Area forecast discussion, Aug 23, 9:00 AM AKDT, 14 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 200 PM ADT THU AUG 23 2007 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... VERTICALLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. A STRONG JET STREAM WINDING AROUND THE UPPER CLOSED LOW IS ADVECTING IN A FAIR AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND OMEGA FIELDS INDICATE THAT THERE IS A WIDE SWATH OF LIFT. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AND DRIFT SOUTHEAST INTO JUNEAUS FORECAST DOMAIN BY EARLY SATURDAY. BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...A WEAK RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE BERING SEA WILL SWEEP THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA OVER THE WEEKEND AND BRING FAIR WEATHER. THE NEXT LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE ALASKA PENINSULA BY SUNDAY AND ITS ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT WILL BEGIN INFLUENCING SOUTHCENTRAL BY EARLY MONDAY. .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS INITIALIZED WELL THIS MORNING. MODEL DIFFERENCES ARE MINOR FOR THE EASTERN DOMAIN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THEREFORE...THE NEW FORECAST PACKAGE HAS NOT MANY CHANGES. ANY CHANGES ARE MINOR TO UP/DOWN POP. OUT WEST...SIGNIFICANT MODEL ISSUES REMAIN REGARDING THE KAMCHATKA LOW. THE OPERATIONAL NAM CONTINUES TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER THAN THE GFS UKMET AND ECMWF. THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN AND (SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH) THE NAM-BASED SREF AGREE WITH THE GFS SOLUTION. GFS REMAINS TO BE THE SUPERIOR NUMERICAL MODEL OUT WEST. .SHORT TERM FORECAST... SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA... ONSHORE FLOW AND GENERALLY SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT FROM THE LOW IN THE GULF WILL MEAN CONTINUED RAIN THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL. SHOWERS WILL BE MORE SCATTERED AWAY FROM THE COAST. GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH THIS EVENING IN MARINE ZONE 120 AS A BARRIER JET IS ALONG THE COAST. THE LOW WEAKENS TONIGHT WITH SHOWERS AND WINDS ON THE WANE OVERNIGHT. THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO PULL AWAY FRIDAY...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED RESIDUAL SHOWERS WILL LINGER. BY LATE FRIDAY...FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME MORE NORTHERLY AND BRING DRIER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND. THE KAMCHATKA LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN BERING BY EARLY SUNDAY...AND KODIAK ISLAND WILL BEGIN TO RECEIVE PRECIPITATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH ITS WEATHER FRONT BY MIDDAY SUNDAY WITH PRECIPITATION SPREADING NORTHWARD TO THE KENAI PENINSULA BY EARLY MONDAY. SOUTHWEST ALASKA... SHOWERS LINGERING PRIMARILY IN THE BRISTOL BAY AREA AND ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE GULF OF ALASKA LOW WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. HOWEVER...RESIDUAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER MUCH OF WESTERN ALASKA HAS SET UP AREAS OF FOG OVER THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND ALONG THE BERING SEA COAST INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS TODAY. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THAT FOG REDEVELOP TONIGHT. CONVECTIVE FORCING IS WEAKER TODAY THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY...AND SIGNIFICANT CLOUD COVER WILL INHIBIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY LOOKS TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY TOMORROW ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE AND REMAINS INTO SATURDAY. SHOWERS OVER HIGHER TERRAIN WILL BE THE RESULT OF THIS INSTABILITY. ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA... WIDESPREAD FOG OVER THE BERING RESULTING FROM SUBSIDENCE AND WEAK LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE TONIGHT AS A WEATHER FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE KAMCHATKA LOW SWEEPS ACROSS THE BERING AND BRINGS SMALL CRAFT TO GALE FORCE WINDS. THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN TONIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL BERING. WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CAN BE EXPECTED AS THE LOW SLOWLY DRIFTS ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA SUNDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST... DRIER WEATHER APPEARS TO BE IN TAP FOR MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA FOR THIS WEEKEND. THE KAMCHATKA LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BRING THE NEXT SYNOPTIC SCALE CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION...BUT IT APPEARS AT THIS POINT THAT PRECIPITATION WILL PRIMARILY BE CONFINED TO COASTAL AREAS. THE UPPER PATTERN WILL AMPLIFY BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH TROUGH AXIS N-S THROUGH ALASKA AS A POWERFUL JET STREAK WORKS ITS WAY AROUND AND DEEPENS THE UPPER LOW. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE MARINE...GALE 120 172 175 FIRE WEATHER...NONE TD/JN AUG 07
