SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
100 PM AKDT MON APR 30 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT-TERM.
LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF CONTINUES TO SLIDE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. A NEW LOW FORMS NEAR PWS TUE IN
RESPONSE TO COLD AIR MOVING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST.  THIS UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH IN THE NORTHWEST IS PROGED TO REMAIN WELL TO OUR NORTH
BUT LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR SHOULD START TO MOVE INTO THE UPPER KUSKO AND
SUSITNA VALLEY EARLY TUE MORNING. THIS COOLER AIR MAY GENERATE SOME
SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS TUE MORNING BUT MAINLY AT HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN BERING THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. SOME MODEL DISAGREEMENT STARTING AROUND LATE
WED. GRIDDED FORECAST IN THE WEST FROM WED ONWARD BASED ON GFS
SOLUTION.
