Area forecast discussion, Nov 7, 4:15 PM AKST, 11 hours 45 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
415 PM AKST WED NOV 7 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF BROAD UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING THIS AFTERNOON...YIELDING CLEAR AND COLD CONDITIONS
AS THE RIDGE AXIS CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD. THE OTHER FEATURE
OF INTEREST IS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN
PACIFIC...CURRENTLY ABOUT 500 MILES SOUTH OF THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.
AN ASSOCIATED FRONT EXTENDS NORTH AND EASTWARD FROM THE LOW AND IS
NOW LOCATED OVER THE AKPEN AND FAR WESTERN GULF ALASKA...BRINGING
RAIN SHOWERS ACCOMPANIED BY GUSTY WINDS TO THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
AND AKPEN...WITH SOME SNOW MIXED IN OVER THE AKPEN.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT
TERM...PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRIPLE POINT
LOW SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS A 110 KT UPPER
LEVEL JET ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS SHOWS
THE INITIAL FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW APPROACHING
THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND TONIGHT AND THEN SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA ON
THURSDAY. THE TRIPLE POINT LOW WILL THEN FORM ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND TRACK NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AKPEN...APPROACHING THE SOUTHWEST
COAST BY FRIDAY NIGHT. ANOTHER FRONT WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM AS IT
MOVES NORTHWARD ON FRIDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY AS THE
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTH PACIFIC LOW APPROACHES SOUTHCENTRAL
ALASKA. PRECIPITATION WITH THIS FRONT SHOULD BE CONFINED PRIMARILY TO
KODIAK ISLAND...WHICH WILL SEE A RAIN/SNOW MIX INTO THURSDAY MORNING
BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO ALL RAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON. SNOW SHOWERS
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE KENAI PENINSULA
AS THE FRONT REACHES THE AREA ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. MORE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION WILL ARRIVE OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AK ON FRIDAY AS THE
TRIPLE POINT LOW MOVES TOWARD SOUTHWEST AK AND THE NEXT FRONT MAKES
ITS WAY TOWARDS SOUTHCENTRAL AK. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL BE MOSTLY
SNOW...MIXING WITH RAIN ALONG COASTAL AREAS AS WARM ADVECTION
CONTINUES. GAP WINDS WILL INCREASE ON FRIDAY ALONG FAVORED AREAS SUCH
AS TURNAGAIN ARM AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE TO
THE LOW MOVING INTO THE EASTERN BERING. THESE GAP WINDS COUPLED WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW MAY PRODUCE LOCALIZED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW
AND LOW VISIBILITIES THROUGH PORTAGE VALLEY AND TURNAGAIN ARM ON
FRIDAY.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
THE QUIET WEATHER PATTERN WILL COME TO AN END TONIGHT AS OVERRUNNING
PRECIPITATION MOVES OVER THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE FRONT ALONG THE COAST. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS PRECIPITATION
TYPE. PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN AS SNOW TONIGHT AND SHOULD BEGIN TO
TRANSITION TO RAIN DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER...COLD AIR
WILL INITIALLY REMAIN IN PLACE NEAR THE SURFACE AS IT IS OVERRUN BY
WARM ADVECTION FROM THE SOUTH. THIS WILL LEAD TO FREEZING RAIN ACROSS
PORTIONS OF BRISTOL BAY AND THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA THURSDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION SHOULD TRANSITION MOSTLY TO RAIN ON
FRIDAY AS THE SURGE OF WARM/MOIST AIR CONTINUES WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE NEXT FRONT AHEAD OF THE LOW MOVING UP FROM THE AKPEN.

ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...
RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN BERING AND AKPEN THROUGH FRIDAY
AS THE TRIPLE POINT LOW FORMS SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND MOVES NORTHWARD. THESE AREAS WILL THEN SEE A BREAK IN
PRECIPITATION FOR THE START OF THE WEEKEND AS TRANSITORY RIDGING
MOVES THROUGH.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
AN ACTIVE PATTERN LOOKS TO CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK WITH SEVERAL
WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WOULD KEEP THE POSSIBILITY
PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND.

.AER/ALU...WATCH/WARNING SUMMARY
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE WARNING 127 130 150 155 160 165 170 175 176 180.
