NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
452 AM ADT TUE MAR 25 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ALOFT...RIDGE OVER RUSSIA AND FAR NORTH BEAUFORT SEA SLOWLY
WEAKENING THROUGH 00Z FRI. LOW OVER GULF OF ALASKA WEAKENING INTO
TROUGH WHICH SLIDES EAST TOWARD CANADA...BUT WEAK CIRCULATION OVER
INTERIOR AND WEST COAST COMPOSED OF SEVERAL LOWS WILL FORM A
COMPLEX LOW OVER WESTERN ALASKA THROUGH 00Z FRI.

SURFACE...1044 MB HIGH 500 MILES NORTHWEST OF BARROW WEAKENING TO
1033 MB 00Z FRI. 1002 COMPLEX LOW OVER GULF OF ALASKA SLOWLY
WEAKENING AND DRIFTING EAST.

MODELS...IN THE SHORT TERM BOTH THE GFS AND WRF ARE ONCE AGAIN
QUICK TO WEAKEN THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE SOUTHERN
BROOKS RANGE...SO WILL INSTEAD WILL PLAN ON THE WINDS NOT
DIMINISHING AS FAST...HAVE THUS CONTINUED THE HAZARDS THERE FOR
WIND OR WINTER WEATHER THROUGH TODAY. IN THE MEDIUM TERM
UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES. AS THE UPPER PATTERN BREAKS DOWN IN THE
HIGH ARCTIC IT WILL ALLOW FOR SOME INTERACTION BETWEEN THE
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS. IT APPEARS THAT THE UPPER TROUGH
IN THE GULF WILL BECOME RAGGED ENOUGH THAT IT WILL PUSH OUT INTO
BRITISH COLUMBIA WITH SOME RIDGING IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING
TROUGH AND ADDITIONAL ENERGY FROM THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
BRANCHES THAT PUSHES INTO THE BERING SEA AND SOUTHERN ALEUTIANS.
FOR NOW WILL TREND TEMPERATURES UP A BIT AND CLOSER TO THE
ENSEMBLE MEAN BY THE WEEKEND.

NORTH SLOPE...WILL KEEP WIND CHILL HAZARDS GOING FOR TODAY. WINDS
OVERALL WILL LIKELY NOT INCREASE ANY AND WILL DROP A LITTLE THIS
PM...SO BY EVENING THE HAZARDS COULD END MOST PLACES. WHILE SOME
HIGHER CLOUDS WILL DRIFT OVER THE AREA FROM EAST TO WEST...NO
SIGNIFICANT SNOW EXPECTED.

WESTERN ALASKA...WINDS SLOWLY COMING DOWN OVER OUTER WATERS TODAY.
OTHERWISE SPOTTY SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AS
THE COMPLEX UPPER LOW GETS ESTABLISHED OVER THE AREA AND PERSISTS.

CENTRAL/EASTERN INTERIOR...ONE VORT MAX OVER NORTHERN ZONE 224 -
WEST OF EAGLE...WILL DRIFT NORTHWEST NEXT 24 HOURS AND EVENTUALLY
JOIN THE COMPLEX LOW FORMING OVER WESTERN ALASKA...BUT FOR TODAY
EXPECT AREAS OF SNOW FROM THIS FEATURE OVER ZONES 218 219 220
WITH AN INCH OR TWO ACCUMULATION ZONES 218 AND 220...AND A FEW
SNOW SHOWERS FOR NORTHERN PARTS OF 221 AND 222.
