EXTENSION TOWARD THE NORTHEAST IN THE PRESSURE FIELD WHERE A LOW WILL
FORM THIS MORNING SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND. OTHER SMALLER LOWS ARE
SOUTHWEST OF THE BERING STRAIT AND IN THE BERING SEA WEST OF THE
DATELINE.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST 3 DAYS OR SO. IN
THE EARLY PERIODS THE NAM WAS USED FOR DETAIL. THIS SOLUTION DEVELOPS
A LOW NEAR KODIAK TODAY WHICH ROTATES TO BRISTOL BAY AND WESTERN AK
OVERNIGHT AND THEN DRIFTS NORTH. THE BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
BERING SHOWS SIGNS OF CHANGE TONIGHT AS THE BLOCKING RIDGE OVER
WESTERN CANADA BEGINS TO MOVE EAST. THE SPEED AT WHICH THIS WILL
OCCUR DETERMINED THE MODEL CHOICE. THE LOW SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS MOVES TO JUST EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND TUE NIGHT. AT THIS
POINT THE EC IS USED BECAUSE IT STALLS THE LOW BEFORE MOVING IT
ACROSS THE GULF WED NIGHT INTO THU. THE NAM IS SLOWER AND THE GFS IS
TOO FAST WITH THIS MOVEMENT. THE GULF LOW THEN MOVES TOWARD SOUTHEAST
AK WHERE IT SLOWLY DECAYS ON FRI.

MEANWHILE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN BERING MOVES EAST IN THE
WAKE OF THE LOW MOVING INTO THE GULF...SPREADS ACROSS THE AKPEN
WED...AND MOVES INTO THE GULF FRI. A THIRD LOW APPROACHES THE WESTERN
ALEUTIANS WED...WEAKENING OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THU.

BEYOND THE SHORT TERM A BLEND OF EC AND HPC GUIDANCE WAS USED.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...THE LOW MOVING ALONG THE ALEUTIANS WILL BRING BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TODAY...AND STORM FORCE WINDS
ALONG WITH RAIN AND SNOW TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THROUGH TONIGHT.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING TUE BEFORE HIGH
PRESSURE DRYS OUT MUCH OF THE AREA INTO WED. STRONG SOUTH FLOW OVER
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE BERING WILL BRING SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN WED
NIGHT INTO THU.

FOR SOUTHWEST AK...RAIN AND SNOW WILL INTENSIFY LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT AS THE LOW FORMING OVER KODIAK ISLAND MOVES TO BRISTOL BAY.
MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW WILL TIGHTENED THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE
EXTREME EASTERN BERING. STRONG NORTH FLOW WILL BRING SNOW AND
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO NUNIVAK ISLAND THIS EVENING WHILE WARM AIR
ALOFT WILL BRING SNOW... RAIN...AND SOME FREEZING RAIN TO THE
KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA. AS THE BRISTOL BAY LOW MOVES NORTH AND
DISSIPATES INTO WED...PRECIPITATION SHOULD ALSO DIMINISH OVER
SOUTHWEST AK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA WED THROUGH THU.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK RANGE...THE FRONT MOVING TO THE NORTHEAST
GULF WILL BRING RAIN OR SHOWERS TO MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH STRONG
WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND HIGH WINDS PORTAGE VALLEY AND EASTERN
TURNAGAIN ARM THROUGH TONIGHT. RAIN WILL TAPER OFF BEHIND THE FRONT
TUE...BUT THE LOW MOVING ACROSS THE GULF WILL BRING ANOTHER FRONT
NEAR THE COAST WED WITH COASTAL RAIN AND SOME INLAND SHOWERS. AS THE
LOW MOVES TO THE EASTERN GULF...COLDER AIR WILL RETURN TO INLAND
ZONES WED. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS EAST ON THU...ENDING ANY RESIDUAL
SHOWER ACTIVITY WEST OF THE TALKEETNA MOUNTAINS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

A WEAKENING FRONT MOVING EAST WILL BRING WIND AND RAIN TO THE BERING
INTO THE WEEKEND. EXCEPT FOR SOME RAIN ALONG THE WEST COAST...
SOUTHWEST AK AND AREAS SOUTHEAST OF THE AK RANGE WILL REMAIN DRY INTO
THE WEEKEND.
