Area forecast discussion, May 24, 8:15 AM AKDT, 14 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 115 PM ADT THU MAY 24 2007 .MODEL DISCUSSION...NCEP/UKMET MODEL SYNOPTIC MSLP SCALE INITIALIZATIONS AND FORECAST TRENDS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. THE GFS STILL APPEARS TO BE UNCERTAIN ON THE INTENSITY OF A DEVELOPING LOW WHICH MOVES SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS MON. CURRENT RUN IS ABOUT 11 MB DEEPER THAN PREVIOUS 00Z RUN. GFS OPERATIONAL SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE BASED ON ONE ENSEMBLE MEMBER(OUT-LIER) RATHER THEN THE MEAN. BASED ON THIS...WILL JUST NUDGE CURRENT WIND GRIDS TOWARD THE LATEST RUN...RATHER THAN MAKE A MAJOR CHANGE. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...OVERLAY OF 850-500 MB RH AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY FROM GFS40 SHOWS GOOD CORRELATION THROUGH 18Z TODAY. FORECAST TREND IS TO TAKE OLD CENTER SOUTH OF SAND AND MOVE IT INTO THE EASTERN BERING SEA SAT. TROUGH OVER THE GULF PIVOTS NORTH AND BY SAT EXTENDS EAST FROM CENTER OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA. TO WEST...TROUGH EXTENDS EAST TO THE PRIBILOFS. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE BUILDS NORTH OF WEST-EAST TROUGH AXIS. .SURFACE... .EAST...A GENERALLY CLOUDY AND MOIST PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH SUN. MAIN AREAS OF RAIN WILL BE ALONG COASTAL LOCATIONS AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA. THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WILL GENERALLY BE ON THE DRY SIDE. IMPULSE MOVING THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL THIS AFTERNOON MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA THIS EVENING. FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING FROM NEAR KODIAK ISLAND TO THE SE GULF MOVES NORTH AND STALLS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AS RIDGE HOLDS OVER THE NORTH GULF/SOUTHERN MAINLAND. RAIN WITH FRONT MOVES NORTH TONIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED MAINLY TO COASTAL LOCALS AND EAST EXPOSURES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. EXPECT MAX SMALL CRAFT/MIN GALES IN NORTH GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF FRONTAL TROUGH. COMBO RIDGE ALONG THE NORTH GULF AND WEAK THERMAL TROUGH OVER THE MAINLAND WILL PRODUCE GUSTY GAP WINDS OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA..TURNAGAIN ARM/KNIK...THROUGH TODAY AND FRI. ALSO EXPECT GUSTY SOUTH WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ALONG THE COPPER RIVER TODAY AND FRI...AND TO LESSER EXTENT SAT. PROBABLY WILL SOME DRIER WEATHER SUN NIGHT/MON AS RIDGE TAKES HOLD OVER AREA...ALTHOUGH A FEW SHOWERS STILL POSSIBLE. RESURGENCE OF MOISTURE AGAIN AND SPREADING TO KODIAK ISLAND MON AND TO THE MAINLAND TUE WITH APPROACH OF DEVELOPING NE PACIFIC LOW CENTER. .WEST...EXPECT GENERALLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS LIKELY TO HOLD OVER THE SW MAINLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. BEST SHOT AT LIGHT RAIN OR SHOWERS WILL BE OVER THE DELTA/BRISTOL BAY AS LOW CENTER SOUTH OF AK PEN BECOMES STATIONARY EAST OF THE PRIBILOFS. EXPECT RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY WITH SE DOWNSLOPE TODAY AND FRI. MAY SEE INCREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY SAT AND SUN AS SE DOWNSLOPE WEAKENS. BRISK NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND PRIBILOFS WILL WEAKEN FRI NIGHT AND SAT. HIGH PRESSURE HOLDS OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS THROUGH SAT. DEVELOPING NORTH PACIFIC CENTER MOVES SOUTH OF WESTERN ALEUTIANS FRI. CURRENT RUN WOULD INDICATE GALES NORTH OF CENTER...BUT WILL HOLD A LITTLE WEAKER BASED ON ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE 130 AND 138. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. RMC MAY 07
