Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 5:00 AM AKDT, 4 hours 55 minutes before
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK 500 AM AKDT FRI APR 6 2012 .MODEL DISCUSSION... MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK...ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME NOTABLE DIFFERENCES IN THE DETAILS OF THE MODELS IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. WHILE THE NAM AND ECMWF HAVE INITIALIZED WELL...THE LOWER RESOLUTION OF THE GFS IS CAUSING IT TO MISS SOME SMALLER FEATURES OVER THE MAINLAND. OF NOTE IN THE EXTENDED...THERE IS SOME GREAT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF. THE NAM AND ECMWF ARE THE PREFERRED MODELS IN THE SHORT TERM...WHILE THE ECMWF IS PREFERRED IN THE EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST. .ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS... A LONGWAVE TROUGH WITH SEVERAL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS WITHIN IT IS MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING AND MAINLAND THIS MORNING. THERE IS VERY WEAK RIDGING BEHIND THIS LONGWAVE TROUGH...WITH ANOTHER TROUGH FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. THE STRONGEST SURFACE LOW THIS MORNING IS OVER THE CENTRAL BERING...NEAR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS...HOWEVER THERE ARE SEVERAL WEAK SURFACE LOWS OVER THE MAINLAND...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE ALASKA RANGE.
