SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKST THU NOV 17 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HAS NOW
PUSHED OVER THE YUKON TERRITORIES WITH A WARMER UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
OVER THE WESTERN ALASKA AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA COAST. THE NEXT UPPER
LEVEL LOW IS FAR TO THE WEST OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. THIS UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN WILL HOLD FAST FOR THE NEXT DAY AND THEN THESE FEATURES
WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD THIS WEEKEND.

AT THE SURFACE THE LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS OVER THE
INTERIOR OF THE STATE. A RIDGE FROM THIS HIGH EXTENDS OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND THROUGH BRISTOL BAY AND THEN REACHES SOUTH OF
KODIAK ISLAND. THE LOW IN THE EASTERN GULF THAT STARTED THE STRONG
WINDS HAS MOVED CLOSE TO VANCOUVER ISLAND BUT A TROUGH REMAINS
STRETCHING FROM THAT LOW TO PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND. THIS HAS ALLOWED
GUSTY WINDS TO PERSIST IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND ALONG THE NORTH
GULF COAST TODAY. THE LOW IMPACTING THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA IS CENTERED NEAR THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA BUT THE FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH IT STRETCHES OVER THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN BERING SEA
AND STILL IS PACKING A PUNCH.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL WITH THE OVERALL PATTERN.
THE NAM IS A BIT TOO FAR SOUTH WITH THE NEXT LARGE BERING SEA LOW BUT
OTHER THAN THAT THERE ARE NO REAL CONCERNS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...STRONG GAP WINDS PERSIST IN SOUTH CENTRAL AND
ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST. THESE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH OVER
THE COURSE OF THE EVENING AND SHOULD BE MUCH LOWER COME MIDNIGHT.
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED FOR AREAS EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE.
CLOUDS ARE MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND KODIAK ISLAND. SNOW
SHOULD REACH THE BRISTOL BAY AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA COASTS. KODIAK WILL
BEGIN AS SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT MAY BRIEFLY MIX WITH RAIN TOMORROW
MORNING. WARM AIR ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS
WILL KEEP PRECIPITATION RAIN IN THOSE AREAS OVER THE NEXT DAY. THIS
SHOULD ALSO BE THE CASE FOR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...ANOTHER COLD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TAKES UP
RESIDENCE IN THE NORTHERN INTERIOR OF THE STATE BY THE END OF THE
WEEKEND. THIS UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF
THE STATE THROUGH THE WEEK NEXT WEEK. THE COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE
GULF WILL GET A SHOT OF SNOW EARLY NEXT WEEK IN CONJUNCTION WITH A
LOW DEVELOPING IN THE GULF. THIS LOW LOOKS TO REMAIN IN THE GULF FOR
THE MAJORITY OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP INLAND AREAS OF SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA DRY.
FARTHER WEST ANOTHER MODERATE TO STRONG LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE
BERING SEA AND BRING A MIX OF RAIN SNOW AND WIND.
