SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
145 PM AKDT MON OCT 31 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A BROAD TROUGH PERSISTS OVER MUCH OF THE
STATE WITH THE AXIS RUNNING FROM NEAR BARROW BACK TO THE ALASKA
PENINSULA. A VERTICALLY STACKED LOW IS DIGGING SOUTH NEAR THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS IN RESPONSE TO A STRENGTHENING 160 KT JET FLOWING FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC. A BAROCLINIC LEAF IS
BECOMING MORE EVIDENT THIS AFTERNOON AS A LOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP UNDER
THE MASSIVE CLOUD SHIELD.

A WEAKER SURFACE LOW IS LOCATED NEAR THE TIP OF THE KENAI PENINSULA.
MOISTURE OVERRUNNING THIS FEATURE IS RESULTING IN LIGHT SNOW FROM
COOK INLET UP TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY. THIS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM IN THE NORTH
PACIFIC.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...A CHALLENGING FORECAST TODAY WITH SOME VERY
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TYPICALLY PREFERRED MODELS IN THE
FIRST 24 HOURS. THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE AN OUTLIER WITH THE PLACEMENT
AND STRENGTH OF THE DEVELOPING NORTH PACIFIC LOW. THE 12Z RUN
INITIALIZED POORLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE SATELLITE IMAGERY...THE
INTERMITTENT RUN IS NOT MUCH BETTER. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE
CONSISTENTLY BROUGHT A MID 970S MB LOW TO THE NORTH GULF COAST BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WHILE THE NAM SHOOTS THE LOW NORTHEAST NEAR
YAKUTAT.

THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO SOLUTIONS HAS VERY SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS ON
THE FORECAST. BASED ON THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTION...WE ISSUED A BLIZZARD
WARNING FOR THOMPSON PASS AND A SNOW ADVISORY FOR THE COPPER RIVER
BASIN. IF THE NAM WERE TO VERIFY...VERY LITTLE IF ANY SNOW WOULD FALL
IN THIS REGION AND BOTH WOULD FAIL TO VERIFY.

NEEDLESS TO SAY...WE WILL BE WATCHING THE SATELLITE AND BUOYS VERY
CLOSE THIS EVENING TO SEE IF THE LOW IS DEVELOPING AS EXPECTED.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...AS HINTED AT IN THE MODEL DISCUSION...THE
GFS/ECMWF SOLUTION BRINGS ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO THE NORTHEAST GULF OF
ALASKA LATE TONIGHT. AS THE LOW BOMBS TO APPROX 975 MB...THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ALONG THE GULF COAST WILL STRENGTHEN RESULTING IN FIERCE GAP
WINDS. HEAVY SNOW TAPERS OFF TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING BUT THE
COLD AIR ADVECTING SOUTHWARD BEHIND IT WILL FURTHER ENHANCE THE
GRADIENT. EXPECT STRONG WINDS AND COLD TEMPERATURES TO FILTER ACROSS
THE REGION THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

THE PATTERN DOES NOT LAST LONG A RIDGE BUILDS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA
WEDNESDAY AND SPREADS INTO SOUTHCENTRAL WEDNESDAY NIGHT. DRIVING THE
PROGRESSIVE RIDGE IS ANOTHER NORTH PACIFIC LOW DEVELOPING SOUTH OF
THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THIS LOW AND ITS FRONT MARCHES ACROSS THE THE
BERING SEA TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR...SPREADING MOISTURE ACROSS
MOST OF THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STATE BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
