AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
145 PM AKDT TUE OCT 7 2008

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...SHOWERS CONTINUE TO SWIRL AROUND THE
UPPER LOW WHICH IS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA.
A WEAK SURFACE LOW IS CENTERED JUST TO THE EAST OVER WESTERN PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND. THE SNOW THAT FELL OVERNIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF
SOUTHCENTRAL HAS RESULTED IN A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER. THE
COMBINATION OF MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS HAS RESULTED IN LOW CEILINGS
AND AREAS OF FOG THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF
SOUTHCENTRAL. COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW IS
PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS THROUGH THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND KODIAK ISLAND
REGION.

A WEAK SHORT-WAVE RIDGE IS PROGRESSING EASTWARD INTO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA HELPING TO GRADUALLY SHUT OFF THE SHOWERS THAT HAVE
DOMINATED THE REGION THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. A WEAK FRONT BEHIND
THE RIDGE IS MAKING SLOW PROGRESSION EASTWARD...BRINGING WARM AND
STABLE AIR WITH IT.

FARTHER UPSTREAM...A TROUGH IS DROPPING DOWN THROUGH THE KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA. A 160 KT SUBTROPICAL JET SOUTH OF THIS TROUGH IS AIDING
IN DEVELOPMENT OF A SURFACE LOW OVER THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC. THE
FORMATION OF THIS LOW HAS BEEN ANTICIPATED WITH ALL OF THE
INGREDIENTS COMING TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A MAJOR STORM.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...GFS/ECMWF/UKMET HAVE FINALLY ALL COME INTO
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HANDLING OF DEVELOPING PACIFIC LOW AND ITS
MOVEMENT INTO THE BERING SEA. ALL THREE MODELS ALSO INDICATE
DEVELOPMENT OF TRIPLE POINT LOWS OVER THE EASTERN BERING THURSDAY
AND BARREN ISLANDS REGION THURSDAY NIGHT. THE GFS IS A BIT STRONGER
WITH TRIPLE POINT LOW OVER BARREN ISLANDS...WHICH GREATLY AFFECTS
TURNAGAIN ARM WIND FORECAST. BASED ON STRONG DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL GO WITH THE GFS SOLUTION FOR NOW. THE NAM
IS AN OUTLIER WITH ITS LOW POSITIONS...BUT CAN STILL BE USED AS
GUIDANCE FARTHER FROM THE LOW CENTERS WHERE IT SOLUTION MATCHES
UP WELL WITH THE OTHER MODELS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL...THE UPPER LOW WILL OPEN UP INTO A TROUGH AND SLOWLY
LIFT OFF TO THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. UPPER LEVELS
WILL DRY OUT...BUT LOW LEVELS WILL REMAIN MOIST SO LOW CLOUDS AND
FOG ARE LIKELY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF DRY
SPELL (WITH CLEARING SKIES) WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AS A SHORT-WAVE RIDGE MOVES IN. HOWEVER...CLOUDS WINDS AND
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG SYSTEM OUT WEST WILL MOVE
TO KODIAK ISLAND WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND TO THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL
THURSDAY. PRECIPITATION MAY START AS SNOW...PARTICULARLY INLAND...BUT
MOST PLACES WILL QUICKLY CHANGE TO RAIN AS VERY WARM AIR IS ADVECTED
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION. A STRONG FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTH
GULF COAST THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH AN ORIENTATION FAVORABLE
FOR BARRIER JET FORMATION. IF A TRIPLE POINT LOW DOES DEVELOP IN THE
BARREN ISLAND REGION THIS WILL HELP TIGHTEN THE EAST-WEST GRADIENT
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST EVEN FURTHER. CONDITIONS LOOK EXTREMELY
FAVORABLE FOR HIGH WIND WARNING CONDITIONS THROUGH PORTAGE VALLEY AND
TURNAGAIN ARM. OF COURSE A SLIGHT CHANGE IN TRIPLE POINT DEVELOPMENT
OR TRACK COULD CHANGE THAT. FOR NOW WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR
THESE AREAS FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...SOUTHWEST ALASKA REMAINS UNDER INFLUENCE OF
UPPER TROUGH CENTERED OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. WEAK WAVES EMBEDDED IN
THE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE CLOUDS OVER MUCH OF
THE REGION AS WELL AS A FEW FLURRIES OR SHOWERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THE TROUGH WILL COMPLETELY EXIT LATER WEDNESDAY AS A
SHORT-WAVE RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD. CONDITIONS WILL QUICKLY HEAD
DOWNHILL WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALONG THE COAST AND SPREAD INLAND THURSDAY.
STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ALOFT WILL QUICKLY CHANGE PRECIPITATION
TO RAIN MOST PLACES...ALTHOUGH IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO SCOUR
OUT THE COLD AIR FROM THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...WITH MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN HANDLING OF
NEXT SYSTEM CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS MUCH HIGHER. THUS WILL BEGIN TO ADD
MORE DETAIL INTO LATEST FORECAST AND INCREASE WIND FORECAST ACROSS
THE REGION. EXPECT STORM FORCE WINDS JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT ALONG
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN ALASKA PENINSULA WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE AN 850 MB JET OF
AROUND 75 KT OVER THIS SAME AREA. GRANTED...THIS IS A STABLE WARM
ADVECTION SCENARIO...BUT AFFECT OF COMPLEX TERRAIN WILL AID IN
ACCELERATION OF WINDS AND THIS IS A FAVORABLE DIRECTION FOR WINDS
TO BLOW IN THE DUTCH HARBOR AREA. THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WARNING FOR THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
WEDNESDAY EVENING. MODERATE COLD ADVECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE
LOW WILL PRODUCE STORM FORCE WINDS OVER THE CENTRAL BERING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY. WINDS MAY REACH HURRICANE FORCE...BUT WILL WAIT
ONE MORE MODEL CYCLE BEFORE UPPING WINDS THAT HIGH.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE BERING SEA LOW COMPLEX WILL TRANSITION
