Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 5:00 PM AKST, 11 hours before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKST SUN MAR 4 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A MERIDONAL PATTERN DEVELOPING TODAY OVER THE ALASKA REGION AS A
LARGE COMPLEX TROUGH OVER KAMCHATKA IS AMPLIFYING THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN. BETWEEN A CENTRAL PACIFIC RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING
INTO THE BERING STRAIT REGION AND THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED TROUGH A
SOUTHWESTERLY JET STREAM PUSHES A STREAM OF MOISTURE AND WARM AIR
OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS INTO THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. AT THE
SURFACE A DEEP KAMCHATKA LOW PRESSURE IS IN ITS MATURE STAGES WITH
GENERALLY HIGH PRESSURE OVER MAINLAND ALASKA AND A WEAK LOW PRESSURE
IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE KAMCHATKA LOW AS
WELL AS THE SOUTHWESTERN STREAM OF MOISTURE WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
CURRENT WEATHER FOR MUCH OF THE ALASKA REGION IN THE COMING DAYS. IN
THE SOUTHWEST...MARCH SUN IS ALLOWING FOR A SPEEDY RECOVERY OF THE
BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT. OUT ON THE
ALEUTIANS...THE WARM FRONT IS PUSHING INTO THE AKPEN THIS AFTERNOON
BRINGING SNOW AND GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS. BEHIND THE FRONT A SLUG OF
MUCH WARMER AIR INTO THE MID 40'S IS TURNING PRECIPITATION TO RAIN
AND FROM THE WESTERN ALEUTIAN THROUGH THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS WELL AGREED UPON BY GUIDANCE IN THE SHORT
TERM. THE SURFACE PRESSURE PATTERN ALSO IS VERY SIMILAR FROM MODEL TO
MODEL. THE FIRST DISCREPANCY ARISES WITH A DISTURBANCE COMING FROM
EAST ASIA LATE IN THE WEEK. THE GENERAL PATTERN WILL FEATURE AN LARGE
UPPER TROUGH ENCOMPASSING MOST OF THE BERING INTO THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC WITH A RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE NORTHERN PACIFIC THROUGH
MAINLAND ALASKA. THE JET STREAM BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES WILL BE
THE ACTIVE WEATHER FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDING IN HAS BROUGHT
MOSTLY CLOUD FREE SKIES TO MANY LOCATIONS AROUND THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND. THE NEXT FRONT TO AFFECT THE ANCHORAGE AREA IS CURRENTLY
PUSHING ACROSS BRISTOL BAY. CLOUDS FROM THIS FRONT WILL BEGIN TO
STREAM IN MONDAY MORNING WITH SNOW MOVING IN BY MID DAY. ACCUMULATING
SNOW WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.
ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDWEEK.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...A FRONT MOVING ACROSS BRISTOL BAY WILL BRING
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TO MAINLY FOR COASTAL LOCATIONS. STEADY SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY MONDAY AS THE FRONT
MOVES THROUGH AND BEGIN TO TAPER OFF MONDAY AFTERNOON LEAVING
NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS IN ITS WAKE. AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HANGS
AROUND SNOW SHOWERS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH MID WEEK.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE WARM FRONT HAS PUSHED NEAR THE AKPEN
THIS AFTERNOON BRINGING WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.
BEHIND THE FRONT A BROAD SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW KEEPS SHOWERY
PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST THOROUGH MIDWEEK WITH A STRONGER SYSTEM
WORKING INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS BY WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
AMPLIFIED PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. BEHIND
THE CURRENT SYSTEM A HIGH AMPLITUDE TROUGH WILL SET UP SHOP OVER MUCH
OF MAINLAND ALASKA. A LARGE LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE BERING BY
LATE WEEK BEFORE GETTING CAUGHT IN THE NORTHERLY FLOW AND SHUNTED
SOUTHWARD.
