SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
135 PM AKDT MON JUN 6 2011

.ANALYSIS...HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL OVER MOST OF THE INTERIOR TODAY
AS A LOW RAPIDLY DEVELOPS AND MOVES TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE
REMNANTS OF THE LOW FROM THE WEEKEND IS STILL SLOWLY FILLING OVER THE
NORTHERN BERING SEA WHILE A THIRD LOW WELL SOUTHWEST OF THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS IS DEVELOPING AT THE BASE OF A TROF WITH THE SUPPORT OF A
140 KT JET.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM
ALTHOUGH SOME INITIALIZATION PROBLEMS OBVIOUS WHEN COMPARED TO THE
CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGE. THE PREVIOUS SEVERAL RUNS OF THE GFS SHOW A
CONSISTENT INCREASE IN SPEED AS IT APPROACHES THE ALASKA PENINSULA.
THE MOISTURE PLUME APPEARS TO BE WELL AHEAD OF WHERE IT SHOULD BE
ACCORDING TO THE MODELS...SO WE ARE HAVING TO ADJUST FOR THE TIMING
ISSUES AS RAIN SPREADS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND KODIAK ISLAND THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
MOISTURE SPREADS NORTH RAPIDLY TONIGHT BRINGING RAIN TO THE BRISTOL
BAY ZONE AND THEN THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. RAIN HAS ALREADY BEGUN ON
KODIAK ISLAND AND WILL BE FILLING IN OVER THE SOUTHERN KENAI
PENINSULA OVERNIGHT. THE FRONT WILL RAPIDLY FALL APART OVERNIGHT...SO
RAIN IN ANCHORAGE AND THE MATANUSKA VALLEY IS NOT LIKELY.
STILL...DIFFICULT TO RULE OUT AN ODD SHOWER GIVEN THE MOIST
SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WITH CYCLONIC CIRCULATION ALOFT.

FURTHER EAST OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN...CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON
ARE FAVORABLE FOR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS NEAR THE ALASKA
RANGE. RELATIVELY COLD AIR ALOFT AND AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE COULD
LEAD TO A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES THIS AFTERNOON. FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
WILL INCREASE TOMORROW AS WINDS LOOK TO BECOME GUSTY DUE TO A
TIGHTENING GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION. CONFIDENCE IS GROWING IN THIS
SCENARIO...DESPITE THE SLIGHT MODEL TIMING ISSUES...SO WE WILL BE
UPGRADING THE WATCH TO A WARNING WITH THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.

THE LOW THAT MOVES TOWARD THE ALASKA PENINSULA LOSES ITS MOMENTUM AND
STALLS JUST SOUTHWEST OF KODIAK ISLAND. IT WILL MEANDER IN THIS
REGION THROUGH THURSDAY AS IT SLOWLY FILLS. THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONT
MOVE INLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND DRIER AIR BETWEEN THE OLD FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND THE LOW CENTER MOVES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL...BRINGING THE
REGION ANOTHER DAY OF PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES. AGAIN...THE CYCLONIC CIRCULATION COUPLED WITH THE
RELATIVELY COLD AIR ALOFT WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED SHOWERS MAINLY IN
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...MOST OF THE BERING WILL BE UNDER A RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE THROUGH TONIGHT. WIDESPREAD FOG AND STRATUS ARE
BRINGING PLACES LIKE THE PRIBILOFS REDUCED VISIBILITY TO A MILE OR
LESS. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEVELOPING NORTH PACIFIC
LOW WILL PUSH ACROSS THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS THIS EVENING AND MAKE IT
TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. BY THEN...THE LOW
WILL BEGIN TO FILL AND SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH TOWARD THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING 130 132 138 150 172 175 176.
