SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT SUN SEP 23 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE MAIN CENTER OF ACTION ON THE WEATHER MAP IS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
THAT CONTINUES TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN OVER THE NORTHERN
BERING SEA REGION. A SECOND UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LOCATED JUST NORTH AND
EAST OF KODIAK ISLAND THIS MORNING...BUT WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE
THROUGH TODAY AS THE PRIMARY SURFACE LOW MOVES INLAND AND THE
RESIDUAL LOW DRIFTS NORTH AND EAST TO NEAR PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
BEFORE DISSIPATING LATE TONIGHT.

AS AN UNUSUALLY STRONG DOWNSTREAM RIDGE OVER WESTERN CANADA BEGINS TO
MOVE EAST TODAY...AND THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHERN BERING WILL
MOVE NORTH TO NEAR COASTAL NORTHWEST ALASKA. MEANWHILE...A SMALL
DISTURBANCE WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL QUICKLY STRENGTHEN
TODAY INTO A LARGE AND BROAD NEW CENTER OF ACTION OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND ALASKA PENINSULA. MULTIPLE SURFACE LOWS WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS ON THE DOWNSTREAM SIDE OF THIS TROUGH AS
A STRONG JET STREAK DIVES INTO THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE DOING A DECENT JOB OVERALL. THE GFS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB
OF DEVELOPING MODERATE SHOWERS OVER THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA NORTH
TO THE MATANUSKA VALLEY DURING THE EVENING HOURS LAST NIGHT.
SYNOPTICALLY...THERE IS GREAT MODEL AGREEMENT CURRENTLY WITH ONLY
MINOR SPATIAL DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN THE PRIMARY GLOBAL MODELS THROUGH
THE END OF THE WEEK.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...

SURFACE LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF WILL MOVE NORTH OVER THE WESTERN
KENAI PENINSULA AND WEAKEN AS IT MOVES FURTHER INLAND THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. RESIDUAL LOW PRESSURE FORMS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN GULF
UNDER THE DECAYING UPPER LEVEL FEATURE AND THEN MOVES INLAND NEAR
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND BY MONDAY MORNING. THIS WILL KEEP MODERATE RAIN
OVER THE SOUND THROUGH THIS EVENING...THEN BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN
INTENSITY (THOUGH CONTINUE) AS THE CURRENT SYSTEM DISSIPATES AND THE
NEXT SYSTEM BEGINS TO APPROACH FROM THE WEST FOR TUESDAY.

AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM TRAVELS JUST SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
COOK INLET REGION...WE SHOULD SEE SHOWERS CONTINUING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING...GRADUALLY LETTING UP AS TRANSIENT UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING MOVES THROUGH SOMETIME AROUND MIDDAY MONDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM
MOVES INTO THE REGION FROM THE SOUTH BY MONDAY EVENING AND BRING A
RENEWED SHOT OF RAIN TO THE REGION THROUGH MIDWEEK. THIS SYSTEM WILL
FEATURE A STRONG FRONT MOVING NORTH TO THE GULF COAST...WITH STORM
FORCE WINDS LIKELY TUESDAY OVER THE BARRIER JET REGION OF THE NORTH
GULF COAST.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...

DEFORMATION ZONE WILL PRODUCE RAIN MAINLY ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES OF
THE ALEUTIAN AND ALASKA RANGES NORTH OF KING SALMON THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH CLEARING DEVELOPING ON THE BACK SIDE AS SURFACE
RIDGING MOVES THROUGH. ONSHORE FLOW NEAR THE COAST WILL KEEP CLOUDS
IN THE FORECAST FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH THIS EVENING. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING STRENGTHENS TONIGHT ESPECIALLY OVER INTERIOR SECTIONS AS THE
UPSTREAM STORM GAINS STRENGTH TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. RAIN DEVELOPS OVER
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND MOVES NORTH MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS THE
UPPER LEVEL MOVES TO NEAR THE ALASKA PENINSULA.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...

RAIN AND SHOWERS WILL DOMINATE THE BERING WEATHER MAP OVER THE NEXT
FEW DAYS...WITH EMBEDDED GALES AROUND THE LOW PRESSURE CENTERS WHICH
DEVELOP EASTWARD WITH TIME AS THE JET STREAK ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE
LOW CONTINUES TO DIVE EAST TOWARDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL PUSH FROM THE ALASKA PENINSULA EARLY THIS WEEK
INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THE PARENT SYSTEM AND
ITS ASSOCIATED JET STREAK WILL BECOME A PROLIFERANT PRODUCER OF
WEATHER SYSTEMS AND KEEP THE WEATHER OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA WARMER AND
WETTER THAN NORMAL...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE COAST.
