SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
415 PM AKDT THU SEP 13 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
MUCH OF SOUTHERN ALASKA IS PRECIPITATION FREE THIS AFTERNOON AS AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF ALASKA CONTINUES TO MOVE
OFF TO THE EAST WITH WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING IN FROM THE
WEST IN ITS WAKE. MOST SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA IS
CONFINED TO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AROUND
COOK INLET HAVE ALLOWED A FEW DIURNAL SHOWERS TO DEVELOP OVER THE
NORTHERN KENAI AND SOUTHERN SUSITNA VALLEY AS WELL. A SURFACE LOW
MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA IS BRINGING RAIN TO THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND PRIBILOF ISLANDS...WITH A POTENT UPPER LOW
POISED TO DROP INTO THE BERING OUT OF EASTERN RUSSIA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS HAVE COME INTO DECENT AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM BUT CONTINUE
TO STRUGGLE WITH THE HANDLING OF THE STRONG UPPER LOW MOVING INTO THE
BERING THIS WEEKEND. THERE IS GENERAL CONSENSUS IN BRINGING THE
CENTER OF THE LOW TO THE VICINITY OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON
SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...SOLUTIONS DIVERGE WITH RESPECT TO
POSITION AND STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM THEREAFTER...WITH THE GFS
DEPICTING A DEEPER AND MORE SOUTHERLY SOLUTION THAN THAT OF THE
ECMWF.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
THE BRIEF DRYING TREND OVER SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA WILL CONTINUE INTO
TONIGHT AS WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING QUICKLY MOVES THROUGH FROM THE
WEST. RAIN WILL RETURN ON FRIDAY AS THE NEXT WAVE MOVES THROUGH IN
ADVANCE OF THE MAIN SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE BERING THIS WEEKEND.
RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS THAT SYSTEM APPROACHES.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
RAIN WILL RETURN TO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND ON FRIDAY AS THE WEAK
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CURRENTLY OVERHEAD MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND THE
SURFACE LOW TRAVERSING THE SOUTHERN BERING MOVES INTO BRISTOL BAY.
CONSEQUENTLY...RAIN ON FRIDAY WILL BE MOST PREVALENT IN THE VICINITY
OF BRISTOL BAY. RAIN WILL PERSIST OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS THE MAIN UPPER LOW MOVES INTO THE EASTERN BERING BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...
THE ALEUTIANS WILL SEE A BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIPITATION AS THE SURFACE
LOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...BUT RAIN WILL RETURN TO THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PART OF THE CHAIN BY FRIDAY EVENING AS THE STRONG UPPER LOW
DROPS INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER
THE WESTERN BERING ON SATURDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW...BUT WILL BE
SHORT LIVED AS THE NEXT LOW MOVES OFF OF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DROPPING INTO THE BERING WILL BRING STRONG WINDS
AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND THIS WEEKEND. THE
LIKELIHOOD IS INCREASING THAT THE ANCHORAGE BOWL WILL BE IMPACTED BY
STRONG WINDS BEGINNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY AS A FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL HIGHER THAN NORMAL
UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF MAXIMUM WINDS. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION OVER THE COMING DAYS.
