NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
649 AM AST WED NOV 14 2007

.DISCUSSION...A PERIOD OF HEAVY SURF STILL LOOKS LIKELY FOR
SAVOONGA AND SHISHMAREF...THE MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING THEIR
FORECASTS OF SEAS DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY...AND WE ARE NOW LOOKING AT 8
FT OR MAYBE 10 FT (SIG WAVE) AT MOST. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THESE NUMBERS AND SURF AT ANY GIVEN LOCATION IS NOT DIRECT...BUT
THE TREND IS NOT ENCOURAGING. THE MODELS DIVERGE A BIT ON
FRIDAY...BUT THE EVENT WILL BE OVER BY EVENING.

THE MODELS OTHERWISE ARE IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT AND
REASONABLY CONSISTENT RUN-TO-RUN. WHAT APPEARS AT FIRST
GLANCE TO BE A PRETTY GOOD OVERRUNNING EVENT IN THE EASTERN
INTERIOR THU NIGHT AND FRI DOES NOT BEAR CLOSE EXAMINATION.
AT LEAST...NOT THIS SIDE OF ZONE 226. THE LOW EXPECTED TO
MOVE CYCLONICALLY WESTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA
APPEARS ACTUALLY TO BE MOVING A COOLER AIRMASS INTO THE
EASTERN INTERIOR FROM NORTHWEST CANADA.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
