NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
256 AM AKDT WED APR 11 2012

.DISCUSSION...
HIGH ALOFT THAT COVERS MOST OF NORTHERN AK WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT
NORTH THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH OVER THE
BEAUFORT SEA AND EXTENDING THE NW AK COAST BY FRI. AN UPPER LOW
WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE GULF OF AK TODAY AND TONIGHT AIMING TOWARD
THE PAC NW. AN UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE CENTRAL
BERING TONIGHT WILL JOIN FORCES WITH ANOTHER NORTH PAC LOW AND
THEN BEGIN TO MOVE TOWARD THE WESTERN GULF BY THE WEEKEND.

SFC...A 1035-1040 MB HIGH WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTHERN BEAUFORT
SEA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. A RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE WESTERN
BERING SEA TODAY AND WILL COVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN BERING SEA
THU-FRI.  AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL PASS WELL SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIANS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH LITTLE IMPACT ON THE WEATHER
ACROSS NORTH AK.

INTERIOR...LITTLE CHANGE IN THE AIR MASS ACROSS THE INTERIOR THE
NEXT FEW DAYS WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS CONTINUING ALTHOUGH NOT
DRAMATICALLY SO.  THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS ON
FRIDAY WITH A SHORTWAVE THAT DEVELOPS IN THE COPPER RIVER BASIN
NORTH INTO THE EASTERN AK RANGE/UPPER TANANA VALLEY.  THE GFS IS
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC IN CUTTING OFF A MID LEVEL CIRCULATION THAN THE
NAM AND GENERATES MORE PRECIPITATION IN THE SOUTHEAST INTERIOR FRI
INTO FRI NIGHT. THE GFS ENSEMBLE HAS SOME PRECIP AND THE SREF HAS
HIGH PROBABILITIES OF MEASURABLE PRECIP. WILL GIVE THIS FEATURE A
BIT MORE PLAY THAN IN THE INHERITED FORECASTS...BUT WILL LIMIT TO
CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. LIKELY THAT IF THERE IS ANY PRECIPITATION
THAT IT WILL MOSTLY BE SNOW WITH SOME COOLING OF THE AIR MASS
ALOFT AND WET BULB COOLING.

NORTH SLOPE...THE OFFSHORE HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP LOW LEVEL ELY
FLOW ALONG THE COAST FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.  THIS WILL LEAD TO
AREAS OF STATUS AND PATCHY FOG AND FLURRIES.  BEST CHANCE OF SOME
CLEARING WILL LIKELY BE DIURNALLY FROM MID-AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING...BUT SOME SPOTS WILL STAY SOCKED IN THE LOW CLOUDS ALL
DAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR TO JUST A BIT ABOVE NORMAL AND
MOSTLY IN THE 5 TO 15 ABOVE RANGE FOR HIGHS ALONG THE COAST.

WEST COAST...SOME HIGH AND MID LEVEL CLOUDS ALONG MUCH OF THE WEST
COAST ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW THAT IS PASSING SOUTH OF THE AK
PENINSULA.  ALSO SOME PATCHES OF MAINLY COASTAL STATUS AND FOG.  NO
ORGANIZED AREAS OF PRECIP. FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WITH WINDS IN THE
MARINE AREAS REMAINING SUB-ADVISORY.

IN THE MEDIUM RANGE...THE MID-RANGE GUIDANCE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT
ON HIGH ALOFT IN THE MID RANGE OVR THE BEAUFORT SEA ARCING SWWD INTO
CHUKTOKA. MODELS ALSO IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON DEEP LOW IN THE GULF OF
ALASKA WITH CYCLONIC CRLN COVERING MUCH OF MAINLAND ALASKA.
HOWEVER...TIMING AND STRENGTH OF SHORTWAVES QUITE VARIABLE. THIS
WILL NOT BE AN WET PATTERN FOR NORTHERN ALASKA...BUT AHEAD OF THE
SHORTWAVES...ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE. AMS PROBABLY STILL
COOL/DRY ENOUGH FOR PRECIP TO BE SNOW...BUT IN ANY EVENT AMOUNTS
WOULD BE TINY. TEMPS MOSTLY NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MIN RH'S THE NEXT COUPLE OF AFTERNOONS WILL DROP TO
20-30 PCT IN MOST SOUTHERN INTERIOR ZONES...BUT THE WIND REGIME
WILL REMAIN LIGHT.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NONE ATTM. TEMPS ABOVE NORMAL IN THE INTERIOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS...BUT WITH TEMPS AT NIGHT GETTING WELL DOWN BELOW
FREEZING. OVERALL A GOOD SET UP FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS TO SLOWLY
RELEASE WATER FROM THE SNOW PACK.

&&

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE.
