SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKST FRI JAN 28 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT HANDLING THE SERIES OF LOWS MOVING FROM
THE NORTH PACIFIC INTO THE EASTERN BERING SEA. TIMING DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE EC AND GFS RUNS YESTERDAY FOR THE SATURDAY FORECAST ARE
NOW RESOLVED.  PREFERENCE WAS GIVEN TO THE EC/NAM SOLUTION.  TODAY
THE GFS HAS COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER MODELS.  DIFFERENCES
BEGIN TO SHOW BY LATE SUNDAY WITH THE NEXT LOW MOVING TO BRISTOL BAY.
THE EC AND GFS ARE IN CLOSE AGREEMENT WHEREAS THE NAM FAILS TO PICK
UP THIS LOW.  HPC WENT WITH THE GFS FROM DAY 4 TO 6.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDS FROM THE ARCTIC COAST
THROUGH THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA AND SOUTHWARD.  AN UPPER LOW IS
OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN BERING SEA.  THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE POLAR JET STREAM
CURVES NORTHWARD FROM SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS TO THE BERING STRAIT.
AT THE SURFACE A SERIES OF LOWS ARE FORECAST TO TRACK FROM SOUTH OF
THE ALEUTIANS TO BRISTOL BAY BETWEEN TODAY AND NEXT WEDNESDAY. THIS
PATTERN WILL PROVIDE A STEADY FLOW OF WARM MOIST AIR OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA AND WILL MAINTAIN A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
IN THE EASTERN BERING AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA WIND AND SHOWERS WILL
DIMINISH/END TONIGHT AS THE BERING LOW WEAKENS AND MOVES NORTH. WINDS
AND RAIN/SNOW WILL INCREASE SATURDAY AS THE NEXT LOW MOVES NORTH
REACHING BRISTOL BAY BY LATE SATURDAY.  EXPECT ONLY A SHORT BREAK AS
THE NEXT LOW WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA SUNDAY REACHING BRISTOL BAY LATE
SUNDAY.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK RANGE...GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND FOR INTERIOR ZONES. THE DECAYING FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE BERING LOW WILL BRING SOME RAIN AND SNOW TO
KODIAK ISLAND AND TONIGHT AND TO SOUTHERN COOK INLET EARLY SATURDAY.
A SECOND FRONT WILL SPREAD RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE SAME AREAS SATURDAY
AND SATURDAY NIGHT. A THIRD FRONT WILL SPREAD RAIN ANS SNOW OVER
KODIAK ISLAND...COOK INLET AND LIKELY PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.  STRONG EAST AND SOUTHEAST WINDS CHANNELED BY TERRAIN WILL
BEGIN SATURDAY AND INCREASE SUNDAY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL AS THE SURFACE
PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES OVER THE AREA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
MODELS TEND TO STOP TRACKING LOWS INTO THE EASTERN BERING AFTER
TUESDAY.  THE WEATHER TREND WILL BE COOLER AND DRYER FOR SOUTHWEST
ALASKA AND MILD AND DAMP FOR SOUTH CENTRAL.  EXPECT FREQUENT RAIN AND
SNOW ALONG THE GULF COAST AS WEAKENING FRONTS MOVE ONSHORE FROM THE
SOUTH. SOME SNOW MAY MAKE IT INTO THE INTERIOR ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
DIEING FRONTS.  CHANNELED WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH IN SOUTH CENTRAL.
