Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 7:46 AM AKST, 5 hours 59 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
746 AM AKST FRI DEC 9 2011

.SYNOPSIS...
ALOFT...THE LONG WAVE PATTERN CONSISTING OF A DEEP TROUGH OVER THE
BERING AND NW PACIFIC AND A RIDGE OVER THE NE PACIFIC AND EASTERN ALASKA
WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT WEEK. THIS MEANS THE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING A SERIES OF STORMS NE OVER NORTHERN ALASKA. THIS
WILL CONTINUE THE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND MOISTURE TO MOST
OF NORTHERN ALASKA WITH CHINOOK WINDS IN THE SE INTERIOR
ACCOMPANYING EACH STORM.

850 MB TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO NEAR 0C WITH THE NEXT FRONT
COMING INTO SW ALASKA SAT. THIS WILL BRING A CHANCE OF FREEZING
RAIN TO THE SW INTERIOR AND WEST COAST SOUTH OF THE BERING STRAIT.

SURFACE...A 993 MB LOW OVER THE SEWARD PENINSULA WILL MOVE TO 50 NM
SOUTH OF BARROW AS A 100 MB LOW BY 3PM FRI THEN CONTINUE NORTHEAST.
THERE WILL BE 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW ALONG AND NE OF THIS LOW. AN OCCLUDED
FRONT FROM THE LOW STRETCHES NE AND THERE WILL BE AREAS OF FZDZ IN
THE WARM AIR WITH THIS NEAR THE LOW.

AN ARCTIC FRONT STRETCHING SOUTH FROM THE LOW TO THE YUKON DELTA
WILL MOVE TO UMIAT TO DENALI BY 3PM FRI AND TO THE ALCAN BORDER BY
3AM SAT. EXPECT 1-2 INCHES OF SNOW AND AND SW WINDS 15 KT ALONG
THIS FRONT AS IT MOVES EAST ACROSS THE INTERIOR TODAY.

A STRONG LOW IN THE SOUTHWEST BERING SEA WILL MOVE TO THE THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA AS A 955 MB LOW BY 3PM SAT AND THEN SLOWLY
WEAKEN. A WEATHER FRONT STRETCHING EAST FROM THIS LOW WILL MOVE TO
THE NORTHERN BERING SEA BY 3PM SAT AND INTO THE SOUTHERN CHUKCHI
SEA SUN. EXPECT GALES WITH THIS FRONT. EXPECT 4-8 INCHES OF SNOW
AND BLOWING SNOW ALONG THE WEST COAST ALONG THIS FRONT. THERE WILL
BE AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN WITH THE FRONT FROM THE BERING STRAIT
SOUTH AS WELL. SINCE TEMPERATURES ARE WARM BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
WILL NOT BE AS WIDESPREAD BUT WILL HAVE PLENTY OF WINTER HAZARDS
SO THERE ARE WINTER STORM WATCHES FOR WEST COAST AND SW INTERIOR
ZONES SOUTH OF THE BERING STRAIT.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS INITIALIZE WELL AND SIMILAR SOLUTIONS ALOFT. DIFFER SOME
ON STRENGTH OF BERING SEA LOW SAT-SUN WITH THE NAM BEING 6 MB
DEEPER THAN THE GFS. THE WINDS SPEEDS AND GRADIENTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS OVER NORTHERN ALASKA ARE SIMILAR HOWEVER. WE USED THE
GFS FOR THE MOST PART.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
