Area forecast discussion, May 25, 5:00 PM AKDT, 11 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT WED MAY 25 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF COLD BAY HAS A WEATHER FRONT OVER KODIAK
ISLAND AND THE WESTERN GULF. THE RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT HAS
BEEN CONFINED TO KODIAK ISLAND BUT CLOUDS HAVE SPREAD NORTH INTO THE
KENAI PENINSULA AND PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. CLEAR AND WARM WEATHER
CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL INTERIOR. A SURFACE RIDGE IS STILL
HOLDING OVER THE EASTERN GULF AND THE CENTRAL GULF COAST BUT HAS BEEN
WEAKENED A LITTLE BY THE WEATHER FRONT. EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW OVER
THE SOUTHWEST INTERIOR HAS MOVED DRIER WARMER AIR INTO THE LOWER
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND PARTS OF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. A TROUGH EXTENDS
NORTHWEST OF THE LOW INTO THE BERING SEA AND IS PRODUCING SHOWERS
OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA...EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND THE CENTRAL BERING.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE NAM AND THE EC ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE
