SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKDT MON SEP 2 2013

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

MASSIVE QUASI-STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDS FROM EASTERN
RUSSIA TO WESTERN AK THIS MORNING...WITH A CUTOFF LOW JUST NORTH OF
DUTCH HARBOR. STRONG UPPER RIDGES ARE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND THE
KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERTICALLY STACKED WITH A
BROAD AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL BERING AND RIDGES
OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AND KAMCHATKA. A DECAYING WEATHER FRONT IS
SPREADING RAIN UP COOK INLET AND THE KENAI PENINSULA...WHILE A COLD
FRONT IS BRINGING RAIN AND STRONG WIND TO THE AK PEN AND WESTERN AK.
A COUPLE OF WAVES MOVING AROUND THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE BERING LOW
WILL BECOME THE NEXT PLAYERS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN BRINGING A SERIES OF FRONTS
ACROSS THE AKPEN INTO THE GULF OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE INITIAL
FRONT WILL PUSH INTO COOK INLET AND SOUTH CENTRAL TODAY AND THEN
STALL OVER PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE NORTH GULF COAST TONIGHT. THE
SECOND FRONT...CURRENTLY OVER THE AKPEN AND WESTERN AK...WILL MOVE
INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TONIGHT AND MERGE WITH THE INITIAL FRONT OVER THE
NORTHEAST GULF COAST TUE INTO WED. FINALLY...TWO WAVES MOVING AROUND
THE BERING LOW WILL DEVELOP INTO FRONTS OVER THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS
AND AKPEN MON NIGHT...AND TUE INTO WED RESPECTIVELY. THE LAST FRONT
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY SOME COOLER AIR FOR WESTERN AK.

THE FORECAST UTILIZES THE GFS WITH SOME EC IN THE SHORT TERM...AND
THEN WPC GUIDANCE FOR THE EXTENDED.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

IN THE WEST...RAIN WILL WRAP AROUND THE BERING LOW AND SPREAD ACROSS
THE ALEUTIANS...DRYING FROM THE WEST THROUGH TUE AS THE LOW MOVES
INLAND. COLD ADVECTION SHOWERS WILL THEN REACH THE CHAIN ON NORTHWEST
FLOW WED AND THU.

FOR SOUTHWEST AK...SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL GENERALLY PERSIST THROUGH
THU. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL ACCOMPANY FRONTS TODAY...AND TONIGHT INTO
WED AS THEY MOVE ONSHORE.

SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AK RANGE...RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION
TODAY...WITH WINDY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE CHANNELED TERRAIN OF
TURNAGAIN ARM DIMINISHING TODAY. WIND WILL INCREASE THROUGH TURNAGAIN
ARM TO WARNING LEVELS TONIGHT AS THE SECOND FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
AREA....ACCOMPANIED BY ANOTHER SHOT OF RAIN AS WELL. SOME DECREASE IN
PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR ON TUE BETWEEN SYSTEMS...AND THEN MORE RAIN
WILL ARRIVE WITH THE THIRD FRONT TUE NIGHT. FINALLY THE LAST ROUND OF
RAIN ARRIVES WED INTO THU WITH THE FOURTH FRONT.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...

ANOTHER SERIES OF FRONTS WILL BRING RAIN TO THE BERING AND SOUTHWEST
AK THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOUTHEAST OF THE AK RANGE WILL HAVE BRIEF
DRYING LATER ON THU BEFORE A SERIES OF RAIN EVENTS RESUMES INTO THE
WEEKEND.
