SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST WED NOV 7 2012
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS IN THE SHORT TERM ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR ALL MAJOR
FEATURES. PROBLEMS BEGIN TO ARISE AS WE MOVE INTO THE MID
TERM...PRIMARILY WITH THE LOW MOVING INTO THE EASTERN BERING THURSDAY
NIGHT. THE EC IS FASTER AND THE NAM IS THE SLOWEST WITH THE GFS AS
THE MIDDLE GROUND. ALL THREE ARE CLOSE IN INTENSITY. MEANWHILE THE
GEM IS NOT CLOSE AT ALL WITH THE LOW CENTER HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY.
IN THE LONG TERM THE MODELS ARE DOING OK OUT EAST BUT OUT WEST THINGS
START TO FALL APART. PLACEMENT AND INTENSITY OF MAJOR FEATURES IS
SOMEWHAT CLOSE RUN TO RUN BUT NOT NEARLY AS CLOSE BETWEEN THE
DIFFERENT MODELS.
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
RIDGING DOMINATES MUCH OF THE STATE RIGHT NOW KEEPING WEAK FLOW OVER
MAINLAND ALASKA. THIS RIDGE IS CONTINUING TO BUILD IN OVER THE STATE
AND WILL SLOWLY TRACK TO THE EAST. OUT WEST THE MAIN LOW AND
ASSOCIATED FRONT CONTINUE TO PUSH NORTH IMPACTING THE ALEUTIAN
ISLANDS. THIS LOW IS ALSO BRINGING UP WARM MOIST AIR FROM THE NORTH
PACIFIC THAT WILL PLAY A FACTOR FOR TEMPS AND PRECIP TYPE FOR AREAS
FROM THE ALEUTIANS TO THE GULF COAST.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE AREA VOID OF MOST CLOUD
COVER AND PRECIP UNTIL THE FRONT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE AREA. TONIGHT
THE FRONT WILL REACH KODIAK ISLAND AND BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON IT WILL
HAVE MADE IT TO THE KENAI PENINSULA. BY THURSDAY NIGHT THE FRONT WILL
THEN HAVE MADE IT THROUGH MOST AREAS AROUND THE SOUTHCENTRAL. THE
WARM AIR BEING BROUGHT IN BEHIND THE FRONT WILL TRANSITION THE SNOW
OVER TO RAIN BEGINNING WITH THE AREAS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE AREA KEEPING PRECIP
AWAY FROM THE REGION UNTIL THE FRONT COMES INTO THE SOUTHWEST
TONIGHT. IT WILL START OFF AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW BUT BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON WILL HAVE TRANSITIONED OVER TO RAIN. THE RAIN WILL THEN
LAST INTO SATURDAY UNTIL THE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST FROM ITS
PLACE IN THE EASTERN BERING.
BERING SEA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS...THE FRONT HAS ALREADY MADE ITS WAY
OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND WILL HAVE MOVED OVER THE EASTERN
ALEUTIANS BY LATE THIS MORNING. A TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL FORM SOUTH OF
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS EARLY THURSDAY AND THAT LOW WILL THEN MOVE
NORTH INTO THE EASTERN BERING. MORE RAIN WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE AREA
AS THIS LOW MOVES THROUGH. RIDGING WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND
START TO PUSH THIS LOW OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST GIVING THE AREA A BREAK
FROM THE RAIN.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE ACTIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK KEEPING
LOWS PROGRESSING THROUGH THE AREA. NOT UNTIL THE END OF NEXT WEEK DO
THE MODELS HINT AT A RIDGE BUILDING IN OVER THE BERING FINALLY
SLOWING THE PATTERN DOWN.
