Area forecast discussion, Mar 6, 5:52 AM AKST, 10 hours 8 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST SUN MARCH 6 2011
.UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS...UPPER LEVEL PATTERN CONSISTS OF A BROAD
ANTICYCLONE EXTENDING FROM EASTERN SIBERIA ACROSS CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN ALASKA AND INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY. TO THE SOUTH OF THIS
DOMINANT FEATURE ARE TWO UPPER LOW CENTERS...A MATURE CENTER IN THE
CENTRAL GULF OF ALASKA WITH ANOTHER...MORE ENERGETIC...CENTER SOUTH
OF THE ALEUTIANS THAT IS BEING SUPPORTED BY A STRONG 150-180KT JET
STREAM AT 250MB.
.SURFACE ANALYSIS...MOST OF THE ACTION CONTINUES TO BE CONFINED TO
THE SOUTHERN/WESTERN TIERS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS FIRMLY IN CONTROL OF MUCH OF THE STATE. A 994 MB VERTICALLY
STACKED SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO WEAKEN IN THE CENTRAL GULF THOUGH IT
CONTINUES TO PACK A PUNCH BRINGING GALES TO SHELIKOF STRAIT. THE LONG
FETCH ACROSS WARMER WATERS HAS MODIFIED THE AIRMASS SUFFICIENTLY TO
CHANGE THE SNOW OVER KODIAK ISLAND INTO A RAIN/SNOW MIX. A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS ARE MANAGING TO MAKE IT OVER THE ALEUTIAN RANGE ALONG THE
AKPEN THIS MORNING. TO THE WEST A 969 MB LOW SOUTH OF THE RAT ISLANDS
IS PUSHING A WELL DEFINED FRONT INTO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS WHILE
SATELLITE IMAGERY ALSO SHOWS A DEVELOPING LOW TO THE SOUTHEAST AT THE
TRIPLE POINT.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT THIS
MORNING REGARDING THE TRACK OF THE THE DEVELOPING TRIPLE POINT LOW
SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS AS IT MOVES INTO THE EXTREME WESTERN GULF OF
ALASKA. THERE ARE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES IN THE WEST REGARDING THE
EXIT OF THE PARENT LOW AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST AWAY FROM THE
ALEUTIANS...THOUGH THE OPERATIONAL IMPACT OF THESE DIFFERENCES IS
NEGLIGIBLE.
FARTHER OUT PAST 84 HRS...DIFFERENCES CROP UP REGARDING THE TRACK AND
TIMING OF THE NEXT SERIES OF LOWS THAT MOVE INTO THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK WITH THE GFS TAKING A
MORE NORTHERLY AND FASTER TRACK THAN THE ECMWF AS IT PUSHES THE UPPER
LEVEL BLOCKING RIDGE TO THE EAST FASTER THAN EITHER THE ECMWF OR THE
GEM MODELS...WHICH KEEP IT FIRMLY PLANTED OVER WESTERN ALASKA.
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THIS MOVEMENT IS A LITTLE PREMATURE AND THUS
THE ECMWF SOLUTION IS PREFERRED FROM MIDWEEK THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...SUNNY AND MILD WEATHER FOR THE IDITAROD START
IN WILLOW TODAY AND ACROSS MUCH OF INLAND SOUTHCENTRAL AS HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE. RAIN AND SNOW FARTHER TO THE SOUTH
ACROSS KODIAK ISLAND AND MUCH OF THE GULF AS THE SURFACE LOW
GRADUALLY WEAKENS AND DISSIPATES SUNDAY NIGHT. A FEW SHOWERS MAY ALSO
BRUSH ALONG THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA AND NORTHERN GULF COAST
TODAY. GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN
PASSES THROUGH TONIGHT HOWEVER THEY SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH BY
MONDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW IN THE GULF FILLS AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
SLACKENS. AFTER THAT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE
EXTREME SOUTHERN AND WESTERN GULF...THE SUNNY WEATHER CONTINUES WITH
TEMPERATURES NEAR AVERAGE FOR THE COMING WEEK.
.SOUTHWEST ALASKA...AS WITH SOUTHCENTRAL...SUNNY WEATHER ON TAP FOR
THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA THIS COMING WEEK UNDERNEATH HIGH
PRESSURE AND OFFSHORE FLOW. BRISTOL BAY WILL SEE SOME MID TO HIGH
CLOUDS TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE ALONG
THE ALEUTIAN RANGE AS LIMITED MOISTURE FROM THE LOW IN THE GULF COMES
OVER THE MOUNTAINS HOWEVER AFTER TONIGHT DRY AIR BUILDS BACK IN
ACROSS THAT REGION.
.ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA...THE LOW SOUTH OF THE RAT ISLANDS WILL
REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY AND SLOWLY WEAKEN BEFORE IT IS SHUNTED
SOUTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE ALEUTIANS BY ANOTHER JET STREAK MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL BRING RAIN AND SNOW TO
THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS ALONG WITH THE PRIBILOFS. PRECIP
WILL LINGER THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A RESPITE AS THE LOW DEPARTS BEFORE
ANOTHER LOW PUSHES A STRONG FRONT INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TUESDAY
AND TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...HIGH PRESSURE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF DEPARTING THE
STATE ANYTIME SOON. SUNNY SKIES AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE RULE ACROSS
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND WHILE
UNSETTLED WEATHER REMAINS CONFINED TO THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN
BERING SEA.
.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING...120 127 130 138 170 171 172 179
HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING...126 127 140 185
