SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 AM AKDT WED SEP 14 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...NAM AND GFS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON SURFACE
WEATHER FEATURES THIS MORNING.  AS PER USUAL GFS RUNS A FEW MB DEEPER
ON CENTRAL PRESSURES.  MAIN FEATURE IS A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE BERING SEA...ACTUALLY A NUMBER OF EMBEDDED SURFACE LOWS
PERSISTS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  THE MAIN RESULTS IS A SERIES OF FRONTS
AND WAVES MOVING ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN INTO THE GULF.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...CURRENTLY A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED NEAR KODIAK ISLAND IS GENERATING ONSHORE FLOW AND SHOWERS
ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF AND COOK INLET...THIS SHOULD CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH THE NEXT FRONT MOVING INTO THE WESTERN GULF
WED NIGHT. PARENT LOW IN CENTRAL BERING WILL PRODUCE STRONG WESTERLY
FLOW ACROSS THE CHAIN AND SOUTHERN BERING THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
BERING...CLOUDY PERIODS OF RAIN WITH STRONG NORTHWEST TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS.

SOUTHWEST...FRONT MOVING THROUGH THIS MORNING BRING SHOWERS FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER FRONT MOVING ONSHORE THIS EVENING ALSO PRODUCING SHOWERS
AND MODERATE EAST WINDS.

SOUTHCENTRAL...SHOWERS TODAY WITH GAP WINDS. NEXT FRONT MOVES OVER
KODIAK ISLAND THIS EVENING AND INTO COOK INLET BY MIDNIGHT. LOOKS AS
CONTINUED STRONG EAST WINDS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST THROUGH THU
NIGHT. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE GULF TRIES TO BUILD ON FRI.
GENERALLY VARIABLE CLOUDS AND ISOLATED SHOWERS ON FRI AND SAT.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...NEXT MAJOR FEATURE IS A NORTH PACIFIC LOW THAT
MOVES INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS SAT MORNING WHICH SUBSEQUENTLY MOVES
ACROSS THE CHAIN REACHING DUTCH HARBOR SUN MORNING. FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVED INTO WESTERN GULF SUN AFTERNOON
AND THEN SWING NORTHWARD ON SUN EVENING. BRUNT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE
IN ALEUTIANS...KODIAK...AND NORTH GULF COAST...SHOULD PRODUCE PLENTY
OF RAIN. CURRENTLY LOOKS AS IF MINIMAL IMPACT WEST OF 160W IN
SOUTHWEST REGION.
