SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT TUE JUL 3 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MAIN FEATURE OF INTEREST CONTINUES TO BE THE LARGE UPPER LOW POISED
TO DROP INTO THE BERING SEA OUT OF EASTERN RUSSIA. ALTHOUGH THE GFS
HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT INCONSISTENT IN HANDLING THIS FEATURE FOR THE PAST
FEW DAYS...MODELS ARE GENERALLY IN GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE TRACK
OF THE LOW...BRINGING IT TO A POSITION SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND BY
FRIDAY MORNING.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LOW REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE YUKON...WITH EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVES ALONG ITS WESTERN EDGE CONTINUING TO BRING AREAS OF RAIN
OR SHOWERS TO THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND. A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS PROGRESSING NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE COOK
INLET...BRINGING A FEW SHOWERS TO ANCHORAGE AND THE MAT-SU THIS
MORNING. THIS FEATURE HAS ALSO SERVED TO WEAKEN THE RIDGE THAT HAD
BEEN IN PLACE OVER CENTRAL ALASKA...SHIFTING ITS AXIS FURTHER TO THE
EAST. A FRONT MOVING ASHORE OUT OF THE EASTERN BERING IS PRODUCING
RAIN ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WILL LEAD TO ISOLATED
SHOWERS THIS MORNING FROM ANCHORAGE INTO THE MAT-SU. PERSISTENT
