SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT TUE MAR 20 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH REMAINS
NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED OVER THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE
WITH A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA. FARTHER WEST A
STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW IS DWELLING NEAR KAMCHATKA.
THIS PATTERN HAS THE JET STREAM BRUSHING UP TOWARD THE ALEUTIAN
ISLANDS BUT THEN DIVING FAR SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA AS IT MOVES
EASTWARD.
THE TROUGH AND RIDGE WILL NOT MOVE MUCH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT
THE JET STREAM WILL STRENGTHEN DURING THIS PERIOD AS IT RIDES OVER
THE TOP OF THE RIDGE INTO THE BERING SEA AND THEN TURNS SHARPLY
SOUTHEAST AND HEADS OUT OVER KODIAK ISLAND AND THE WESTERN GULF.
AT THE SURFACE...A MODERATE LOW IS MOVING ON SHORE JUST SOUTH OF THE
PANHANDLE WITH A RESIDUAL TROUGH EXTENDING ALONG THE GULF COAST FROM
THE PANHANDLE TO THE KENAI PENINSULA. THE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA IS KEEPING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHT BETWEEN
THESE TWO FEATURES AND CAUSING STRONG WINDS THROUGH THE TERRAIN FROM
THE ALASKA PENINSULA TO KAMISHAK BAY.
A STRONG FRONT OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS IS RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS IT
MOVES EASTWARD AND WILL DISSIPATE AS IT RUNS INTO THE RIDGE IN THE
BERING SEA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL OVERALL. THE BIG
DISCREPANCIES THAT WERE PRESENT IN THE BERING SEA FROM YESTERDAYS
RUNS SEEM TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED...WITH THE NAM/GFS SOLUTIONS BEING
THE MOST CORRECT. AS FOR THE CURRENT RUNS THE COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF
REMAINS A LITTLE BIT UNRESOLVED BIT IT LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL NOT BE
ANY BIG CURVES THROWN AS ANY SMALL LOWS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD HEAD
SOUTHEAST IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW. IN THE BERING SEA THE GFS AND NAM
ARE BOTH PERFORMING WELL AND THE FORECAST IS BEING NUDGED TOWARD THE
NAM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTH CENTRAL...THE REMNANTS OF A WEAK LOW OVER THE KENAI PENINSULA
IS PULLING SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND THE SNOW OVER THE WESTERN
PENINSULA WILL END AS IT MOVES SOUTHWARD. OTHER THAN THAT THERE IS
NOT MUCH HAPPENING OVER THE AREA.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...CLEAR AND COLD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE. THERE
WILL ALSO BE SOME BREEZY AREAS NEAR THE BERING SEA COAST. WIND CHILLS
WILL GET DOWN TO 30 OR 35 BELOW IN THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA BUT SHOULD NOT
WARRANT AN ADVISORY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

KODIAK ISLAND THROUGH ALASKA PENINSULA...THE GUSTY WINDS THROUGH
