.SHORT TERM...UPR RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD OVR AK THIS MORNING
WITH THE FLOW ALF OVR SE BECOMING MORE NORTHERLY. HUGE FETCH INTO
WESTERN AK FOR STRONG WARM ADVECTION TO KEEP THIS RIDGE GOING.
THIS HELPS BUILD A STRONG ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE OVR THE YUKON THAT
WILL PERSIST FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. SOME DETAILS: INTERESTING TO
NOTE THAT ELDRED ROCK CONTINUES WITH A WHOLE GALE BUT WITHOUT THE
USUAL WIND AT SKAGWAY DUE TO AN INVERSION. WE CONTINUE TO CLING TO
AN ADVISORY THERE COUNTING ON COLDER AIR TO FINALLY ACCELERATE TO
THE SURFACE. KEPT FREEZING SPRAY OUT OF THE NORTHERN WATERS UNTIL
TONIGHT DUE TO AIR TEMPS NOT COOLING RAPIDLY YET. FLIRTED WITH FOG
THIS MORNING WHERE THE DRY AIR HAS NOT MADE IT DOWN TO THE SURFACE
FOR PAPG AND JUNEAU. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE A GUST MAKES IT DOWN TO
DOUGLAS AS PER THE PROFILER THIS MORNING...BUT EXPECT GUSTS TO
BECOME MORE FREQUENT TONIGHT EVERYWHERE WITH COLD DRY AIR.
SOUTHERN PANHANDLE TO HAVE LESS WIND INITIALLY AND MODIFIED MAX
TEMPS A LITTLE HIGHER TODAY FOR MOST AREAS THAN PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT. CONFIDENCE HIGH FOR THE PATTERN AND MODERATE FOR THE
DETAILS.

&&

.LONG TERM...MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH PERSISTING
LARGE HIGH PRESSURE ALL LEVELS ACROSS THE ALASKAN INTERIOR TO THE
YUKON WITH A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH ALONG THE PANHANDLE COAST
THROUGH MUCH OF THE NEXT WEEK. THIS SYNOPTIC SETTING WILL MAINTAIN
OFFSHORE FLOW GRADUALLY INCREASING AND BRINGING COLD AIR MASS FROM
THE ARCTIC CONTINENT. STRONG GUSTY OUTFLOW WILL LIKELY TO PERSIST
OUT OF INTERIOR PASSES AND BAYS. NORTHERLY PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
REMAIN TIGHT FOR ADVISORY LEVEL WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE SKAGWAY
AREA...GALE FORCE WINDS WITH FREEZING SPRAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN
INNER CHANNELS...AND GUSTY OUTFLOW OUT OF INTERIOR PASSES ACROSS
THE CENTRAL INNER CHANNELS. MOSTLY SUNNY DAYS AND CLEAR NIGHTS ARE
EXPECTED. THE STRENGTH OF ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL BE EVEN ENHANCED BY
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AND THE EXPECTED DAYTIME HIGHS WILL FALL
MOSTLY IN THE TEENS TOWARD THE NEXT WEEKEND. REFRESHED THE
