Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 2:50 PM AKST, 5 hours 48 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 250 PM AKST SUN JAN 10 2010 .DISCUSSION... MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH ABOUT 60 HOURS. THE GFS HAS CAME MORE IN LINE WITH THAT OF THE ECMWF IN TERMS OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SLIDING SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE ARCTIC COAST BY MID WEEK. CURRENT COLD AIR BEING SUPPLIED TO THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE STATE WITH SURFACE HIGH SLIDING EASTWARD AND ASSOCIATED COLD AIR POOL SINKING SOUTHWARD. THE DEEP LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA COMBINED WITH THE HIGH NEAR THE ARCTIC SLOPE IS CREATING STRONG WINDS THROUGH THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE STATE. THE TANANA VALLEY JET WILL EVENTUALLY KICK IN AND INCREASE THE WINDS THROUGH DELTA JUNCTION AND THEN DROP THE WIND CHILLS TO ADVISORY CRITERIA. THE WINDS HAVE PICKED UP NEAR NORTHWAY...NENANA AND TANANA WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF THE JET BUILDING. SOME GENTLE WARMING ALOFT OVER THE ARCTIC COAST WILL OCCUR TONIGHT AND SUNDAY BEFORE THE DEEP COLD LOW MOVING OUT OF THE ARCTIC WILL IMPINGE ON NORTHERN ALASKA AND BRING ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AIR. THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON HOW FAR SOUTH THIS COLD AIR WILL SPILL. BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKELY THAT THE WEST COAST WILL SEE MORE OF THE COLD AIR THIS NEXT TIME AROUND. PRECIPITATION AROUND THE STATE WILL BE SCARCE FOR AWHILE. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WIND CHILL WATCH FOR AKZ202-AKZ203-AKZ204. WIND ADVISORY FOR AKZ215. WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR AKZ216.
