SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKDT MON AUG 20 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT
TERM. THE NAM WITH SOME ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE USED IN THE
EAST(SOUTHCENTRAL/GULF) AND THE GFS OUT WEST.

.UPPER LEVELS...
.500MB...THE LONG WAVE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTH ALONG 150-160W MOVES TO
ALONG THE ALCAN BOARDER TUE NIGHT AND WEAKENS. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
ACROSS SW ALASKA TONIGHT THE INTO SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA TUE. A LONG
WAVE TROUGH MOVES OUT OF EASTERN RUSSIA AND DIGS SOUTH TO OVER THE
EASTERN BERING SEA TUE NIGHT/WED AND SETS UP MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE MAINLAND. THE TROUGH THEN MOVES TO OVER THE CENTRAL
MAINLAND THU MORNING. A BROAD RIDGE MOVES OVER THE BERING SEA WED AND
THU.

.SURFACE...A WEAK SURFACE LOW SUPPORTED BY AN UPPER SHORT WAVE WAS
MOVING SLOWING NORTH TOWARD THE KENAI PENINSULA. THIS FEATURE
COMBINED WITH ITS ASSOCIATED FRONT WAS PRODUCING WIDESPREAD
RAIN/SHOWERS ACROSS THE NORTH GULF...KENAI PEN...AND COOK INLET/MATSU
REGIONS. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER SHORT WAVE
WERE EVIDENT ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF SW ALASKA. GENERALLY
CLOUDY CONDITIONS WITH RELATIVELY HIGH MVFR CONDITIONS WERE ALSO
EVIDENT OVER THE SW MAINLAND. AREAS OF LOW CLOUDS WERE OBSERVED
ACROSS THE BERING SEA.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...SHOWERS WILL TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST OVERNIGHT
AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS IN. THERE MAY BE SOME AREAS OF MORNING
STRATUS AND FOG ACROSS THE COOK INLET REGION TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY
MANY CLOUD BREAKS TUE AND TUE NIGHT. SHOWERS WILL LIKELY LINGER OVER
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN INTO TUE UNTIL UPPER TROUGH DISSIPATES TUE
NIGHT. THE UNSET OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT LATE WED WILL BRING
INCREASING CLOUDS AND CHANCES OF RAIN.

SOUTHWEST...
THE SHOWERS OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA WILL DIMINISH THIS
EVENING. BROAD AND WARM SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE BERING SEA
ASSOCIATED WITH A WARM FRONT WILL BRING RAIN AND LOW CLOUDS BACK INTO
SW ALASKA TUE. THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH WED AND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
THE OCCLUDED FRONT AND ANOTHER WAVE WHICH MOVES TO ALONG THE SW COAST
WED AFTERNOON. SO EXPECT GENERALLY CLOUDY AND RAINY CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH INTO LATE WED NIGHT.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...

WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE
CENTRAL BERING SEA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A STRONGER
DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OFF THE COAST OF EASTERN RUSSIA AND INTO THE
NORTH-CENTRAL BERING SEA BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...PUSHING A SERIES OF
WEATHER FRONTS ACROSS THE BERING SEA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH AND EAST INTO THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND
SOUTHERN BERING SEA ON TUESDAY AND WORK ITS WAY EAST TO THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND BRISTOL BAY BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE MAIN CENTER OF ACTION WILL REMAIN OVER AND JUST NORTH AND WEST OF
THE BERING STRAIT REGION...WITH FAST WESTERLY FLOW ACROSS THE
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BERING SEA AND EXTENDING INTO THE MAINLAND. THE
STRONGER OF THESE DISTURBANCES WILL SPLIT FROM THE MAIN LOW AS THEY
ENCOUNTER THE EFFECTS OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE ALASKA RANGE AND
THEN DROP WELL SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND BY THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR A STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE TO BUILD OVER THE GULF OF
ALASKA THIS WEEKEND. THIS PATTERN WOULD RESULT IN CLOUDY SKIES AND
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS OVER MOST OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
