.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
IN THE UPPER LEVELS...A RIDGE IS PARKED OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA WITH A
CLOSED LOW TO THE SOUTHWEST OF IT ALONG EASTERN RUSSIA. THIS LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM IS SENDING WAVES OF ENERGY FROM THE NORTH TO
NORTHEASTERN PACIFIC. ONE LOW CENTER IS OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND
ANOTHER IS JUST SOUTH OF IT. AT THE SURFACE...THERE IS A WEAKENING
SURFACE FRONT ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. EAST OF
KODIAK...THERE IS A 980 MB LOW AND ANOTHER IS SOUTHEAST OF SAND
POINT. FURTHER WEST...A SURFACE LOW IS NORTH OF SHEMYA. THESE SURFACE
FEATURES ARE BRINGING LIGHT SNOW ACROSS SOUTH ALASKA AND THE ALEUTIAN
CHAIN. WITH A TIGHTER GRADIENT NORTH OF THE SURFACE LOW NEAR
KODIAK...NORTHERLY WINDS ARE GUSTY ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST OF
ALASKA AND INLAND.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE CURRENT WEATHER REGIME IS COMPLICATED WITH MULTIPLE WAVES SENT
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. MODELS HAVE SLIGHT VARIATIONS IN TIMING
AND PLACEMENT IN PRECIPITATION...HOWEVER THE UPPER LOW OFF OF RUSSIA
IS THE DOMINANT PATTERN THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AND THIS WILL BRING
PERIODS OF SNOW AND RAIN. THE PREFERRED MODELS IN THE SHORT TERM
WERE THE NAM AND...ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE BERING...A
COMBINATION OF THE GEM GLOBAL AND ECMWF.

THE COASTAL AREAS. THE NEXT FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN GULF
FRIDAY NIGHT.
SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
SNOW ALONG THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW NEAR KODIAK WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
BRISTOL BAY AND THE ALASKA PENINSULA TODAY. SNOW WILL MOVE NORTH
TONIGHT INTO THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY AND DELTA. MOST OF THE SNOW WILL
TAPER OFF FRIDAY MORNING AS THE LOW MOVES FURTHER EAST. THE NEXT
FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE ALASKA PENINSULA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD SNOW NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EARLY PART
OF THE WEEKEND.
ALEUTIANS/BERING SEA...
WEAK LOW PRESSURE WILL BRING PERIODS OF SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE
WESTERN AND CENTRAL ALEUTIANS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.
