Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 12:00 AM AKDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT WED MAR 28 2007
.DISCUSSION...LOW PRESSURE CENTERS IN THE WESTERN BERING AND GULF OF
ALASKA WILL PERSIST IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER BRISTOL BAY WILL SLOWLY BUILD EAST
KEEPING MOST OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA CLEAR WITH
CONTINUED BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGE TEMPS.
A WEAK SFC LOW IN THE GULF WILL HELP TO MAINTAIN A MODERATELY TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER DELTA FOR THE NEXT TWO
DAYS. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH AS THE LOW WEAKENS AND UPPER SUPPORT
DISAPPEARS AS RIDGING ALOFT TAKES OVER.
A PARADE OF DEEPENING LOWS WILL ARRIVE IN THE VICINITY OF THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS BEGINNING THURSDAY BRINGING STORM FORCE WINDS AND ABUNDANT
MOISTURE. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN HOISTED FOR THESE ISLANDS AS
WINDS GET CRANKING TO 70KTS+ EARLY THU WITH THE APPROACHING SYSTEM.
ANOTHER LOW TAKES A SIMILAR PATH A COUPLE DAYS LATER WITH COMPARABLE
INTENSITY. FRONTS ARCHING NE FROM THESE LOWS WILL BE SHUNTED NORTH
THUS MISSING ALL BUT COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF MAINLAND ALASKA AS THE
SFC RIDGE HOLDS FIRM. THE ONE THING THESE FRONTS WILL DO IS PUSH THE
ICE EDGE NORTH. PERSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW EXPECTED THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WILL HAVE THE ICE RETREATING FAIRLY QUICKLY...BUT AS
ALWAYS...REFER TO THE ICE FORECAST FOR SPECIFICS.
