Area forecast discussion, Feb 20, 11:20 AM AKST, 11 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
420 PM AST TUE FEB 20 2007

.DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE GULF THROUGH
THURSDAY BUT I PREFER THE GFS SOLUTION AND KEEP A STRONGER TROUGH
OVER THE NORTHERN GULF THURSDAY. THE MODELS HAVE DIVERGENT SOLUTIONS
FOR THE LOW DEVELOPING NEAR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THE GFS POSITION
LOOKS GOOD BUT APPEARS TOO DEEP BY THU AFTERNOON, SO WE WEAKENED IT 6
TO 10 MB.

UPPER AIR...
THE UPPER LOW OVER EASTERN BEAUFORT SEA WILL DRIFT IN THE NORTHERN
YUKON TERRITORY THURSDAY. A RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING SEA WILL
BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY OVER EASTERN BERING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
THE NORTHERLY FLOW PRODUCED BY THIS PATTERN WILL KEEP MOST OF THE
SOUTHERN MAINLAND DRY AND COLD FOR ANOTHER 2-3 DAYS.

EAST DOMAIN...
A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST AND KODIAK
ISLAND HAD PRODUCED LOCALLY STRONG GAP WINDS OUT OF THE IN THE
CHUGACH AND KENAI MOUNTAINS AND THE ALEUTIAN RANGE. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH TONIGHT AND SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. AREAS OF LOW WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE
WINDIER AREAS ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ALASKA RANGE. OTHERWISE,
CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN CLEAR AND COLD FOR A FEW MORE DAYS.

WEST DOMAIN...
MOST OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WILL REMAIN CLEAR AND COLD LIKE THE
EAST DOMAIN.

A STRONG WEATHER FRONT OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA WILL WEAKEN AS IT
MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL BERING WEDNESDAY AND WILL DISSIPATE OVER THE
EASTERN BERING THURSDAY. GALE FORCE WINDS OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TONIGHT AND WILL WEAKEN TO
SMALL CRAFTS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS
WEDNESDAY.

A 1000 MB LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS ALONG THE FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS LATE WEDNESDAY THEN MOVE EAST AND
DEEPEN TO 993 MB THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

A 1002 MB LOW DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WEDNESDAY
WILL MOVE TO 130 NM SOUTH OF ATTU WITH A 1005 CENTER THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.
