SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 PM AKDT SAT SEP 1 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH PERSISTS FROM EASTERN RUSSIA TO THE CANADIAN
ROCKIES THIS AFTERNOON WITH EMBEDDED LOWS NEAR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS
AND OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. A DECAYING CUT-OFF LOW REMAINS OVER THE
SEWARD PENINSULA. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAKENING REMNANT LOW IS OVER
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WHICH EXTENDS INTO INTERIOR AK. AN ASSOCIATED
FRONT IS ALSO DECAYING ALONG THE NORTHEAST GULF COAST. IN THE
WEST...A WEAK RIDGE IS OVER THE AKPEN AND A DEEPER LOW IS NORTH OF
ADAK.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE COMING INTO INCREASING AGREEMENT THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. A WEAK RIDGE WILL REDUCE PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS TONIGHT EAST
OF THE AKPEN AS THE LOW OVER PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND WEAKENS AND
RETREATS INLAND. AS THE RIDGE MOVES TO SOUTH CENTRAL ON SUN...THE
BERING LOW WILL MOVE TO WESTERN AK AND THEN INLAND ON MON. THIS
TRANSIT OF THE BERING FOLLOWS A TRAJECTORY THAT WILL BRING STRONG
CHANNELED WINDS ACROSS THE KENAI PENINSULA AND THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM
BEGINNING BY SUN EVENING AND LASTING INTO MON AFTERNOON. HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN REBUILD OVER SOUTHCENTRAL TUE. ANOTHER DEEP
KAMCHATKA LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE BERING MON AND TUE.

THE FORECAST UTILIZES THE NAM IN THE SHORT TERM BECAUSE OF RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY...WITH THE ADDITION OF SOME GFS AND EC INFLUENCE AT THE
END THE SHORT TERM.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...RAIN AND SHOWERS ALONG WITH SMALL CRAFT AND GALE FORCE
WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST LOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE BERING
THROUGH MON. FOLLOWING A NARROW AREA OF DRYING BENEATH A RIDGE...THE
SECOND LOW WILL ENTER THE WESTERN BERING SUN NIGHT AND SPREAD AREAS
OF RAIN WITH GALES AND STORMS TO THE EASTERN BERING INTO WED.

FOR SW AK...EXPECT CONTINUOUS SHOWER ACTIVITY THROUGH WED AS THE
SERIES OF LOWS MOVES THROUGH THE BERING. SOME BREAKS ARE POSSIBLE
TONIGHT AND MON NIGHT AS BRIEF RIDGING OCCURS.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK AND ALEUTIAN RANGES... SOME BRIEF DRYING
TONIGHT WILL BE FOLLOWED BY RAIN SUN AND MON WITH STRONG CHANNELED
FLOW LATER ON SUN AFTERNOON AND EVENING THROUGH MON AFTERNOON. THE
SECOND LOW MOVES ACROSS THE BERING AND WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
RAIN AND STRONG CHANNELED WIND TO THE REGION TUE INTO WED.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

SHOWERS AND GALES WILL DIMINISH OVER THE BERING AND SW AK THROUGH THU
WITH DRYING THU AND FRI SE OF THE AK RANGE.
