SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT MON MAY 23 2011

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 72 HOURS BUT DIVERGE SIGNIFICANTLY
BEYOND THURSDAY AFTERNOON. NAM PREFERRED IN THE SHORT TERM FOR
DETAIL. LIMITED CHANGES MADE TO THE MID AND LONG TERM PACKAGE.

.SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SHORT TERM FORECAST....
SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN BERING HOLDS THROUGH
TUE NIGHT THEN GRADUALLY WEAKENS AND RECEDES INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA. A
995 MB NORTH PACIFIC LOW CENTERED NEAR 50N 150W WILL DRIFT
SOUTHEASTWARD AND DISSIPATE OFF THE WEST COAST OF WASHINGTON BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA...KODIAK ISLAND...AND THE BRISTOL BAY REGION WILL REMAIN TIGHT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY THEN GRADUALLY RELAX OVER THE FOLLOWING 24
HOURS AS THE LOW CENTER WEAKENS AND MOVES OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST. GUSTY
SOUTHEAST WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL AND
SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA WILL PEAK LATE THIS AFTERNOON THEN DIMINISH BY
TOMORROW MORNING. SOUTHEAST WINDS GUSTING TO 30 MPH AND COMBINED WITH
LOW AFTERNOON AND EVENING HUMIDITIES IN THE MATANUSKA VALLEY HAS
PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TOMORROW BUT THE
LACK OF WIND SHOULD PREVENT THE NEED TO EXTEND THE WARNING INTO
WEDNESDAY.
OCCLUDED FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH NORTH PACIFIC LOW EXTENDS FROM KODIAK
ISLAND ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA AND INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC.
THE FRONT WILL GRADUALLY ATTENUATE AND DISSIPATE BY TUESDAY MORNING
BUT OTHERWISE REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY. STEADY RAIN WILL BE LIMITED
TO KODIAK ISLAND AND THE SOUTHERNMOST REGIONS OF THE SEWARD
PENINSULA. SCATTERED SHOWERS EXPECTED ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
KENAI PENINSULA AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.
A LARGE CIRCUMFERENCE 991 MB NORTHWEST PACIFIC LOW CENTERED NEAR 50N
170E WILL QUICKLY INTENSIFY TO 985 MB AS IT MOVES TO NEAR ATKA BY
TUESDAY MORNING. IT IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE EASTWARD AT FULL STRENGTH
REACHING THE WESTERN ALASKA PENINSULA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. PLENTY OF
RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. NARROW AREAS OF GALE FORCE WINDS
WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SOUTHERN AND REAR FLANKS OF THE SYSTEM.

.UPPER LEVEL ANALYSIS AND LONG TERM FORECAST...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING OVER NORTHERN AND INTERIOR ALASKA STRENGTHENS
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK. NEGATIVELY TILTED LONG WAVE
TROUGH OVER BERING SEA...WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA...AND NORTHEAST
PACIFIC STRENGTHENS AND CONSOLIDATES THROUGH FRIDAY. PATTERN IS
CONDUCIVE TO STEERING MORE NORTH PACIFIC STORMS ALONG THE ALEUTIAN
CHAIN AND INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 130 138 150 155 160
FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG STRONG WIND 111.
