SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1210 PM AKST SUN JAN 30 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN LOCKED INTO
PLACE WITH RIDGE CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST ALASKA AND NORTHWEST
CANADA AND A BROAD TROUGH FROM EASTERN RUSSIA ACROSS THE BERING
SEA AND NORTH PACIFIC. THE STRONG LOW WHICH MOVED INTO THE EASTERN
BERING ON SATURDAY IS WEAKENING OFF THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEXT SURFACE LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK
ISLAND THIS MORNING TRACKING NORTHWESTWARD TOWARD BRISTOL BAY.
THIS IS A GOOD SET-UP FOR PRECIP IN BRISTOL BAY WITH ABUNDANT
MOISTURE OVERRUNNING FROM THE PACIFIC AND A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH
TO THE SOUTH AND WEST. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE MID
TO UPPER 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE ZONE WITH PRECIP FALLING AS
RAIN OR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW. A MYRIAD OF OTHER SYSTEMS ARE
MOVING THROUGH THE LONG-WAVE TROUGH WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
OF THESE DOWN OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC ALONG THE UPPER JET.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE IN THE DAY 3 TO 4
TIME PERIOD WITH POOR RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. THERE IS A LITTLE
LESS SPREAD TODAY AMONG THE DIFFERENT MODELS AS WELL AS IN THE
ENSEMBLES. PLAN TO PICK A MIDDLE GROUND AMONG THE SOLUTIONS AND
TREND THE FORECAST HEAVILY THAT WAY..ESPECIALLY IN CASES WHERE
THE CURRENT FORECAST IS SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT. THE MOST NOTEWORTHY
TREND IS TOWARD A FURTHER EAST POSITION OF INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH
OVER THE GULF EARLY THIS WEEK. THIS WILL KEEP WARMER AIR EAST OF
THE KENAI MOUNTAINS AND SET UP POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
FROM THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA TO ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT-SU.
THERE IS CERTAINLY STILL UNCERTAINTY IN THE DETAILS...BUT WILL
INDICATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SNOW IN THE FORECAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...A SHORT-WAVE TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF
WILL LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT...BRINGING THE
SURFACE OCCLUDED FRONT WITH IT. STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL
LIMIT PRECIP PRIMARILY TO THE COAST AS WELL AS UPSLOPE AREAS OF
THE ALASKA RANGE IN THE SUSITNA VALLEY. MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONT
OVER 1000 MILES TO THE SOUTH WILL BEGIN TO TRACK NORTHWARD TONIGHT
AND REACH THE GULF ON MONDAY...WAY OUT AHEAD OF THE PARENT LOW.
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN EXACTLY WHERE THIS FRONT WILL SET UP...

BUT ALL THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD
PRECIP ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY THANKS
TO A LONG FETCH OF TROPICAL MOISTURE. THERE ARE ALSO INDICATIONS
OF A WEAK LOW FORMING IN THE VICINITY OF WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND WHICH CONTRIBUTES TO ENHANCED MOISTURE ADVECTION ACROSS THE
KENAI AND CHUGACH MOUNTAINS. THIS IS A GOOD SET UP FOR SNOWFALL IN
ANCHORAGE AND VICINITY...BUT IT IS TOO EARLY TO SPECULATE ON AMOUNTS.
THE FORECAST BEYOND THIS FIRST EVENT BECOMES HIGHLY UNCERTAIN.
THERE IS A CHANCE THAT ANOTHER LOW COULD MOVE UP ACROSS THE GULF...
BUT MODELS SOLUTIONS ARE HIGHLY VARIABLE.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL MOVE ACROSS
SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL LIFT NORTHWARD
WITH THE UPPER TROUGH MONDAY. COLDER AIR WILL FILTER IN TONIGHT AS
THE UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT...WHICH WILL CHANGE PRECIP BACK TO
ALL SNOW ACROSS THE BRISTOL BAY REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
IN FROM THE WEST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY PROVIDING DRY WEATHER AND
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...EXPECT A LOW TO FORM SOUTH OF THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON AND STRENGTHEN AS IT MOVES NORTHWARD ACROSS
THE ALEUTIANS MONDAY AND THE WESTERN BERING TUESDAY. THE LOW WILL
QUICKLY BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED AND REMAIN QUITE COMPACT IN
SIZE...SO IT WILL ONLY AFFECT A SMALL AREA AS IT MOVES THROUGH.
MEANWHILE...A SHORT-WAVE RIDGE DOWNSTREAM OF THIS LOW WILL AMPLIFY
OVER THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN BERING MONDAY AND TUESDAY RESULTING
IN BENIGN CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...EXPECT BROAD TROUGH TO PERSIST ACROSS THE
REGION. SPREAD IN MODEL SOLUTIONS...ALTHOUGH A LITTLE BETTER
THAN YESTERDAY...MAKES IT HARD TO PINPOINT INDIVIDUAL SYSTEMS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...STORM WARNING 130.
         GALE WARNING 120 125 132 138 140 176 185.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
