Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 2:29 PM AKDT, 13 hours 28 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
229 PM AKDT WED SEP 7 2011

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER AIR...TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS NORTHERN ALASKA THROUGH
FRI...THEN FLOW BECOMES WEST TO EAST. RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE
INTERIOR ON SAT...BUT LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN RUSSIA WILL KEEP
THE WEST COAST AND EASTERN BERING SEA UNDER A STRONG SOUTH FLOW
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

SURFACE...A 1008 MB LOW 340 NM NORTH OF BARROW WILL MOVE TO 500 NM
NORTH OF PRUDHOE BAY AS A 1005 MB LOW BY 4PM THU. A WEATHER
FRONT OVER INTERIOR ALASKA WILL MOVE OVER THE EASTERN ARCTIC COAST
OF ALASKA THU AND WEAKEN. A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN
CHUKCHI SEA WILL BUILD EAST OVER THE ARCTIC COAST OF ALASKA
THROUGH THU. A LOW OVER EASTERN RUSSIA WILL MOVE OVER THE CHUKCHI
SEA AS A 988 MB LOW FRI AND THEN MOVE EAST JUST NORTH OF THE
ARCTIC COAST OF ALASKA ON FRI NIGHT AND SAT. STRONG LOW PRESSURE
WILL DEVELOP OVER EASTERN RUSSIA ON SAT.

NORTH SLOPE...RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH A WEATHER FRONT MOVING EAST
WILL CONTINUE OVER THE BEAUFORT SEA COAST THROUGH THU NIGHT...THEN
END BY FRI EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE ARCTIC COAST.
STRONG LOW PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA THU NIGHT AND
FRI WILL INCREASE SOUTH WINDS WEST OF BARROW FRI...THEN FROM BARROW
EAST...FRI NIGHT AND SAT. PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW MAY
START AS SNOW...BUT SHOULD CHANGE TO RAIN AS WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE LOW INCREASES.

WEST COAST...HEAVY SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN CANCELED WITH THIS
AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL HAVE
MUCH MORE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SURF...AND IN ADDITION WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING BEGINNING FRI NIGHT AND CONTINUING
SATURDAY. THIS SITUATION IS DISCUSSED IN THE COASTAL HAZARD
POTENTIAL SECTION OF THIS DISCUSSION.

INTERIOR...SOUTH WINDS THROUGH ALASKA RANGE PASSES AND DELTA WILL
BE DIMINISHING TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE
EASTERN INTERIOR. A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE INTERIOR
THU THROUGH FRI. THE SOUTHEAST INTERIOR...WHICH HAD HIGHS IN THE
60S TODAY WILL HAVE HIGHS MAINLY BELOW 60 BY FRI. THE FRONT WILL
BRING RAIN AND SNOW FOR THE BROOKS RANGE...RAIN LIKELY FOR THE
CENTRAL PORTION OF THE INTERIOR...AND SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS FOR
THE EASTERN INTERIOR. RAINFALL OR MELTED SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE
GENERALLY LESS THAN ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH. THE EASTERN INTERIOR
SHOULD HAVE ONE TENTH OF AN INCH OF RAIN OR LESS.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
EFFECT THE BERING AND CHUKCHI SEAS BEGINNING THU EVENING AND
