NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
239 PM AKST WED DEC 26 2012

.DISCUSSION...
ALOFT...A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IS DEVELOPING TO BRING SEVERAL
WEATHER SYSTEMS NORTH OVER THE STATE INTO THE WEEKEND. RIDGING
OVER THE EASTERN NORTH PACIFIC WILL ALLOW THE ENERGY FROM STORMS
MOVING ALONG THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC TO BE PUSHED NORTH OVER
THE STATE. THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL SPLIT OVER THE GULF OF ALASKA AND
BRISTOL BAY TONIGHT WHILE THE ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE MOVES TO THE
SEWARD PENINSULA EARLY THU AM BEFORE DISSIPATING. ANOTHER SHORT
WAVE WILL MOVE NORTH OVER THE WEST COAST THU NIGHT AND FRI AND
HELP THE OVERALL FLOW TO BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY. ON FRIDAY NIGHT
THE EASTERN PACIFIC RIDGE WILL BUILD NORTH OVER EASTERN ALASKA AS
A STRONGER SYSTEM MOVES NORTH OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE
STATE. THE ASSOCIATED SHORT WAVE WILL STRETCH FROM THE YUKON DELTA
TO ANCHORAGE 3PM SAT AND PROVIDE STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER
INTERIOR AND WESTERN ALASKA.

SURFACE...1008 MB LOW JUST NORTHEAST OF BARTER ISLAND DISSIPATING
BY 3PM THU. 961 MB LOW SOUTH OF KODIAK ISLAND WILL MOVE NORTHEAST
AND SPLIT INTO TWO LOWS...ONE NEAR KODIAK ISLAND AND ANOTHER OVER
BRISTOL BAY AT 9AM THU...THE LOW OVER BRISTOL BAY WILL DRIFT
NORTHWEST AND THE LOW NEAR KODIAK WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST WITH BOTH
DISSIPATING BY 3AM FRI. THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE
NORTHWEST AND WEAKEN...DISSIPATING NEAR THE BERING STRAIT TO
MCGRATH 6PM THU. A WARM FRONT WILL MOVE NORTH OVER WESTERN AK FRI
AND FRI NIGHT BUT WEAKEN AND DISSIPATED BY 3AM SAT. A 967 MB LOW

3PM SAT. THE ASSOCIATED STRONG WEATHER FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM
BETHEL TO KODIAK AT 3AM SAT AND CONTINUE NORTH TO EXTEND FROM
EMMONAK TO UNALAKLEET TO FAIRBANKS AT 3PM SAT.

MODELS...AGREE FAIRLY WELL IN SHORT TERM AND IN MEDIUM TERM.

NORTH SLOPE...WITH THE MOVEMENT NORTH OF THE FIRST WEATHER
FRONT...NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE WESTERN THIRD WILL INCREASE THU.
WINDS OVER FAR EAST WILL TURN FROM WEST TO EAST BY THU NIGHT AND
THEN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PORTION WILL SEE WINDS INCREASE IN
EARNEST ON SAT WITH BLOWING SNOW LIKELY.

WESTERN ALASKA...SOME SNOW MOVING OVER ZONES 214 AND 215 TONIGHT
AND 213 THU WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES ACCUMULATION. MUCH LESS SNOW
EXPECTED OVER 212 AND 211. NORTHEAST WINDS PICKING UP WITH SOME
AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. WITH INCOMING WEAKENING WARM FRONT
FRI...SPOTTY SNOW SPREADING NORTH TO ARCTIC CIRCLE THROUGH FRI
NIGHT AND SOMEWHAT INTO THE INTERIOR ZONES. AMOUNTS PROBABLY LESS
THAN 2 INCHES. ON SATURDAY EXPECT SNOW AND WARMER TEMPERATURES TO
SPREAD NORTH OVER ALL AREAS BY LATE IN THE DAY WITH HEAVIEST
AMOUNTS FAVORING SOUTHERN SLOPES...TOO EARLY TO TELL HOW MUCH BUT
MAY HAVE A NEED FOR WATCHES DUE TO SNOW AND/OR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.

INTERIOR...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA WILL DRIFT
