SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT FRI APR 22 2011
.MODEL DISCUSSION...THE MODELS ARE IN AMAZINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT
THROUGH THE FIRST 60 HRS CONSIDERING THE COMPLEXITY OF THE SYNOPTIC
PATTERN. THE NAM OVERALL BEST HANDLES MOST OF THE LOCAL EFFECT OF
WIND PRECIPITATION SHADOWING IN THE EAST AND WILL USED HEAVILY IN
THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. THE GFS LOOKS REASONABLE OUT IN THE WESTERN
DOMAIN.
.UPPER LEVELS...
500MB...A BROAD RIDGE WITH ITS AXIS EXTENDS FROM THE SE GULF OF THE
ALASKA TO OVER THE NORTH GULF COAST. BY SAT AFTERNOON...THE RIDGE
AXIS EXTENDS FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA NW TO OVER INTERIOR ALASKA. THE
RIDGE THEN UNDERGOES LITTLE CHANGE THROUGH MON AFTERNOON. THE
OCCLUDED LOW CENTER SOUTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS APPEARS TO MERGE
WITH A SECONDARY DEVELOPMENT TO THE SE SAT. THE GENERAL AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE THEN LIFTS NORTH TO OVER BRISTOL BAY SUN AFTERNOON. THE
COMPLEX CONTINUES NW AND WEAKENS AS YET ANOTHER LOW COMPLEX MOVES SE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING SEA.
AT THE SURFACE...FRONTAL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM SW ALASKA...THROUGH
THE NW GULF...TO THE EASTERN GULF CONTINUES TO PUSH NORTH TODAY AND
WEAKENS. A SECONDARY FRONT WELL SOUTH OF THE GULF MOVES TO OVER
