SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1225 PM AKDT SAT OCT 27 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...SATELLITE IMAGERY IS NEARLY IDENTICAL
TO YESTERDAY WITH A TEXTBOOK REX BLOCK FIRMLY IN CONTROL. CLOSED
UPPER HIGH IS CENTERED NEAR SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND WITH THE CLOSED
UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC. PACIFIC LOW BOTTOMED OUT
LAST NIGHT AND IS NOW SLOWLY WEAKENING. THUS...WINDS ON THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE LOW (ALONG THE ALASKA PENINSULA  AND EASTERN
ALEUTIANS) HAVE PEAKED AND BEGUN TO DIMINISH. MEANWHILE WEAK UPPER
WAVES TRANSITING THE EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE ARE DROPPING
SOUTHWARD ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL THIS MORNING. A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
DOWNWARD MOTION AND RESULTANT STRENGTHENING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS IS
PRODUCING SOME LOCALIZED GAP WINDS IN NORTHEAST PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.
OTHERWISE COLD AND DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
MAINLAND.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH BREAKDOWN
OF REX BLOCK EARLY THIS UPCOMING WEEK. HOWEVER THERE CONTINUES TO
BE MINOR DIFFERENCES IN SPEED AND AMPLITUDE OF TROUGHS DROPPING OUT
OF THE ARCTIC AND RESULTANT STRENGTH OF DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW OVER
THE NORTHERN GULF. NAM SEEMS TO BE INITIAL OUTLIER WITH MORE
AMPLIFIED TROUGH AND FASTER MOVEMENT...SO PREFER GFS/EC. BY TUESDAY
GFS BECOMES A BIT OF AN OUTLIER WITH DEEPER MORE AMPLIFIED
SOLUTION...SO PREFER EC/NAM. IN ANY CASE...THESE MODEL DIFFERENCES
WON'T HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON THE FORECAST. MAIN CHANGES FOR TODAY
WILL BE TO STRENGTHEN WINDS AS COLD ADVECTION BEGINS IN EARNEST
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...REX BLOCK WILL HOLD IN FOR ONE MORE DAY
BEFORE PATTERN RAPIDLY CHANGES. ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY A STRONG
ARCTIC TROUGH WILL DIVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS MAINLAND ALASKA FORCING
THE UPPER HIGH CENTER TO QUICKLY RETROGRADE WESTWARD TO SIBERIA
WHILE A SPOKE OF THE RIDGE PUSHES DOWN INTO THE PACIFIC AHEAD OF
THE TROUGH. THIS IN TURN FORCES THE CURRENT LOW OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL PACIFIC TO MAKE A QUICK EXIT TOWARD THE NORTHWEST U.S.

THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT ON FORMATION OF SURFACE LOW OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF ON MONDAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL SETTLE IN SOUTH OF
CAPE SUCKLING. BASED ON THIS POSITION THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO SEE
SNOW ARE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE COPPER BASIN...ALTHOUGH LOW
LEVEL OFFSHORE FLOW WILL TEND TO MAINTAIN DRY CONDITIONS NEAR THE
SURFACE...SO EXPECT ANY SNOW THAT DOES FALL WILL BE ON THE LIGHT
SIDE. FOR THE REST OF SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
THIS PATTERN CHANGE WILL INITIALLY BRING MORE DRY AND COLD WEATHER.
THERE WILL BE A FEW HIGHER CLOUDS AROUND ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER
TROUGH AS WELL AS SOME GUSTY WINDS CAUSED BY COLD AIR ADVECTION.

COLD ADVECTION WILL CAUSE MORE SIGNIFICANT WINDS AS COLD AIR ADVECTS
ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING AND ALASKA PENINSULA INTO THE WESTERN GULF.
SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO QUICKLY DEVELOP AS ARCTIC AIR MOVES OVER THE
RELATIVELY WARMER WATERS OF THE BERING SEA...GULF OF ALASKA...AND
NORTH PACIFIC.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...FORECAST UNCERTAINTY GROWS SIGNIFICANTLY FROM
THE MIDDLE TO LATE PART OF NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES
TO DIG SOUTHWARD INTO THE PACIFIC AND INTERACTS WITH A LOW CROSSING
THE NORTH PACIFIC. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AGREE THIS WILL DEVELOP INTO
A DEEP VERTICALLY STACKED LOW WHICH WILL MOVE INTO THE GULF.
HOWEVER...GFS IS NOTABLY DEEPER AND CONTINUES TO TRACK THIS LOW
TOWARD SOUTHEAST ALASKA NEXT WEEKEND WHILE ECMWF IS WEAKER AND
TRACKS IT TOWARD SOUTHCENTRAL. GFS ENSEMBLE SPREAD IS VERY LARGE
BY THE END OF THE WEEK. IN EITHER SCENARIO EXPECT SIGNIFICANT WINDS
AND PRECIP OVER THE GULF. THE ECMWF SOLUTION WOULD BRING A GOOD
CHANCE OF SNOW TO SOUTHCENTRAL WHILE THE GFS WOULD KEEP US DRY AND
COLD. BOTTOM LINE...FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THIS STORM IS VERY LOW.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING...150 155 160.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
