AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
230 PM ADT SAT APR 19 2008

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODEL INITIALIZATIONS REASONABLE. THE GFS STILL
THE MOST CONSISTENT WITH FEATURES OUT WEST...THOUGH MAY BE TOO WEAK
ON LOW APPROACHING THE EAST ALEUTIANS/AK PEN TODAY. SO...WILL BE
USING THE GFS MODEL GUIDANCE IN THIS AFTERNOONS FORECAST PACKAGE.

.UPPER LEVELS...THE BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA AND
CENTRAL MAINLAND WILL HOLD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE
BERING SEA TROUGH UNDERGOES SOME MODIFICATION WITH A LOW CENTER
MOVING FROM THE KAMCHATKA PEN TODAY TO SOUTH OF THE EAST ALEUTIANS
MON. THIS IN TURN IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOW CENTER MOVING TO EASTERN
RUSSIA. SO IN GENERAL...THE MEAN TROUGH POSITION DOES NOT CHANGE MUCH
THROUGH TUESDAY. BY THU/THU NIGHT THE LONG WAVE DIGS OVER THE EASTERN
BERING SEA AS THE MAINLAND RIDGE SHOWS SOME SIGNS OF WEAKENING.

.SURFACE...
EAST...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PERSIST OVER THE GULF AND SOUTHCENTRAL
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. CURRENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWS EXTENSIVE STRATUS AND FOG OVER THE WEST AND CENTRAL GULF OF
ALASKA AND NEAR KODIAK ISLAND. EXPECT COASTAL LOCALS AND COOK INLET
LIKELY TO SEE AN INCREASE OF STRATUS AND FOG OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF

A LITTLE STRONGER THEN MODEL PROJECTIONS. EXPECT COMPLEX TO PUSH
NORTH INTO THE EASTERN BERING SEA SUN...THEN CURVE WNW. STRONG SE TO
EAST WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE AK PEN AND BRISTOL BAY WILL WEAKEN SUN.
FRONTAL TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM LIKELY TO WEAKEN AS IT
MOVES ALONG THE SW COAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MORNING SOUNDING AND
TEMPERATURE ADVECTION ARE SUCH THAT PRECIPITATION WILL GENERALLY BE
RAIN OR BRIEF MIX OVER SW AK. RIDGING BUILDS MON/TUE INTO BRISTOL
BAY...SO PROBABLY WILL SE SOME CLEARING...THOUGH PATCHY FOG LIKELY.
INTERIOR SW AK WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ON THE DRY SIDE WITH INTERIOR
RIDGING. 980S LOW CENTER NEAR KAMCHATKA THIS MORNING MOVES TO THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS TONIGHT THEN WEAKENS SW OF DUTCH HARBOR MON
EVENING. EXPECT WNW GALES TO FORM ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS CENTER OVER
