SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT WED APR 13 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...THE NAM AND GFS HAVE A RELATIVELY GOOD HANDLE ON
THE EASTERLY WAVE WHICH MOVES ACROSS THE NORTH GULF/SOUTHCENTRAL
THROUGH THIS EVENING. MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT ON SYNOPTIC
SCALE FEATURES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME MODEL
DIFFERENCES THAT CREEP NEAR THE END OF THE SHORT TERM (FRI NIGHT/SAT)
WITH THE LOW COMPLEX MOVING SOUTH OF THE WESTERN AK PEN/EAST
ALEUTIANS. AFTERNOON PACKAGES WILL BE BASED IN PART ON THE NAM ON THE
EAST DOMAIN AND THE NAM/GFS ON THE WESTERN.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
LARGE UPPER LOW NOW WELL SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA...WITH A STRONG
HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. IN BETWEEN LIES A STRONG NORTHERLY
JET OVER EASTERN BERING AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AKPEN. UPPER RIDGING
EXTENDS FROM THE CANADIAN ROCKIES AND IS EDGING ITSELF INTO THE
INTERIOR OF THE STATE BEHIND A DISTURBANCE DIVING SOUTHWEST ACROSS
THE CENTRAL INTERIOR. THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE DIVING SOUTHWEST
THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS UNTIL IT REACHES THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS REGION...WITH THE BERING RIDGE BECOMING A CUT-OFF HIGH OVER
FAR NORTHEAST RUSSIA...THUS FORMING WHAT IS CALLED A REX BLOCK. THE
ONLY OTHER FEATURE TO NOTE IS AN EASTERLY WAVE OVER THE NORTHEAST
GULF MOVING WEST. THIS FEATURE WILL AFFECT MAINLY COASTAL LOCATIONS
AS IT TRACKS TOWARDS KODIAK BY THURSDAY MORNING...BRINGING A CHANCE
OF RAIN AND SNOW TO THESE LOCATIONS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
MAIN CHALLENGE OF THE DAY WILL BE TIMING AND INTENSITY OF EASTERLY
WAVES MOVING ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL OVER THE NEXT DAY OR SO. FIRST WAVE
CURRENTLY OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN/NORTH GULF IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
INTO THE MATSU/COOK INLET THIS EVENING BRINGING AT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
THROUGH THE EVENING. THE NEXT WAVE MOVES OUT OF WESTERN CANADA TO
OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN THU MORNING THEN INTO THE MATSU/KENAI PEN
LATE THU AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST OF THE EASTERLY
WAVES FOR AS WHILE AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE MAINLAND THU
NIGHT/FRI. EXPECT MOST GULF LOCATIONS WILL BE GENERALLY SHOWERY OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR SO WITH THE LOW COMPLEX OVER THE GULF.  BRISK GAP
WINDS FLOWS/GRADIENT WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS AS THE
GULF LOW COMPLEX WEAKENS.

SOUTHWEST...
GENERALLY NORTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS CONTINUING RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT
AND INTO THU AFTERNOON OVER BRISTOL BAY AS A WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS/AKPEN...

NORTHERLY FLOW PERSISTS TODAY OVER THE EASTERN BERING AND
AKPEN...WITH COLD ADVECTION SNOW SHOWERS ON THE BERING SIDE...UNTIL
THE DISTURBANCE DIVING SOUTHWEST FROM THE MAINLAND MOVES THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL BUILD NORTH
OVER NORTHEAST RUSSIA...WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED DISTURBANCE MOVING IN
FROM THE NORTH AND EAST TO REPLACE IT...FORMING A REX BLOCK OVER THE
REGION. IT APPEARS ONCE THIS PATTERN SETS UP BY THE END OF THE WEEK
THAT IT WILL STICK AROUND FOR A WHILE. THUS EXPECT A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS MOVING SOUTH AND WEST OVER TIME THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE WEEKEND WILL FEATURE MAINLY OUTSTANDING WEATHER FOR THE MAINLAND
WITH THE UNSETTLED WEATHER OVER THE ALEUTIANS WELL SOUTH OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED STATIONARY CUT-OFF HIGH. MODELS SEEM TO BE CATCHING ON
TO A DISTURBANCE MOVING SOUTH FROM THE ARCTIC ON THE EAST SIDE OF
THIS SYSTEM BY MONDAY...WHICH WILL LIKELY BE ABLE TO FIRE OFF SOME
SHOWERS OVER SOUTHCENTRAL...PARTICULARLY OVER HIGHER TERRAIN.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY 160 165 AND 414.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
