SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
400 PM AKDT SUN OCT 21 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE IS A SMALL CHANGE IN THE WEATHER
PATTERN OVER SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA AND THE GULF OF ALASKA AS THE UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE HAVE
TEMPORARILY WEAKENED. THIS HAS DIMINISHED THE SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR STRONG WINDS THROUGH THE
CHANNELED TERRAIN.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA AS WELL AS THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND EASTERN
ALEUTIANS ARE IN SOME DIFFERENT WEATHER AS A FRONT IS MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA TODAY. THIS FRONT WILL RAPIDLY WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AND BE
REPLACED BY A BUILDING RIDGE IN THE EASTERN BERING SEA THAT WILL
MERGE WITH THE RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE MONDAY.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS ARE DOING WELL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY. THEY UNCERTAINTIES IN THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FROM YESTERDAY
LOOK TO BE MAINLY RESOLVED AS THE LOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL JUST REACH
THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN NEAR AMCHITKA BEFORE BEING TURNED AWAY BY THE
STRONG RIDGE OVER THE STATE.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS SHOULD BE THE STORY FOR SOUTH
CENTRAL ALASKA THROUGH MONDAY.
THE PRECIPITATION IN SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA SHOULD
END BY MIDNIGHT WITH SOME RESIDUAL LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG
DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT. THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG MAY BE SLOW IN
DISSIPATING MONDAY AS THE BUILDING RIDGE WILL TRAP THE MOISTURE UNDER
AN SUBSIDENCE INVERSION AND THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE
WEAK PREVENTING SIGNIFICANT MIXING.
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS WILL SEE RAIN DEVELOP FROM
WEST TO EAST TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LOW THAT
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE PUSHED SOUTH OF THE
AREA BY WEDNESDAY AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO RETROGRADE WESTWARD BY
MIDWEEK.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL FORM A BLOCKING PATTERN
THAT WILL KEEP SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE WEEK.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA WILL BE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AS WELL BUT MAY STRUGGLE
AT TIMES TO GET RID OF THE LOW CLOUDS IN COASTAL AREAS AND PATCHY FOG
INLAND. OTHER THAT THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG QUESTIONS THERE SHOULD BE
OTHERWISE CLEAR SKIES MOST OF THE WEEK.
BY WEDNESDAY THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND ALEUTIAN ISLANDS WILL SEE
PRECIPITATION MOVE OUT OF THE AREA WITH STRATUS LIKELY PUSHING INTO
THE AREA OFF THE BERING SEA. HOWEVER THE SURFACE FLOW WILL BE MORE
NORTHEAST THAT NORTHWEST AND THAT MAY ALLOW SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
AS WELL.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...STORM 172. GALE 170 176 179 185
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
