SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT SAT MAY 21 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT...THOUGH THERE ARE
SOME MINOR TIMING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN INDIVIDUAL DISTURBANCES MOVING
IN SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE ALOFT IN THE
SOUTHERN BERING AND NORTH PACIFIC...AND HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER
NORTHERN CANADA.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

AN EXPANSIVE MID LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH SITUATED WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN WILL CONSOLIDATE AND MOVE EAST TO THE SOUTH
OF THE GULF OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. A NEW LOW COMPLEX WILL REPLACE
THE DEPARTING LOW FROM THE WEST BY MONDAY MORNING...WITH
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE APPROACHING THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS MONDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH NORTH OF CANADA IN THE ARCTIC
OCEAN WILL SLIDE SOUTH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND RESIDE NEAR THE
NORTHWEST CANADIAN COAST BY TUE AFTERNOON. SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES
WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TO NORTHWEST FROM NEAR THE PANHANDLE AND GULF OF
ALASKA ACROSS SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE...

EXTENSIVE MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER HAS OVERTAKEN SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA OVERNIGHT AND THIS MORNING ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST IN A LINE
OF DISTURBANCES THAT WILL AFFECT THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
THESE DISTURBANCES WILL BRING MUCH IN THE WAY OF THE SAME WEATHER
THAT HAS AFFECTED THE REGION THIS MORNING...WITH GENERALLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS MOST AREAS AND A GENERAL DECREASE IN WINDS FROM WHAT WE
HAVE SEEN THE LAST FEW DAYS...THUS PRECLUDING ANY TYPE OF FIRE
WEATHER THREAT. EXPECT TO SEE GENERALLY RAINY AND SHOWERY WEATHER
ALONG COASTAL LOCATIONS...WITH SHOWERS OVER THE INTERIOR CONFINED
MAINLY TO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND SUSITNA VALLEY...AND DRY BUT
GENERALLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS FROM THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA NORTH TO
THE MATANUSKA VALLEY...WHERE DOWNSLOPE CONDITIONS WILL BE MOSTLY
PREVALENT...THOUGH OCCASIONAL SPRINKLES WITH STRONGER DISTURBANCES
ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...

DISTURBANCES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH SUNDAY...THEN A WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION AS A
DISTURBANCE MOVES NORTH INTO THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF THE STATE ON
MONDAY. THIS WILL KEEP THE FORECAST SHOWERY MOST AREAS THROUGH
MONDAY.

BERING/ALEUTIANS...

LOW COMPLEX STRETCHED ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN CONSOLIDATES SOUTH OF
DUTCH HARBOR BY SUNDAY NIGHT AND THEN TRACKS EAST INTO THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC OCEAN BY TUESDAY. A STRENGTHENING LOW COMPLEX SOUTH OF
KAMCHATKA WILL MOVE QUICKLY EAST INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY MONDAY
TO TAKE ITS PLACE. EXPECT CONTINUED RAIN AND SHOWERS MOST AREAS WITH
PATCHY FOG THROUGH EARLY WEEK.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL FEATURE GENERALLY LOWS IN THE BERING SLIDE
EAST INTO THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC OCEAN...WITH UPPER LEVEL
HIGHS/RIDGING OVER NORTHWEST CANADA NOSING ITS WAY INTO SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA AT TIMES. THIS WILL KEEP STEADIER RAIN CONFINED SOUTH AND WEST
ALONG THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHWEST COASTAL LOCATIONS. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR FOR ANY EASTERLY WAVES THAT MAY AFFECT LOCATIONS IN
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALES...130 132
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
