TO 5000 FEET IN THE SOUTH.
SINCE MANY AREAS STILL HAVE A DEEP SNOW PACK THE RAIN ON TOP OF
THE SNOW WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH INCREASED SNOW LOADS, PONDING OF
WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS, AND WILL INCREASE THE THREAT OF AVALANCHES
AND MUD SLIDES. THINK BEST WAY TO ADDRESS THEIR COMBINED AFFECT
WILL BE IN AN SPS.
GOOD AGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS IN THE SHORT TERM. NAM CONTINUES TO
BE TOO COLD WITH ITS TEMPERATURES SO WILL STAY CLOSER TO THE GFS
FOR GRIDS.
LONG TERM...
OVERALL PATTERN REMAINS PROGRESSIVE THIS MORNING WITH A MAJOR COLD UPR
LOW OVR KAMCHATKA...DEEP SHORTWAVE UPR TROF ALG 165W...AND A HIGH
AMPLITUDE UPR RIDGE ALG 135W (OVR THE PANHANDLE) WHICH WILL CLEARLY
MOVE E INTO B.C. & YUKON BY THIS EVENING. THIS SETS UP A VERY STRONG
SW FETCH ALOFT OVR ALL OF SEAK FOR WARM AND WET AND WIND. SW JET CORE
OVR PAYA. CHECK OUT WIND WSW 135KT 34K FT AT YAKUTAT 30/12Z RAOB. SEE
SHORT TERM ABOVE FOR THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS WITH THIS SETUP.
THE UPR TROF ALG 165W AT 30/12Z HAS WINTRY COLD AIR IN IT DOWN TO -36C
AT 500 HPA AND IS MOVING RAPIDLY WITH JET...WILL BE OVR YUKON
BY 00Z TRANSITION TIME AS A LOWER AMPLITUDE RIDGE BUILDS ALG 140W
TO GIVE US WESTERLIES ALF. MOST SIGNIFICANT FEATURE IN THE LONG TERM
IS THAT IN SPITE OF SHORT WAVES COMING INTO UPR RIDGE FROM SW...MEAN
POSITION OF UPR RDG WILL OSCILLATE OVR THE GULF OF ALASKA THRU THE
WEEKEND WHICH GIVES US WARM AIR AND PERIODS OF WET CONDITIONS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. NEW SIGNAL IS THAT EARLY NEXT WEEK PATTERN CHANGES TO
STRONG ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE YUKON FOR OUR COLD DRY WINDY
PATTERN SAY BY TUE.
TIMING IS TRICKY SO CONFIDENCE ON THE DETAILS ONLY MODERATE THROUGH
SAT. MODERATE CONFIDENCE ON THE BIG PATTERN CHANGE NEXT WEEK WHICH
WILL BE FUN TO SEE IF IT COMES TRUE. USED 30/12Z AK-GFS-40 FOR MUCH OF
THIS FORECAST AND PREVIOUS SHIFTS GRIDS.
