AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
410 AM AST SUN JAN 7 2007

.DISCUSSION...

...SUMMARY...
THIS MORNING...LOW PRESSURE IS PRESENT OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF
ALASKA WITH ANOTHER MUCH LARGER LOW OUT WEST TOWARD THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS SANDWICHED IN BETWEEN. A WEAK
LOW PRESSURE IS PUNCHING THROUGH THE RIDGE IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA
THIS MORNING. GENERALLY QUIET AND VERY COLD WEATHER IS PRESENT OVER
THE MAINLAND THIS MORNING. THE WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN
BERING IS BRINGING SOME SNOW SHOWERS AND FAIRLY GUSTY WINDS FROM THE
FAR EASTERN ALEUTIANS TO PORTIONS OF THE BRISTOL BAY COAST. THE BIG
WEATHER MAKER...HOWEVER...IS A VERY STRONG FRONT OVER THE
CENTRAL/WESTERN BERING AND ALEUTIANS TODAY MOVING WELL OUT AHEAD OF
THE PARENT LOW OFF THE SOUTH TIP OF THE KAMCHATKA. HEAVY SNOW/RAIN
CHANGING TO RAIN...ALONG WITH VERY STRONG WINDS...ARE PRESENT WITH
THIS FRONT.

THE FRONT OVER THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS INDICATES THE ONSET TO A
MAJOR PATTERN CHANGE ACROSS THE WHOLE STATE. AS THIS FRONT MOVES EAST
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...IT WILL BRING A MUCH WARMER AIRMASS TO THE
ENTIRE REGION. THE PARENT UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN OUT TOWARD
KAMCHATKA...WITH A RIDGE OVER EASTERN ALASKA. THIS MEANS WARM AND
VERY MOIST SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH FLOW SETTING UP OVER THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA BY LATE WEDNESDAY.

...MODELS...
MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT AND HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THE
SIGNIFICANT FEATURES...INCLUDING THE MAJOR FRONT PROGRESSING EAST
THROUGH THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS. THUS...THERE IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST WE ARE PUTTING OUT THIS MORNING. MAIN
CHALLENGE WILL BE PRECIPITATION TYPE...AS RAIN VS SNOW AND CHANGEOVER
WILL BE AN ISSUE FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

...SOUTHCENTRAL FORECAST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEAST GULF IS BRINGING SOME SNOW
SHOWERS AROUND CORDOVA TODAY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE BY TONIGHT
AS THE LOW DISSIPATES AS IT MOVES EAST. OVERALL...A QUIET DAY IS IN
STORE TODAY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL...WITH DRY AND VERY COLD OFFSHORE FLOW.
LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH GAPS IN THE TERRAIN. VERY
SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY. MANY AREAS WILL SEE THEIR
FIRST REAL SUNSHINE IN A WHILE FOR TODAY AND TUESDAY. THE BIG CHANGES
THEN ENSUE BEGINNING WEDNESDAY AS THE FLOW SWITCHES TO ONSHORE AND
THE FIRST IN A LIKELY BARRAGE OF SYSTEMS MOVES IN. EXPECT MILD
TEMPERATURES AND PERIODS OF SNOW...MIXED WITH RAIN AT TIMES OVER
COASTAL AREAS...FROM WEDNESDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY LONGER.

...SOUTHWEST MAINLAND FORECAST...
GENERALLY QUIET AND VERY COLD WEATHER TO PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING WITH SOME LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE COAST AND AREAS OF ICE FOG. AN
EXCEPTION IS A WEAK SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE...BRINGING A
QUICK SHOT OF SNOW THIS MORNING TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE BIG
CHANGES ENSUE BEGINNING TUESDAY AFTERNOON...AS THE STRONG FRONT
MARCHING ACROSS THE BERING BEGINS TO BRING SNOW AND STRONG WIND TO
THE WEST COAST. THE PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD INLAND TO MCGRATH BY
MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. EXPECT A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOW WITH THE FRONT
ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES RISING SIGNIFICANTLY. RAIN COULD EVEN MIX IN
TOWARD LATE WEDNESDAY ALONG PORTIONS OF THE COAST. WINDS WILL BE
QUITE STRONG...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE COAST...AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
ARE CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY. UNSETTLED WEATHER AND MILD TEMPERATURES
TO CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

...BERING SEA/ALEUTIAN FORECAST...
A STRONG FRONT IS BRINGING HIGH WINDS AND SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN
ACROSS THE WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND BERING TODAY. THIS FRONT
WILL MARCH EAST TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS/BERING TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
ONCE THIS FRONT MOVES THROUGH...EXPECT MILD TEMPERATURES WITH
UNSETTLED SOUTHWEST FLOW AND PERIODS OF SNOW AND RAIN THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND.
