WINDY DAY IN STORE FOR CENTRAL AND NORTHERN COAST AND NORTHERN
INLAND AREAS.
06Z NAM AND 00Z ECMWF MODELS WERE PREFERRED SLIGHTLY OVER 00Z GFS
BASED ON INITIALIZATION OF SFC PATTERN. ALL MODELS AGREE THE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTER TO THE SW THIS MORNING WILL BUILD STRONGLY NWD
OVER THE GULF AND PANHANDLE THROUGH TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...STRONG
W-SW WINDS AT RIDGE TOP LEVEL ARE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN LEE SIDE
PRESSURE TROUGHING EAST OF THE COAST RANGE. THE COMBINATION OF
QUICKLY RISING PRESSURES FROM THE SOUTH AND STEADY OR FALLING
PRESSURES INLAND SUPPORT WINDY FORECAST GUIDANCE. GFS IS FASTEST
IN BUILDING THE RIDGE IN WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR GFS MOS GUIDANCE
OF SUSTAINED WINDS OVER 40 KTS IN SKAGWAY FROM 21Z-03Z.
PERIOD OF STRONG WINDS WILL COMMENCE WITH ,ID LEVEL TROUGH
PASSAGE MORNING HRS FRI. CAPE SPENCER LIGHT IS GUSTING INTO THE
60S ALREADY THIS MORNING SO GALE WRNG IN EFFECT FOR CROSS SND
WILL BE BUMPED UP TO STORM. THIS TROUGH ALSO MARKS BOUNDARY FROM
STRATIFORM TO MORE SHOWERY CONDITIONS. MODELS PREDICT QUITE
UNSTABLE AIR SWINGING INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVE
SO INCLUDED MENTIONS OF THUNDERSHOWERS IN THE FCST. STEADY SNOW
OVER NORTHERN HIGHWAY PASSES IS ENDING SO THE WSW FOR HEAVY SNOW
WAS CANCELED. SHOWERS MAY BE HEAVY ENOUGH TO MIX DOWN WINDS /50
KT/ AND COLDER AIR /-14C/ AT 850 MB HENCE MENTION OF SNOW IN MANY
ZONES OVER YAKUTAT BY SAT MORNING.
.LONG TERM...MODELS DIVERGE FAIRLY QUICKLY DURING THE LONG RANGE
PERIOD...WITH THE LATE WEEKEND SYSTEM BEING HANDLED DIFFERENTLY
BY THEM. THE GFS IS FURTHER SE AND WEAKER WITH THE LOW THAN THE
UKMET/ECMWF ARE. BEYOND THIS SYSTEM...THE MODEL SPREAD GETS VERY
LARGE. FOR THIS REASON...DECIDED TO NOT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FROM SAT ONWARD. THE CURRENT GRIDS WERE
FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE ECMWF/UKMET SCENARIO FOR THE LATE WEEKEND LOW
SO FELT THAT THE CURRENT GRIDS WERE A GOOD COMPROMISE ON THAT
SYSTEM. DID USE THE 23/12Z HPC GRIDS TO EXTEND GRIDS OUT TO DAY
8. ALL IN ALL...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY LOW IN THE LONG
RANGE.
