SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT MON SEP 24 2012

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

A LARGE CENTER OF ACTION DOMINATES THE CHUKCHI AND BERING SEA REGIONS

THIS MORNING. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS SITUATED OVER THE NORTHWESTERN
ALASKA COASTLINE AND IS MOVING NORTH CURRENTLY...WHILE A SECOND UPPER
LEVEL IS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING. SOUTHWEST FLOW
ENCOMPASSES MOST OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND...WITH A TRANSIENT
SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING OVER THE SOUTHWEST COASTLINE IN THIS SOUTHWEST
FLOW. A SERIES OF WEAK SHORTWAVES ARE MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS
SOUTHCENTRAL...ONE IS BRINGING LIGHT RAIN FROM THE WESTERN KENAI
PENINSULA NORTH TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY...WHILE ANOTHER IS LOCATED OVER
THE FAR NORTHERN GULF AFFECTING PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE COPPER
RIVER BASIN.

OUT WEST...A GALE FORCE FRONT ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG JET DIGGING
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF ITS PARENT LOW IS HELPING TO GENERATE
SEVERAL EMBEDDED LOW PRESSURE CENTERS. THESE EMBEDDED LOW PRESSURE
CENTERS WILL SLOWLY CONSOLIDATE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE VICINITY
OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA...THEN BECOME ABSORBED INTO A RAPIDLY
STRENGTHENING LOW WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE STRONG JET STREAK TO
THE SOUTH OF THE ISLANDS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING THIS LOW WILL REACH A SUB-960 MB INTENSITY ABOUT 300 NAUTICAL
MILES SOUTH OF KODIAK ON ITS WAY TOWARDS THE GULF OF ALASKA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH DAY 5...ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS
TO THE MULTIPLE LOWS AND THE PRINCIPAL INTERACTIONS WITH EACH OTHER
AS THE EVENTUALLY CONSOLIDATE OR BECOME ABSORBED INTO A STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM SET TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GULF ON WEDNESDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL...

PATCHY LIGHT RAIN AND MVFR CEILINGS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH OVER INLAND
AREAS OF SOUTHCENTRAL THROUGH THIS MORNING IN ASSOCIATION WITH A
COUPLE OF WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH SOUTHWEST FLOW. LIGHT RAIN
WILL CONTINUE OVER EASTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND TODAY. THE FIRST
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GULF TONIGHT AND THEN REACH THE
NORTH GULF COAST BY TUESDAY EVENING. THIS SYSTEM WILL INDUCE A STRONG
STORM-FORCE BARRIER JET ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF...AND AS THE FRONT
MOVES INLAND WILL LIKELY BRING STRONG WINDS TO WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM
SOUND AS WELL. THE TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE FAR
NORTHWESTERN GULF IS FAVORABLE FOR UNUSUALLY STRONG EAST TO NORTHEAST
WINDS TO IMPACT WHITTIER...AS WELL AS THE MORE CUSTOMARY LOCATIONS
SUCH AS PORTAGE VALLEY AND TURNAGAIN ARM. A HIGH WIND WATCH WILL BE
ISSUED WITH THE MORNING FORECAST PACKAGE TO REFLECT THIS POSSIBILITY.

SOUTHWEST...

CLEAR SKIES WITH PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING WILL SLOWLY GIVE WAY TO
CLOUDS AND RAIN AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH EMBEDDED SURFACE LOWS
MOVES NORTH INTO BRISTOL BAY AND THE SOUTHWEST COASTLINE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. WINDS WILL INCREASE IN THE NORMAL CHANNELED
AREAS OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA BUT SHOULD NOT RESULT IN ANYTHING OUT OF
THE ORDINARY. OFFSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE AND SOME ASSOCIATED DRYING
SHOULD COMMENCE AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES TOWARDS THE WESTERN GULF
ON WEDNESDAY. THE ONE EXCEPTION MAY BE ALONG THE ALEUTIAN RANGE WHERE
SOME RAIN MAY OCCUR ON THE NORTHWESTERN FRINGE OF THE STORM SYSTEM.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...

RAIN WITH EMBEDDED GALES (WITH PERHAPS SOME LOW-END STORM FORCE WINDS
OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS) WILL ENCOMPASS MOST OF THE BERING REGION
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A GRADUAL DRYING TREND WILL COMMENCE
TOWARDS MID WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE FAR
WESTERN BERING AND STRONG LOW PRESSURE PUSHES TOWARDS THE WESTERN
GULF.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

THE LATE WEEK AND WEEKEND PATTERN WILL BE DOMINATED BY THE LARGE
CIRCULATION AROUND LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF AND ITS REMNANTS AS IT
MOVES INLAND OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA. STRONG GALES WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH
WITH TIME AS THE SYSTEM SPINS DOWN...WITH RAIN AFFECTING MOST OF
SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND...WITH HEAVIEST
AMOUNTS ALONG AND NEAR THE COAST.
