NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
159 PM AKDT SUN AUG 26 2012

.DISCUSSION...

MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH 48 HOURS. A 1001 MB LOW ON THE
Y-K DELTA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST TO BE NEAR FORT YUKON BY
ABOUT 12Z MON. THE FRONT HAD BEEN A TRIPLE POINT BY EARLY
AFTERNOON BUT WAS QUICKLY OCCLUDING BUT HAD A DECENT SOUTHWEST
FLOW PATTERN SET UP WITH IT AND TRAILING MOISTURE COMING OUT OF
THE PACIFIC AND BERING SEA.

MUCH COLDER AIR FILTERING DOWN FROM THE NORTHWEST AND WILL PUSH
DOWN TO THE ALASKA RANGE BY EARLY TUE MORNING WITH THE DEEP UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH MOVING EASTWARD. A TRANSITORY RIDGE WILL FOLLOW THE
TROUGH AND THEN POP THE TEMPERATURES UP A BIT DURING MID WEEK
BEFORE ANOTHER AND MORE POTENT UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE SWINGS DOWN
FROM THE NORTHWEST AT THE END OF THE WEEK AND THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND. THIS LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL BRING SNOW TO THE ARCTIC COAST
AND PORTIONS OF THE WEST COAST NORTH OF THE SEWARD
PENINSULA...ALTHOUGH SNOW AMOUNTS WOULD BE LIGHT.

WEST COAST WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN WET FOR THE MOST PART AFTER TUE
AS THE BATCH OF SYSTEMS MAKE LAND FALL AND CONTINUE TO WRING OUT
MOISTURE OVER THE AREA.

WINDS WILL NOT BE MUCH OF AN ISSUES EXCEPT FOR SOME MINIMUM SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES OVER THE EASTERN ARCTIC ON MON.
