NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
408 AM AKST SAT FEB 12 2011

.DISCUSSION...
A DEEP COLD TROUGH ACROSS NORTH AK WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THIS
WEEKEND AS A RIDGE AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE BERING SEA. THE UPPER AIR
PATTERN BECOMES MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE NEXT WEEK. CONFIDENCE
CONTINUES TO GROW THAT A VERY ACTIVE PATTERN WITH A SERIES OF
WEATHER SYSTEMS TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA.

SURFACE...A 976 MB LOW NEAR MIDDLETON ISLAND IN THE NORTHEAST
GULF OF AK WILL REMAIN QUASI-STATIONARY THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE
BEGINNING TO FILL AND DRIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. A
LOW THAT IS EVIDENT ON HRPT SATELLITE SHOTS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP NORTH OF THE CANADIAN ARCHIPELAGO TODAY AND WILL DROP
DOWN TO ABOUT 300 MILES NORTH OF BARROW BY SUNDAY EVENING AS A 995
MB LOW. RIDGING DEVELOPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL BERING SEA BY THIS
EVENING AND MOVES INTO THE EASTERN BERING SEA SUNDAY AS A DEEP LOW
APPROACHES SOUTHERN KAMCHATKA.

INTERIOR...THE MAIN STORY FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS WILL BE THE COLD
TEMPERATURES.  THE SNOW IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER WILL CONTINUE TO
GRADUALLY WIND DOWN TODAY TO AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW OR SNOW SHOWERS.
THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW IN THE GULF
WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE AREAS OF STRONGER WIND IN AREAS SOUTH OF
THE PARK ENTRANCE AND IN AREAS SUCH AS ISABEL PASS.  AS THE FALLING
SNOW WINDS DOWN THE MAIN CONCERN WILL SHIFT FROM BLOWING SNOW TO LOW
WIND CHILLS. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE EASTERN AK HAS
BEEN EXTENDED INTO TODAY AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY THIS EVENING. STRONGER WIND IS ALSO EXPECTED
TO THE SOUTH OF THE DENALI PARK ENTRANCE THROUGH TONIGHT AND THE
WIND CHILL ADVISORY WAS EXTENDED FOR THIS AREA. THE LAST
OBSERVATIONS FROM CANTWELL LAST EVENING STILL HAD 20-25 MPH WINDS.

NORTH SLOPE...AS THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE HIGH ARCTIC DROPS SOUTH
TONIGHT A WEST WIND WILL BE ON THE INCREASE.  THERE WILL PROBABLY
NOT BE ENOUGH WIND FOR ANY BLOWING SNOW ISSUES UNTIL SUNDAY...BUT
LOW WIND CHILLS ARE LIKELY ALONG THE BEAUFORT SEA COAST TONIGHT
WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE CONSIDERABLY COLDER THAN ALONG THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN ARCTIC COAST.  WILL ISSUE WIND CHILL ADVISORIES FOR
TONIGHT FOR ZONES 203 AND 204. EXPECT THAT TEMPS WILL SLOWLY RISE
TONIGHT EAST OF BARROW...BUT IF THEY FAIL TO RISE THE ADVISORIES
MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO WIND CHILL WARNINGS FOR A TIME.

WEST COAST...THE GRADIENT ALONG MUCH OF THE WEST COAST WILL INCREASE
THIS WEEKEND AS THE SURFACE RIDGE GRADUALLY BUILDS TO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA ON SUNDAY AND LOW PRESSURE REMAINS CAMPED OUT IN THE
GULF.  THERE IS ENOUGH WIND AND LOW ENOUGH TEMPERATURES FOR WIND
CHILL ADVISORIES ALONG THE BERING STRAIT COAST AND ALONG PARTS OF
THE CHUKCHI SEA COAST. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED FOR ZONE
210 TONIGHT WITH THE EXPECTATION OF SOMEWHAT STRONGER WEST WIND
NEAR DEERING.

MEDIUM RANGE...A VERY ACTIVE PATTERN EXPECTED NEXT WEEK WITH
IMPACTS EXPECTED ACROSS ALL OF NORTHERN ALASKA. THE MODELS ARE IN
SURPRISINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT GIVEN THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE
PATTERN. THREE STORM SYSTEMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT THE
WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND OF FEB 19-20. THE FIRST LOW IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN TIP OF KAMCHATKA TO THE
SOUTHERN CHUKCHI SEA BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS STORM WILL LIKELY
PRODUCE AREAS OF HEAVY SNOW AND POSSIBLE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ALONG
MUCH OF THE WEST COAST. THE SECOND STORM IS EXPECTED TO BE MUCH
DEEPER AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE BERING SEA AND HAS A MODERATE TO
HIGH POTENTIAL OF PRODUCING HEAVY SNOW AND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS
ALONG THE WEST COAST. THE MODELS ARE IN AMAZINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT
ON THE DEPTH AND MOVEMENT OF THE LOW. THIS SECOND LOW LOOKS TO
FOLLOW A TRACK FURTHER TO THE EAST THAN THE FIRST LOW AND OPENS
THE DOOR FOR STRONG WEST/SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR THAT
COULD POTENTIAL TRANSPORT SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE AND HEAVY SNOWFALL
ACROSS MUCH OF THE INTERIOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. IN THE WAKE OF
THIS LOW THE MODELS ARE NOT IN STELLAR AGREEMENT...BUT THEY ALL
HAVE A THIRD LOW THAT COULD IMPACT MUCH OF THE AREA BY NEXT
WEEKEND. ALL IN ALL...IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY STORMY PATTERN WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER IN MANY AREAS.
