AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
147 PM PM ADT SAT APR 7 2007

.DISCUSSION...ONE SYSTEM WEAKENING AS IT SWINGS WNW ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THIS FEATURE RESULTED IN PRETTY GUSTY
WINDS, AS HIGH AS 60 MPH IN SOME AREAS BUT NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CAUSE
ANY PROBLEMS. THINGS STILL FAIRLY MILD WITH EARLY AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES AT OR NEAR THEIR NORMAL DAILY HIGH VALUES. SHOWERS AND
AREAS OF RAIN PERSISTING OVER THE USUAL UPSLOPE AREAS. DOWNSLOPE
AREAS SEEING A RATHER BEAUTIFUL DAY WITH PARTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS AND
REFRESHING ILD BREEZES.

GOES LOOP SHOWS CIRRUS FROM NEXT PACIFIC STORM ALREADY SPREADING
ACROSS BRISTOL BAY SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA. MODEL FORECASTS THE LOW
CENTER TO WEAKEN SLOWLY FROM ITS CURRENT 965 MB PRESSURE AS IT MOVES
NORTHWEST TO KODIAK BY SUNDAY EVENING. KODIAK FORECAST QUITE EASY
WITH RAIN BECOMING HEAVY AT TIMES ALONG WITH GUSTY EAST WINDS BY THIS
EVENING, CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. WINDS RAPIDLY DROP OFF
LATE SUNDAY MORNING AS LOW CENTER PASSES OVER BUT RAIN, FOG AND
GENERAL IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS CONTINUING TO SUNDAY EVENING OR LONGER AS
IT LOOKS RIGHT NOW AT THIS TIME.

FORECASTS PRETTY STRAIGHT FORWARD FOR THE GULF COAST AND SOUTHCENTRAL
TOO. AFTER A SHORT BREAK LATE THIS AFTERNOON RAIN TO SPREAD BACK IN
THROUGH OUT THE EVENING. HEAVIEST AMOUNTS AGAIN WESTERN PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND SOUTHEAST ALONG THE KENAI PENINSULA TO KODIAK ISLAND
AND ALSO WESTERN SUSITNA VLY/COOK INLET. GALES LIKELY TO DEVELOP
AGAIN THIS EVENING KODIAK ISLAND AND GULF COAST WITH A NARROW AREA OF
STORMS ALONG AND JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT IN THE GULF OFFSHORE
MARINE ZONE.

HIGHER PRESSURE MOVES IN THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK FOR SUNNIER/DRIER
