NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
446 AM AKDT MON JUN 4 2012

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVELS...A MODERATELY STRONG 565 DM RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD
OUT OF NW CANADA AND INTO NORTHERN AK. THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE IS
IN THE NORTHERN YUKON EARLY THIS MORNING. HEIGHTS WILL CONTINUE TO
RISE ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE MAINLAND THROUGH WEDNESDAY
ALTHOUGH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH RETREATS BACK EAST INTO CANADA. AN
UPPER LOW NEAR THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS WILL MOVE EAST ALONG 50N
MOVING SOUTH OF THE GULF OF AK BY WEDNESDAY PM.

SFC...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHES FROM NORTHERN GREENLAND AND
INTO THE BEAUFORT SEA.  THE PORTION OF THE RIDGE IN THE NORTHERN
BEAUFORT SEA WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN TO A 1040 MB CENTER BY 12Z
THU ABOUT 600 MILES NORTH OF PRUDHOE BAY.  A 1021 MB HIGH NEAR NOME
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE TO WEST TO THE GULF OF ANADYR BY 12Z
TUE AND THEN WILL SLOWLY BUILD ACROSS THE NORTHERN BERING SEA
THROUGH WED.  A THERMAL THROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO COVER THE SOUTHERN
INTERIOR AND AK RANGE THROUGH FRI AND WILL STRENGTHEN SOME
DIURNALLY.

INTERIOR...ELY FLOW ALOFT AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH WILL
TRANSPORT MOISTURE OUT OF CANADA...SHORTWAVES IN THE FLOW...AND
INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE THERMAL TROUGH WILL PRODUCE
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THE NEXT 3 DAYS. IN GENERAL THE AXIS OF
GREATEST MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY SHIFTS TO THE WEST WITH
TIME...SO THAT MUCH OF THE EASTERN INTERIOR SHOULD BE FREE OF
THUNDERSTORMS BY WED PM. THERE WILL ALSO BE A SHARP CUT OFF TO THE
NORTH OF THE YUKON UPLANDS WHERE IT WILL REMAIN DRY AND MORE
STABLE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER RIDGE. ONE SHORTWAVE MOVED
WEST ACROSS THE TANANA FLATS OVERNIGHT AND HAS NOW MORE LESS
FALLEN APART. THE STRONGEST OF THE SHORTWAVES OVER THE NEXT THREE
DAYS APPEARS TO ONE ON WEDNESDAY THAT THE MODELS ALL PICK UP ON.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE WARMER THAN NORMAL IN MOST AREAS...ESPECIALLY
SO ACROSS THE YUKON FLATS AND AREAS WHERE THERE IS LESS CLOUD
COVER AND SOME SPOTS MAY HIT 80 DEGREES.

WEST COAST...MOISTURE MOVING WEST OUT OF THE INTERIOR WILL PUSH INTO
THE LOWER KOYUKUK AND MIDDLE YUKON VALLEYS TODAY WHERE THERE WILL BE
SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON.  THE COVERAGE SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE TUE-WED WITH THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE IN SOUTHERN ZONE 208-INLAND 209-EASTERN 210-212-NORTHERN
215-216-217 BY TUE PM.  AREAS ALONG THE COAST WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
AREAS OF MAINLY DIURNAL STATUS AND FOG.

NORTH SLOPE...AREAS OF STATUS AND FOG ALONG THE COAST WITH SOME
SPOTTY DRIZZLE/FREEZING DRIZZLE. THE FOG AND STATUS IS NOT
EXPECTED TO EXTEND TOO FAR INLAND...BUT AREAS ALONG AND NEAR THE
COAST WILL LIKELY NOT ENTIRELY BREAK OUT OF THE LOW STATUS ALL
DAY. THE ELY FLOW WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TON THROUGH WED AS THE
OFFSHORE HIGH CONTINUES TO BUILD AND THE GRADIENT INCREASES
BETWEEN THE OFFSHORE HIGH AND THE INTERIOR THERMAL TROUGH. BRISK
WINDS ARE EXPECTED FROM ABOUT BARROW EAST BY TUE.

MEDIUM RANGE...THE UPPER RIDGE REMAINS THE DOMINATE FEATURE ALOFT
ACROSS NORTHERN AK AND INTO THE ARCTIC WATERS. TO THE SOUTH OF
THIS FEATURE THE THERMAL THROUGH WILL COMBINE WITH DISTURBANCES
MOVING WEST OF CANADA TO PRODUCE SOME CONVECTION ACROSS THE
INTERIOR. TEMPS WILL CONTINUE ABOVE NORMAL MOST AREAS FROM THE
BROOKS RANGE SOUTH INTO NEXT WEEKEND. OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO
EARLY THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE MODEL SPREAD INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY.
THE RMOPS WHICH HAVE HIGH RELATIVE MEASURES OF PREDICTABILITY
THROUGH ABOUT DAY 6 SHOW DIMINISHING PREDICTABILITY IN THE PATTERN
FROM EAST TO WEST ON DAYS 7-10.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...156 LIGHTNING STRIKES YESTERDAY...MAINLY IN THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR. CONVECTION DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS
WILL PUSH WEST AND INTO THE WESTERN INTERIOR. AREAS NORTH OF THE
YUKON UPLANDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY AND MORE STABLE. WILL NEED
TO KEEP AN EYE ON ZONE 220 AS THE MIN RH'S MAY COMBINE WITH STRONG
ENOUGH NE WIND FOR SOME FIRE WX CONCERNS BY TUE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NO MAIN STEM RIVER ISSUES THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WILL NEED TO
CLOSELY MONITOR CONVECTION FOR POSSIBLE SMALL STREAM ISSUES...ESPECIALLY
SO IN THE AREA FROM NENANA TO THE PARK.

&&

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