AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT SUN JUN 10 2007

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
A SKINNY RIDGE STRETCHES ACROSS ALASKA FROM KOTZEBUE SOUTHEAST TO
MIDDLETON ISLAND. A WEAK TROUGH IS DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA
BUT IS PRODUCING VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION. A SMALL
CLOSED LOW OVER EASTERN ALASKA IS MOVING SOUTHWEST AND PRODUCING
SOME SHOWERS...BUT NO LIGHTNING. THIS LOW WILL STALL OVER THE MIDDLE
OF THE STATE BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE (MAINLY
ALOFT) AND CYCLONIC FLOW SHOULD ALLOW SOME CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE COPPER AND SUSITNA ZONES...AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. HUMIDITIES WILL VERY LOW AGAIN OVER
THE COPPER RIVER VALLEY TODAY AS THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE WILL BEGIN
AT UPPER LEVELS AND ONLY SLOWLY WORK INTO THE LOWER LEVELS OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. BASICALLY PLEASANT LATE SPRING WEATHER FOR THE
MOST PART EARLY THIS WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY ABOVE NORMAL.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH AT LEAST DAY
TEN WITH RIDGES TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH OF ALASKA AND ABOVE NORMAL
HEIGHTS AND WEEK FLOW OVER THE STATE. THE STORM TRACK WILL REMAIN
WELL TO THE SOUTH OF THE STATE. SO THIS MEANS DIURNAL CONVECTIVE
SHOWERS...AND TEMPERATURES MOSTLY ABOVE NORMAL.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING 141.
