SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
115 PM AKDT TUE OCT 9 2012

INTERESTING WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES. UPPER HIGH PRESSURE AND
ASSOCIATED INVERSION HAS LOW CLOUDS AND FOG MOST AREAS BELOW 3500 FT.
CONDITIONS GRADUALLY IMPROVING AND WILL CONTINUE THOUGH OUT TUE
AFTERNOON. AREAS OF FOG MAY INCREASE AGAIN THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY IN
THE AREAS THAT CLEAR OUT. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE THOSE ZONES WITH
CHANNELED WIND, SUCH AS WHITTIER, SEWARD AND THE GREATER VALDEZ AREA.

LEFT OVER MOISTER OF THE LONG LIVED FRONTAL ZONE PROVIDING SOME LIGHT
RAIN/SNOW MOSTLY UP ALONG THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALASKA RANGE.
THERE IS AN AREA OF OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN ACROSS ZONE 141 EAST OF THE
COPPER RIVER VALLEY. THIS FRONT, OR BOUNDARY, WILL SLOWLY SINK
SOUTHWARD LATE TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER TROF NOW OVER THE
NORTHWEST INTERIOR MOVES SOUTHEAST TO THE YUKON WHICH WILL DRAG A
TROF AXIS ACROSS AREAS EAST OF 150W OR SO. COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL ALSO
EDGE SOUTHWARD FROM THE CENTRAL INTERIOR. THIS WILL WEAKEN THE
INVERSION WED AND WED NGT. THAT ALONG WITH INCREASING NORTH AND
NORTHEAST WIND SHOULD ELIMINATE THE FOG AND LOW CLOUDS WITH MOST
AREAS BECOMING VFR AS EARLY AS WED AFTERNOON.

1-3 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF ZONE 141
AT NEBESNA AND SLANA TONIGHT. LITTLE IF ANY SNOW EXPECTED DOWN TOWARD
MCCARTHY SINCE THE LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL REMAIN IN THE FORM OF
RAIN, MOSTLY.

RATHER SUNNY AND BREEZY IS THE FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE AREA THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. EXCEPTIONS WILL BE KODIAK ISLAND (CLOUDS) AND THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS WHERE THERE'LL BE AN OCCASIONAL
CHANCE OF RAIN AND FOG.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY A WEAK UPPER TROF DROPS SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST
WHICH WILL INCREASE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA. THIS
SYSTEM IS MUCH TOO WEAK TO GENERATE ANY PRECIPITATION AND MAY HAVE
TROUBLE GENERATING ANY CLOUDS AS WELL. STORM MOVING INTO THE
NORTHEAST PACIFIC LATE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WILL REDEVELOP AN UPPER
RIDGE AXIS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST. THE ASSOCIATED SOUTHEAST WIND
FLOW WILL SPREAD RAIN TO KODIAK SAT AFTERNOON, THEN TO THE IMMEDIATE
NORTH GULF COAST SAT NIGHT AND SUN.

LONGER RANGE EARLY NEXT WEEK HAS UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTH FROM THE
ARCTIC INTO THE EASTERN BERING AND WESTERN INTERIOR. BIG QUESTION IS
WILL IT DO SO IN A RETROGRESSIVE, OR, A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN SUCH AS
THE GFS FORECASTS. LATEST RUN OF THE GFS BRINGS COLD AND SNOW TO ALL
AREAS OF SOUTHERN ALASKA TUE AND WED. PATTERN OF RECENT YEARS HAS
BEEN FOR THESE SOUTHWARD BOUND SYSTEMS TO PULL SOUTHWESTWARD AS THEY
APPROACH THE ALASKA RANGE. VERY FEW HAVE TRACKED INTO THE SUSITNA
VALLEY OR COPPER RIVER BASIN. THIS FORECASTER WILL EAGERLY WAIT AND
SEE IF THERE'LL BE ENOUGH UPSTREAM FORCING TO PREVENT AN AGEOSTROPHIC
RETROGRESSIVE SET UP.
