AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
1255 PM AKST THU DEC 11 2008
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE ALASKA REGION IS UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN WITH A RIDGE FROM NORTHEAST
ALASKA UP TO THE POLE...TROUGH FROM THE CHUKCHI SEA SOUTHEAST
ACROSS ALASKA INTO THE GULF...RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN BERING...AND
A TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN BERING. THE TROUGH OVER MAINLAND ALASKA
HAS ACTUALLY STARTED TO SPLIT INTO TWO SEPARATE SHORT-WAVES WITH
THE NORTHERN PORTION LIFTING UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE TOWARD
THE BEAUFORT SEA AND THE SOUTHERN PORTION TRACKING EASTWARD INTO
THE GULF. THERE ARE STILL A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS INTERIOR SOUTHWEST
ALASKA AND SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS...BUT
CONDITIONS ARE GRADUALLY IMPROVING. A WEAK SURFACE LOW PERSISTS
OVER PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WHILE HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING FROM THE
PACIFIC NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL IS TIGHTENING AND GAP WINDS ARE INCREASING IN
THE USUAL LOCATIONS ALONG THE GULF COAST. OUT OVER THE BERING A
STRONG FRONT EXTENDING FROM A LOW EAST OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA
IS PUSHING EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING. QUIKSCAT WINDS AND BUOYS
46035 AND 46071 VERIFY THE PRESENCE OF STORM FORCE WINDS AHEAD OF
THE FRONT. THERE ARE ALSO STORM FORCE WINDS BEING OBSERVED BEHIND
THE FRONT IN THE VICINITY OF SHEMYA PARTLY DUE TO COLD ADVECTION
AND PARTLY DUE TO VICINITY OF THE LOW TO THE NORTH.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
SHORT-TERM AND SHOW GOOD RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY SO NO MAJOR
CHANGES WILL BE MADE TO CURRENT FORECAST.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL CONTINUE TO SPLIT
TONIGHT AS NORTHERN TROUGH SWINGS UP INTO INTERIOR ALASKA AND
SOUTHERN TROUGH DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS GULF. THUS...THERE WILL
BE LITTLE VERTICAL MOTION ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AS THE TROUGHS MOVE
ACROSS TONIGHT AND ALL PRECIPITATION WILL END. SKIES WILL CLEAR FROM
WEST TO EAST...WITH CLOUDS HANGING ON LONGEST OVER THE COPPER BASIN.
INLAND VALLEYS MAY SEE A LITTLE FOG...BUT EXPECT ENOUGH MIXING ACROSS
THE REGION TO PREVENT WIDESPREAD FOG FORMATION. THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN OVERNIGHT AS THE LOW IN THE SOUND
TRACKS SOUTHEAST INTO GULF AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS FROM SOUTHWEST
ALASKA TO INTERIOR SOUTHCENTRAL. THEREFORE...GAP WINDS ALONG THE
GULF COAST WILL INCREASE. THOMPSON PASS HAS TWO FEET OF FRESH SNOW
ON THE GROUND FROM THE RECENT STORM AND IT WONT TAKE MUCH WIND TO
REDUCE THE VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW. THEREFORE...WILL UPGRADE THE
CURRENT BLIZZARD WATCH TO A WARNING FROM THOMPSON PASS TO KEYSTONE
CANYON. THE GRADIENT WILL LOOSEN UP DURING THE DAY FRIDAY BUT WILL
TIGHTEN BACK UP FRIDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE STRENGTHENS TO
THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE REGION...SO GAP WINDS WILL CONTINUE AND
BLIZZARD WARNING MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED INTO SATURDAY. THE FRONT
CURRENTLY OVER THE BERING SEA WILL PUSH ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA
FRIDAY...BUT IT WILL RAPIDLY WEAKEN AS IT REACHES SOUTHCENTRAL...SO
DONT EXPECT MORE THAN A FEW CLOUDS AT THIS POINT. THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL BUILD EASTWARD OVER SOUTHCENTRAL BY THE END OF THE
WEEKEND...SO DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST. DRY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO
LEAD TO COLDER TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE UPPER TROUGH OVERHEAD WILL QUICKLY EXIT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE NEXT TROUGH IS NOT FAR BEHIND. WINDS AND
SNOW AHEAD OF THE STRONG BERING SEA FRONT WILL REACH THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA COAST BY LATE THIS EVENING AND SPREAD INLAND FRIDAY. THERE IS
SOME FRESH SNOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. THE ADDITION OF
STRONG WINDS PLUS ADDITIONAL SNOW WILL RESULT IN BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...SO THE CURRENT BLIZZARD WATCH WILL
BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING. THERE IS SOME QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER BETHEL
AND INLAND LOCATIONS WILL REACH 35 MPH BEFORE THE FRONT WEAKENS AND
MOVES INLAND. EVEN IF THEY DONT REACH THIS THRESHOLD STILL EXPECT
VERY LOW VISIBILITIES IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. THEREFORE...BLIZZARD
WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE ENTIRE ZONE. THIS UPPER TROUGH WILL
ALSO SPLIT INTO TWO FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH SOME ENERGY HEADED NORTHEAST
AND THE REST SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE GULF. SO THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY
SHEAR APART OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA FRIDAY NIGHT. A STRONG UPPER RIDGE
WILL BUILD OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA SATURDAY AND THEN SLOWLY PROGRESS
EASTWARD SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW ANOTHER SYSTEM TO MOVE
IN FROM THE WEST. WARM PACIFIC AIR WILL RIDE UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE
RIDGE...SO DONT ANTICIPATE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WITH THIS NEXT
SYSTEM...THOUGH IT SHOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR PRECIPITATION TO REMAIN
MOSTLY SNOW.
BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE CURRENT FRONT OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
WILL QUICKLY EXIT THE REGION FRIDAY AS ANOTHER FRONT MOVES INTO THE
WESTERN BERING. THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING TO THE EAST WILL PREVENT
THIS NEXT FRONT FROM PROGRESSING VERY FAR EAST. IT WILL STALL OVER
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT IS STRETCHED APART.
MEANWHILE...A PACIFIC STORM WILL TRACK UP THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIDGE
INTO THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN BERING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...BRINING LOTS
OF WARM AIR TO CHANGE PRECIPITATION TO RAIN.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE OVER MAINLAND
ALASKA AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WILL FLATTEN OUT SOME AS SYSTEMS
MOVE OVER-TOP OF IT. BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK MODELS INDICATE IT WILL
FINALLY PUSHED FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO ALLOW SYSTEMS TO IMPACT
