Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 3:00 PM AKDT, 13 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA 300 PM AKDT SUN MAR 8 2009 .MODEL DISCUSSION...USING GFS TODAY. NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM THE PATTERN OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. MODERATE STORM DRIFTING OVER THE NORTHWEST BERING NEAR 180. NEXT SYSTEM OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TO NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF ST MATHEW ISLAND MON AFTERNOON. ONLY EXPECT GALES WITH THIS THING. HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE BRIEF STORMS IN THE ALUTIANS THIS EVENING. HIGH CONTINUES TO SLIDE AWAY IN TO CANADA AND LEAVES A MILDER SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN ALASKA, STRONGEST WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE OUT TO THE COAST. EXPECT LIGHT PRECITATION MAINLY ALONG WINDWARD TERRAIN AS THE WEAKENING FRONT DRIFTS EAST. FRONT SHOULD MOVE TO LIE ALONG 147W CURVING NORTHWEST ACROSS THE SUSITNA VALLEY BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON MONDAY. .LONGER RANGE...SYSTEMS THIS WEEK WILL BE MUCH MUCH WEAKEN ACROSSW THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING THAN THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. GFS MODEL TAKES A LOW NORTHWARD FROM THE PACIFIC AND MOVES IT TO NEAR OR JUST WEST OF MIDDLETON ILSE THURSDAY MORNING. AT THIS POINT LOOKS LIKE ONLY MINIMUM GALES WITH THIS KODIAK AND THE NORTH GULF COAST WITH THE CENTRAL PRESSURE FALLING TO ABOUT 994 MB.
