AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
631 AM ADT SUN SEP 2 2007

CORRECTED WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...BROAD UPPER LEVEL PATTERN THIS MORNING
IS CHARACTERIZED BY WEAK RIDGING OVER EASTERN AND CENTRAL ALASKA WITH
A DEEP TROUGH OVER THE BERING SEA. MOVING INTO THE BASE OF THIS
TROUGH IS AN UPPER LOW THAT IS ENGENDERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SURFACE LOW OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THIS SYSTEM HAS BROUGHT
CONSIDERABLE RAIN TO PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS OVERNIGHT AND
PROMISES TO BRING MORE PRECIP AS IT MOVES EAST ALONG THE ALEUTIANS
CHAIN AND AKPEN. CONDITIONS ELSEWHERE HAVE GENERALLY BEEN QUIET
OVERNIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND WESTERN ALASKA.
THESE LIGHT WINDS...COUPLED WITH AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAVE ALLOW
FOR AREAS OF FOG TO FORM DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ACROSS THE
COPPER RIVER BASIN AS WELL AS AROUND KING SALMON. LOWER CEILINGS
OVERNIGHT APPEAR TO HAVE KEPT CONDITIONS JUST WARM ENOUGH AND
DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS JUST LARGE ENOUGH TO PREVENT FOG FORMATION IN
THE COOK INLET REGION AND SUSITNA VALLEY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODEL CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN THIS
MORNING AS ALL OF THE MAJOR MODELS INTENSIFY THE LOW IN THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS AND BRING ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND ALONG THE ALASKA
PENINSULA MONDAY. THERE CONTINUE TO BE SUBTLE VARIATIONS IN THE TRACK
FORECAST WITH THE NAM CONTINUING TO BE SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH OF THE
AKPEN WHILE THE GFS/UKMET/ECMWF KEEP THE TRACK ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF
THE AKPEN. THE GFS IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR THE GRIDS THIS MORNING
GIVEN ITS VERY STRONG RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY AND AGREEMENT WITH THE
UKMET AND ECMWF MODELS. THE GFS BRINGS ANOTHER LOW INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA THURSDAY NIGHT. CONFIDENCE IN THIS FEATURE IN THE EXTENDED
PERIODS IS NOT AS STRONG DUE TO LARGE SPREAD IN GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
ALONG WITH LACK OF AGREEMENT WITH THE ECMWF...THUS AM ONLY NUDGING
CURRENT GRIDS TOWARDS THIS SOLUTION FOR NOW. IN THE WEST THERE IS
BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A LARGE UPPER/SURFACE LOW IN
THE BERING SEA BY NEXT SATURDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...EXPECT CLOUDY WEATHER
WITH A FEW SHOWERS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE COOK INLET REGION AS THE
AREA STAYS UNDER SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE RIDGING
OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A
POSSIBILITY ALONG THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON WITH A POTENTIAL FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WHERE THERE IS A
WEAK THETA-E RIDGE IN PLACE. AREAS OF FOG WILL ONCE AGAIN BE A
POSSIBILITY TONIGHT...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AS
THE UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE RIDGES REMAIN OVERHEAD AND FLOW STAYS
VERY LIGHT AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL POOL. A BRIEF PERIOD OF
CLEARING AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR A NICE DAY ON
MONDAY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF KODIAK WHERE THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
ISLAND BY THE AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE LOW. THIS FRONT WILL ALSO BRING
GALES TO THE WESTERN GULF AS WELL AS KENNEDY ENTRANCE MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT MOVES ONSHORE ALONG THE NORTH
GULF COAST BY TUESDAY MORNING SPREADING PLENTY OF RAIN ALONG THE
COAST ACROSS THE USUALLY WET AREAS WHILE THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND MATSU
WILL LIKELY STAY RELATIVELY DRY UNDER EASTERLY FLOW. AS THE LOW MOVES
ONSHORE ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND DISSIPATES OVER THE INTERIOR LOOK FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA...THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS TODAY AND INTO THE AKPEN TONIGHT SPREADING
RAIN AND WIND WITH GALES OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND AKPEN WATERS
AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY TODAY THOUGH THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE OUT OF THE
PICTURE TODAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT TRIGGERED THE
THUNDERSTORMS YESTERDAY HAS LIFTED OUT OF THE AREA. THE FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SPREADS RAIN ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION
WITH SHOWERS ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY BY MONDAY MORNING WHILE
ANOTHER DISTURBANCE DROPS ACROSS THE BERING SEA FROM EASTERN SIBERIA
IN NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BETWEEN THE MAIN LOW AND A RIDGE CENTERED WEST
OF THE ALEUTIANS. THIS DISTURBANCE SEEMS TO BE WELL HANDLED BY THE
GFS AND MAY BRING RAIN TO THE PRIBILOFS AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS TUESDAY
AND AKPEN ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE BEING ABSORBED BY THE BROAD LOW OVER
CENTRAL ALASKA. ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPS WEST OF THE ALEUTIANS TUESDAY IN
WHAT BECOMES A VERY PROGRESSIVE PATTERN AND SHOULD START TO IMPACT
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WITH RAIN BY TUESDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...A BROAD LOW BECOMES ESTABLISHED OVER THE BERING
SEA BY WEDNESDAY WITH RAIN SPREADING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
ALEUTIANS...PRIBILOFS...AND AKPEN THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THE
REMNANTS OF THE UPPER LOW OVER CENTRAL ALASKA COMBINED WITH ONSHORE
FLOW SHOULD KEEP SKIES MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND THE
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS THE GENERAL RULE. THE NEXT
BIG LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE BERING SEA IS
CURRENTLY FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE EASTERN BERING SWEEPING A BROAD
FRONT/RAIN SHIELD ACROSS MAINLAND SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THEN
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN
THE WAKE OF THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM COULD SIGNAL THE FINAL END OF
SUMMER...HOWEVER GIVEN HOW FAR OUT THAT IS...BROAD AREAS OF CHANCE
POPS ARE THE RULE FOR NOW.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALES 130 132 138 150 155 160 165 170 171 172.
