SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
100 PM AKST THU JAN 27 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...GFS AND ECWMF IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON CURRENT
ALEUTIAN SYSTEM AS IT TRACKS TO THE NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT 36
HOURS...NAM IS SLOWER AND A BIT WEAKER. TWO OTHER SYSTEMS OF INTEREST
IN THE WEST.  A LOW THAT DEVELOPS JUST OFF SOUTHEAST TIP OF KAMCHATKA
IS PROGED TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST ON SAT...LIKE EC SOLUTION BETTER
AS LOW IS FURTHER TO THE WEST. SECOND SYSTEM IS LOW THAT MOVES SOUTH
OF SAND POINT ON SAT MORNING.  APPEARS THAT NAM AND EC ARE BETTER
SOLUTIONS.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...HIGH PRESSURE OVER MAINLAND AND EASTERN
GULF DUE TO UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. MAIN ENERGY IS WITH ALEUTIAN SYSTEM...FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM LOOKS AS IT STALLS OUT OVER NORTHERN AK PEN AND WESTERN
CAPES.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
BERING REGION...HIGH SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER EASTERN AL AND AK PEN
SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH TONIGHT.  STRONG NW WINDS AND SNOW OVER THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SHOULD ALSO DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. LOW CENTER MOVES
OVER PRIBS THIS EVENING SO WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AROUND MIDNIGHT BUT
INCREASING FRI MORNING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST.  ALSO EXPECT SOUTHWEST
FLOW FRI NIGHT THROUGH SUN MORNING IN WESTERN BERING. NEXT PACIFIC
STORM SHOULD START TO IMPACT SOUTHERN AK PEN SAT MORNING...WOULD
EXPECT SNOW POSSIBLY TURNING TO RAIN IN AFTERNOON ALTHOUGH NAM 850 MB
TEMPS REMAIN BELOW -5C.

SOUTHWEST...FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON.  LOOKS LIKE PRECIP IS
GOING TO BE LIGHT INLAND BUT SOME SUBSTANTIAL SE TO NE WINDS. TEMPS
SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH THAT SNOW IS REASONABLY HEAVY...SOMEWHAT
DIMINISHING CHANCES OF BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. HOWEVER MUCH OF THE AREA
SHOULD EXPERIENCE POOR VISIBILITIES TONIGHT AND FRI MORNING. THESE
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH FRI NIGHT.

SOUTHCENTRAL...GENERALLY CLEAR WITH TEMPS SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN NORMAL
THU NIGHT THROUGH FRI.  MODELS INDICATING FRONT MOVING OVER KODIAK IS
FRI MORNING WHICH SHOULD GENERATE SOME SNOW AND RAIN. REMNANT OF
FRONT MOVES UP COOK INLET FRI NIGHT BUT LOOKS QUITE WEAK BY THEN SO
ONLY EXPECTING CLOUDS WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF PRECIP AT THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...WITH UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER EASTERN PORTION OF
STATE AND GULF THE MAIN AREA OF INTEREST IS THE NORTH PACIFIC SYSTEM
THAT MOVES UP NEAR SAND POINT ON SAT AND BEYOND.  LOOKS AS IF THIS
SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE INTO THE BRISTOL AREA SUN.  SOME MODEL DIFFERENCES
SO NOT SURE ON DETAILS BUT MOST LIKELY SEE SNOW AND RAIN WIDESPREAD
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ZONES.  EC MODEL INDICATING A TROUGH IN WESTERN GULF
SUN AFTERNOON WHICH COULD GENERATE SOME SNOW FOR COOK INLET AFTER I
MOVES OVER KODIAK ISLAND WITH RAIN AND SNOW.
