AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
400 AM ADT MON MAR 26 2007
.DISCUSSION...
MODELS CONTINUING TO HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY RESOLVING DYNAMIC LOW
ENTERING THE CENTRAL GULF THIS MORNING. MAIN DIFFERENCES ARISE IN
HANDLING OF MULTIPLE VORTICES DEVELOPING AND DISSIPATING AROUND MAIN
UPPER LOW ONCE IT STALLS OVER THE EASTERN GULF. THOSE DIFFERENCES
WILL PLAY A LARGER ROLE FOR JUNEAU AS OUR FORECAST DOMAIN WILL BE ON
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY WHERE NORTHERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST REGARDLESS OF
WHICH MODEL WE CHOOSE. ALL OTHER MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES ARE
REPRESENTED WELL...INCLUDING A VERY DEEP LOW DEVELOPING SOUTHWEST OF
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AT 60 HOURS. GFS WAS THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR
THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.
UPPER LEVELS...UPPER LOW CROSSED THE ALASKA PENINSULA EARLIER THIS
MORNING AND IS NOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND. THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE
EAST AND BECOME A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW. ONCE THIS HAPPENS IT WILL
WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY MOVE INLAND BY LATE IN THE WEEK. AN IMPRESSIVE
RIDGE IS BUILDING OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THIS MORNING AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD UNTIL IT STALLS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA
MID TO LATE IN THE WEEK. A WEAK TROUGH ROTATES THROUGH THE BERING SEA
MID WEEK AND THEN A VIGOROUS UPPER LOW SETS UP SHOP OVER THE WESTERN
BERING SEA LATE IN THE WEEK.
SOUTH CENTRAL SURFACE...A QUICK POSTMORTEM FROM MONDAYS STORM...LOW
SEEMED TO CROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA OVER SHELIKOF STRAIT AND THEN
NORTHEAST OVER SHUYAK ISLAND AS IT DEVELOPED TRIPLE POINT JUST EAST
OF THE BARREN ISLANDS. LOWEST PRESSURE I CAN FIND IS 996 MB AT 19Z.
HERE THE LOW STALLED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON UNTIL THE UPPER LOW COULD
CATCH UP WHICH HELPED USHER THE LOW EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN GULF.
3 HOUR PRESSURE DROPS WERE A GOOD INDICATOR OF WHERE TRIPLE POINT WAS
DEVELOPING. PRECIPITATION NOT AS HEAVY OR WIDESPREAD AS MODELS HAD
INDICATED...EVEN 12 HOURS OUT. GFS OUT-PERFORMED NAM EVEN WITH
INTERACTION WITH COMPLEX TERRAIN.
1002 MB LOW NOW MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF OUR FORECAST DOMAIN AS
NORTHERLY FLOW WITH NEUTRAL TEMPERATURE ADVECTION SETS UP OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BEGINNING THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME
WARMING EXPECTED AT LOWER LEVELS LEADING TO TEMPERATURES THAT ARE AT
LEAST CLOSER TO SEASONAL AVERAGES...HIGHS IN THE 30S AND LOWS NEAR
20...BRINGING AN END OUR STREAK OF 51 STRAIGHT DAYS IN ANCHORAGE OF
TEMPERATURES 32 DEGREES OR LOWER. SUNNY SKIES AND WARMER TEMPERATURES
WILL PERSIST THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK IF NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.
SURFACE WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG THE
COAST FINALLY WINDING DOWN EARLY THIS MORNING. ANTICIPATE THAT TREND
WILL CONTINUE FOR ZONE 181 AS UPPER TROF SWINGS THROUGH AND RIDGE
BUILDS QUICKLY TO THE WEST. ST PAUL ALREADY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
THE HIGH PRESSURE AS WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED BELOW 10 KTS AND
TEMPERATURES ARE DROPPING RAPIDLY. WITH THE ICE EDGE ACTUALLY SOUTH
OF ST PAUL...COULD SEE NEAR RECORD COLD TEMPERATURE THIS MORNING BUT
AGAIN QUICKLY WARMING UP AS WINDS TURN SOUTHEASTERLY AND CLOUDS
RETURN BY TONIGHT. OVER THE INTERIOR...HARD PRESSED TO SEE ANY MORE
RECORD COLD TEMPERATURES BUT WITH WARMER AIR ALOFT AND CLEAR
SKIES...CAN EXPECT TO SEE 30 TO 35 DEGREE DIURNAL RANGES OVER THE
INTERIOR THIS WEEK.
