SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT THU APR 19 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS OVER MOST OF THE
STATE TODAY WITH A STRONG RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA AND A
WEAKER RIDGE PUSHING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE FROM CANADA. A
CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW LIE WELL SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WITH A TROUGH
EXTENDING NORTHEAST INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE 250 MB JET STREAM IS
ALSO WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE RIDGE AND THEN
AROUND THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE LOW. THIS JET STREAM WILL BE
AMPLIFYING OVER THE NEXT DAY AS THE UPPER LOW PUSHES TOWARD THE GULF
AND THE RIDGE MOVES EASTWARD.
AT THE SURFACE THE LOW JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE GULF OF ALASKA HAS
DEEPENED TO ITS MAXIMUM STRENGTH THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL WEAKEN AS IT
MOVES NORTHWARD ALONG THE SOUTHEAST ALASKA COAST.
A WEAK LOW REMAINS VERTICALLY STACKED UNDER THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND
IS WEAKENING.
FARTHER WEST A LARGE HIGH IS OVER THE ENTIRE BERING SEA BUT THERE IS
A STRENGTHENING LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE BERING
SEA THIS WEEKEND.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL OVERALL. THE LOW IN THE
SOUTHEAST GULF WILL BECOME A COMPLEX LOW BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
THERE IS GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT AS TO HOW IT WILL PROGRESS.
MODELS ARE DOING WELL WITH THE LARGE LOW MOVING INTO THE BERING SEA
THIS WEEKEND. THE BIGGEST ISSUE COMES ON SATURDAY AS THE GFS IS MUCH
FASTER MOVING THIS LOW TO THE NORTHEAST THAN THE NAM OR ECMWF. THIS
IS ALSO A BIT OF A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS GFS SOLUTIONS SO THE GFS WAS
NOT USED AT ALL FOR THE WEEKEND AND BEYOND.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...A SUBTLE SIGN OF THE PROGRESSION INTO SPRING
CAN BE SEEN IN CUMULUS CLOUDS DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS AROUND
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA REMAINS
PARTLY CLOUDY AND THAT SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW BEFORE CLOUDS
INCREASE SATURDAY WITH INCREASING MOISTURE FROM THE GULF.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH NORTHERLY FLOW WITH THE
BERING SEA RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE AREA.
THE NORTHERLY FLOW IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
MARINE STATUS AS WELL AS SNOW...MIXED WITH SOME RAIN AT TIMES...TO
THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE SEA ICE IS STILL VERY FAR SOUTH AND THE
COLD AIR OFF THE ICE PACK WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THINGS COLD AND WET
IN THIS AREA.
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL SEE STRATUS BUT TEMPERATURES
WILL BE MAINLY ABOVE FREEZING AS THE ICE PACK IS FAR ENOUGH NORTH OF
THAT AREA THE ALLOW THE AIR TO WARM UP OVER THE OPEN WATER.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE LARGE LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHWEST
BERING SEA THIS WEEKEND AND THEN SKIM THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AS IT
MOVES EASTWARD EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL BRING SOME WARMER AIR TO
THE ALEUTIANS AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THERE WILL BE CLEARING IN
SOUTHWEST ALASKA EARLY IN THE WEEKEND AS THE RIDGE MOVES OVER THE
AREA. SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA SHOULD KEEP PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
WITH A FEW AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS POPPING UP OVER THE
MOUNTAINS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
