NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
314 PM AKDT TUE OCT 7 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
THE LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER MAINLAND ALASKA WILL RETROGRADE OVER
WESTERN ALASKA THU AND FRI. THIS MEANS BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WED NIGHT AND THEN WILL SEE WARMING EASTERN
INTERIOR AS A STRONG CHINOOK DEVELOPS THU NIGHT.

A 972 MB LOW NORTH OF BANKS ISLAND WILL MOVE NORTH TONIGHT. A LOW
PRESSURE TROUGH FROM THIS LOW TO CAPE HALKETT WILL MOVE TO BARTER
ISLAND NORTHEAST BY 4AM WED AND THEN MOVE EAST. THIS IS CAUSING
SNOW AND WESTERLY GALES IN THE EASTERN ARCTIC COAST NOW THAT WILL
DECREASE OVERNIGHT AS THE TROUGH MOVES EAST AND WEAKENS. THIS IS
ALSO CAUSING HEAVY SURF BUT NO SIGNIFICANT RISE IN IN SEA HEIGHTS
HAS BEEN REPORTED.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN CHUKCHI SEA AND EASTERN BERING SEAS WILL
BUILD EAST OVER THE WEST COAST AND ARCTIC COAST OF ALASKA WED AND
THEN MOVE NORTH OF THE ARCTIC COAST ON THU. WINDS WILL DECREASE
THROUGH WED UNDER THIS HIGH. SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS CAUSED BY THE
COLD AIR WITH THIS HIGH ARE OCCURRING IN ONSHORE FLOW, BUT WILL
DIMINISH WED AS FLOW TURNS OFFSHORE.

A TROUGH ALOFT FROM AMBLER TO BETHEL WILL MOVE TO AMBLER GLENNALLEN
BY 4PM WED AND TO THE BROOKS RANGE BY 4PM THU. THERE ARE FLURRIES
EAST OF THE TROUGH AND CLEARING TO THE SOUTHWEST.

A SMALL LOW ALOFT OVER DENALI WILL DRIFT TO NENANA TONIGHT AND
DISSIPATE OVER THE FORT YUKON AREA WED. SNOW SHOWERS WITH THIS WILL
DIMINISH AS IT MOVES NORTH, BUT SOME AREAS MAY RECEIVE UP TO ONE
INCH TONIGHT.

THE STRONG LOW MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING WED NIGHT WILL
SPREAD A FRONT TO THE BRISTOL BAY COAST THU AND OVER THE INTERIOR
FRI. THIS WILL BRING NORTHERLY GALES TO THE NORTHERN BERING AND
WEST COAST THU INTO FRI WHILE IT BRINGS STRONG CHINOOK WINDS TO
THE ALASKA RANGE THU PM INTO FRI.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS INITIALIZE FAIRLY WELL THOUGH NOT QUITE DEEP ENOUGH ON THE
LOW IN NW ALASKA OR THE ONE OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA. MODELS
FOLLOW SAME GENERAL PATTERN. GFS CONTINUE TO MOVE THE LOW JUST
NORTH OF BANKS ISLAND NORTHWARD MORE QUICKLY THAN THE NAM. GIVEN
THE TRACK SPEED OF THIS LOW FAVOR THE GFS ON THIS FEATURE.

THE DEEP LOW MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING WED NIGHT IS ALMOST
15 MB DEEPER AND THE GFS THAN THE NAM. AGAIN FAVOR THE GFS DUE TO
THE STRONG DYNAMICS NOW SOUTHWEST OF SHEMYA SUPPORTING THIS.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NORTH GALES ALL OF WEST
COAST THU AND FRI. WILL SEE HEAVY SURF BERING STRAIT AND ST
LAWRENCE ISLAND. SHISHMAREF DOESNT LOOK AS BAD SINCE WINDS THERE
ARE MORE NORTHEAST.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...FREEZE UP UNDER WAY.

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING FOR PKZ240-PKZ245.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ210-PKZ240-PKZ245.
