SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST WED FEB 13 2013

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE WEAKENING LOW IN THE GULF IS CURRENTLY DISSIPATING AS IT MAKES
LANDFALL JUST EAST OF SEWARD. A WEAK SMALL SCALE LOW THAT FORMED
OVERNIGHT IN COOK INLET IS MOVING INTO NORTHERN COOK INLET...AND IS
BEGINNING TO PRODUCE SNOW OVER THE ANCHORAGE BOWL. THE PERSISTENT
NORTHERN BERING LOW IS FINALLY BEGINNING TO MAKE LANDFALL OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA...AND WILL DISSIPATE OVER NORTON SOUND LATE TONIGHT.
THE NEXT WEATHER MAKER FOR ALASKA IS CURRENTLY CENTERED WELL SOUTH OF
DUTCH HARBOR...AND IS SLOWLY PROGRESSING OFF TO THE NORTH. THIS LOW
WILL BEGIN IMPACTING THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS THIS AFTERNOON...WHILE AN
ASSOCIATED FRONT STRETCHES INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM WITH THE LOCATION
OF THE PRIMARILY LOW CENTER CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS. THE NAM
HOWEVER IS FURTHER EAST WITH A SECONDARY LOW FROM THIS SYSTEM...BRING
IT DIRECTLY OVER KODIAK ISLAND THIS EVENING. THE GFS/EC SOLUTION FOR
THIS SECONDARY LOW WAS USED FOR THE MORNING PACKAGE...WHICH KEEPS THE
LOW OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA. DIFFERENCES ALSO EXIST WITH THIS
SECONDARY LOW ALOFT...AS THE LAST TWO RUNS OF THE NAM KEEP THIS AS A
DEEPER CLOSED LOW SOLUTION...RATHER THAN THE FASTER MOVING SHORTWAVE
TROUGH REPRESENTED IN THE GFS/EC...AND WAS PREFERED FOR THE MORNING
PACKAGE. MODEL AGREEMENT IS THEN A LITTLE BETTER ALOFT STARTING
THURSDAY EVENING...SO THERE IS NOW BETTER CONFIDENCE WITH BRINGING
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL TO THE ANCHORAGE AREA ON FRIDAY.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
.SOUTHCENTRAL...THE SMALL SCALE LOW OVER NORTHERN COOK INLET IS
BEGINNING TO PRODUCE CONTINUOUS SNOWFALL OVER THE ANCHORAGE
BOWL...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS MORNING. MOST AREAS
OF SOUTHCENTRAL WILL THEN EXPERIENCE A SHORT BREAK IN PRECIPITATION
UNTIL THIS EVENING WHEN THE NEXT WAVE MOVES INTO GULF COAST. THIS
SHOULD MOSTLY BE CONFINED TO COASTAL AREAS...AS DOWN SLOPING SHOULD
TAKE OVER FOR ANCHORAGE...THE MATSU VALLEY...AND KENAI PENINSULA. A
BETTER CHANCE FOR SNOWFALL IN THESE AREAS WILL COME ON FRIDAY AS A
SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL LOWS PROGRESS THROUGH THE AREA.

.SOUTHWEST...A DEVELOPING LOW SOUTH OF EASTERN ALEUTIANS WILL BRING
ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW TO MUCH OF THE SOUTHWEST AND ALASKA PENINSULA
TODAY...AND CONTINUING THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. NORTH WINDS AND COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL CREATE WIND CHILLS TO 35 BELOW IN THE KUKSOKWIM
DELTA...HOWEVER CONDITIONS ARE FAIRLY MARGINAL SO ADVISORIES ARE NOT
EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM SOUTH OF THE CHAIN
WILL ALSO EFFECT FROM CENTRAL AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS...AS WELL AS THE
PRIBILOFS BEGINNING TODAY...THEN TRANSITION TO THE USUAL COLD AIR
ADVECTION SNOW SHOWER REGIME ON THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
ONCE AGAIN THERE ARE NOT MANY CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM FORECAST SINCE
YESTERDAY. THE LAST OF THE ALEUTIAN LOWS WILL PASS ON
SATURDAY...AFTER WARDS THERE IS GOOD AGREEMENT THAT A DESCENDING
SIBERIAN RIDGE WILL PREVENT ANY FURTHER EASTERLY MOVING ALEUTIAN LOWS
ON SUNDAY. AS A RESULT...LOW PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN THE GULF OF
ALASKA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHILE ALEUTIAN LOWS WILL STRUGGLE TO
MAKE IT AS FAR EAST AS THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS.
