SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKST FRI FEB 3 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS IN GENERAL ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT ON THE
SYNOPTIC SCALE THROUGH ABOUT 36 HRS. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES CREEP IN
AFTER THAT. THE GFS MODEL IN GENERAL SEEMS REASONABLE...SO GRIDS WILL
BE ADJUSTED IN THAT DIRECTION.

.UPPER LEVELS..A VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE OVER PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS
AFTERNOON MOVES RAPIDLY NORTH TONIGHT. THE LONG WAVE EXTENDING
SOUTHEAST FROM A LOW OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA...ACROSS SW ALASKA...TO THE
WESTERN GULF MOVES THROUGH COOK INLET EARLY THIS EVENING AND THE
WESTERN CANADA BY SAT MORNING. THE LONG WAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST
ACROSS THE BERING SEA STALLS OVER THE EAST CENTRAL BERING
SEA/ALEUTIANS SAT AS A RIDGE BUILDS WEST FROM CANADA. A SHORT WAVE
OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC MOVES TO THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA SUN
AFTERNOON.

.SURFACE...THE MAIN FEATURE IN THE EAST IS THE LOW COMPLEX
APPROACHING SOUTHERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY
CENTER ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORT WAVE MOVED INLAND OVER THE COPPER
RIVER BASIN THIS MORNING. A SECONDARY CENTER APPROACHING SOUTHERN
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND THIS AFTERNOON WEAKENS TONIGHT AND SAT AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM CANADA. A FRONTAL TROUGH OVER THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC...ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER SHORT WAVE...MOVES TO THE NORTHERN
GULF SUN AFTERNOON.

A 950 MB LOW APPROACHING ADAK THIS AFTERNOON WEAKENS AS IT MOVES TO
NEAR THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS SAT NIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED FRONTAL TROUGH
MOVES TO THE TO JUST SOUTH OF THE PRIBILOFS AND EXTENDS SOUTH THROUGH
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THIS EVENING. THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONT
CONTINUES TO MOVES EAST AND NORTH AND IMPACTS THE AK PEN AND SW
ALASKA TONIGHT/SAT. THE BACKSIDE OF THE FRONT MOVES SLOWLY ACROSS THE
WEST AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON AND SAT.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WILL END THIS
EVENING IN COOK INLET AND THE REMAINDER OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WITH
THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER SHORT WAVE LATER TONIGHT. DRIER CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION SAT AND INTO SUN MORNING AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS WEST FROM CANADA. CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL
SPREAD NORTH INTO THE GULF SUN AND SUN NIGHT AS A FRONTAL TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTH. PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY BE A MIX OF SNOW
AND RAIN.

.SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND AK PEN...
AN APPROACHING WEATHER FRONT WILL BRING HIGH WIND WARNING CONDITIONS
WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE AK PEN EARLY THIS EVENING AND
BLIZZARD POTENTIAL TO THE DELTA AND BRISTOL BAY ZONES LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY SAT. WINDS OVER THE AK PEN SHOULD DROP BELOW WARNING
LEVELS SAT AFTERNOON. BLIZZARD POTENTIAL ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL
PERSIST INTO SAT NIGHT.

.ALEUTIANS...
STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS AND SNOW ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE OCCLUDED FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW MOVING WEST ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS IS PRODUCING
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OVER PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THESE
CONDITIONS MAY SPREAD EAST TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS SAT.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
GLOBAL MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER WESTERN
BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS WEEKEND...USHERING IN A CHANGE TO THE LONG WAVE
WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE ALASKAN DOMAIN. THIS NEW PATTERN WILL
FEATURE BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW AND BRING MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES TO
MAINLAND ALASKA. OVERALL...EXPECT WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO
PREVAIL FOR INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE STATE FOR THE NEXT WEEK (AFTER
TODAY)...WITH PERIODS OF RAIN OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVER COASTAL
LOCATIONS. THIS NEW PATTERN WILL FEATURE THE MOST ACTIVE WEATHER
REMAINING OVER THE BERING SEA REGION FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
