AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AKDT WED OCT 22 2008

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
TWO STRONG SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA
THIS MORNING...ONE BEING A 946 MB MONSTER JUST SOUTH OF ADAK AND THE
OTHER BEING A 967 MB LOW JUST SOUTH OF YAKUTAT. A PROGRESSIVE RIDGE
OF HIGH PRESSURE LIES IN BETWEEN THESE SYSTEMS. THE 946 MB LOW IN
THE ALEUTIANS HAS HAD HURRICANE FORCE WINDS WITH IT...AS OBSERVED BY
THE 68 KNOT GUSTS AT BUOY 46071 NEAR AMCHITKA. THE LOW IS BEGINNING
TO WEAKEN HOWEVER AS IT MOVES EAST JUST SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS...AND
MOST OF THE REMAINING HURRICANE FORCE WINDS ARE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF
THE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC JUST OUTSIDE OUR FORECAST AREA. THE 976
MB GULF LOW TO MOVE INLAND JUST EAST OF YAKUTAT LATER TODAY IS
BRINGING GALE FORCE WINDS TO MUCH OF THE GULF.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAJOR FEATURES THROUGH
THE SHORT TERM. SOME DISAGREEMENTS WITH A MORE MINOR COMPLEX LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING EAST INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING
LATER TONIGHT OR THURSDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...
ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LOW MOVING INLAND NEAR YAKUTAT TODAY...GUSTY
NORTH TO WEST WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS AFTERNOON OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHCENTRAL AND ADJACENT MARINE
AREAS. LIGHT SNOW IS SPILLING OVER INTO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN
TODAY. ALSO...SOME LIGHT SNOW IS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS MORNING ON
THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS AS AN UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE MOVES UP COOK INLET AND MEETS THE FAIRLY MOIST LOW LEVEL
NORTHWEST FLOW ALREADY PRESENT. A VERY BRIEF RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THIS EVENING AS ANOTHER SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN GULF. THE MONSTER ALEUTIAN LOW WILL WEAKEN
AND MOVE INTO THE GULF SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND TONIGHT...BUT A FAIRLY
STRONG TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL FORM LATER TONIGHT EAST OF KODIAK AND
MOVE NORTHEAST TO NEAR CORDOVA THURSDAY EVENING. THIS LOW WILL BRING
HIGH END GALE FORCE WINDS TO MOST MARINE AREAS WITH EVEN SOME STORM
FORCE WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW IN THE COLD ADVECTION
THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THE CHALLENGE WITH THIS LOW WILL BE
PINPOINTING THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE PRECIPITATION...WHICH WILL MOST
LIKELY EXTEND FROM KODIAK ISLAND TO THE MIDDLE OF THE KENAI
PENINSULA TO ANCHORAGE. GOING WITH JUST A CHANCE OF SNOW FOR
ANCHORAGE FOR NOW...BUT WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS VERY CLOSELY. THIS
SYSTEM MOVES OUT FRIDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE COLDEST AIRMASS OF THE
SEASON SO FAR IN PLACE OVER MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL.

SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...
FAIRLY QUIET FORECAST FOR THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...WITH MOST OF THE
WEATHER FROM THE GULF LOWS STAYING EAST OF THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN
RANGES. EXPECT PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY
WITH ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS AND COLD TEMPERATURES WITH NORTHWEST FLOW
OVER THE REGION.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
A VERY STRONG BUT RAPIDLY WEAKENING LOW WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE JUST
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE WESTERN GULF TONIGHT. THE
STRONGEST WINDS...AT LEAST GUST-WISE...WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE COLD
ADVECTION BEHIND THE LOW. EXPECT RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW IN SOME
AREAS...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION ANYWHERE NEAR SEA LEVEL. A
TAMER WEATHER PATTERN TO SET UP THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH FAIRLY
LIGHT NORTHWEST FLOW AND A COMPLEX WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
VERY COLD AIRMASS TO PERSIST OVER THE MAINLAND THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY. WARMER WESTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE BERING AND
ALEUTIANS LATE IN THE WEEKEND OR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
