NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
253 PM AKDT WED MAR 25 2009

.DISCUSSION...LOW-PRESSURE COMPLEX ALONG THE SOUTHERN COAST OF
ALASKA. MAIN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS FEATURE IS INCREASED PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE CWA AND ASSOCIATED LOCAL WINDY AREAS. MOST
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IS ALONG PORTIONS OF THE DALTON HIGHWAY IN THE
INTERIOR WHERE BLOWING SNOW AND LOCAL LOW WIND CHILLS ARE ALSO A
CONCERN.

SOUTH WINDS THROUGH THE ALASKA RANGE PASSES HAVE SOME MODERATE
SUPPORT ALOFT AT 700MB. AS THE LOW ALONG THE COAST MOVES EAST OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS...UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR CHINOOK FLOW WILL
ERODE FROM WEST TO EAST. EXPECT GUSTS AS STRONG AS 60 MPH TO
PERSIST LONGEST IN ISABEL PASS IN ZONE 226...NOT DIMINISHING UNTIL
THU AFTERNOON.

WEST COAST IMPACTS PRIMARILY IN THE MARINE AREAS AND ZONE 213
WHERE GALE FORCE WINDS ON THE COLD ADVECTION BACK SIDE OF THE LOW
IS STRONGEST.

NORTH SLOPE WIND CHILLS WILL BE LOWEST IN ZONE 205 TONIGHT...OTHER
PORTIONS OF NORTH SLOPE DO NOT HAVE OPTIMAL COMBINATION OF COLD
TEMPERATURES AND STRONGER WINDS.

FOR THE EXTENDED RANGE...LONG-WAVE FORECAST IS FAIRLY CERTAIN.
EXPECT MEAN TROUGH ALOFT TO REMAIN ALONG WESTERN ALASKA COAST AND
EASTERN BERING SEA. THIS LOW-HEIGHT PATTERN SHOULD PREVENT ANY
SERIOUS WARM-UP FROM OCCURRING FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
