AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM AST SUN FEB 3 2008

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT. ALL MODELS HAVING SOME
DIFFICULTY RESOLVING THE SMALLER LOWS OUT WEST BUT GFS DOES THE BEST
OF THE LOT. NAM DOES RESOLVE THE TIGHTENED PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG
THE GULF COAST THIS MORNING BETTER THAN THE GFS. STILL ALL MODELS
RELAX THE GRADIENT BY TOMORROW MORNING.

.MAINLAND ALASKA THROUGH 48 HOURS...
THE OLD 994 MB LOW NEAR CAPE YAKATAGA WILL DRIFT WESTWARD TO NEAR
MIDDLETON ISLAND BY MONDAY MORNING AND WEAKEN TO 1003 MB IN THE
PROCESS. THE LOW THEN DISSIPATES ALL TOGETHER BY MONDAY EVENING.
THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN GULF COAST
IS PRODUCING STRONG GUSTY WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED AREAS OF THE
CHUGACH RANGE. THE RWIS AT THOMPSON PASS HAS ROUTINELY BEEN REPORTING
SUSTAINED WINDS OF OVER 60 MPH AND FREQUENT GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 100
MPH. AT 1 AM THE DOT STATION AT THOMPSON PASS REPORTED HEAVY FALLING
SNOW BLOWING SNOW AND NEAR ZERO VISIBILITIES. VALDEZ CITY CONTINUES
TO REPORT FREQUENT GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 45 MPH. STRONG GUSTY WINDS ARE
ALSO VERY LIKELY OCCURRING NEAR CORDOVA CITY AND THE COPPER RIVER
DELTA. HOWEVER NO OBSERVATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA AT THIS
TIME TO CONFIRM. CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO HOLD FOR SEVERAL MORE
HOURS THEN DIMINISH AROUND NOON.
SATELLITE IMAGERY REVEALS A TIGHT BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS ROTATING
AROUND THE LOW CENTER. SNOW SHOWERS ARE LIMITED TO EASTERN PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND AND EASTWARD. SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE NOT
EXPECTED IN MOST AREAS. HOWEVER A REPORT OUT OF THE THOMPSON PASS DOT
STATION AT 1 AM DID NOTE HEAVY FALLING SNOW BLOWING SNOW AND NEAR
ZERO VISIBILITIES.
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN WILL BE SPARED ANY SIGNIFICANT SNOW BUT GUSTY
NORTH WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED AREAS ARE A POSSIBILITY. WIND CHILLS
MAY ALSO BE AN ISSUE.
LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW AND COLD TEMPERATURES WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF MAINLAND ALASKA. 850 TEMPS RANGE FROM AROUND NEGATIVE 14
CELSIUS NEAR KODIAK ISLAND TO AROUND NEGATIVE 24 CELSIUS OVER THE
COPPER RIVER BASIN. LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPS BETWEEN NOW AND MONDAY
AFTERNOON.

.ALASKA PENINSULA PRIBILOF ISLANDS AND ALEUTIANS THROUGH 48 HOURS...
A 987 MB LOW NEAR ATKA WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA THIS
MORNING AND BECOME A 991 MB LOW 150 NM WEST OF SAINT GEORGE MONDAY
MORNING. THE LOW THEN BECOMES QUASI STATIONARY AND GRADUALLY
DISSIPATES BY TUESDAY MORNING.
THE ASSOCIATED OCCLUDED FRONT WILL PASS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
THIS MORNING AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION
WILL REMAIN ALMOST ENTIRELY SNOW IN THESE AREAS DESPITE WARM AIR
ADVECTION. THE PRECIPITATION BAND WILL JUST BARELY GRAZE THE PRIBILOF
ISLANDS.
THIS WILL BE MAINLY A WIND EVENT FOR SAINT PAUL AND SAINT GEORGE.
HOWEVER PLENTY OF LOOSE SNOW ON THE GROUND IN THESE AREAS MEANS
VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY TO DROP TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES IN SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW. THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE LOW MEANS ONCE CONDITIONS
DEVELOP TODAY THEY ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.
SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE FOR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS
WHICH REMAIN ALONG THE LOWS SOUTHERN FLANK UNTIL IT DISSIPATES
TUESDAY NIGHT.
ADDITIONALLY A SMALL 986 MB LOW WILL FLIRT WITH SHEMYA THIS AFTERNOON
THEN RETREAT BACKWARDS TOWARD THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. EXPECT SNOW
AND WIND THIS MORNING THEN IMPROVEMENT TOWARD EVENING.

.BEYOND 48 HOURS...
A 973 MB LOW 270 NM SOUTH OF SITKA MON NIGHT. THE LOW ITSELF IS
PROGGED TO HEAD DUE EASTWARD TOWARD BRITISH COLUMBIA BUT A TROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE GULF COAST IN ITS WAKE.
TEMPERATURES AT 850 MB WILL WARM ONLY SLIGHTLY. EXPECT MORE VERY COLD
SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND NORTHERLY GAP WINDS ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA IN THE COMING WEEK.
A LARGE 958 LOW 630 NM SOUTH OF SHEMYA MON MORNING WILL MOVE TO 240
NM SOUTH OF ADAK MONDAY NIGHT AT 964 MB THEN WEAKEN RAPIDLY AS IT
HEADS EASTWARD.
