Area forecast discussion, Mar 15, 3:23 PM AKDT, 11 hours 37 minutes before

NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
323 PM AKDT THU MAR 15 2012

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH 60 HOURS. LONG WAVE TROUGH
PATTERN FIRMLY PLANTED OVER NORTHERN ALASKA WILL PERSIST THROUGH
THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE. ALTHOUGH A RIDGE DEVELOPS IN THE BERING SEA
THEN MOVES EASTWARD BUTS GETS SQUASHED DOWN AS IT NEARS WESTERN
ALASKA ON NEXT WED. ALTHOUGH 500 HEIGHTS BEGIN TO RISE A
BIT...LOWER LEVEL COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO BE TRAPPED IN THE
LOWER ATMOSPHERE.

RMOPS INDICATE A LONG WAVE TROUGH PATTERN OVER NORTHERN ALASKA
THROUGH THE END OF MARCH...WHICH DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR AN EARLY
SPRING. HOWEVER...THE LONGER THAT WE CAN SUSTAIN TEMPERATURES THAT
ARE NOT EXTREMELY WARM...THE BETTER THE CHANCE THE BREAK-UP MAY BE
EASIER.

WITH THE HIGH BUILDING IN OVER THE ARCTIC COAST AND THE DOMINANT
LOW PRESSURE IN THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL CONTINUE THE ELEVATED WIND
SPEEDS OVER THE WEST COAST AND THE WESTERN ARCTIC COAST.

PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND OCCURRENCES SHOULD BE VERY LIGHT IF ANY
AT ALL OVER MOST OF NORTHERN ALASKA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE ONLY
THING THAT MAY INSPIRE SOME FLURRIES IS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT
WILL PUSH DOWN FROM THE NORTHEAST TO RESONATE SOMEWHERE NEAR ZONE
219 FOR MOST OF THE WEEKEND.
