SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1245 PM AKST SUN NOV 25 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE LARGE-SCALE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES TO FEATURE A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE BERING SEA AND PORTIONS OF INTERIOR ALASKA...WITH A
BROAD UPPER LOW AND LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA. A WEAK
LOW SOUTH OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA IS SENDING A CORRESPONDINGLY WEAK
FRONT INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF THIS MORNING. SNOW HAS SPREAD ACROSS
KODIAK ISLAND BUT THE FRONT WILL HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME MAKING MUCH
MORE NORTHWARD PROGRESS AS A SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL
DROPS SOUTHWARD INTO THE GULF AND STALLS THE FRONTAL PROGRESSION THIS
AFTERNOON. OVER SOUTHCENTRAL...THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS DEPARTING
TO THE SOUTH...RETURNING MOST AREAS TO SUNNY AND COLD CONDITIONS. OUT
WEST...A 1002 MB LOW NORTH OF ADAK IS LOCATED IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION
OF A 155 KT SOUTHWESTERLY JET. A WEAK ATTENDANT FRONT IS MAKING SLOW
PROGRESS EASTWARD TOWARD THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND PRIBILOF ISLANDS
WITH A SHORT PERIOD OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN
30 KTS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD SYNOPTIC AGREEMENT THROUGH 84 HOURS. THERE IS SOME
MODEL DISAGREEMENT ON THE EXACT POSITIONS OF MULTIPLE WEAK SURFACE
LOWS IN THE GULF OVER THE NEXT 36-48 HOURS. THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED
GIVEN THE RELATIVELY WEAK FEATURES UNDERNEATH THE BROAD UPPER LOW. IN
FACT...NONE OF THE MODELS EVEN INITIALIZED ALL THAT WELL BASED ON
MORNING SATELLITE IMAGERY. THUS DO NOT HAVE A STRONG PREFERENCE FOR
ANY SPECIFIC MODEL ON THE EAST DOMAIN...BUT WILL RATHER TREND TOWARD
A CONSENSUS/AVERAGE SOLUTION. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT SIGNIFICANT WIND
AND PRECIPITATION SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE MAINLAND...SO MODEL
DIFFERENCES WILL PRIMARILY MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE WEATHER OVER
KODIAK ISLAND. A GFS/EC BLEND REPRESENTED A GOOD COMPROMISE OF
BRINGING GALE FORCE WINDS A BIT FURTHER NORTH INTO THE GULF BEYOND 60
HOURS...AND WILL BE THE MAIN DRIVER IN FORECAST DEVELOPMENT TODAY.

OUT WEST...A SOMEWHAT SIMILAR SCENARIO IN TERMS OF MODEL DIFFERENCES
AS THE WEAK LOW ASSOCIATED WITH BERING FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO BE
SUSTAINED BY ITS FAVORABLE POSITION IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE
JET. THIS WILL CHANGE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS A MORE SUBSTANTIAL UPPER
TROUGH DROPS OFF THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND STRENGTHENS INTO A
CLOSED UPPER LOW. THIS WILL USHER IN A SHOT OF COLD AIR TO THE BERING
SEA AND STRENGTHEN THE SURFACE LOW TO AROUND 995 MB. THE MAJOR MODELS
ALL AGREE ON THIS BASIC EVOLUTION...THOUGH SEEM TO BE HINTING THAT
ENERGY WILL NOT STAY CONSOLIDATED INTO ONE LOW CENTER FOR LONG.
INSTEAD...MUCH LIKE THE GULF...MULTIPLE LOW CENTERS WILL LIKELY BE
PRESENT AS THE OVERALL CIRCULATION HEADS SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE
MAIN UPPER LOW SITTING IN THE LONGWAVE OVER THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC.
THE NAM REPRESENTED A MIDDLE-GROUND SOLUTION BETWEEN A FURTHER
EASTWARD EC SOLUTION AND A FURTHER WESTWARD GFS SOLUTION WHEN THE LOW
IS IN THE VICINITY OF THE PRIBILOFS...THUS THE FORECAST WILL BE
TRENDED TOWARD THE 12Z NAM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...LOW TO MID LEVEL CLOUDS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME
CLEARING OUT OF THE REGION BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH.
STILL EXPECT SKIES TO CLEAR FROM CORDOVA TO COOK INLET THIS AFTERNOON
AS DRY NORTHERLY FLOW ONCE AGAIN ENSUES. EXPECT LOCAL GAP WINDS TO
INCREASE A BIT THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT AS THE WEAK LOW AND FRONT
IN THE GULF SQUEEZE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ALONG THE COAST A BIT. THIS
WILL BRING SOME GUSTY WINDS DOWN INTO WHITTIER VALDEZ AND SEWARD.
HOWEVER...BY MONDAY AFTERNOON THIS GRADIENT SHOULD RELAX
SUBSTANTIALLY AS THE UPPER LOW IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC ONCE AGAIN
PULLS THE SURFACE LOW WELL TO OUR SOUTH. OVER KODIAK ISLAND...SNOW
WILL LIKELY MIX WITH RAIN THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE TAPERING TO SHOWERS
BY LATE THIS EVENING.

SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...OFFSHORE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT...THOUGH MUCH WEAKER THAN OVER THE PREVIOUS WEAK. SOME LOW
STRATUS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH OVER SOUTHCENTRAL HAS
CAUSED SOME LOW STRATUS/FOG TO BE JAMMED UP ALONG THE WESTERN SLOPES
OF THE ALEUTIAN RANGE SOUTH OF ILIAMNA. THIS SHOULD VERY SLOWLY ERODE
AWAY THROUGH THIS EVENING AS DRYING NORTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES. AFTER A
PROLONGED DRY SPELL...PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED BERING LOW WILL APPROACH THE COAST MONDAY EVENING INTO
TUESDAY MORNING...BUT AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE THE SNOW WILL NOT
QUITE MAKE IT EVEN TO COASTAL LOCATIONS BEFORE RETREATING TO THE
SOUTHWEST. LIKELY THE MORE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FROM THE NEAR-MISS LOW
WILL BE TEMPERATURES WARMING UP INTO THE UPPER TEENS TO 20S BY
TUESDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN QUITE A WHILE.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...GALE-FORCE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL SPREAD
INTO THE PRIBILOFS AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS TONIGHT. PRECIPITATION WILL
LIKELY START AS A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL RAIN AS
SOUTHERLY FLOW USHERS IN WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN HAVE BEEN SEEN FOR
A WHILE IN THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN BERING. AS THE UPPER LOW HELPS
INTENSIFY THE SURFACE LOW NORTHEAST OF THE PRIBILOFS ON MONDAY
EVENING IT LOOKS INCREASINGLY LIKE A BROAD AREA OF GALE FORCE WINDS
WILL DEVELOP ON THE BACK/WEST SIDE OF THE LOW. THIS IS DUE PRIMARILY
TO THE REINFORCEMENT OF COLD AIR INTO THE SYSTEM AND RESULTANT
INSTABILITY OF THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. BY TUESDAY EVENING...HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES FIRMLY BACK INTO CONTROL OF THE BERING SEA REGION AS
WINDS AND PRECIPITATION DIMINISH.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
OVERALL...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN SIGHT TO THE BIG-PICTURE WEATHER
PATTERN AFFECTING MOST OF THE STATE. ACTIVE WEATHER WILL REMAIN
GENERALLY CONFINED THE SOUTH OF THE MAINLAND...WITH PREVAILING CLEAR
AND COLD CONDITIONS CONTINUING AND LOCAL GAP WINDS ALONG THE
SOUTHCENTRAL COAST. IF ANYTHING...THE MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THE
BERING SEA RIDGE MAY BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED...WHICH WOULD ALLOW EVEN
COLDER AIR TO PLUNGE DOWN ACROSS MAINLAND ALASKA THROUGH THE FIRST
WEEK OF DECEMBER.
