NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
415 AM AKST WED DEC 29 2010

.DISCUSSION...
A FAIRLY ACTIVE PATTERN ACROSS THE NORTH PAC DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS.  HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT A SERIES OF LOWS WILL FLUSH OUT THE COLD
AIR THAT HAS BEEN ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE INTERIOR SINCE EARLY
DECEMBER. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED JUST IN TIME FOR
THE START OF THE NEW YEAR. IN THE SHORT TERM...THE MAIN CONCERN
WILL CONTINUE TO BE FOR AREAS OF LOW WIND CHILLS AND BLOWING SNOW.

ALOFT...THE UPPER HIGH THAT HAS BEEN CAMPED OUT ACROSS EASTERN
SIBERIA SINCE SAT WILL RETROGRADE AND BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS AN UPPER
LOW NOW ACROSS NW ALASKA MOVES SLOWLY SW THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND
INTO THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. A FAST SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE
FROM THE NORTH-CENTRAL PAC AND INTO THE GULF OF AK FOR SEVERAL
DAYS TO COME. A RIDGE WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS WESTERN CANADA
AND INTO EASTERN ALASKA DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

SURFACE...A COLD HIGH CONTINUES TO SIT UP ACROSS THE BROOKS RANGE.
THE MODELS TRY TO BREAK DOWN THIS FEATURE TODAY...WHICH TENDS TO BE
A BIAS IN THE MODELS WHEN THERE IS A DEEP COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE.
WOULD EXPECT THAT THIS SURFACE RIDGE HOLDS ON FOR NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. A 968 MB LOW NEAR THE SOUTHERN ALEUTIANS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WITH A SECONDARY LOW TO DEVELOP TONIGHT
THAT BECOMES THE PRIMARY LOW NEAR KODIAK ISLAND THURSDAY EVENING.
THE LOW THEN MOVES INTO THE WESTERN INTERIOR AND WEAKENS FRIDAY.
ANOTHER LOW QUICKLY FOLLOWS ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST LOW AND MOVES
INTO SW ALASKA SATURDAY...AND THE SECOND LOW LOOKS TO PACK MORE
OF A PUNCH AS IT LIFTS NORTH ALONG THE WEST COAST OVER THE
WEEKEND.

NORTH SLOPE...A SURFACE RIDGE INDUCED BY A DEEP COLD AIRMASS ACROSS
THE BROOKS RANGE AND COASTAL PLAIN WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN PLACE FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS DESPITE THE MODELS TRYING TO BREAK DOWN THE
RIDGE TODAY.  A SOUTHWEST WIND OF AROUND 15 MPH ALONG THE CENTRAL
BEAUFORT SEA COAST IS COMBINING WITH TEMPS OF 40 TO 45 BELOW TO
PRODUCE WIND CHILLS TO 75 BELOW. WILL KEEP THE WIND CHILL WARNING
IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT DESPITE THE FACT THE MODELS WOULD BREAK
DOWN THE RIDGE AND HAVE THE WINDS TURN INTO THE NORTHEAST AND
BECOME QUITE LIGHT BY LATER TODAY. SAME STORY ALONG THE EASTERN
BEAUFORT SEA COAST...BUT WIND CHILLS ARE NOT AS LOW AS THE
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT AS LOW. THE SECOND SHORTWAVE THAT LIFTS
NORTH ALONG THE WEST COAST OVER THE WEEKEND WILL LIKELY BE THE
DRIVING FORCE FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT MODERATION...AND SOME SPOTS
THAT ARE NOW HOOVERING NEAR 50 BELOW ON THE ARCTIC COASTAL PLAIN MAY
SEE TEMPS NORTH OF ZERO BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. DRY WEATHER IS
EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR SNOW THIS
WEEKEND AS A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES LIFT NORTH.

INTERIOR...TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY TRICKY THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS AS THERE IS A MODERATELY COLD AIRMASS WITH A DEEP
INVERSION AT 850 MB. WHERE THERE IS STRATUS TEMPERATURES ARE MOSTLY
JUST A BIT BELOW ZERO.  IN CLEAR AREAS TEMPERATURES ARE 20 TO 30
DEGREES LOWER.  NOT MUCH OF A CHANGE IN THE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS
THROUGH TONIGHT WITH SIGNIFICANT WARMING COMMENCING THURSDAY
AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES FROM NEAR KODIAK
ISLAND AND INTO THE WESTERN INTERIOR AND FLUSHES OUT THE COLDER
AIRMASS.  THERE MAYBE A BRIEF SHOT OF WARM ADVECTION SNOW ACROSS
PARTS OF THE WESTERN INTERIOR ON THURSDAY WITH MORE WIDESPREAD SNOW
ACROSS THE WESTERN INTERIOR FRIDAY THE ASSOCIATED STRONG SHORTWAVE
ALOFT LIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. AREAS DOWNWIND OF THE AK RANGE SHOULD
REMAIN DRY OR AT LEAST MOSTLY SO DUE TO THE DOWN-SLOPE FLOW.

WEST COAST...WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE TEMPS AND WINDS DURING
THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS FOR WIND CHILL CONCERNS. AS EXPECTED MANY
OF THE WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WERE RE-ISSUED FOR SEVERAL WEST
COAST ZONES THIS MORNING...AND WIND CHILL ADVISORIES ARE NOW OUT
FOR ZONES 207-208-211-212-213-217. THE AIRMASS MODERATES
SIGNIFICANTLY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AND THE CHANCE OF SNOW WILL BE
ON THE INCREASE FRIDAY AS A STRONG SHORTWAVE LIFTS NORTH.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
