Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 5:53 AM AKST, 8 hours 7 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 553 AM AKST FRI FEB 24 2012 .DISCUSSION... WEAK FLOW ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE PERSISTS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN ALASKA THIS MORNING. A DISSIPATING TROUGH OVER THE INTERIOR WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY MOVE EAST THROUGH TONIGHT. CLOUDS AND FLURRIES WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE TROUGH EXITS INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY. A SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE WILL BE UNDERWAY IN THE BERING SEA BY THIS AFTERNOON AS A STRONG LOW DEEPENS OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO TRACK EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN BERING SEA THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND MOVE INTO GULF OF ALASKA SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM WILL INCREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA SOUTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE. STRONG WINDS ACCOMPANIED BY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WILL SPREAD INTO WESTERN ALASKA MAINLY SOUTH OF THE SEWARD PENINSULA SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD INLAND TO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR ON SUNDAY. NORTH SLOPE...A COLD UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE ARCTIC OCEAN WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES IN THE 15 TO 35 BELOW RANGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. ONLY FLURRIES AND PATCHY FOG ARE EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. SURFACE LOW MOVING SOUTH MAY BRING AN INCREASE IN THE WESTERLY WINDS SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH LOW WIND CHILLS MAINLY FOR THE COASTAL AREA. ANY SNOW WITH THE LOW WILL BE LIGHT. WEST COAST...EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING OVER THE BERING SEA...AND THE REMAINDER OF WESTERN ALASKA BY SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOWFALL SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WILL BE MAINLY FROM SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND SOUTH AND EAST OVER NORTON SOUND AND THE WESTERN INTERIOR. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THIS AREA FOR SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW. INTERIOR...AREAS OF LIGHT SNOW AND FLURRIES WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LESS THAN AN INCH IN MOST AREAS. THE LOW MOVING INTO THE BERING SEA WILL SPREAD MORE SNOW INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR SOUTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE ON SUNDAY...EXCEPT MUCH OF THE SNOW WILL BE BLOCKED OVER THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE INTERIOR BY THE ALASKA RANGE. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL ALSO DEVELOP ON SUNDAY THROUGH ALASKA RANGE PASSES BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW ADVISORY LEVEL SINCE WINDS ALOFT WILL BE MORE SOUTHWESTERLY RATHER THAN A SOUTHERLY. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
