Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 4:13 AM AKST, 2 hours 57 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
413 AM AKST SUN FEB 22 2009
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE
MAINLAND...BUT DIVERGE OVER THE BERING SEA AS TIMING AND STRENGTH
DIFFERENCES OF SHORTWAVES PIVOTING AROUND THE DOMINANT VORTEX OVER
EASTERN SIBERIA BEGIN TO EMERGE SUNDAY NIGHT. FOR THE MEDIUM RANGE
THE ECMWF IS STILL THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR ITS BETTER CONSISTENCY
WITH PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS IN HANDLING THE PROGRESSIVE WEATHER PATTERN.
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE ALASKA RANGE IS MOVING THROUGH THE RIDGE
AXIS...AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CLOUDY SKIES CURRENTLY OVER THE ALASKA
RANGE AND MOST OF THE COOK INLET REGION. NO PRECIPITATION IS
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THIS WAVE GIVEN LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE DRYING THROUGH
A LARGE PART OF THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE
STATE THERE IS LINGERING WARM ADVECTION PRECIPITATION LEFT OVER FROM
A DECAYING FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE LOWER KUSKOKWIM VALLEY THROUGH
THE AKPEN. ANOTHER FRONT EXTENDING FROM AN INTENSE STACKED LOW JUST
EAST OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA IS MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL BERING
AND ALEUTIANS...WITH A STRONG SOUTHERLY JET SUPPORTING GALE FORCE
WINDS AND RAIN SHOWERS.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...PRESSURE GRADIENT CONTINUES TO
SLACKEN OVER THE COPPER RIVER DELTA ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO DIMINISH.
MOSTLY BENIGN WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT AS A
STRONG UPPER RIDGE REMAINS STATIONARY EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE WITH
WEAK RIDGING AT THE SURFACE. A POTENT-LOOKING SHORTWAVE APPROACHES
FROM THE WEST TUESDAY...BUT THE CURRENT LACK OF ANY NOTABLE SURFACE
FEATURE AND THE VERY DRY ANTECEDENT ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW
FOR ONLY VERY LIGHT PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE REGION...IF ANY. THUS
WILL GO WITH ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW FOR TUESDAY NIGHT IN
ANCHORAGE. WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP WITH THIS FEATURE AND MOVE
QUICKLY TO THE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF...BRINGING A CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA TUESDAY NIGHT.
TRANSITORY RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE ALASKA RANGE TUESDAY NIGHT
AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE BERING SEA.
WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...THE WEATHER FRONT CURRENTLY BRINGING GALES
TO THE CENTRAL BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE EAST TODAY AND
ONSHORE IN A MUCH WEAKER STATE TONIGHT...AS ALL OF THE ENERGY WITH
THIS SYSTEM IS AGAIN PUSHED WELL TO THE NORTH THROUGH THE BERING
STRAIT. SUBSIDENCE DRYING WITH THE COLD ADVECTION WILL LARGELY BE
OFFSET BY SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE BERING BEHIND THIS FRONT FOR
SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT DISTURBANCE WITH AN ASSOCIATED
997 MB LOW NEAR 50N 170E WILL MOVE INTO THE BERING AND BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF GALES AS IT SLOWLY WEAKENS MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THIS
IS QUICKLY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WITH A STRONGER 993 MB LOW
THROUGH THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WHICH WILL INTENSIFY RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES
NORTH INTO THE CENTRAL BERING TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING
STORM FORCE WINDS TO MOST OF THE BERING AND A GOOD CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STRONG SYSTEM WILL
LIKELY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE AKPEN AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA REGIONS VERY
LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IN THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN SPLITS OVER THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND THURSDAY...BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE OF UNSETTLED WEATHER TO
THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND AND KODIAK ISLAND. THE PATTERN LOOKS CONTINUED
WARM AND UNSETTLED OUT WEST HEADING TOWARDS THE WEEKEND...WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM THAT COULD BRING STORM FORCE
WINDS TO THE BERING THURSDAY...RAIN AND SNOW TO THE MAINLAND WEST OF
THE ALASKA RANGE FRIDAY...AND THEN PROGRESSING EAST THROUGH THE COOK
INLET REGION FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
