SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT FRI MAY 4 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE MAJOR FEATURE OVER ALASKA TODAY IS A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW
PRESSURE DIGGING SOUTHWARD OVER THE BERING SEA. SEVERAL SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS ARE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW. THE FIRST IN THE
NORTHEASTERN GULF WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW BRINGS SHOWERS TO
THE NORTH GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON. ANOTHER MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE IS
CURRENTLY DROPPING SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE CENTRAL/EASTERN ALEUTIANS
DRAGGING AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT OVER THE CHAIN. THE SURFACE PATTERN
AT THE PRESENT IS QUITE BENIGN WITH A COUPLE WEAK LOW PRESSURE
CENTERS IN THE GULF...ONE IN THE CENTRAL GULF AND ANOTHER WEAKER
CENTER NEAR KODIAK ISLAND. A SURFACE TROUGH/COLD FRONT LIES JUST
NORTH OF THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND WRAPS WESTWARD NEARLY THE LENGTH
OF THE CHAIN ITSELF.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
GENERALLY GUIDANCE IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER
LOW ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC. SOME SLIGHT
DIFFERENCES ARISE IN POSITION BUT THE MAIN DIFFERENCE COME WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AS THE STRONG SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DIGS BEHIND THE UPPER LOW. MOST OF THE MODEL SOLUTIONS LATCH
ONTO SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT AT THE END OF THE AKPEN BUT THE ECMWF IS
AN OUTLIER WELL TO THE WEST AND STRONGER THAN THE OTHER MODELS. IT
SHOULD BE NOTED THE THE GFS HAS TRENDED STRONGER AND MORE TO THE WEST
WITH EACH CONSECUTIVE RUN.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...SEASONABLE SURFACE HEATING COMBINED WITH COLD
AIR ALOFT AND A WEAK PASSING UPPER TROUGH HAS PRODUCED SCATTERED RAIN
SHOWERS OVER THE KENAI AS WELL AS THE CHUGACH MOUNTAINS. THE SAME
HOLDS TRUE FOR THE TALKEETNAS AND ALASKA RANGE. UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR
ALOFT AND LOW FREEZING LEVELS MAKE HAIL A POSSIBILITY WITH SOME OF
THE STRONGER SHOWERS. EXPECT MOST OF THESE TO FALL APART LATER THIS
EVENING BUT WITH THE UPPER TROUGH HANGING AROUND A FEW COULD LAST
INTO THE NIGHT...MOSTLY FOR HIGHER ELEVATIONS. COASTAL LOCATIONS WILL
SEE SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY MIXING WITH SNOW DURING
THE EVENING. THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY REMAINS WITH MUCH OF THE SAME.
WEAK INSTABILITY WITH ANOTHER UPPER IMPULSE COMING IN LATE AFTERNOON
SHOULD SPARK MORE SHOWERS OFF OF THE MOUNTAINS IN MOST LOCATIONS. THE
NEXT SHORTWAVE VISIBLE ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IN THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
WILL SHIFT INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY MORNING
SPAWNING A NEW SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT AND MORE RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS
MAINLY FOR COASTAL LOCATIONS.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...A COMPACT SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE BERING SEA
UPPER LEVEL LOW BRINGS A DECENT SHOT OF SNOW TO THE SOUTHWEST
INTERIOR. RAIN COULD MIX IN THIS AFTERNOON AS SURFACE TEMPERATURES
RISE ABOVE FREEZING. SNOW SHOULD CONTINUE FOR INTERIOR LOCATIONS
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE DECREASING IN COVERAGE. THE
BERING SEA UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD BUT MOST
LOCATIONS WILL STILL REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER TROUGH
KEEPING SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...AS THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS SOUTHWARD TODAY
COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SUPPORT NUMEROUS RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS FOR
MAINLY THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS. AS THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS
TONIGHT BETWEEN DUTCH HARBOR AND THE END OF THE ALASKAN PENINSULA THE
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RAPIDLY INCREASING BRINGING WIDESPREAD
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND PERIODS OF GALES IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA.
WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWERS REMAINS LIKELY SATURDAY WITH HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION CLOSER TO THE FRONT/SURFACE LOW IN THE VICINITY OF THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS/ALASKA PENINSULA.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST WILL BE SHAPED BY THE UPPER
LOW PRESSURE SWINGING FROM THE BERING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA WHERE
IT WILL LINGER THROUGH EARLY WEEK. NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE BERING
WILL CONTINUE AND SEND ANOTHER SYSTEM FROM THE BERING INTO THE GULF
KEEPING COOLER CONDITIONS IN PLACE FOR MOST OF THE MAINLAND AND AN
ACTIVE PRECIPITATION REGIME OVER THE ALEUTIANS.
