.DISCUSSION...GFS MODEL WITH SOME MODIFICATION WILL BE USED FOR
AFTERNOON PACKAGES.

UPPER AIR...NOT MUCH CHANGE FOR EARLIER DISCUSSIONS. UPPER CENTER
OVER THE GULF SHOULD START TO SHIFT EAST AS LOW AMPLITUDE RIDGE MOVES
INTO THE GULF ON TUE. SIGNIFICANT SHORT WAVE MOVES TO JUST SOUTH OF
THE WESTERN AK PEN TUE THEN TO THE WESTERN GULF EARLY WED MORNING.
LOW CENTER OVER THE POLE TODAY MOVES TO OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA LATE WED
NIGHT AND SETS UP SW FLOW OVER THE MAINLAND.

TRIPLE POINT FORMS SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR TUE MORNING...BUT NOT LIKELY
TO DO MUCH AS NEXT MAJOR LOW DEVELOPS ALONG THE SW TRAILING COLD
FRONT.

THE NORTH PACIFIC WEST OF 160W IS FAIRLY ACTIVE AND WILL THE SPAWNING

UPPER TROUGH DIGGING OVER THIS REGION AND SETUP OF STRONG W-SW JET
LIKELY TO GENERATE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CENTER ALONG THE FRONTAL ZONE
EXTENDING ACROSS THE REGION. LOW CENTER IS FORECAST MOVE TO SOUTH THE
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND DROP INTO THE 960S BY TUE AFTERNOON. CENTER
IS THEN FORECAST TO MOVE NORTH OF MIDDLETON ISLAND WED AND HOLD IN
THE 960S. GFS HAS SHOWN A SHIFT TO A MORE WEST TRACK ON 12Z RUN. FEEL
AT THIS POINT THE SOLUTION LOOKS REASONABLE. WILL NUDGE CURRENT
GRIDS/FORECAST TOWARD THIS SOLUTION. IF ALL PANS OUT...THEN SHOULD
SEE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS...MIXED PRECIPITATION...AND WARMING
FOR THE GULF AND SURROUNDING AREAS EARLY BY MIDWEEK. ALTHOUGH
PRECIPITATION LIKELY TO BE MIXED OVER THE GULF...SNOW WILL BE THE
GENERAL RULE FOR INLAND AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL.
