AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AKST TUE DEC 16 2008

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THIS MORNING OUT THROUGH 60 HOURS.
THE GFS AND THE ECMWF BEGIN TO DIFFER SOMEWHAT AFTER THAT WITH THE
MOVEMENT OF THE NEXT LOW MOVING ALONG THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND NEAR
KODIAK FRIDAY BUT SOLUTIONS ARE SIMILAR. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM AFTER
THAT IS THE MOVEMENT OF THE LOW AND FRONT INTO SOUTHEAST.  THE ECMWR
HAS SHOWN GOOD MODEL TO MODEL CONSISTENCY THE PAST DAY OR SO AND ALSO
FOLLOWS HPC GUIDANCE. SO IN THE SHORT TERM THE NAM/GFS WAS USED OUT
TO 60 HOURS FOLLOWED BY THE ECMWF THURSDAY AND BEYOND.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE LONG WAVE PATTERN CONSISTS OF RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED
OVER THE STATE WHICH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK AND START TO DRIFT
OFF TO THE EAST BY THE WEEKEND. A LONG WAVE TROUGH IS LOCATED OVER
THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA EXTENDING DOWN THROUGH THE WESTERN BERING
SEA. THIS TROUGH WILL ROTATE EAST AND BE CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY FORMING A CLOSED UPPER LOW. THE UPPER JET IS
