NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
1241 PM AST TUE JAN 2 2007

.DISCUSSION...
A COLD WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER
NORTHERN ALASKA THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

A BROAD COLD UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA
WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH SATURDAY WITH
ONLY LITTLE MOVEMENT EXPECTED FROM DAY TO DAY. THE
LOW WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT TO THE EAST ON SUNDAY...BUT
COLD AIR WILL REMAIN OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA
ON SUNDAY...AND VERY LIKELY INTO TUESDAY AS RIDGING
BUILDS OVER THE BERING SEA...SHIFTING THE UPPER FLOW
TO NORTHWEST OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA.

NORTH SLOPE/ARCTIC COAST...
INLAND AREAS OF THE NORTH SLOPE REMAIN VERY COLD...
WITH MOST OF THE NORTHERN PLAIN COLDER THAN 40 BELOW.
SATELLITE TEMPERATURE ESTIMATES ARE INDICATING TEMPERATURES
IN THE 50S BELOW IN THE UPPER COLVILLE RIVER DRAINAGE.
THIS DOME OF COLD AIR IS STRENGTHENING THE MESO-SCALE
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAIN WHICH
IS DRIVING THE GAP WINDS THROUGH BROOKS RANGE PASSES.
THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE BROOKS RANGE
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AT LEAST INTO WEDNESDAY...AND WE
WILL EXTEND THE WIND CHILL WARNING FOR PASSES IN ZONE 206
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WIND CHILL AT ANAKTUVUK PASS IS CURRENTLY
-57. IN ATIGUN PASS...WIND CHILL IS LIKELY AT 60 BELOW OR
COLDER...WITH TEMPERATURES TO 35 BELOW AND WIND SPEEDS LIKELY AT
30 MPH OR MORE IN THE PASS.

IN ZONE 203...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES OF -40 TO -45 COMBINED
WITH WIND SPEEDS UP TO 10 MPH ARE GENERATING WIND CHILL OF 60
TO 70 BELOW.

WEST COAST...
LOCAL WIND CHILL TO 40 BELOW OR COLDER REMAINS
THE MAJOR ISSUE. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER ZONE 211
IS EXPECTED TO RELAX SOME ON WEDNESDAY...BRING WINDS BELOW THE
WIND CHILL ADVISORY THRESHOLD. FOR THE REMAINING AREAS...THE
WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL BE EXTENDED THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
EVEN THOUGH A SLIGHT DECREASE IN WIND SPEEDS IS EXPECTED.

INTERIOR...
SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER PARTS
OF THE CENTRAL INTERIOR TONIGHT...GRADUALLY EXPANDING NORTHWARD
AND WESTWARD THROUGH THURSDAY. 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES INDICATE A
TONGUE OF UNSTABLE AIR SPREADING NORTHWARD INTO ZONE 222
TONIGHT...WITH LAPSE RATES OF 7-7.5C/KM. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
THIS UPPER LEVEL INSTABILITY WILL EXPAND OVER MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN INTERIOR WITH LAPSE RATES OF 7-8C/KM.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
