SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKST TUE JAN 18 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE TRANSITION FROM A COLD AND DRY
PATTERN TO A MORE ACTIVE ONE IS UNDER WAY. THE STRONG FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH A LARGE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS SLOWLY
ADVANCING ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS. MULTIPLE STRONG VORT MAXES
ARE EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHERLY FLOW
AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE MODEL
SOLUTIONS THIS MORNING COMPARED TO WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT YESTERDAY.
OVERNIGHT...THE MODELS TRENDED THE ADVANCING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWER
AND TODAYS RUNS ARE CONTINUING WITH THAT TREND. THE GFS CONTINUES TO
BE THE BEST OPTION AND A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE INHERITED
FORECAST AND THE AGGRESSIVE ECMWF/NAM SOLUTIONS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...A TRICKY FORECAST AS CONFIDENCE IN THE MODEL SOLUTIONS
IS DIMINISHED. CLOUDS WILL STILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AS THE CIRRUS AS
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ALLOWS THE WARM AIR TO OVERRUN THE ARCTIC
AIRMASS IN PLACE. BESIDES THE SLOWER TIMING OF THE MOISTURE...THE
OTHER MAIN DIFFERENCE IS HOW THE TRIPLE POINT LOW IS HANDLED. NOW THE
MODELS ARE SHOOTING THE ENERGY EAST TOWARD THE UPPER PANHANDLE
INSTEAD OF INTO SOUTHCENTRAL. THIS DIFFERENCE WILL LIMIT HOW MUCH
PRECIPITATION FALLS INLAND. STILL THINKING SNOW IS LIKELY AROUND
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE KENAI PENINSULA BUT LESS CONFIDENT
ANCHORAGE WILL SEE MORE THAN FLURRIES. THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
AND VERY COLD AIRMASS IN PLACE LENDS ITSELF TO LIGHT SNOW...BUT WILL
BE SLOWLY BACKING OFF ON OUR CHANCES AS THE MODELS PUSH THE MOISTURE
EAST.

ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SHORTWAVE...ANOTHER MOVES INTO THE
NORTHWESTERN GULF BY THE END OF THE WEEK BRINGING THE COASTAL AREAS
ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW. THE PATTERN REMAINS MORE ACTIVE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND.

KODIAK WILL STILL SEE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM
OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE UPPER 30S. THE CONCERN FOR
LOCALIZED FLOODING STILL EXISTS AS SNOW FROM THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM MAY
BLOCK STORM DRAINS. NO PRODUCTS WILL BE ISSUED BESIDES THE SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT AT THIS TIME SINCE RIVERS WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE
THE ADDITIONAL RUNOFF.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND BERING SEA...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE THE CONCERN
OUT WEST AS WINDS INCREASE OVERNIGHT AND SNOW BEGINS TO FALL NORTH
AND WEST OF THE ALEUTIAN RANGE. THE ENERGY SHIFTING RAPIDLY EAST WILL
LIMIT HOW FAR INLAND THE SNOW WILL FALL...BUT FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH
TO UPGRADE TO BLIZZARD WARNINGS FOR AREAS OF THE BRISTOL BAY ZONE AND
THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST.

CONDITIONS IMPROVE RAPIDLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A TRANSIENT RIDGE
BUILDS OVER THE REGION AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TO APPROACH THE
NORTHWESTERN GULF. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH CLOSER TO AVERAGE OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA...A VERY STRONG FRONT IS BRINGING
STORM FORCE WINDS AND HURRICANE FORCE GUSTS TO MANY LOCATIONS. SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW ALONG WITH STORM FORCE WINDS AROUND THE PRIBILOF
ISLANDS MAY BRING LOCALIZED BLIZZARD CONDITIONS UNTIL TEMPERATURES
WARM ABOVE FREEZING LATER THIS EVENING. THE FRONT FINALLY BEGINS TO
WEAKEN WEDNESDAY MORNING AS IT LIFTS NORTH OF THE ISLANDS. MUCH
WEAKER LOWS THEN DEVELOP AROUND THE BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK.
