SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SUN SEP 16 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LOCATED OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WITH AN
IMPRESSIVE RIDGE THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ALASKA MAINLAND AND EASTERN
PACIFIC. AN INTENSE 160 KT UPPER LEVEL JET THAT RESIDES ALONG
THE PERIPHERY OF THESE FEATURES IS PUMPING A STEADY SUPPLY OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE NORTHWARD INTO MAINLAND ALASKA. DUE TO THE SLOW
WEST TO EAST PROGRESSION OF THIS SYSTEM AND THE COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF
AVAILABLE MOISTURE...SEVERAL AREA RIVERS HAVE APPROACHED MODERATE
FLOOD STAGE TODAY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN IN PLACE OVER THE SHORT TERM...MODELS
ARE IN GENERALLY GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AS A
RESULT...THE HIGH RESOLUTION NAM MODEL WAS THE MODEL OF CHOICE TODAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...STEADY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT MUCH OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION LATE INTO TONIGHT. HEAVY RAIN
WILL CONTINUE TO SWELL RIVERS AND STREAMS IN REGIONS MAINLY ALONG THE
GULF COAST. MEANWHILE...STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS COOK INLET THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. ONLY A BRIEF BREAK IS EXPECTED MONDAY...BEFORE A
FRONT APPROACHES THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS
FRONT WILL LIKELY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG WINDS AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

.SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
VERTICALLY STACKED LOW NEAR BETHEL IS SUPPORTING WIDESPREAD
GUSTY WINDS AND SHOWERS ACROSS MUCH OF THE BRISTOL BAY AND KUSKOKWIM
DELTA REGIONS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND CONDITIONS WILL
GENERALLY DRY OUT ACROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA THIS EVENING AS A WEAK
RIDGE BUILDS IN. HOWEVER A FRONT WILL BRING RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS TO
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AGAIN BY MONDAY MORNING. UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE REGION OVER THE SHORT TERM AS SYSTEMS PROGRESS
EASTWARD ACROSS THE BERING.

.ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...
WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNSETTLED OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
WHILE A WEAK RIDGE IS SUPPORTING RATHER QUIET WEATHER ACROSS THE
CENTRAL BERING THIS EVENING...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED NORTH OF
SHEMYA AND ITS ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL BRING RAIN TO THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN BERING BY MONDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
AN ACTIVE AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT WEEK. MODELS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT UPPER LEVEL JETS WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT
MOISTURE FROM THE TROPICS TOWARDS THE ALASKA MAINLAND. AS A
RESULT...GUSTY WINDS THROUGH LOCAL GAPS AND LOCAL FLOODING WILL
REMAIN A POSSIBILITY.
