SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT TUE JUL 5 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINS OVER
THE STATE WITH A SIGNIFICANT COLE CENTER OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA
AND A SECOND ONE IN THE NORTHEAST GULF. THE MEAN TROUGH POSITION
BETWEEN THESE CENTERS HAS SHIFTED NORTHWARD ALLOWING AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE TO DEVELOP OVER BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. THIS
RIDGE WILL MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE MAIN UPPER LOW
IN THE BERING SEA WILL NOT MOVE MUCH...STAYING IN THE NORTHERN BERING
SEA INTO THE WEEKEND.
AT THE SURFACE THERE IS AN UNSEASONALLY STRONG LOW AND FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW IN THE BERING SEA. VISIBLE SATELLITE
SHOWS THE WELL DEVELOPED FRONTAL STRUCTURE AND ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE
BEHIND THE FRONT TO CLEAR OUT THE STRATUS IN THE NORTHWEST BERING
SEA.
A LOW IN THE EASTERN GULF SHOWS UP NICELY ON VISIBLE SATELLITE. THIS
LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD AND WEAKEN. THERE IS ENOUGH OF A SWELL
BEING GENERATED BY THIS LOW TO GENERATE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY SEAS
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT
ON THE MAJOR FEATURES ARE NOT IN GOOD ALIGNMENT WITH THE MEANDERING
NATURE OF THE BERING SEA LOW AND ALSO WITH THE TRIPLE POINT LOW
DEVELOPING SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND
THURSDAY. THE EC HAD THE BEST INITIALIZATION FROM THE SET OF 12Z
MODEL RUNS AND THE EC NAM AND GFS ALL WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THE
EXACT MOVEMENT OF THE LOW. SINCE THIS MOVEMENT IS SO SLOW AND IT
ESSENTIALLY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF ST MATTHEW ISLAND FOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS THE MAIN IMPACT WILL BE FOR THE WIND DIRECTION IN THE
MARINE AREAS OF THE BERING SEA.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
THE ATMOSPHERE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA IS UNSTABLE TODAY WITH
THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY DEVELOPING EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE
NORTHERN COPPER RIVER BASIN. THOUGH THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN UNSTABLE
QUITE A BIT LATELY DUE TO THE PERSISTENT COLD AIR ALOFT THERE HAS
GENERALLY NOT BEEN ENOUGH OF A TRIGGER TO GET THUNDERSTORMS GOING.
THERE IS A BETTER TRIGGER TODAY WITH LARGE AREAS OF CLEARING ALLOWING
THE LOW LEVEL LIFT TO BE GREATER THAN MANY OTHER DAYS. THEREFORE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING PRESENTS A GOOD CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP IN THE SUSITNA AND MATANUSKA VALLEY AS WELL AS THE COPPER
RIVER BASIN. THERE MAY EVEN BE A FEW ALONG THE CHUGACH AND KENAI
MOUNTAINS. WEST OF THE ALASKA RANGE THE ATMOSPHERE QUICKLY BECOMES
MORE STABLE AND KEEPING THE CONVECTION TO NOTHING MORE THAN A FEW
SHOWERS ALONG THE MOUNTAINS.
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST WILL SLOWLY SPREAD
EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND MOVE INTO THE BRISTOL BAY REGION BY TOMORROW
MORNING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE OVERALL PATTERN IS SLOW TO CHANGE AS THE
DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE...THE COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW IN THE BERING
SEA...DOES NOT MOVE MUCH. THERE IS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW FAR
SOUTH AND EAST IT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WEEKEND SO THAT IS A FACTOR
IN THE FORECAST. WHAT LOOKS LIKELY IS THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
COOL SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND KEEP RAIN AND SHOWERS
IN THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. A TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL
DEVELOP NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND MOVE TOWARD THE
WESTERN GULF THURSDAY. WHILE THIS LOW WILL BE WEAK IT WILL HAVE A
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH IT THAT WILL BRING CLOUDS AND MOISTURE BACK
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. THE BIG QUESTION ABOUT THE SOUTH CENTRAL
FORECAST IS WHETHER THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO
COUNTERACT THE SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW THAT WILL PRODUCE DOWNSLPOING
ON THE LEEWARD SIDE OF MOUNTAINS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 160 180.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
