEKEND. THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DIG SOUTHEASTWARD THIS WEEKEND AS
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA.
THE JET STREAM WILL RIDE NORTHWARD BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES AND
BRING A GOOD SHOT OF WARM AIR INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA FROM PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND EASTWARD.
AT THE SURFACE A COMPLEX 977 MB LOW IN THE CENTRAL ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS TOWARD NUNIVAK ISLANDS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. THE WEATHER FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW COMPLEX MOVES
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS TO NEAR NUNIVAK ISLAND AND IS
BRINGING SOME SNOW INTO THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THIS FRONT THEN BENDS
SOUTHEASTWARD BACK TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND THEN SOUTHWARD
WHERE ANOTHER LOW APPEARS TO BE DEVELOPING SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND.
THE INITIAL FORMATION AND EARLY MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW VARIES GREATLY
DEPENDING ON WHICH MODEL IS USED HOWEVER THE MODELS ALL SEEM TO DUMP
IT INTO THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME
THE UKMET INITIALIZATION LOOKS TO BE THE BEST OF THE GROUP.
.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 130 155 170 172 175 185.
HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY 185.
