SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT THU JUN 14 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...AN UNSEASONABLY COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW
THAT HAS BEEN IMPACTING MUCH OF THE SOUTH CENTRAL REGION IS DRIFTING
INTO THE GULF THIS MORNING AND WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. A
BROAD CUTOFF HIGH SITS OVER THE BERING AND IS SUPPORTING RATHER QUIET
CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. IN THE NORTH PACIFIC...AN UPPER
LEVEL LOW SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS IS DRIFTING
NORTHEASTWARD.

.AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK SURFACE LOW IN THE GULF WILL CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH THROUGH THIS EVENING AS ITS ASSOCIATED UPPER LEVEL LOW
WEAKENS. SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...WHICH WILL HELP TO SUPPORT THE REDEVELOPMENT OF
THE THERMAL TROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.  SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ENCOMPASSES
MUCH OF THE BERING AND IS SUPPORTING WIDESPREAD STRATUS AND FOG THIS
MORNING. A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW IN THE NORTH PACIFIC
IS CURRENTLY BRINGING GUSTY WINDS TO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN GREAT AGREEMENT OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE GULF WEAKENS GRADUALLY.
MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE MORE SIGNIFICANTLY BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS A
TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMS IN THE SOUTHERN GULF. THE NAM INDICATES A
STRONG LOW...WHILE THE GFS INDICATES A WEAK LOW...SO A MIDDLE GROUND
ECMWF SOLUTION WAS FAVORED.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL...CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DRY OUT ACROSS THE
SOUTHCENTRAL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DRIFTS
INTO THE GULF AND WEAKENS. AFTER THE RAIN OVER THE SOUTHCENTRAL MOVES
SOUTH THIS MORNING...A FEW DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE MOUNTAINS...BUT WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS NOT
EXPECTED. A COASTAL RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD ALONG THE COAST BY THIS
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MINIMAL GUSTY CONDITIONS THROUGH
LOCAL COASTAL GAPS. GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER BY FRIDAY AS
THE RIDGE STRENGTHENS AND THE INTERIOR TROUGH ENHANCES UNDER CLEARER
SKIES.

SOUTHWEST...

A STRATUS DECK CONTINUES TO LINGER ALONG THE BRISTOL BAY COAST AND
HAS SPILLED INLAND ACROSS MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND OVERNIGHT
LIKE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. HOWEVER...THE STRATUS HAS NOT PROPAGATED
INLAND AS FAR AS YESTERDAY. DIURNAL HEATING SHOULD HELP TO BRING SOME
BREAKS IN THE STRATUS BY THIS MORNING ACROSS THE DELTA AND
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE RAPIDLY. DIURNAL HEATING WILL HELP
TO ENHANCE THE THERMAL TROUGH ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TODAY.
HOWEVER...THE THERMAL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WEAK AND
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION IS NOT EXPECTED TO OCCUR.

THUNDERSTORMS ARE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR FRIDAY ACROSS THE INTERIOR
KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND KUSKOKWIM VALLEY REGIONS.  OFFSHORE FLOW SHOULD
KEEP MOST OF THE COASTAL STRATUS AT BAY THURSDAY NIGHT AND ALLOW FOR
MAXIMUM DIURNAL HEATING. FLOW ALOFT WILL ALSO BE STRONGER...AND ALLOW
FOR WARMING FROM DOWNSLOPE FLOW AND ENHANCE THE THERMAL TROUGH. IN
ADDITION...TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL REMAIN FAIRLY COOL ALOFT WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR STEEPER LAPSE RATES.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS MUCH OF THE BERING IS SUPPORTING A BROAD STRATUS
DECK. HOWEVER...A FRONT ALONG THE ALEUTIANS IS MIXING OUT SOME OF THE
STRATUS AND SUPPORTING GUSTY WINDS AND RAIN. GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS THE FRONT SLOWLY
DISSIPATES.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...MODELS INDICATE A DYNAMIC PATTERN OVER THE NEXT
WEEK. THE RIDGE OVER THE BERING WILL BUILD EASTWARD ACROSS THE ALASKA
MAINLAND STARTING THIS WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.  MODELS THEN
INDICATE A LOW PROGRESSING INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA BY MID-WEEK.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALES...155 170 172 175.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
