SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
130 PM AKST SAT JAN 15 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON WEAK NORTHERN GULF
TROUGH THAT CONTINUES TO DEVELOP TODAY. SHOULD BOTTOM OUT AROUND 998
MB SUN EVENING AND HELP KEEP PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER COPPER RIVER
BASIN STRONG. ALL MODELS ALSO HINTING AT SOME TYPE OF WEAK LOW
FORMING MON NE OF KODIAK ISLAND WHICH COULD GENERATE SOME SNOW
SHOWERS ON SO. KENAI PEN MON EVENING AND TUE.
    THE MAJOR WEATHER ISSUE IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A VERY STRONG LOW
SW OF THE ATTU ON SUN.  ALL MODELS PORTRAIT A DEEP LOW WITH A MAX
CENTRAL PRESSURE IN THE 945 TO 935 MB RANGE EARLY MON.  SOME MODEL
DIFFERENCE ON NATURE OF SECONDARY LOW THAT FORMS TO THE EAST ALONG
175W MON MORNING...GFS TENDS TO BE DEEPER SOLUTION WITH NAM CLOSE
BEHIND.  THIS LOW IS THEN PROGED TO MOVE INTO WESTERN ALEUTIANS NEAR
DATELINE LATE TUE MORNING AROUND 945 MB.  DESPITE THE MODEL
DIFFERENCES THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR...A SERIES OF POWERFUL STORMS WILL
MOVE INTO THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BEGINNING SUN EVENING.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...DEEP COLD AIR CONTINUES TO RESIDE OVER
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE WITH RELATIVELY WARMER AIR TO THE WEST
DUE TO VERY HIGH PRESSURE.  EXPECTING STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OUT OF
SOUTHERN COPPER RIVER BASIN TO CONTINUE THROUGH SUN NIGHT AND THEN
DIMINISH.  CONTINUED COLD AND CLEAR EAST OF 155W OVER WEEKEND.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...LITTLE CHANGE IN STORE THROUGH MON.  COLD IN AREAS OF
LIGHT WINDS. NORTH WINDS IN MTN PASSES TO CONTINUE.

SOUTHWEST...SHOULD REMAIN GENERALLY CLEAR AND COLD. COLDEST TEMPS IN
LOW LYING AREAS.

BERING SEA...WEAK SURFACE LOW FORMING OVER PRIBILOF ISLANDS DUE TO
UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING FROM THE EAST SHOULD GENERATE SOME SCATTERED
SNOW SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY OVER THE CENTRAL BERING.
ALSO SOME COOLER SURFACE TEMPS WITH THIS BRIEF DISTURBANCE.
    FIRST STRONG FRONT SHOULD IMPACT WESTERN ALEUTIANS SUN EVENING
AND INTO EASTERN ALEUTIANS MON EVENING. RIGHT NOW WE ARE ADVERTISING
50 TO 55 KT WINDS IN THE MARINE ZONES BUT COULD BE PUSHED HIGHER AS
MODELS ATTEMPTED TO ZERO IN ON SOLUTION.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...MAJOR EVENT IS FRONT AND ASSOCIATED LOWS IN THE
WESTERN BERING CONTINUING THROUGH WED. MAIN FRONT ALTHOUGH WEAKENED
MOVES OVER AK PEN EARLY WED WITH CONSIDERABLE PUNCH.  THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR THIS FRONT TO REACH COOK INLET WED NIGHT BRING CLOUDS
