SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1040 PM AKST FRI FEB 10 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...A HIGH AMPLITUDE WAVE PATTERN IS IN
PLACE WITH A RIDGE CENTERED OVER WESTERN CANADA AND A LONG-WAVE
TROUGH EXTENDING FROM EASTERN ASIA TO THE WESTERN ALASKA MAINLAND.
A STRONG NEAR ZONAL UPPER JET (MAX SPEED ESTIMATED AROUND 190 KT)
EXTENDS ACROSS THE NORTH PACIFIC AND CURVES NORTHWARD AND WEAKENS
AS IT REACHES 160W. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A VERY STRONG SYSTEM
AT THE HEAD OF THIS JET (NEAR 49N 162W). IT IS CURVING NORTHWARD
AS IT APPROACHES THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THIS WILL ESTABLISH A NEW
STORM TRACK FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT WEEK WITH STORMS TRACKING
NORTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN ALASKA OR THE EASTERN BERING SEA.

THERE ARE A COUPLE SYSTEMS OUT AHEAD OF THIS LOW THIS MORNING.
ONE LOW IS RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS IT MOVES FROM THE NORTHERN GULF
AND INLAND ACROSS THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND REGION. THE BULK OF
PRECIP IS ALONG THE COAST AT THE MOMENT BUT EXPECT A QUICK SHOT
EVERYWHERE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING AS THE REMNANTS ALL LIFT
NORTHWARD ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL. ANOTHER LOW OVER THE NORTHEAST
PACIFIC IS WEAKENING AS IT NEARS THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS IS A
FAIRLY WEAK LOW WITH A CENTRAL PRESSURE IN THE LOW 990S...BUT
THERE IS A STRONG SURFACE HIGH OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA WHICH IS
HELPING TO RESULT IN A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT EAST OF THE
LOW CENTER. AS THE LOW MOVES INTO THE GULF THIS AFTERNOON GALE
FORCE WINDS WILL SPREAD NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN
GULF.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GENERALLY THE MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE SYNOPTIC
PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND. DIFFERENCES BEGIN TO ARISE ON SUNDAY
WITH A SHORT-WAVE ROUNDING BASE OF THE LONG-WAVE TROUGH. CONSENSUS
HAS THE SYSTEM IN THE VICINITY OF THE AKPEN BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...MOVING UP INTO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND BY MONDAY. MODELS
ARE ALSO IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH AN ACTIVE EAST ASIA JET EARLY NEXT
WEEK SPAWNING ANOTHER STRONG NORTH PACIFIC LOW. THAT SYSTEM WILL
POTENTIALLY AMPLIFY THE PATTERN FURTHER AS IT WORKS UP TOWARD THE
CENTRAL ALEUTIANS. GFS IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE THE FOR THE CURRENT
FORECAST PACKAGE

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...VERY LIGHT SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL AS A
WEAKENING SYSTEM MOVES INLAND. LITTLE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED WITH
THIS SNOWFALL. THE NEXT SYSTEM...A WEAK TROUGH/FRONTAL FEATURE WILL
MOVE TOWARD EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE ALONG COASTAL AREAS BRINGING A MIX OF
SNOW AND RAIN. SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ALONG COASTAL AREAS
TO 30-50 MPH. THE CURRENT STORM TRACK WILL FAVOR LOW PRESSURE MOVING
UP THE AKPEN WITH WAVES OF FRONTAL PRECIPITATION...MAINLY FOR COASTAL
AREAS IN SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW FOR THE COMING DAYS.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...A STRONG LOW PRESSURE WORKING ACROSS THE AKPEN
WILL INCREASE WINDS TONIGHT AND BRING SNOW SHOWERS...MAINLY FOR THE
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE ALASKA RANGE AND THE KILBUCKS. MORE
WIDESPREAD SNOW IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES INLAND. A
SHORT BREAK IN THE ACTION IS IN STORE FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT
ANOTHER LOW WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA ON MONDAY.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...A LARGE BROAD TROUGH OVER THE CHAIN BRINGS
SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS. A STRONGER LOW MOVING OVER THE
EASTERN CHAIN WILL BRING A MIXTURE OF SNOW AND RAIN INTO SATURDAY.
THE CURRENT STORM TRACK WILL BRING A SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS
FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS/AKPEN.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
A BROAD TROUGH OVER THE BERING SEA WILL BE REINFORCED BY A SERIES OF
NORTH PACIFIC LOWS. THE STRONGEST OF WHICH WILL INCREASE RIDGING OVER
MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA KEEPING THE WARM DRY WEATHER IN PLACE FOR THE
BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. AN ATTACHED FRONT WILL SWING OVER
THE SOUTH CENTRAL NEXT WEEK BRINGING A QUICK SHOT OF PRECIPITATION
FOR MOST AREAS.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...STORM WARNING...120 130 150 155.
         GALE WARNING...125 132 138 140 160 165 170 172 176.
