NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
1224 PM AKDT SAT SEP 29 2012

.DISCUSSION...
ALOFT...PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. BROAD BUT WEAK TROUGH OVER NORTHERN ALASKA
WILL GIVE WAY TO A SOUTHWEST FLOW BY MON AS A MIGRATORY
RIDGE BUILDS AND MOVES EASTWARD. A WEAK UPPER LOW OVER THE
NORTHERN KAMCHATKA PENINSULA AND DEEPEN SOME AS IT MOVES EAST TO
THE ST MATTHEW ISLAND AREA BY MON. THIS LOW WILL THEN CURVE
NORTHWARD AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN WITH A WEAKENING SHORT WAVE TROUGH
TRAVERSING THE FORECAST AREA TUE INTO TUE NIGHT.

SURFACE...A BROAD TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN ALASKA MAINLAND
WITH SEVERAL WEAK LOW CENTERS WILL BE WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
SAT NIGHT WHICH WILL GRADUALLY BUILD THROUGH SUN. A 992
MB LOW WILL DEVELOP EAST OF THE NORTHERN KAMCHATKA
PENINSULA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND MOVE EAST TO THE ST
MATTHEW ISLAND AREA BY MON AFTERNOON. SOUTHEAST WINDS
WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 30 KT W OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND
SUN MORNING...AND TO THE REST OF PKZ210 BY SUN EVENING
AS THE ASSOCIATED FRONT PUSHES N AND E. RAIN DEVELOPING
OVER ST LAWRENCE ISLAND SUN EVE. AN INCREASING CHANCE
OF RAIN OR SNOW OVER THE WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR THROUGH
MON NIGHT AS THE SURFACE FRONT AND SHORT WAVE TROUGH ALOFT MOVES
NORTHEAST. IN THE SHORT TERM...SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS OVER MUCH OF
THE INTERIOR AND BROOKS RANGE TONIGHT...AND OVER MUCH OF THE
NORTHERN AND EASTERN INTERIOR...BROOKS RANGE...AND MUCH PF THE
INTERIOR ARCTIC SLOPE SUN. THIS SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL THEN BECOME
LESS WIDESPREAD AND END BY EARLY MON MORNING.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL...SOUTH WINDS TO 30 KT TUE WILL BRING
SEA LEVELS UP TO ABOUT 2 FEET ABOVE NORMAL IN NORTHERN AND
EASTERN NORTON SOUND. MAXIMUM SEAS IN NORTON SOUND ARE EXPECTED TO
BE ONLY AROUND 6 FEET...SO A HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL PROBABLY NOT
BE NEEDED FOR THIS AREA. CURRENT GFS AND EUROPEAN PROJECTING
A STRONGER SYSTEM INTO THE BERING SEA BY THU...970-975 MB
CENTER NEAR ST MATTHEW ISLAND BY THU AFTERNOON. THIS STORM COULD
BRING A 48 HR PERIOD OF S TO SE 30-40 KT OVER NORTON SOUND AND
