SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT FRI MAR 18 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PRESENT OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA
WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE OVER THE WEST COAST OF THE STATE. A
WEAKER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS CENTERED NEAR THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE
ISLANDS NEAR SOUTHEAST ALASKA. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT WEATHER FEATURE
REMAINS THE WEAKENING - BUT STILL STRONG - LOW THAT HAS MOVED
NORTHWARD INTO THE BERING SEA. THE CENTRAL PRESSURE OF THIS LOW IS
CURRENTLY ESTIMATED AROUND 950 MB. THERE IS AN ASSOCIATED WEATHER
FRONT THAT IS APPROACHING THE EASTERN BERING SEA...AND IS SHOWING
DEFINITE SIGNS OF WEAKENING ON SATELLITE AS THE STRONG 200 KT
SUBTROPICAL JET SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS HELPS TO PULL THIS FRONT
APART. FURTHER EAST...LARGE-SCALE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS PERSIST OVER
MUCH OF THE STATE. WIDESPREAD CLOUDINESS PERSISTS FROM COOK INLET
THROUGH ANCHORAGE AND INTO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. THESE CLOUDS ARE
GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE RESIDUAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT
BROUGHT SNOW TO MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL YESTERDAY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...THE MOST IMMEDIATE DISCREPANCY AMONG THE MODELS
HAS BEEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW LOW THAT MOVES INTO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA SATURDAY. WHILE SOME DISAGREEMENT REMAINS...OVERALL MODEL
SOLUTIONS ARE MUCH CLOSER WITH THIS FEATURE...WITH THE GFS THE
PREFERRED TRACK THIS MORNING. THIS BRINGS A STRONG LOW INTO THE
BERING SEA SATURDAY EVENING AND TO NUNIVAK ISLAND BY SUNDAY MORNING.
FOR THE START OF THE WEEK...MODEL AGREEMENT FALLS APART
DRAMATICALLY...WITH CONFIDENCE IN SPECIFIC WEATHER FEATURES BELOW
AVERAGE FOR THE ENTIRELY OF THE COMING WEEK.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...THE WEATHER OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WILL
REMAIN RELATIVELY CALM DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE
OVER WESTERN ALASKA THROUGH THE START OF THE WEEKEND. WIDESPREAD
CLOUDINESS OVER COOK INLET AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN HAS PROVED
DIFFICULT TO DISSIPATE OVERNIGHT...AND IS NOW EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE FINALLY DIMINISHING. AS THIS
HAPPENS...AM EXPECTING SOME AREAS OF FOG TO DEVELOP IN INLAND AREAS
THIS EVENING CONSIDERING RECENT SNOWFALL AND LIGHT WINDS.

FURTHER WEST...THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONG WESTERN BERING
LOW IS BEING RIPPED APART AS IT APPROACHES THE COAST OF SOUTHWEST
ALASKA. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS CURRENTLY OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA
WILL DIMINISH AS THE FRONT MOVES TOWARD THE COAST...WITH THE
STRONGEST WINDS BEING LIMITED TO COASTAL AREAS. RAIN AND SNOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT MAY ALSO BRIEFLY TOUCH COASTAL AREAS BUT IS
NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE MUCH PROGRESS INLAND BEFORE DISSIPATING. THE
NEXT WEATHERMAKER IS A LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP SATURDAY MORNING SOUTH
OF DUTCH HARBOR AND MOVE INTO THE BERING SEA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS
LOW WILL NOT BE AS DEEP AS THE LOW CURRENTLY IN THE BERING SEA...BUT
WILL GENERATE COMPARABLE WIND SPEEDS BECAUSE IT WILL BE INTERACTING
MORE DIRECTLY WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE RESIDENT OVER MAINLAND ALASKA
FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS. BECAUSE THE STRONGEST WINDS WITH THIS
FAST MOVING LOW WILL ALSO BE INTERACTING WITH THE SIGNIFICANT TERRAIN
OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA...SOME WIND SPEED ENHANCEMENT DUE TO LOCAL
FUNNELING IS POSSIBLE. THUS WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR SATURDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. DEPENDING ON HOW QUICKLY
TEMPERATURES WARM UP THERE MAY ALSO BE SOME BLOWING SNOW OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA SATURDAY EVENING. FOR NOW...WILL USE GENERIC WORDING
IN THE FORECAST WITH DETAILS TO BE REFINED IN SUBSEQUENT FORECAST
PACKAGES.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...FOR NEXT WEEK...MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A
RETURN TO MORE PROGRESSIVE WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE STATE. THIS MEANS
MANY WEATHER FEATURES WILL BE FAST MOVING AND WEAK TO MODERATE IN
INTENSITY. AT THIS POINT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO NAIL DOWN THE
EXACT DETAILS OF THESE FEATURES...BUT A GENERAL CONTINUATION OF
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WITH PERIODIC CHANCES OF SNOW ARE A GOOD BET
FOR MOST OF THE DOMAIN.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...HIGH WIND WATCH 181

         GALE 150 160 176 179 185
