Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 12:00 PM AKST, 11 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 PM AST THU JAN 17 2008
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN CLOSER AGREEMENT THIS MORNING THAN THEY WERE YESTERDAY
BUT THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES ESPECIALLY IN THE SHORT TERM.
THE 00Z NAM/GFS RUNS HAD LARGE DIFFERENCES IN THE TRACK OF THE LOW IN
THE GULF. GFS HAD AN EASTERLY TRACK WHILE NAM HAD THE LOW MOVING INTO
THE PWS...06Z MODEL RUNS SHOW THE GFS TRENDING MORE TOWARD THE NAM.
NAM HAS DONE WELL IN THE SHORT TERM OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS SO THAT
SOLUTION WAS SELECTED FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS. OUT WEST THE NAM AND
THE GFS ARE IN MUCH CLOSER AGREEMENT WHILE THE ECMWF/UKMET SOLUTIONS
VARY GREATLY. THE CURRENT FORECAST LEANS TOWARD THE NEW GFS SOLUTION
WHICH MOVES THE LOW IN THE ALEUTIANS NORTHWARD AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE
THAN THE EC/UK.
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS VERY SIMILAR TO YESTERDAYS ALTHOUGH THE
LONGWAVE TROUGH/RIDGE COUPLET HAS WEAKENED SLIGHTLY IN AMPLITUDE.
THE JET STREAM CONTINUES TO BE VERY STRONG AND A 140 KT JET MAX
MOVING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL DEEPEN IT SLIGHTLY AGAIN.
THIS STRONG JET WILL ALSO PROVIDE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR THE NEXT
LOW THAT MOVES INTO THE BASE OF THE TROUGH BEGINNING FRIDAY NIGHT.
IN THE MEANTIME THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE
GULF WILL NOT HAVE MUCH COLD AIR ADVECTION SUPPORTING THE
INSTABILITY...SO THEY WILL NOT BE AS STRONG IN SPITE OF THE UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...THIS FORECAST IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE
TRACK OF THE LOW. WITH THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK THE SOUTHCENTRAL
REGION CAN EXPECT TO SEE SNOW AGAIN IN THE SHORT TERM BUT NOT
EXPECTING ADVISORY LEVEL ACCUMULATIONS. FOG IS PERSISTENT THIS
MORNING BUT THIS SHOULD DISSIPATE QUICKLY AS THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO ROLL
IN. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO GALES IN THE WESTERN MARINES AS THE LOW
APPROACHES. EXPECT A REPEAT OF YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING FOR FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY AS SNOW HITS THE REGION AND THEN SKIES CLEAR OUT WHEN
THE RIDGE MOVES IN.
WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...SNOW SHOWERS PERVADE THE EASTERN BERING
WITH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY AFFECTING THE REGION. THIS TROUGH
SHOULD SLOWLY MOVE ONSHORE THURSDAY EVENING AND WILL BRING A BRIEF
PERIOD OF SNOW TO THE MAINLAND THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. AFTER THAT THE
RIDGE WILL SET UP AND FOG WILL BE A CONCERN ONCE AGAIN. IN THE
ALEUTIANS CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN CALM FOR THE NEXT DAY BUT BY FRIDAY
MORNING THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL BE FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE LOW
MOVING UP FROM THE BERING. THIS WILL BRING GALE WINDS TO THE
ALEUTIANS IN THE SHORT TERM AND EVENTUALLY RAIN WITH THE WARM AIR
COMING IN FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE WEEKEND FORECAST IS STILL HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON HOW MUCH WARM AIR
GETS PUMPED UP AHEAD OF THE LOW IN THE BERING. CURRENT MODEL RUNS
INDICATE THAT A STRONG RIDGE WILL SET UP OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND THAT
THE RAIN SNOW LINE WILL MAKE IT UP INTO THE INTERIOR. THIS MEANS AN
UNPLEASANT WEEKEND FOR THE WEST COAST IN PARTICULAR. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WILL BE RAIN OR SNOW OR A MIX OF BOTH EAST OF
THE ALASKA RANGE...ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A MAJOR CHINOOK
EVENT FOR SOUTHCENTRAL AT THIS POINT.
