SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT TUE MAY 15 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS INITIALIZED WELL AND FORECAST TRENDS
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM ARE SIMILAR ON THE MAIN FEATURES.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
.500 MB...A BLOCKING PATTERN SETS UP OVER ALASKA WED. THE COLD UPPER
LOW MOVED ACROSS THE GULF TO OVER SE ALASKA AND WILL SLOWLY DRIFT
INTO BRITISH COLUMBIA WED. A BUILDING RIDGE MOVES OVER THE MAINLAND
WED AND HOLDS THROUGH LATE THIS WEEK. A LOW MOVING ACROSS THE NORTH
PACIFIC INTENSIFIES AS IT MOVES TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THU MORNING.

.SURFACE...A WEAK TROUGH BUILDS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND HOLDS
THROUGH FRI. HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE MAINLAND AND GULF OF
ALASKA THROUGH THURSDAY. EXPECT WARMING TEMPERATURES TO SPREAD ACROSS
THE MAINLAND WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE.

A LOW OVER THE EAST CENTRAL BERING SEA MOVES TO NEAR THE GULF OF
ANADYR AND WEAKENS ON WED. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WEAKENS AS IT MOVES
TOWARD THE SW COAST TONIGHT THEN LIFTS NORTH WED. A LOW CENTER SOUTH
OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WEAKENS AND BREAKS UP INTO A COUPLE OF
CENTERS NEAR THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHERN BERING SEA ON THU.
THE FRONT ELONGATES SE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC THU.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

.SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
A WEATHER DISTRUBANCE WHICH BROUGHT SNOW TO THE EASTERN COPPER RIVER
BASIN OVERNIGHT HAS MOVED INTO WESTERN CANADA. THE BUILDING RIDGE
WILL BRING WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVER
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED...THOUGH
THERE MAY SOME LOCALLY BRISK SEA BREEZES. INCREASING PRESSURE
GRADIENTS ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL
PRODUCE BRISK AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE COPPER RIVER AND OUT OF THE
KNIK VALLEY. GUSTY WINDS COMBINED WITH DRY CONDITIONS WILL INCREASE
FIRE DANGER.

.SW ALASKA
WARMING TEMPS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A WEAK
WEATHER FRONT APPROACHING THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON WILL BRING CLOUDS
AND INCREASING CHANCES OF RAIN TONIGHT AND WED...MAINLY ALONG THE
