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

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE MAINLAND
PART OF THE STATE IS WEAK TODAY AS THE PATTERN IS SHIFTING. THERE IS
A CUT OFF UPPER LEVEL LOW SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA AND A HIGH
AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENTERING THE WESTERN BERING SEA. A HIGH
AMPLITUDE RIDGE IS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND ALASKA
PENINSULA BETWEEN THESE TROUGHS. THERE IS ALSO A PRONOUNCED JET
STREAM RUNNING OVER THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE INTO THE BERING SEA
THAT TURNS SHARPLY OVER BRISTOL BAY AS IT HEADS AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE
OF THE LOW THAT IS SOUTH OF THE GULF. SO EVEN THOUGH THE MAINLAND
PORTION OF THE STATE HAS LIGHT FLOW THERE ARE MUCH STRONGER UPPER
LEVEL WINDS IN THE BERING SEA WHICH WILL BE MOVING OVER THE MAINLAND
PART OF THE STATE AS THE PATTEN PROGRESSES.
AT THE SURFACE THE IS A COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF WHICH IS EXTENDING A
TROUGH INTO THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE. THIS IS BRINGING
GENERALLY EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...WHICH
TURN MORE NORTHWEST OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA.
THE STRONG SURFACE RIDGE IS STILL OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS BUT WILL
BE MOVING EASTWARD AS A LARGE LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU MOVES TO NEAR
KISKA TOMORROW.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING QUITE WELL AND EVEN THE GFS HAS
COME IN LINE WITH THE OTHER ONES IN REGARDS TO THE LARGE LOW THAT
WILL BE MOVING INTO THE BERING SEA. STILL PREFERRED THE ECMWF OVERALL
AND THE NAM WAS ALSO USED TO FILL IN DETAIL.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...THE MAJORITY OF THE MAINLAND WILL SEE PARTLY
CLOUDY SKIES WITH A FEW AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS OVER MOUNTAINS.
THE BIG EXCEPTION WILL BE THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA WHICH WILL REMAIN UNDER
LOW STRATUS WITH SOME SNOW FLURRIES AS NORTHWEST WINDS OFF THE ICE
PACK KEEP THAT AREA CONSIDERABLE COLDER.
THE ALASKA PENINSULA WILL CONTINUE TO SEE LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE BERING
SEA COAST WHILE THE PACIFIC SIDE WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR INTO SATURDAY.
THE LARGE LOW MOVING TOWARD THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL BRING WARMER
AIR TO THE REGION THROUGH TOMORROW...THEN WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM
THE NORTH AFTER THE LOW MOVES BY. SOME AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THIS SYSTEM.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE LARGE LOW IN THE ALEUTIANS THIS WEEKEND
WILL MOVE SOUTH OF THE GULF EARLY NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
BACK INTO WESTERN AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA BY MIDWEEK. THIS WILL BRING A
GOOD BIT OF CLEARING OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK NEXT WEEK.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 172 175 176.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
