SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT MON OCT 1 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CONTINUES TO BUILD IN OVER THE GULF AND MAINLAND
ALASKA AS AN UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND DRIFTS SOUTHEASTWARD INTO BRITISH
COLUMBIA...YIELDING PARTLY SUNNY SKIES OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AK. A BROAD
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS IN PLACE OVER THE BERING...WITH ONE LOW
CENTERED NEAR ST MATTHEW ISLAND AND ANOTHER PROGRESSING EASTWARD JUST
SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS. A FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH
THE NORTHERN BERING LOW EXTENDS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
MAINLAND...BRINGING RAIN TO MUCH OF THE AREA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS REMAIN IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM...DEVELOPING
A TRIPLE POINT LOW SOUTH OF THE AKPEN TONIGHT AS THE LOW CURRENTLY
TRAVERSING THE ALEUTIANS BEGINS TO DISSIPATE...THEN BRINGING IT INTO
THE CENTRAL GULF BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE ALSO IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT IN BRINGING THE REMNANTS OF TYPHOON JELAWAT ALONG 50N
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND THEN NORTHWARD INTO THE BERING ON
WEDNESDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
A CHANCE OF RAIN WILL RETURN TO SOUTHCENTRAL AK TONIGHT AS THE
DECAYING FRONT OVER SOUTHWEST AK APPROACHES. MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN
WILL THEN MOVE IN ON TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST. RAIN WILL CONTINUE ON WEDNESDAY
ALONG THE GULF COAST AS THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS AND MOVES INTO THE
GULF. HOWEVER...INLAND AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL WILL SEE A BRIEF BREAK
IN PRECIPITATION AND PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ON WEDNESDAY AS TRANSITORY
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING MOVES THROUGH IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT SYSTEM IN
THE BERING.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY AS THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
SHORTWAVE MOVES OVERHEAD...FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIPITATION
ON TUESDAY NIGHT. RAIN WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY AS
THE TROPICAL REMNANTS MOVE INTO THE BERING SEA. RAIN WILL BE
ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY WINDS ALONG THE COAST ON WEDNESDAY.

ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...
RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW JUST SOUTH OF THE CHAIN
WILL PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS AND AKPEN
BEFORE THAT SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA AND BEGINS TO DISSIPATE.
ADDITIONAL RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS WILL THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE CHAIN
FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF
JELAWAT MOVE ALONG 50N AND THEN INTO THE BERING.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN LOOKS TO BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED LATE IN THE
WEEK...LIKELY RESULTING IN MORE PRECIPITATION FOR MUCH OF THE AREA AS
A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE BERING AND RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC YIELD BROAD SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND.
