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

.ANALYSIS...
.UPPER LEVELS...A COLD STACKED LOW REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN BERING
NEAR THE STRAIT. A TROUGH EXTENDS TO THE SOUTHWEST TOWARD KAMCHATKA
WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATING INTO THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF
THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON. A RIDGE ALSO REMAINS IN THE NORTH PACIFIC
WITH A JET AXIS ORIENTED FROM SOUTH OF ADAK TO KODIAK AND ROUNDING
SOUTH IN THE GULF OF ALASKA AS A WEAKER STACKED LOW IS OVER THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE JET CORE STRENGTH IS NEAR 100 KT.

.AT THE SURFACE...A SURFACE LOW IS UNDER THE COLD UPPER LOW NEAR THE
BERING STRAIT. A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS THROUGH SOUTHCENTRAL INTO THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THE THERMAL RIDGE IS OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN.
THIS WOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS.
HOWEVER...THERE IS ENOUGH MID TO LOW CLOUD COVER TO INHIBIT SOLAR
INSOLATION TO DESTABILIZE THE AIR MASS. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE
A FEW POPS OF LIGHTNING THOUGH NONE EVEN CLOSE YET.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MEAN TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE WESTERN BERING WITH A FLAT RIDGE OVER
THE MAINLAND OF ALASKA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MODELS ARE IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THE DIFFERENCES START TO SHOW UP
DUE TO A POLAR LOW MOVING INTO SIBERIA AND WESTERN BERING SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERS OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC
AND ARCTIC OCEANS AS WELL AS THE THERMAL TROUGH IN THE YUKON ARE WELL
RESOLVED AND IN GOOD AGREEMENT. IT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TROUGH
IN THE WESTERN BERING THAT IS IN QUESTION.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL...
A WEAK SHORT WAVE WITH SOME UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM THE JET NEAR
KODIAK WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. MOISTURE IS NOT THAT DEEP...SO
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE LIGHT. HOWEVER...SOME
AREAS INFLUENCED BY UPSLOPE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RECEIVE MODERATE
AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL. THERMAL TROUGH OVER EASTERN ALASKA INTO THE
YUKON. THERE WAS PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL CLOUDS IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN
TODAY TO CURB SOLAR INSOLATION. THEREFORE...WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE THERMAL TROUGH THIS EVENING.
BUT...SHOWERS ARE DEFINITE ESPECIALLY OVER AND NEAR THE MOUNTAINS.
WEAK WAVE MOVES INTO THE YUKON TOMORROW WITH THERMAL TROUGH AND WILL
EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS OVER THE CHUGACH EAST OF
ANCHORAGE AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF WITH A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN BERING
AHEAD OF THE LOW IN THE BERING STRAIT. THIS WILL BRING MODERATE
WESTERLIES TO KODIAK AND WEST-EAST GAPS IN SOUTH CENTRAL. THE STACKED
LOW STARTS TO MOVE THURSDAY NIGHT AND PUSHES AN UPPER LEVEL FRONT
INTO THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. ONCE AGAIN...NO REAL
SURFACE REFLECTION. SHOWERS WILL BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS OVER MUCH
OF SOUTH CENTRAL. ENOUGH INSTABILITY REMAINS WITH THE UPPER LOW NOW
OVER THE MAINLAND SUNDAY FOR SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY.

.SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH SOUTHWEST
ALASKA THIS EVENING. SHORT WAVE RIDGE IS EXPECTED OVER BRISTOL BAY
TONIGHT THOUGH. AN UPPER LEVEL FRONT WILL WORK INTO THE KUSKOKWIM
DELTA TONIGHT AND SWING THROUGH THE AREA TOMORROW AS THE BERING
STRAIT LOW BEGINS TO MOVE. ONSHORE FLOW WILL KEEP MVFR TO IFR
CONDITIONS FOR THE COASTAL LOCATIONS WITH VFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS
FURTHER INLAND. WINDS WILL NOT BE ABOVE 25 KT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
FRONT. THE LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE MAINLAND FRIDAY AND CONTINUE
NUMEROUS RAIN SHOWERS OVER THE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY. ONSHORE FLOW TO
CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER THE AREA AND MVFR TO
IFR CONDITIONS.

.BERING...HIGH PRESSURE AND STRATUS OVER THE BERING AND ALEUTIANS
RIGHT NOW. AN UPPER LEVEL FRONT WITH SOME PRECIPITATION TO HIT THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS TONIGHT AND SWEEP TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH THURSDAY. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO MOVE
INTO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND BRING SHOWERS AND
SOME MODERATE WIND. THIS WAVE WILL QUICKLY MOVE INTO THE GULF FRIDAY.
A LOW IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC WILL WORK INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS
FRIDAY WITH MODERATE WINDS AND PRECIPITATION. THIS LOW WILL WRAP INTO
THE BERING FRIDAY NIGHT AND PUSH SHOWERS AND MODERATE WINDS INTO THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS SATURDAY. THE LOW WILL DISSIPATE OVER
THE BERING SUNDAY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS AND CONTINUED STRATUS AND
FOG.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE NORTH PACIFIC HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO BE A
DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS THE GULF OF ALASKA AND AKPEN OVER THE NEXT
WEEK. A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
BERING OVER THE NEXT WEEK BUT NOW SIGNIFICANT WIND OR PRECIPITATION
EVENTS ARE EXPECTED.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE
MARINE...GALE 130 132 351
FIRE WEATHER...NONE
