Area forecast discussion, Nov 18, 9:46 PM AKST, 10 hours 24 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
246 AM AST MON NOV 19 2007

.DISCUSSION...

ALOFT...
LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN INTERIOR WILL
BE PUSHED WESTWARD TOWARDS THE GULF OF ANADYR AS
A SHORT WAVE RIDGE PUSHES NORTHWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN
INTERIOR. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE INTERIOR WED...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH.

SURFACE...
MODERATE 975-980 MB LOW APPROACHING 50N/160W WILL
BEGIN WEAKENING OVER BRISTOL BAY BY 12Z WED. GENERAL
WIND SPEEDS OVER THE INTERIOR AND WEST COAST WILL
INCREASE AS THE LOW MOVES NORTH. MODELS DIFFER
CONSIDERABLY ON THE HANDLING OF THE NEXT LOW TO FOLLOW...
GFS/NAM HAVE SIMILAR POSITION JUST SOUTH OF THE ALASKA
PENINSULA BY 00Z FRI...CENTRAL PRESSURE LIKELY TO BE
IN THE RANGE OF 960-975 MB. ECMWF IS GOING FOR A MUCH
WEAKER LOW WITH NEAR THE KENAI PENINSULA...WILL GO WITH
GFS/NAM TRACK FOR NOW.

MAIN EVENT IN THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE THE MODERATE CHINOOK
WINDS DEVELOPING IN THE ALASKA RANGE TUE. ISSUANCE OF
A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY AS WE
GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT. HIGHEST WINDS ALOFT BELOW 700 MB
ARE EXPECTED TO MAX OUT AT 45-50 KT. NAM12 BOUNDARY LAYER
WINDS OVER THE ALASKA RANGE MAX OUT AT AROUND 70 KT...BUT
THIS LOOKS A BIT HIGH.

SNOW WILL DEVELOP OVER THE WESTERN INTERIOR TUE...SPREADING
TO THE WEST COAST TUE NIGHT AS AN INVERTED TROUGH EXPANDS
NORTHWARD AND MOVES WESTWARD. TOTAL SNOWFALL TUE THROUGH
TUE NIGHT MAY BE UP TO 6 INCHES IN SOME AREAS.
