AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 350 PM AST SAT NOV 17 2007 ...UPDATED FOR AFTERNOON PACKAGE... RATHER STRONG GULF LOW AND ASSOCIATED GALES FORECAST BY GFS, WHICH IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE, TO WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS NNW TO THE SOUTH END OF MONTAGUE ISLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW COMBINED WITH SLOW MOVING UPPER TROF ALONG WRN AK RNG AND...MOISTURE FEED FROM THE GULF LOW TO GIVE PERIODS OF SNOW NORTHERN COOK INLET/TURNAGAIN ARM AT LEAST THROUGH MID DAY SUNDAY. GREATEST THREAT OF SNOW IN THE SUSITNA VALLEY APPEARS TO BE ALONG AND WEST OF THE PARKS HWY. NORTH WINDS HAVE GUSTED TO 50 MPH AT SEWARD THIS MORNING WHILE WHITTIER WINDS ARE WESTERLY 25G45 MPH. THESE CONDITIONS WILL TREND DOWNWARD THIS EVENING AND SHOULD DROP OFF DRAMATICALLY SAT NIGHT. ALASKA PENINSULA WINDS DIMINISHING FROM THE WEST TODAY AS WEAK SURFACE RIDGE DEVELOPS AND PROGRESSES TO 158W SATURDAY EVENING. KODIAK ISLAND STAYS BREEZY THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A RISK OF A SNOW SHOWER OR 2 NORTHEAST PORTION. GOES WEST IR SHOWS NEXT BERING FRONTAL SYSTEM DRIVING EASTWARD AND SPLITTING WITH THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE STAYING ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE GREATER DUTCH HARBOR AREA AND ALASKA PENINSULA. LIGHT SNOW MAKES IT TO NUNIVAK ISLAND THIS EVENING.

GOOD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM WESTERN ALEUTIANS NORTH TO THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST TONIGHT AND SUN. THIS WILL DRIVE ANOTHER PRETTY GOOD SHOT OF COLD AIR IN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST BERING AND PRIBILOFS FOR SNOW AND SNOW SHOWERS. WINDS SHOULD BE UP ENOUGH FOR SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES. IN THE LONGER RANGE...SOUTHEAST GALES COME BACK TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS MONDAY MORNING. WEAK LOW ON THE KENAI PEN GIVES PERIODS OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THE NORTH GULF COAST AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THIS IS USUALLY A DRY PATTERN FOR THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WITH POSSIBLE UPSLOPE MOISTURE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ALASKA RANGE. MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR HOLDS ACROSS NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM RIVER VALLEY. INTENSE STORM CENTERED 50N 155W MONDAY EVENING TO SPREAD A HEAVY RAIN AND WIND CONDITION TO KODIAK AND THE WEST SIDE OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. RIGHT NOW THAT LOW IS FCST TO MOVE TO KODIAK TUE AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MODEL CONFIDENCE AS TO WHERE THE STORM WILL MAKE ITS TURN TO THE NORTH. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE AREAS 120 121 130 132 150 176 185 351 411 412 413.
