SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
100 PM AKDT SUN AUG 12 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...GFS AND NAM IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON SURFACE
FEATURES. A LOW IN THE CENTRAL GULF DISSIPATES TONIGHT. A SECONDARY
LOW FORMS IN THE CENTRAL GULF MON MORNING.  THE MAIN FEATURE HOWEVER
IS A NORTH PACIFIC LOW POSITIONED SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR. THE MODELS
KEEP THIS FEATURE Q-STATIONARY THROUGH TUE AND THEN MOVE IT INTO THE
SOUTHWESTERN GULF WED MORNING.  GFS RUNS 3 TO 5 MB DEEPER BUT GOOD
CONSENSUS ON POSITION. WEST FORECAST HEAVILY REFLECTS GFS.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...MODERATE INSTABILITY THIS AFTERNOON OVER
THE WESTERN AK RANGE EXTENDING WESTWARD TOWARD THE SOUTHERN KUSKO
MTNS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED T-STRMS POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER SOUTHWESTERN
AK. LIGHT WINDS OVER MAINLAND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY PART OF
WEEK.  DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE OVER MAINLAND MORNING FOG AND STRATUS CAN
BE EXPECTED AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
BERING REGION...CLOUDY WITH EXCEPTION OF EASTERN BERING.  EXPECTING
RAIN TO CONTINUE ALONG AK PEN AND EASTERN AL TONIGHT AND MON TURNING
TO SHOWERS MON NIGHT AND TUE. MODERATE E WINDS OVER AK PEN MON AND
TUE.

SOUTHWEST...GENERALLY CLEAR WITH POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON/EVENING
CONVECTION AND T-STRMS.  SOME LOW LYING AREAS MIGHT SEE EARLY MORNING
FOG.

SOUTHCENTRAL...UNDER INFLUENCE OF HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS CAN EXPECT VARIABLE CLOUDS WITH PERIODS OF SUN. POSSIBILITY FOR
EARLY MORNING FOG IN LOW LYING AREAS. MODEST CONVECTION OVER NORTHERN
MTNS BUT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE OF T-STRMS. MODEST CHANNELED WINDS ALONG
NORTH GULF COAST TONIGHT AND TUE NIGHT.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...MODELS CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH PACIFIC LOW INTO
THE CENTRAL GULF THU AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE PERSISTS OVER MAINLAND
WITH THERMAL TROUGH OVER THE INTERIOR.  IN THE WEST TWO SIBERIAN LOWS
MOVER OVER THE NORTHWESTERN BERING ON WED MORNING AND AGAIN ON THU
