SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST TUE JAN 4 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A PATTERN CHANGE IS IN PROGRESS THIS MORNING. THE BERING UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH HAS MOVED WEST OF KAMCHATKA...WITH REMNANTS OF A CLOSED LOW
EXTENDING FROM THE AKPEN WEST ACROSS THE BERING. UPPER RIDGING IS
DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN BERING WHILE THE NORTHERN TIP OF THE
BLOCKING RIDGE OVER WESTERN CANADA IS BEGINNING TO PINCH OFF AND
BREAK DOWN THE BLOCK. THIS WILL ALLOW EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF SYNOPTIC
FEATURES AT OUR LATITUDES OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. AT THE
SURFACE...LOWS ARE SOUTH OF THE AKPEN AND OVER SOUTHWEST AK AS WELL
AS NEAR KAMCHATKA. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING INTO THE
WESTERN BERING.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM WITH THE NAM BEING
USED FOR DETAIL...AND THEN THE FORECAST TENDS TOWARD THE EC FOR
SUPERIOR RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. THE LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPEN WILL MOVE
TO EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND THIS EVENING...AND THEN DECAY AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE GULF BY THU NIGHT. THE LOW OVER SOUTHWEST AK WILL BE
ABSORBED INTO A LARGE AREA OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE OVER THE INTERIOR WED
WHICH DISSIPATES THU NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS FROM THE AKPEN
EAST INTO THE WEEKEND.

A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW NEAR KAMCHATKA WILL AFFECT THE
WESTERN BERING BEFORE DISSIPATING WED. HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REST OF
THE BERING WILL MOVE TO THE AKPEN AND WESTERN AK THU. BEHIND THE
RIDGE A DEEP LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WED AND FILL
THE ENTIRE BERING BY THU EVENING BEFORE MOVING NORTH ON FRI. A SECOND
LOW CROSSES THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FRI AND MOVES NORTH INTO RUSSIA
DURING THE WEEKEND.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
WILL KEEP STRONG WINDS AND SHOWERS OVER THAT AREA TODAY BEFORE
DIMINISHING TONIGHT. MEANWHILE THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
KAMCHATKA LOW WILL BRING RAIN AND STRONG WIND TO THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS TODAY AND THE FOLLOWING LOW WILL BRING MORE RAIN AND
STRONGER WIND LATER ON WED. BY WED NIGHT THE RAIN WILL REACH THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS WHILE SNOW SHOWERS RETURN TO THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE CHAIN. THERE WILL BE A BREAK THU NIGHT BEFORE THE FINAL LOW
AFFECTS THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WITH WIND AND RAIN FRI AND
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS INTO THE WEEKEND.

FOR SOUTHWEST AK...RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS BENEATH THE DECAYING LOW
WILL PERSIST THROUGH WED. STRONG WIND ALONG THE COAST WILL KEEP
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS IN THE VICINITY OF NUNIVAK ISLAND THIS MORNING
BEFORE TAPERING OFF THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING DRY
CONDITIONS THU AND THEN INCREASING WIND WITH POSSIBLE SNOW SHOWERS
WILL AFFECT THE COAST FRI...BEFORE DRYING RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK RANGE...ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
RAIN TO THE COAST WITH SNOW AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS...AND A SHOWERY MIX
INLAND THROUGH TONIGHT. DIMINISHING PRECIPITATION CAN BE EXPECTED WED
AND THEN PRECIPITATION WILL BE LIMITED TO COASTAL LOCATIONS THU. HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN ON FRI AND DRIES OUT THE ENTIRE AREA INTO THE
WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE WEST WILL EXPERIENCE WARMER AND WETTER CONDITIONS EARLY NEXT WEEK
WHILE DRY HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER SOUTHWEST AK AND AREAS
SOUTHEAST OF THE AK RANGE.
