Area forecast discussion, Apr 5, 11:45 PM AKDT, 5 hours before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
445 AM ADT SUN APR 6 2008

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...UPPER LOW JUST NORTH OF THE SEWARD
PENINSULA WITH AN ELONGATED TROUGH EXTENDING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA
WHERE ANOTHER CLOSED UPPER CIRCULATION HAS DEVELOPED. A SURFACE LOW
FORMED AS EXPECTED IN WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND LAST NIGHT AND
CONTINUES TO DRIFT EVER SO SLOWLY SE. HIGH PRESSURE RESIDES OVER THE
SW ALASKA COAST WITH A WEAK LOW DIVING SE ACROSS THE AKPENN WITH
LITTLE FAN FAIR.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...THE WEAK LOW IN THE SOUND IN COMBINATION WITH
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS NEARLY STATIONARY JUST TO THE WEST OF COOK
INLET SPELLS A SLOW CLEARING TREND OVER SOUTHCENTRAL. STEADIER SNOW
WILL COME TO AN END AROUND THE ANCHORAGE BOWL LATER TODAY...BUT LIGHT
SNOW WILL LINGER...POSSIBLY INTO MONDAY. THE SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE
ANCHORAGE HILLSIDE WILL BE EXTENDED UNTIL 4 PM AS THE MOISTURE AND
UPSLOPE FLOW JUST DOESNT WANT TO QUIT.

A PIECE OF THE UPPER LOW TO OUR NORTH DROPS SOUTH ACROSS SW ALASKA
WITH A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR. THE NEXT BIG WX MAKER COMES AS A
TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPS SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND TUES MORNING. THIS
LOW AND ASSOCIATED SFC TROUGH...WHICH EXTENDS BACK TO THE UPPER LOW
OVER BRISTOL BAY...WILL BRING THE NEXT WIDESPREAD PRECIP EVENT TO
SOUTHCENTRAL. DETAILS OUT THIS FAR ARE STILL FUZZY AS MODELS HAVE
STRUGGLED WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THIS PATTERN.
