SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST TUE NOV 6 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS START OFF CLOSE BUT RAPIDLY DETERIORATE AS THEY MOVE INTO
THE MID TERM. THEIR HANDLING OF THE LOW COMING UP FROM THE NORTH
PACIFIC ON THURSDAY STARTS TO VARY AS IT APPROACHES THE ALEUTIANS.
THE EC PROGRESSES IT MUCH FASTER THAN THE OTHER MODELS AND IS WEAKER
IN INTENSITY. THE GFS HAS A MIDDLE GROUND POSITION BUT IS DEEPER THAN
THE OTHER MODELS. THE GEM KEEPS THE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC INSTEAD
OF BRINGING IT IN TO THE BERING AT ALL. FINALLY THE NAM IS SLOWER
THAN ALL THE OTHER MODELS. AS WE MOVE INTO THE LONG RANGE THINGS ONLY
GET WORSE IN TERMS OF PLACEMENT AND INTENSITY DIFFERENCES. BECAUSE OF
THIS CONFIDENCE IN THE MODELS IS LOW...ESPECIALLY MOVING FURTHER OUT
IN THE FORECAST.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A COMPLEX AREA OF WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE SITS IN THE GULF AND IS
BEGINNING TO START TRACKING OFF TO THE EAST. RIDGING CURRENTLY OVER
THE CENTRAL BERING IS SLOWLY TRACKING TO THE EAST BEHIND THE LOW. THE
HIGH PRESSURE IS KEEPING MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA RELATIVELY DRY. WEST
OF THE RIDGE A FRONT FROM A LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC IS BEGINNING TO
REACH THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...THE LOW IN THE GULF IS CURRENTLY BRINGING SHOWERY
PRECIP TO THE GULF COAST AND SOME AREAS FURTHER INLAND. THESE SHOWERS
WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH AS THE LOW WEAKENS AND TRACKS OFF TO THE
EAST. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING THE REGION WILL BE MOSTLY VOID OF PRECIP
WITH THE RIDGING OUT WEST HAVING PUSHED IN OVER THE AREA. THIS WILL
LAST UNTIL THURSDAY WHEN THE NEXT FRONT MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE LOW IN THE GULF AND THE
RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL BERING IS BRINGING STRONGER WINDS OUT OF THE
NORTH. HOWEVER...THESE WINDS ARE RAPIDLY DIMINISHING AS THE LOW
WEAKENS AND THE RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD. BY THIS EVENING THE RIDGE WILL
HAVE MOVED OVER THE AREA AND THE WINDS WILL HAVE CALMED DOWN. THE
AREA WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CALM AND CLEAR UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES IN ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRINGING PRECIP WITH IT.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS...RIDING OVER THE CENTRAL BERING IS
MOVING OFF TO THE EAST AND THE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC IS MOVING IN
TO REPLACE IT. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT IS MOVING IN OVER THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND WILL HAVE MADE ITS WAY OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS AND INTO THE SOUTHERN BERING BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE
FRONT WILL BRING WITH IT MORE PRECIP AND WARMER CONDITIONS. THE LOW
ITSELF WILL MAKE IT TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THURSDAY AND THEN WILL
WEAKEN AND TRACK OFF TO THE EAST.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE PATTERN BECOMES MORE ACTIVE AS WE MOVE CLOSER TO THE WEEKEND
KEEPING LOWS PROGRESSING THROUGH THE AREA. THESE LOWS WILL KEEP THE
WEATHER PATTERN CHANGING FOR MANY LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT MAINLAND
ALASKA. LATER NEXT WEEK THE MODELS ARE SHOWING THE PATTERN SLOWING
DOWN ONCE AGAIN WITH A STRONGER RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE BERING.
