NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 128 PM ADT FRI APR 27 2007 .DISCUSSION... LARGE SCALE PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY STAGNANT AND UNORGANIZED FOR NORTHERN ALASKA AS THE MAIN STORM TRACK LIES OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. A FEW WEAK FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AROUND AND CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED PRECIP. NORTH SLOPE...A 1028 MB HIGH CONTINUES TO WEAKEN IN THE HIGH ARCTIC...AS IT DOES SO WINDS WILL DIMINISH ALONG THE NORTH SLOPE...THE QUESTION IS EXACTLY WHEN AS THE MODELS TEND TO WEAKEN THESE FEATURES TOO QUICKLY. WINDS HAVE BEEN STRONG ENOUGH ALL MORNING TO FORCE AN EXTENSION OF THE BLSN ADVISORY INTO THE AFTERNOON. LOOKS LIKE THE WINDS WILL FINALLY SLOW ENOUGH THIS EVENING TO SETTLE THE BLOWING SNOW AND INCREASE VIS ABOVE IFR CONDITIONS. INTERIOR...AN OLD OCCLUSION FROM A GULF OF ALASKA LOW IS PROVIDING JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE TO OVERRUN A DRY COLD FRONT STALLING JUST SOUTH OF FAIRBANKS. THIS SET UP WILL RESULT IN SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS....HEAVY AT TIMES...OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN INTERIOR THROUGH THE EVENING. WEST COAST...WEAK SHORTWAVES IN THE WEAK FLOW ALOFT MIGHT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A LITTLE SNOW SOUTH OF THE SEWARD PEN...A FEW FLURRIES MAY WORK THEIR WAY UP INTO NOME THIS EVENING BUT MOST OF THE ENERGY REMAINS TO THE SOUTH IN NORTON SOUND. LOW OFFSHORE STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE WEST COAST OVERNIGHT FROM KOTZEBUE SOUTH. LONG RANGE...PATTERN REMAINS FAIRLY STAGNANT OVER NORTHERN ALASKA. A FEW ORGANIZED SYSTEMS WILL MOVE TO OUR SOUTH AND STIR THINGS UP NEXT WEEK IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES ALONG THE WEST COAST. SOME CONVECTIVE PRECIP COULD BE POSSIBLE MID WEEK OVER THE INTERIOR. COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE && .FIRE WEATHER... COOLER TEMPS AND DIMINISHING WINDS WILL KEEP RH A BIT HIGHER...THO ATMS REMAINS PRETTY DRY. && .HYDROLOGY...
