Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 3:10 PM AKST, 11 hours 34 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
310 PM AKST FRI DEC 7 2012

.DISCUSSION...
THE 960 MB LOW OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC WILL DEEPEN A BIT AS IT
MOVES NORTH TO BE NEAR DUTCH HARBOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IT WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST INTO BRISTOL BAY SUNDAY.
THE MODELS DO NOT HAVE THIS A HEAVY PRECIPITATION PRODUCER FOR
NORTHERN ALASKA...AND SATELLITE PICS SUGGEST NOTHING TO THE
CONTRARY. INCREASING WINDS OVER MOST OF MAINLAND ALASKA SOUTH
OF THE BROOKS RANGE THOUGH...AND CERTAINLY SOME SNOW OVER MOST
OF THE INTERIOR AS THE THING LIFTS OUT.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
