Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 8:00 AM AKDT, 3 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 100 PM ADT SUN APR 13 2008 .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A FAIRLY FLAT RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC EXTENDS UP INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING WHILE AN ANCHOR LOW SITS TO THE NORTH OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA. THERE IS A TROUGH ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RIDGE OVER THE FAR WESTERN BERING AND OVER THE FAR EASTERN GULF. ANOTHER TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTHEAST FROM THE ANCHOR LOW OVER MAINLAND ALASKA...NOT QUITE IN PHASE WITH THE EASTERN GULF TROUGH. THE UPPER JET IS RIDING RIGHT OVER TOP OF THE RIDGE...DRIVING WARM AIR AND MOISTURE ACROSS THE BERING SEA INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA. AT THE SURFACE THERE IS A LOW OVER NORTON SOUND TRACKING EAST-NORTHEAST WITH WARM FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEASTWARD OVER INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA. WARM AIR HAS CHANGED PRECIPITATION TO MAINLY RAIN ALONG THE COAST WHILE INLAND TEMPERATURES REMAIN PLENTY COLD FOR ALL SNOW. MID TO HIGH CLOUDS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MOVE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING...BUT ANTICYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT HAS RESULTED IN SOME DISSIPATION. STILL THE TREND IS TOWARD INCREASING AND LOWERING CLOUDS. THE TROUGH EXITING TO THE EAST COMBINED WITH A NORTHEAST GULF SURFACE LOW HAVE BEEN PRODUCING AREAS OF SNOW FROM EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND TO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. OBSERVATIONS SHOW SLOW IMPROVEMENT IN THESE AREAS. .MODEL DISCUSSION...NAM INITIALIZED BEST WITH DUAL SURFACE LOWS OVER THE NORTH TO EAST GULF. OTHERWISE...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW EXCELLENT AGREEMENT AND EXPECT ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND FINE-TUNING OF CURRENT FORECAST. .SHORT TERM FORECAST...THE MAINLAND ALASKA TROUGH WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD TONIGHT WHILE SURFACE LOW TRACKS TO INTERIOR ALASKA. PROGRESSIVE PATTERN TO THE SOUTH WILL MOVE RIDGE EASTWARD WITH STRONG WESTERLIES ON TOP OF THE RIDGE PUSHING MOST OF WARM AIR EASTWARD INTO THE GULF. THERE ARE A COUPLE WAVES EMBEDDED IN THE WESTERLY FLOW THAT MAY PRODUCE SOME AREAS OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT AND MONDAY...MAINLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS. LOW LEVELS ARE QUITE DRY AND THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MOISTURE TO SATURATE THE AIR. MEANWHILE...ARCTIC AIR BEHIND THE WESTERN BERING UPPER TROUGH AND CHUKCHI SEA UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO USHER DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN TO WESTERN BERING CHANGING PRECIPITATION BACK TO SNOW. WITH A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN THIS TROUGH WILL QUICKLY MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING MONDAY AND MAINLAND ALASKA TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. IT WILL AMPLIFY AS IT MOVES EASTWARD IN RESPONSE TO BUILDING RIDGE UPSTREAM AND RESULTANT STRENGTHENING NORTHERLY JET. THERE WILL BE GOOD MID TO UPPER LEVEL LIFT AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH...BUT IN THE LOW LEVELS COLD AND DRY AIR WILL QUICKLY USHER IN. THEREFORE...FOR SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA EXPECT ONLY MINOR SNOW MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH THE TROUGH...MAINLY IN UPSLOPE AREAS. THE BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS/ALASKA PENINSULA WILL SEE MORE PRECIPITATION AS WELL AS COLD ADVECTION SNOW SHOWERS BEHIND THE TROUGH. A SURFACE LOW WILL FORM OVER THE NORTHERN GULF/PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND REGION MONDAY NIGHT...NOT SOON ENOUGH TO PUSH ANY MOISTURE BACK WESTWARD. IT WILL HOWEVER LIKELY RESULT IN ENHANCED SNOW OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE EASTERN COPPER RIVER BASIN. AN UPPER LOW WILL FORM OVER THE GULF WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH BECOMES NEUTRALLY TILTED...WHICH WILL SLOW THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE TROUGH. STILL...EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS FROM WEST TO EAST ON WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL DROP INTO WESTERN ALASKA WEDNESDAY BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OF SNOW TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND REINFORCEMENT OF COLD AIR. THE UPCOMING COLD ADVECTION EVENT WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD GUSTY WINDS...WITH STRONG WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED AREAS OF THE MOUNTAIN RANGES OVER THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND AND ALASKA PENINSULA. WILL START TO BETTER REFLECT SOME OF THESE GAP WINDS WITH THE NEW FORECAST. FINALLY...THE BERING SEA WILL DRY OUT TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WEDNESDAY. .LONG TERM FORECAST...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EVOLUTION OF UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WHILE DETAILS ARE AS USUAL IN QUESTION. PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED WITH A RIDGE BUILDING OVER MAINLAND ALASKA/GULF AND TROUGH SETTING UP OVER THE BERING SEA. THEREFORE...EXPECT AN ACTIVE STORM TRACK FROM THE PACIFIC NORTH INTO THE BERING SEA WHILE MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA...ESPECIALLY THE EASTERN HALF...WILL REMAIN DRY UNDERNEATH THE BLOCKING RIDGE. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE. MARINE...GALE WARNING 132 138 150 155 170 172 175 176. FIRE WEATHER...NONE. SEB APR 08
