NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
100 PM AKST WED JAN 26 2011
.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON POWERFUL ALEUTIAN LOW
THAT IS STARTING TO IMPACT THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON. GFS
RUNNING 3 TO 5 MB DEEPER THAN NAM OR ECWMF BUT POSITION THROUGH 42
HOURS IS PRETTY GOOD. STILL LOOKING AT LOW CENTER TO TRACK TO THE
NORTHWEST THROUGH THE BERING ON FRI.
MODELS ALSO INDICATING WEAK LOW OVER GREATER KENAI PEN AREA TONIGHT
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER EASTERN GULF.
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...MAIN ENERGY IS ASSOCIATED WITH ALEUTIAN
SYSTEM WITH VERY GOOD UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. STRONG 300 MB JET OVER
EASTERN AL AND SOUTHERN AK PEN IS DRIVING THIS SYSTEM. LOOKS AS UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AMPLIFIES FRI OVER THE STATE BUT SHIFTS EASTWARD ENOUGH
TO PRODUCE EXTENDED SOUTHERLY FETCH IN THE GULF OF ALASKA.

LOOKS LIKE STRONG SOUTHEAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS AND SNOW WILL PRODUCE

SNOW SHOWERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT. PATCHY FOG IN
COOK INLET AREA THU MORNING BUT OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLEAR WITH TEMPS IN

SOUTHERLY FETCH OVER THE GULF WILL TRANSPORT A SERIES OF LOWS AND
WAVES ONSHORE. TEMPS TO REMAIN IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S IN COOK
INLET WITH RAIN ALONG THE COAST AND CHANCE FOR SNOW INLAND. LOOKS AS
