NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
348 PM AKDT SUN MAR 11 2012

.DISCUSSION...
THE NAM AND GFS COMPUTER WEATHER FORECAST MODELS HAVE VERY SIMILAR
PROJECTIONS THROUGH TUESDAY. THE LONG LIVED TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN MAINLAND OF ALASKA IS EXPECTED TO EXPAND
SOUTHWESTWARD ON MONDAY. A CLOSED LOW ALOFT OVER FAIRBANKS WILL
APPEAR AT THE SAME TIME. ON WEDNESDAY EVENING THE FAIRBANKS LOW
ALOFT WILL REACH BRISTOL BAY. WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN INTERIOR STARTING TUESDAY. THIS WILL
BRING TEMPERATURES UP A LITTLE...NOT A LOT. COLD NORTHEAST FLOW
OVER THE CHUKCHI AND BERING SEA COASTS WILL CAUSE COLDER
TEMPERATURES THERE.

CIRCULATION AROUND THE LOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE SOME TONIGHT AND
MONDAY. ON FRIDAY THE CIRCULATION WILL WEAKEN...AND REMAIN WEAK
THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY. ALL OF THIS IS A PATTERN FOR PARTLY CLOUDY
WEATHER AND SOME FLURRIES OVER THE INTERIOR FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS.

A COLD FRONT CAME ASHORE ON THE ARCTIC COAST TODAY. THERE WAS
WIDESPREAD SNOW ACCOMPANIED BY BRISK WEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. NOW THAT THE FRONT IS DISSIPATING OVER LAND THE WINDS AND
SNOW THERE HAVE DIMINISHED. THE CLOUDS WITH THIS FRONT WERE
BLOCKED BY THE BROOKS RANGE...BUT TO THE WEST...OVERCAST
ALTOSTRATUS CLOUDS MOVED OVER KOTZEBUE SOUND...THE NORTHERN SEWARD
PENINSULA...AND THE NOATAK AND KOBUK VALLEYS. THERE IS ALMOST NO
SNOW FALLING FROM THESE CLOUDS...UNLIKE THE NORTH SLOPE.

A STRONG LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA CONTINUES TO BRING
CLOUDS INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN INTERIOR...AND SOME SNOW TO THE
FORTYMILE AREA. THE SNOW SHOULD END TUESDAY AS THE FLOW ALOFT
BECOMES SOUTHERLY. THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE BROOKS RANGE AND OVER
THE NORTHEASTERN AND SOUTHWEST INTERIOR ARE CLEAR.

A STRONG LOW NOW ABOUT ABOUT 200 MILES SOUTHWEST OF ATTU WILL MOVE
TO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS ON MONDAY MORNING AND THEN TO DUTCH
HARBOR. ALTHOUGH THE LOW WILL BE WEAKENING...CIRCULATION AROUND IT
WILL INCREASE THE WINDS SOME OVER THE BERING SEA AND CHUKCHI SEA
COASTS. AFTER THE LOW CROSSES THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON TUESDAY...THE
NORTH PACIFIC STORM TRACK WILL SHIFT BACK...FAR TO THE SOUTH OF
ALASKA...AS IT HAS BEEN MOST OF THIS WINTER. TEMPERATURES IN
NORTHERN ALASKA WILL BE COLDER THAN NORMAL THIS WEEK...BUT NOT BY
MUCH.
