SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST SUN JAN 22 2012

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM. THERE ARE
SOME DIFFERENCES IN HOW THEY HANDLE INDIVIDUAL IMPULSES IN THE GULF
OF ALASKA LOW AS THIS WILL BECOME A COMPLEX SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE
SURFACE LOWS. GENERALLY TRENDED INHERITED FORECASTS TOWARD THE
ECMWF.

FOR THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST...THE MODELS REMAIN IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT. WENT WITH A BLEND OF GFS AND ECMWF
EARLY...THEN INCREASING AMOUNTS OF HPC GUIDANCE TOWARD THE END OF
THE FORECAST.

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN CURRENTLY OVER ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA. A
STRONG BLOCKING HIGH IS OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA AND EXTREME
NORTHEAST SIBERIA. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CENTERED JUST WEST OF
KODIAK ISLAND. STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW EXISTS BETWEEN THESE FEATURES
AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. BROAD SOUTHERLY CYCLONIC FLOW EXIST
TO THE EAST OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE GULF AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
THE UPPER LOW WILL DRIFT SOUTH AND EAST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS INTO
THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. THE BLOCKING HIGH WILL SLOWLY
RETROGRADE THROUGH MONDAY...THEN SPEED UP ITS WESTWARD MOVEMENT ON
TUESDAY AS AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT-WAVE IMPULSE MOVES OVER THE TOP OF
THE RIDGE AND DROPS INTO THE BERING SEA ON TUESDAY.

SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...AN IMPULSE OF MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
KODIAK LOW WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TODAY. THINGS LOOK TO DRY OUT
FOR INLAND AREAS MONDAY WITH SNOW SHOWERS LIMITED TO COASTAL AREAS.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE EASTERN BERING SEA...A SURGE OF COLD AIR IS
MOVING IN ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS BRINGING VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES TO SOUTHWEST ALASKA. OVER THE BERING SEA THE COLD AIR
AND CYCLONIC FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL BE OVER MAINLAND ALASKA WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...THEN BEGIN TO RETROGRADE BY THE WEEKEND INTO THE EASTERN
BERING SEA.

SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...CYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE OVER THE AREA FOR THE
LATTER PART OF THE WEEK...BUT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE AND MOST
PRECIPITATION ALONG THE COAST. BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO NEXT
WEEKEND MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL OPEN UP ALLOWING MORE MOISTURE INTO
THE AREA.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE EASTERN BERING SEA...COLD NORTHERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK. SOME MODERATION IS POSSIBLE NEXT
WEEKEND AS THE LOW RETROGRADES.
