Area forecast discussion, Oct 9, 1:15 PM AKDT, 14 hours 45 minutes before
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. .AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY PUBLIC...NONE.
