NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
1047 AM AKDT THU JUN 7 2012

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER AIR...TODAYS FORECAST CYCLE BEGINS WITH A STRONG UPPER HIGH
CENTER OVER THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES WITH A SMOOTH RIDGE AXIS
EXTENDING WESTWARD ACROSS THE BROOKS RANGE. THIS HIGH CENTER WILL
MIGRATE SLOWLY WESTWARD THROUGH SATURDAY WHILE A WEAKLY DEFINED
UPPER HIGH NE OF WRANGEL ISLAND BUILDS A FEW DECAMETERS TO BECOME
THE MAIN HIGH CENTERED ABOUT 400 NM N OF BARROW BY SAT AFTN...WITH
A RIDGE SWD TO THE BROOKS RANGE THEN ESE INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY.
E TO SE FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTH HALF OF THE NRN AK
MAINLAND.

SURFACE...1040 MB HIGH CENTERED ABOUT 600 NM OF PRUDHOE BAY
WILL DRIFT SLOWLY SEWD...TO ABOUT 400 NM N OF DEMARCATION POINT
BY SAT AFTERNOON WHILE WEAKENING TO 1036 MB. BROAD THERMAL TROUGH
ACROSS THE INTERIOR WILL DEEPEN BY 4-6 MB FRI...THEN WEAKEN SOME
SAT.

ARCTIC COAST...EASTERLY WIND FLOW AND STRATUS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH SAT. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF FOG...MAINLY AT NIGHT AND
IN THE MORNING. OVER THE INLAND FLATS...STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP AT NIGHT THEN GRADUALLY EVAPORATE DURING THE MORNING...TO
BE MOSTLY GONE BY MID DAY. WINDS ALONG THE COAST AND OVER THE
MARINE AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO INCREASE GRADUALLY BEGINNING
FRI AFTERNOON.

THUNDERSTORM FORECAST...

THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ISOLD TSTMS ERN AKZ210-ERN AKZ212-
ERN AKZ214-AKZ215-AKZ216-AKZ227. UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINS IN THE
AREA...WEAKENING SHORT WAVE ALOFT OVER THE WESTERN INTERIOR
WILL PROVIDE SOME UPPER DYNAMICS TO BOOST CONVECTION.

FRI AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUING OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
NORTHERN ALASKA. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BRING IN SOME ADDITIONAL
MOISTURE. THIS COMBINED WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES IN THE
LOWER LEVELS ALOFT TO PRODUCE AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS. DEEPENING
SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH WILL PROVIDE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLD TSTMS EXTREME SRN AKZ219-SRN AKZ220-
AKZ216-AKZ221-AKZ222-AKZ223-AKZ224-AKZ225-AKZ226-AKZ227-ERN AKZ215.
PRECIPITABLE WATER IN THESE AREAS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE RANGE
OF 1.0 TO 1.2 INCHES. SOME STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE HEAVY
RAINFALL. WITH THE INFLUX OF MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER INTO THE
INTERIOR EXPECTED...MOS TEMPERATURE FORECASTS AT SOME INTERIOR
SITES ON FRI LOOK TOO HIGH.

SAT AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUING OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
PARTS OF NORTHERN ALASKA. RIBBON OF UNSTABLE AIR WILL EXTEND FROM
NORTHERN AKZ224 WESTWARD TO THE SEWARD PEN AND LOWER KOBUK VALLEY.
SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH PERSISTING BUT WEAKENING SOME. ISOLATED
TSTMS AKZ210-INLAND AREAS AKZ209-SERN AKZ208-SRN AKZ217-NRN AKZ216-
AKZ219-SRN AKZ220-MOST OF AKZ221-AKZ222-CENTRAL AND NRN AKZ224.
PRECIPITABLE WATER IN THIS BAND OF UNSTABLE AIR EXPECTED TO BE
MAINLY 1.0-1.1 INCHES...WITH SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR TO THE SOUTH.

TEMPERATURES AT WEST COAST SITES ADJACENT TO THE WATER WILL BE
STRONGLY CONTROLLED BY LOCAL WIND FLOW...IN AREAS WHERE ONSHORE
FLOW IS PRESENT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTICEABLY COLDER THAN MOS
FORECASTS. IN OFFSHORE WIND FLOW AREAS...TEMPERATURES WILL BE
WARMER THAN MOS FORECASTS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...LOWER HEIGHTS AND A COOLER TEMPERATURE
PATTERN OVER MUCH OF THE NORTHERN AK MAINLAND EXPECTED TO
BEGIN SUN...BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN TO NEAR SEASONAL
NORMALS. ABSENCE OF STRONG RIDGING ALOFT COMBINED WITH
THE SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH WILL CREATE POTENTIAL FOR
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
MIN RH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE 30 PERCENT IN MOST AREAS...BUT
CONDITIONS COULD APPROACH CRITICAL IN AKZ218-AKZ219-AKZ220 WHERE
NORTHEAST WIND GUSTS TO 20-25 MPH MAY OCCUR IN FRI AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN OTHER AREAS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
WITH HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES...SOME THUNDERSTORMS WILL
PRODUCE HEAVY DOWNPOURS. LOCAL SMALL STREAM FLOODING POSSIBLE IN
AREAS THAT ARE HIT BY MULTIPLE STORMS. INDIVIDUAL STORMS...
WHILE LIKELY PRODUCING HEAVY DOWNPOURS DURING THEIR LIFE CYCLE...
WILL PROBABLY NOT DROP ENOUGH RAIN IN ANY ONE AREA TO CAUSE
HYDROLOGIC PROBLEMS. NEVERTHELESS...RAIN GAGE READINGS SHOULD
BE MONITORED.

&&

.AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PKZ210.

BRISK WIND ADVISORY FOR PKZ225-PKZ230-PKZ240-PKZ245.
