AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
200 PM ADT WED APR 4 2007

.DISCUSSION...
A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA IS THE
DOMINANT FEATURE TODAY AND FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AN EXISTING FRONT
OVER THE GULF IS WEAKENING AS A STRONGER FRONT WITH THE LOW MOVES
INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER
SIBERIA WITH A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
BERING SEA.

MODELS ARE NOT INITIALIZED ALL THAT WELL ON THE POSITION OF THE LOW
CENTER AND ASSOCIATED FRONT SOUTH OF THE GULF THIS MORNING. BOTH
FEATURES ARE DEFINITELY FARTHER NORTH THAN THE MODELS ARE DEPICTING.
THIS WOULD MEAN THE FRONT MAKING ITS WAY FASTER NORTH FOR THE MOMENT.
IN THE UPPER LEVELS...MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. AFTER THAT TIME FRAME...SOME DIVERGENCE COMES OVER THE
PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE BERING SEA. THIS SAME SCENARIO
TRANSLATES TO THE SURFACE AS WELL.

UPPER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE IS SITUATED OVER SIBERIA WITH A LOW WEST
OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA...WHILE A LARGE LOW IS SOUTH OF THE GULF
OF ALASKA WITH ANOTHER CLOSED LOW OVER THE NORTON SOUND. THE LOW OVER
THE NORTON SOUND IS THE FAST MOVER AND ENDS UP OVER THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS THURSDAY AFTERNOON THEN SLOWLY DRIFTS SOUTH OF THE CHAIN
FRIDAY. IN THE MEANTIME...THE LOW IN THE GULF WRAPS UP AND DRIFTS
TOWARD THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS FRIDAY WHILE A STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH
ROTATING AROUND THIS LOW HEADS NORTH IN THE EASTERN GULF. THE TWO
LOWS WRAP AROUND EACH OTHER AND CONSOLIDATE OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING
SEA SUNDAY. THE FINAL SETUP THEN BY SUNDAY IS THAT A LARGE LOW IS
OVER THE SOUTHERN BERING WITH A TROUGH EXTENDED TO THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST FROM THE LOW. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS
OVER SIBERIA AND THE YUKON.

SURFACE WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...THE LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF COMBINED
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER SIBERIA MAKING FOR A DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT
OVER THE BERING SEA. THEREFORE...EXPECT SMALL CRAFT TO GALE ACROSS
THE BERING THROUGH TOMORROW. GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE
LOW. A WEAK FRONT CURRENTLY ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA TO BE
REINFORCED TOMORROW AS THE LOW DRIFTS NORTH. WINDS WILL REMAIN AROUND
GALE FORCE NEAR THE LOW WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX OF PRECIPITATION.
THEREFORE...DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW AT LOWER
ELEVATIONS. THE EFFECT OF AN UPPER LEVEL FEATURE MOVING THROUGH THE
BERING FROM THE NORTH COMBINED WITH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE
EASTERN BERING TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA WILL BRING SNOW TO MUCH OF THE
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN BERING. THE LOW WILL WEAKEN INTO FRIDAY AS IT
DRIFTS FURTHER NORTH WITH THE GRADIENT AND STRONGER WINDS SHIFTING
NORTH. A STRONG JET ROTATES UNDER THE LOW WITH A STRONG LOW
DEVELOPING WELL SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS FRIDAY. THIS TAKES THE ENERGY
FROM THE LOW CLOSER TO THE CHAIN. THE NEW LOW WRAPS UP INTO THE
WESTERN GULF. GOOD WINDS AND SOME PRECIP TO BE PRESENT OVER THE
ENTIRE GULF WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER THE MAINLAND. THE LOW WILL
EVENTUALLY ROTATE INTO BRISTOL BAY SUNDAY BRINGING MORE SHOWERS TO
THE MAINLAND.

SURFACE EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...A LARGE STACKED LOW JUST SOUTH OF
THE GULF WITH A STRONG FRONT. CURRENTLY THE WEAK FRONT OVER THE
CENTRAL GULF TO BE OVERTAKEN BY THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW
TONIGHT. THE STRONGER FRONT TO WORK TO THE GULF COAST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. WINDS AND WAVES WILL REMAIN HIGH ACROSS THE GULF.
PRECIPITATION WILL BE MOSTLY RAIN WITH SOME SNOW MIXED IN AT TIMES
ALONG THE COAST. THE FRONT WILL DISSIPATE ALONG THE COAST THURSDAY
NIGHT AS THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THE FRONT LEAVES. EXPECT SOME
WINDS TO MATERIALIZE ALONG EAST WEST AND NORTH SOUTH ORIENTED GAPS
WITH THE FRONT TOMORROW BUT WEAKEN OVERNIGHT THURSDAY. THE LOW
WEAKENS ON FRIDAY AS ANOTHER ONE DEEPENS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF.
THIS LOW IS DRIVEN BY A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND
THE UPPER LOW SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS SHORT WAVE TROUGH
HAS GREAT JET AND LOW LEVEL THERMAL SUPPORT. PRECIPITATION AND WINDS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RAPID LOW WILL BE STRONG. HOWEVER...MODELS
DIFFER ON THE STRENGTH AT ALL LEVELS. CURRENTLY THE GFS IS THE
STRONGEST AND FASTEST. FORECASTS HAVE LEANED TOWARD THIS
SOLUTION...BUT HAVE NOT GONE WHOLLY TOWARD THE DETAILS.
THEREFORE...THE FORECAST COULD BE LOWERED OR INCREASED FOR WINDS AND
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS LOW FOR FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL ALSO BE AFFECTED AS THE STRONGER IT IS THE
WARMER IT WILL BE INLAND. COASTAL LOCATIONS WILL DEFINITELY BE RAIN.
AFTER THIS TIME FRAME...THIS LOW MOVES ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE AND
WEAKENS RAPIDLY. PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MAINLAND FRIDAY
NIGHT WITH THIS TROUGH. ANOTHER LOW TO MOVE OUT OF THE NORTH PACIFIC
FRIDAY NIGHT AND ROLL NORTH INTO THE WESTERN GULF SATURDAY. THERE IS
A VERY BRIEF REPRIEVE FROM WINDS IN THE GULF EARLY SATURDAY. THE NEW
LOW NOW PUSHES NORTH TOWARD KODIAK SATURDAY NIGHT AND CROSSES TO
BRISTOL BAY SUNDAY. STRONG WINDS AND PRECIPITATION TO ONCE AGAIN PUSH
ACROSS THE COASTAL LOCATIONS SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. IT IS VERY
WARM AGAIN WITH MOST PRECIPITATION BEING RAIN AT THE COAST AND MOVING
TOWARD A RAIN SNOW MIX MUCH FURTHER INLAND.
