SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT FRI AUG 24 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE MAIN FEATURE DRIVING SENSIBLE WEATHER IS A STRONG STACKED LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CHUKCHI PENINSULA THIS MORNING. A 977 MB LOW
COMBINED WITH A LINGERING NORTHERN PACIFIC RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE IS
MAKING FOR A TIGHT GRADIENT AND FAST WESTERLY FLOW. A WARM FRONT
RAPIDLY MOVING ONTO THE SOUTHWESTERN MAINLAND IS SPREADING RAIN
EASTWARD AS WELL AS A FEW THUNDERSTORM JUST ALONG THE COAST. THE
FASTER FLOW ALOFT IS PUSHING YESTERDAY'S UPPER LOW INTO THE GULF OF
ALASKA WHERE THE STACKED SYSTEM IS WEAKENING.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THERE ARE STILL SOME STRENGTH ISSUES ON THE DEVELOPING
LOW OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BUT CONSENSUS IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE
PREVIOUS COUPLE DAYS. GENERALLY ALL GUIDANCE HAS BEEN A LITTLE SLOW
WITH THE EMBEDDED FEATURES AS WE TRANSITION INTO A MORE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...THE MAINLAND LIES BETWEEN SYSTEMS THIS MORNING
AS THE GULF LOW PRESSURE SLIDES TO THE SOUTHEAST. UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS
WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST THIS MORNING...FOLLOWED BY
PASSING SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. BEST CHANCES LIES ALONG
WINDWARD MOUNTAINS AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE PASSES OVERHEAD. THAT
QUICK MOVING SYSTEM WILL EXIT ON SATURDAY BRINGING A SHORT BREAK FROM

CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION BEFORE THE NEXT WAVE ROLLS THROUGH ON
SUNDAY.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...A QUICK MOVING WARM FRONT IS SPREADING RAIN AND
GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS EASTWARD FROM THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA INTO THE
VALLEY AND BRISTOL BAY REGION THIS MORNING. BEHIND THE FRONT STOUT
WESTERLY WINDS WILL REMAIN BUT DRY CONDITION SHOULD TAKE HOLD INTO
SATURDAY. SATURDAY AFTERNOON THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL SPREAD
ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN OVER THE SOUTHWEST AND LINGER THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING BEFORE DEPARTING.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...RELATIVELY QUIET IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION
SAVE FOR SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS ALONG A WEAKENING FRONT DRAPED FROM
WEST TO EAST OVER THE BERING. AREAS OF DENSE FOG ARE POSSIBLE OVER
THE WESTERN CHAIN UNDER WEAK FLOW. THE FRONT WILL SLOWLY STALL OVER
THE BERING TODAY KEEPING LOW CEILINGS MAINLY ALONG THE FRONT WITH
CLEARING TO THE NORTH. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
WESTERN CHAIN LATE TONIGHT AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND GUSTY
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THE WEST AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. THIS SYSTEM WILL
DRAG A SLOW MOVING FRONT FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE WEEKEND.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN THAT HAS BEEN DEVELOPING LOOKS TO GIVE WAY TO
A MORE AMPLIFIED STRUCTURE TOWARD THE END OF THE SHORT TERM...EARLY
NEXT WEEK. AT THIS POINT GUIDANCE IS STRUGGLING WITH THE CHANGE AND
QUICKLY BECOME OUT OF PHASE BUT THE GLOBAL MODELS DO POINT TO THE
SAME DEVELOPING SYNOPTIC PATTERN WITH TROUGHING OVER THE BERING SEA
AND RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN GULF...KEEPING THE SOUTHCENTRAL UNDER
SOUTHWESTERN FLOW. RIGHT ON PAR WITH CLIMATOLOGY FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR.
