SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT SUN JUN 26 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...12Z MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH
THE SHORT INTO THURSDAY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR THE LARGE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE BERING CURRENTLY. ALL MODELS HAVE A STRONG 140
KT JET ASSOCIATED WITH THIS STACKED LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE
FRONT ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. DISCREPANCIES START TO SHOW UP LATER
IN THE WEEK WITH HOW WEAK LOWS WILL DEVELOP AND MOVE IN THE GULF LATE
NEXT WEEK. OVERALL HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC MID
THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK WITH A TROUGH OVER THE MAINLAND AND EXTENDING
INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE STACKED LOW IS WRAPPED UP IN THE WESTERN BERING EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. A STRONG FRONT WITH ACCOMPANYING JET SUPPORT IS MOVING
INTO THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA WITH RAIN AND 20 TO 35 KT WINDS. A WEAK
UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS MOVING THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THIS
AFTERNOON. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE CONTINUING OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL AS A RESULT. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW IN
THE BERING WITH MOVE IN THIS EVENING AND ANOTHER TOMORROW.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
BERING AND ALEUTIANS AND WEST COAST...
THE STACKED LOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING TONIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL BRING GALE FORCE WINDS TO THE EASTERN BERING
AND WEST COAST TONIGHT. AS THE LOW GETS CLOSER TO THE COAST...IT
WEAKENS AND THE WINDS WILL WEAKEN A BIT. THE GREATEST UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT WILL BE SOUTH OF THE LOW. THIS WILL KEEP STRONGER WINDS ALONG
THE EASTERN ALEUTIAN CHAIN TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW THAN ALONG THE WEST
COAST. PRECIPITATION WILL BE MORE CONTINUOUS NEAR AND AHEAD OF THE
LOW IN BRISTOL BAY AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. THE LOW
WILL MOVE INLAND LATE MONDAY NIGHT IN THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. WINDS WILL
REMAIN STRONG BEHIND THE LOW FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST AS THE JET
AXIS REMAINS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN. WINDS WILL DIMINISH
CONSIDERABLY TUESDAY AS THE JET LEAVES THE AREA AND CROSSES INTO THE
GULF OF ALASKA. PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN IN THE WESTERLY FLOW FROM
THE CENTRAL BERING THROUGH WESTERN ALASKA. AS THE UPPER LOW DROPS
INTO THE GULF WEDNESDAY...PRECIPITATION WILL WANE OUTSIDE OF UPSLOPE
AREAS.

SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...
GOOD SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TODAY WITH DEEP
MOISTURE. AIR MASS UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO INITIATE SHOWERS ALMOST
EVERYWHERE TODAY AND WILL LAST INTO THE EVENING. THE INSTABILITY IS
DUE TO A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTING OVER THE AREA TODAY. A MORE
ORGANIZED SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA LATER TONIGHT
AND AGAIN TOMORROW. WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGHS THERE IS SOME
REFLECTION AT THE SURFACE TO PUSH SOUTHEAST WINDS THROUGH THE GAPS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH TOMORROW. SINCE THE
WAVE TOMORROW IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW IN THE BERING AND THERE IS
SOME JET SUPPORT IN THE VICINITY...SOME STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED
IN THE GAPS. RAIN WILL HIT ALL THE COASTAL AND UPSLOPE SITES AND BE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED FURTHER INLAND. A WEAK LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE
NORTHERN GULF MONDAY NIGHT AS THE BERING LOW MOVES ALONG THE WEST
COAST. THIS WILL LIKELY KEEP THE SOUTHEAST GAP WINDS MODERATE THROUGH
TUESDAY MORNING AS WELL. THE BERING LOW WILL MOVE INLAND TUESDAY AND
ACROSS INTO CENTRAL ALASKA TUESDAY NIGHT. A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE MAINLAND INTO WEDNESDAY.

WITH A RIDGE ALOFT STRETCHING ACROSS FROM WHITEHORSE TO NORTON SOUND
WEDNESDAY...EXPECT SOME CONVECTION ALONG THIS LINE DUE TO THERMAL
RIDGE AS WELL. AIR MASS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WILL BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH
FROM THIS AS WELL FOR SCATTERED CONVECTION. HOWEVER...THE BEST CHANCE
FOR LIGHTNING ACTIVITY WILL BE IN CENTRAL ALASKA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...MAIN UPPER LOW CENTER BY THURSDAY DROP INTO THE
GULF OF ALASKA. THE MEAN TROUGH TO REMAIN OVER THE MAINLAND AND GULF
OF ALASKA THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY. THE MEAN RIDGE WILL BE OVER
THE NORTH PACIFIC AND WESTERN BERING. THEREFORE...WE ARE LIKELY TO
SEE SHOWERS FROM THE EASTERN BERING OVER THE MAINLAND. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL OVER THE MAINLAND AND ABOVE NORMAL
FOR THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL BERING AND ALEUTIANS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNINGS 160 170 172 180
