Area forecast discussion, Jan 27, 5:31 AM AKST, 9 hours 19 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
531 AM AKST FRI JAN 27 2012

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER AIR...MODELS AGREE WITH DEVELOPING LOW OVER THE ARCTIC OCEAN
DURING THE WEEKEND AND BY SUNDAY EVENING HAVING THE LOW OVER THE
CHUKCHI SEA. THE LOW WILL LIKELY BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 475 DM AND
481 DM CENTERED A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES NORTHEAST OF WRANGEL ISLAND
SUNDAY EVENING.

SURFACE...A 998 MB LOW OVER BANKS ISLAND WILL MOVE NORTHWEST AND
DISSIPATE ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER LOW WILL MOVE SOUTH TO THE CHUKCHI
SEA SATURDAY...BUT MODELS ARE NOT YET IN AGREEMENT ON THE LOCATION
OF THE LOW EVEN AS EARLY AS MID DAY SATURDAY. LOW PRESSURE OVER
THE NORTHEAST GULF OF ALASKA WILL DISSIPATE TODAY AS ANOTHER
STRONGER LOW MOVES NORTH FROM THE GULF. THIS SECOND LOW WILL MOVE
OFF EAST INTO CANADA ON SUNDAY.

NORTH SLOPE...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST LOCATION OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPING OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA HAS MADE FORECASTING WEATHER OVER
THE NORTH SLOPE DIFFICULT IN THE SHORT TERM. THE GFS PULLS LOW
PRESSURE SOUTH TO NEAR WRANGEL ISLAND ON SUNDAY. THE ECMWF TAKES
THE LOW SOUTH TO NEAR BARROW ON SUNDAY. THE NAM KEEPS THE LOW A
FEW HUNDRED MILES NORTHWEST OF BARROW ON SUNDAY. THE MODELS ARE
ACTUALLY IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE WEATHER FORECAST FOR
TUESDAY...WITH EACH INDICATING A DEVELOPING MACKENZIE BAY LOW. IN
GENERAL...INCREASING WINDS FROM A WESTERLY DIRECTION MAY BE
EXPECTED TONIGHT AS THE CHUKCHI SEA LOW MOVES SOUTH. THESE WINDS
WILL BE STRONGER FOR THE WEST HALF OF THE NORTH SLOPE THAN FOR THE
EAST HALF. BRISK WINDS TO 30 KNOTS MAY OCCUR OVER MARINE ZONES 225
THROUGH 235. THERE IS THE CHANCE FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW...FROM
BARROW WEST BUT WITH SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS UNLIKELY.

WEST COAST...THE WEST COAST WILL FIND ITSELF BETWEEN LOW PRESSURES
SEPARATED BY A NARROW RIDGE JUTTING EAST FROM SIBERIA. BY SUNDAY
THERE WILL BE LOW PRESSURE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN WRANGEL ISLAND TO
NORTH OF BARROW AND OTHER LOW PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS.
SNOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE ALEUTIAN LOWS WILL REACH THE SOUTHERN WEST
COAST SATURDAY NIGHT THEN EXPAND NORTH TO THE INTERIOR SUNDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. NORTHERN WEST COAST AREAS...FROM NORTON SOUND
NORTH...WILL REMAIN VERY COLD AND RELATIVELY DRY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

INTERIOR...COLD TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND
THEN A LITTLE WARMING MAY OCCUR FOR THE SOUTHEAST INTERIOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK. LOW PRESSURE MOVING EAST FROM THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
SUNDAY WILL SPREAD SNOW TO THE WESTERN INTERIOR SUNDAY AND TO THE
CENTRAL INTERIOR MONDAY. AMOUNTS WILL GENERALLY BE LESS THAN 2
INCHES. THE ALASKA RANGE WILL BLOCK MUCH OF THE SNOW THE SOUTHEAST
INTERIOR FROM ACCUMULATIONS.
