NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
504 AM ADT THU APR 26 2007

.DISCUSSION...
LARGE SCALE PATTERN FOR NORTHERN ALASKA FAIRLY STAGNANT WITH
MAIN STORM TRACK OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. HOWEVER...AS SOMEWHAT
COMPLEX PATTERN FOR THE EASTERN INTERIOR...AS WEAK FEATURES SPUN
OFF FROM GULF OF ALASKA CYCLONE WILL BRING AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR
SOME SNOW.

1034 HIGH NEAR 80N 155W QSTNRY. GFS IS ALMOST SURELY WEAKENING
THIS FEATURE TOO FAST. CANADIAN GEM..WHICH NEARLY ALWAYS DOES
BETTER WITH HIGH LATITUDE FEATURES...KEEPS THIS AT 1030 MB OR
ABOVE THRU SAT. RESULT WILL BE SLOWER DECREASE IN WINDS ALONG
THE ARCTIC COAST AND OFFSHORE. DRY COLD FRONT NOW INTO NORTHEAST
INTERIOR WORKING ITS WAY SOUTHWEST TODAY AND TODAY. REMAINS OF THE
THERMAL TROUGH OVER WESTERN INTERIOR. RIDGE DEVELOPING OVER
CENTRAL BERING SEA. 970 MB LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA REMAINING
WELL OFFSHORE BUT REMAINS OF THE OCFNT MOVING ON NORTH GULF COAST
TONIGHT.

DEEP UPPER LOW MOVING INTO THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA FRI..WITH
SOME OF THE ENERGY CROSSING THE MOUNTAINS IN THE YT FRI NIGHT.
HIGH ALOFT OVER THE ARCTIC OCEAN PERSISTING.

LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW LITTLE CHANGE IN LONG WAVE PATTERN FOR THE
NEXT WEEK.

FOR THE NORTH SLOPE...EAST WINDS CONTINUING FOR THE KNOWN
FUTURE..THO SPEEDS WILL PROBABLY COME DOWN A LITTLE.

FOR THE WEST COAST...FAIRLY QUIET NEXT FEW DAYS WITH NOTHING MORE
THAN AN ISOLATED SHOWER

FOR THE INTERIOR....MAJOR QUESTION IS MOISTURE FROM REMAINS OF
OCFNT MAKE IT ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS IN INTO THE EASTERN ZONES.
MODELS ARE NOT LIKELY TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT...BUT
CERTAINLY WORTH A MENTION A CHANCE OF PRECIP. GIVEN SOME AIRMASS
COOLING AND LOW DEW POINTS..ANY SIGNIFICANT PRECIP SHOULD BE
SNOW.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WEATHER WATCH ZONES 221 AND 222 FOR TODAY AS NE WINDS PICK
UP. RHS MAY GET LOW ENOUGH AT LEAST IN VALLEYS FOR RFW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
NO ISSUES AT THIS TIME. COOLER WEATHER NORTHERN INTERIOR WILL SLOW
SNOW MELT AND BREAK-UP.

&&

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

GALE WARNING FOR PKZ240-PKZ245.
