NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
300 PM AKST TUE DEC 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS SIMILAR THROUGH ABOUT 48 HOURS. CURRENT RAGGED FRONT OVER
WEST CENTRAL ALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO DISSIPATE IN PLACE WITHOUT
MUCH FURTHER MOVEMENT. UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WITH DEEP COLD AIR OVER
THE WEST COAST WILL MOVE EASTWARD TO THE ALCAN BORDER BY THU
EVENING. STRONG HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN
BEHIND THE TROUGH FROM THE BERING SEA. IT WILL MOVE SLOWLY
EASTWARD AS WELL.

THE CURRENT UPPER LEVEL LOW WITH THE COLD TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST OF
THE ALCAN BORDER AND THEN SLIDE DOWN THE EASTERN BORDER OF ALASKA
TO NEAR NORTHWAY BY FRI NIGHT. THE LOW WILL THEN MOVE TO THE
SOUTHWEST INTERIOR WHICH WILL CUT OFF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. THE
UPPER LOW WILL SPLIT AND ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL FORM NEAR
GREAT BEAR LAKE IN WESTERN CANADA AND CREATE AN EAST WEST TROUGH.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA HAS DEVELOPED THE TANANA VALLEY
JET OVER THE INTERIOR HAS BROUGHT UP THE WINDS IN SEVERAL PLACES
AND REFUSED TO LET THE WINDS DROP OFF. THIS HAS CREATED LOW WIND
CHILLS OVER PARTS OF THE INTERIOR. THESE WINDS SHOULD START
DIMINISHING LATER TONIGHT.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
