SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
215 PM AKST WED FEB 2 2011

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN ACROSS THE ALASKA FORECAST AREA CONTINUES TO
PROGRESS SLOWLY EASTWARD WITH THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL JET WELL TO THE
SOUTH ACROSS THE PACIFIC. CURRENTLY A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CURVES
FROM THE CANADIAN ROCKIES TOWARDS EASTERN MAINLAND ALASKA. AN UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA IS BECOMING A CUTOFF LOW AS
THE RIDGE ACROSS THE BERING BUILDS EASTWARD. MEANWHILE...A LOW NORTH
OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHWARD ALONG THE
DATELINE.

.AT THE SURFACE...A WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS MOVING INTO THE
GULF OF ALASKA TO THE EAST OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW.  AN ASSOCIATED
FRONT OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA HAS BEEN BRINGING STEADY SNOW TO THE
KENAI PENINSULA AND SUSITNA VALLEY WHILE ANCHORAGE REMAINS
DOWNSLOPED. ENOUGH MOISTURE IS WRAPPING AROUND AT MIDLEVELS FOR
STEADY SNOW ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RNAGE IN THE BRISTOL BAY REGION THIS
MORNING. FURTHER WEST A SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE BERING
WHILE THE SURFACE LOW NORTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS IS DISSIPATING
AS IT MOVES AWAY INTO THE BERING.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE PROGRESSION
OF LARGE SCALE FEATURES BUT ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME IN CAPTURING
THE LOCATION OF THE STRONGEST FORCING FOR THE SNOW AND DOWNSLOPING.
THE NAM WAS USED OVER THE EAST DOMAIN TO BETTER CAPTURE THESE
FEATURES BUT THERE IS STILL POOR RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY IN THE AMOUNT
OF DOWNSLOPING THAT WILL OCCUR OVER ANCHORAGE OVER THE NEXT DAY. OUT
WEST THE GFS IS SHOWING THE BEST RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY AND CAPTURING
THE PATH OF THE ALEUTIAN LOW WELL.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL...FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS AND PLENTY OF PACIFIC
MOISTURE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT STEADY SNOW AND RAIN ACROSS MUCH OF
SOUTHCENTRAL AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS PROGRESSES INTO THE GULF.
STEADY SNOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE SUSITNA VALLEY THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS WITH ANOTHER 3 TO 5 INCHES EXPECTED AS THIS LOW
PROGRESSES INLAND TO THE KENAI PENINSULA. SNOW WILL BE LIGHTER ACROSS
THE ANCHORAGE BOWL AREA DUE TO DOWNSLOPING AND ONLY 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED. EXPECT SNOW TO BEGIN TO TAPER ALONG THE KENAI PENINSULA AS
THE FRONT MOVES NORTHWARD AND INLAND THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH SNOW WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW MOVES EASTWARD... DRY AIR WILL BEGIN TO WORK ITS WAY INTO THIS
SYSTEM AND LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS.

.SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SNOW ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN
RANGE IN THE BRISTOL BAY REGION. THIS SNOW WILL BEGIN TO GRAUDALLY
WEAKEN TOMORROW AS THE LOW SLOWLY MOVES EASTWARD. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT
COASTAL STRATUS AND FOG...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST AS THE SURFACE
HIGH MOVES INLAND.

.BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...EXPECT ONLY LIGHT SNOW AND WEAKENING
WINDS AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM NEAR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS CONTINUES
TO MOVE NORTHWARD AND AWAY FROM THE REGION.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING...120 176
         HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING...160
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
