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

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

MASSIVE UPPER LEVEL LOWS ARE OVER THE GULF OF AK AND WELL SOUTH OF
THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS THIS MORNING. A SMALLER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL
BERING IS UNDERCUTTING A RIDGE THAT EXTENDS WELL NORTH OF AK. AT THE
SURFACE...A DEEP LOW IS WELL SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND AN
ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT IS PUSHING NORTH ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS INTO
THE BERING. A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS BEGINNING TO CONSOLIDATE
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS AGREE THAT A PATTERN CHANGE IS IN PROGRESS. THE LOW OVER THE
GULF WILL GIVE WAY TO A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE LATER ON WED. A TRIPLE
POINT LOW WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR ON THE FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LOW WELL SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS. THIS WILL ENHANCE
OVERRUNNING PRECIPITATION OVER SW AK WED NIGHT INTO THU THAT
SUBSEQUENTLY MOVES INTO SOUTHCENTRAL THU INTO FRI. THE FORECAST
PROBLEM CENTERS AROUND TIMING OF THIS PRECIPITATION AND HOW MUCH
DOWNSLOPING WILL OCCUR ON THE LEE SIDE OF THE KENAI AND CHUGACH
MOUNTAINS. THE FORECAST UTILIZES A GFS AND NAM SOLUTION
INITIALLY...AND THEN MIGRATES TO THE EC AND HPC SOLUTION IN THE
EXTENDED RANGE.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...RAIN AND GALE FORCE WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT AS
IT DRIFTS NORTH INTO THU AND THEN THE TRIPLE POINT AS IT BRIEFLY
MOVES INTO THE EASTERN BERING THU NIGHT INTO FRI.

FOR SW AK...GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE REPLACED BY OVERRUNNING
RAIN WED NIGHT...BEGINNING AFTER MIDNIGHT...THAT PERSISTS BEYOND FRI.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK RANGE...AS THE GULF LOW MOVES SLOWLY SE...A
FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER OVER COASTAL SECTIONS TONIGHT...AND THEN DRY
CONDITIONS WILL LAST UNTIL OVERRRUNNING RAIN AND SNOW ARRIVE THU INTO
FRI.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE WEST AND SW AK WILL BE DRY ON SAT AND THEN RAIN IS EXPECTED AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS SUN INTO MON. SE OF THE AK RANGE WILL BE
GENERALLY DRY DURING THE SAME PERIOD.
