SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKST FRI FEB 25 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS CONTINUE TO DO WELL WITH THE CURRENT
WEATHER PATTERN WITH ONLY MINOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM. RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY HAS BEEN VERY GOOD AS WELL.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE LARGE LOW THAT HAS BEEN IMPACTING
MUCH OF THE STATE HAS NOW MOVED INTO NORTHERN CANADA WITH AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH FOLLOWING BEHIND IT. REMNANTS OF THE FRONTAL SYSTEM
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT LOW BROUGHT SNOW TO MUCH OF THE STATE AND STILL
REMAINS OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION AND IS CONTINUING TO PROVIDE
SNOW SHOWERS IN THE REGION. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE BERING
AND CONTINUES TO BUILD. THIS HIGH THAT IS DEVELOPING INTO AN OMEGA
BLOCK IS SLOWLY TRACKING EAST AND WILL BRING A TIGHTER PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL AREA. BEHIND THAT HIGH IS A DEEP LOW
IN THE NORTH PACIFIC THAT IS BEGINNING TO IMPACT THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...COLDER AIR IS MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS
THE LARGE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE BERING SEA. WINDS WILL FINALLY WEAKEN
IN THAT AREA AS THE RIDGE NUDGES EASTWARD. THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND
WESTERN BERING SEA WILL SEE INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AND RAIN
MOVE INTO THE AREA AS A LOW WELL SOUTH OF KISKA MOVES NORTHWEST
TOWARD THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. THIS WILL CAUSE A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT FOR THOSE AREAS BETWEEN THIS LOW AND THE RIDGE IN THE BERING
SEA.

SNOW SHOWERS ARE TAPERING OFF IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA WITH MOST OF
THE REMAINING SNOW OVER THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS. THERE HAS BEEN STRONG
DOWN SLOPING WINDS OFF THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN RANGE OVER THE SUSITNA
VALLEY AND COOK INLET WHICH HAVE EFFECTIVELY KEPT THE PRECIPITATION
SHUT OFF EXCEPT FOR WHEN IT HAS BEEN ABLE TO UP SLOPE ALONG THE
TALKEETNA AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS. IT IS UNUSUAL TO SEE STRONG DOWN
SLOPE IN WESTERLY FLOW BUT IT IS CLEARLY HAPPENING TODAY. NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL INCREASE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TOMORROW AND IT WILL STAY
GENERALLY WINDY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THERE IS UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT
FOR STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS DUE TO A NORTH TO SOUTH JET STREAM MOVING
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA BY LATE SATURDAY. SUCH INCIDENCES OF A DUE
NORTH-SOUTH JET IN COMBINATION WITH A STRONG SURFACE HIGH IN THE
INTERIOR AND LOW IN THE GULF WILL BRING WINDS OVER MORE OF THE AREA
IN GENERAL AND NOT ONLY THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN. THE SUSITNA
VALLEY, COPPER RIVER BASIN AS WELL AS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AND COOK
INLET AS ARE LIKELY TO SEE STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OVER A GREATER
PORTION OF THE AREA THAN NORMAL.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...A CLOSED UPPER HIGH OVER THE NORTHERN BERING
SEA MONDAY WILL REMAIN STATIONARY IN AN OMEGA BLOCK PATTERN THROUGH
AT LEAST THURSDAY. WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL DROP SOUTH OVER MAINLAND AK
PERIODICALLY IN STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF IT...EACH BRINGING A
LITTLE COOLER AIR AND HELPING TO MAINTAIN A GUSTY NORTHERLY WIND
PATTERN. ALL AREAS EXCEPT THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL
REMAIN DRY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
SLIGHTLY TO MUCH BELOW NORMAL FOR MOST OF THE MAINLAND...BUT CLOSER
TO  NORMAL FURTHEST WEST IN AREAS OF CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER
RIDGE.
