NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
100 PM AKDT WED MAY 30 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...GFS AND NAM IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON GULF OF
ALASKA SYSTEM...THE SYSTEM LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF KODIAK ISLAND SLOWLY
DISSIPATES THROUGH FRI AND THEN FORMS A BROAD TROUGH OF LOWER
PRESSURE OVER THE GULF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IN THE WEST HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL BERING MOVES INTO THE EASTERN BERING ON FRI ALLOWING
A FRONT TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS THU MORNING AND INTO THE
CENTRAL BERING EARLY FRI MORNING. A THERMAL TROUGH FORMS OVER THE
INTERIOR THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...CURRENT GULF SYSTEM IS PRODUCING
WIDESPREAD RAIN ALONG THE NORTH GULF COAST AND WITH SHOWERS OVER
BRISTOL BAY.  THE FRONT SHOULD WEAKEN BY THU MORNING. SOME MODERATE
EAST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON BUT SHOULD BE
DIMINISHING BY MIDNIGHT. RIDGE/TROUGH PATTERN IN THE EASTERN BERING
IS PRODUCING MODEST NORTHERLY FLOW FROM THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TO
CENTRAL AK PEN.  AREA OF INSTABILITY AND POTENTIAL T-STORMS IN THE
FAR WEST THIS AFTERNOON GENERALLY OUTSIDE ANC AOR.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...RAIN ALONG THE COAST TURNING TO SHOWERS TOWARD
MORNING. EAST WINDS DIMINISHING BY MIDNIGHT. GENERALLY CLOUDY WITH
ISOLATED SHOWERS INLAND.

SOUTHWEST...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS CONTINUING THROUGH THU BECOMING
ISOLATED ON FRI. EAST TO NORTH WINDS IN BRISTOL BAY DIMINISHING AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

BERING REGION...GENERALLY CLOUDY WITH SHOWERS. SOME CLEARING AT TIMES
IN THE EASTERN BERING THIS AFTERNOON.  NORTH FLOW CONTINUING THU
NIGHT. RAIN MOVES INTO WESTERN ALEUTIANS LATE THU MORNING AND INTO
WESTERN ALEUTIANS EARLY FRI MORNING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...BROAD AREA OF LOWER PRESSURE OVER GULF WITH
RIDGE OVER EASTERN BERING ON SAT AND SUN WITH RAIN IN THE CENTRAL AND
WESTERN BERING. HIGHER PRESSURE BUILDS OVER GULF ON MON AND TUE WITH
THERMAL TROUGH OVER EASTERN INTERIOR OF THE STATE.  FOR MOST OF
