.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THE DOMINANT FEATURES ON THE WEATHER MAP ARE A PAIR OF LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS. ONE LIES OVER THE FAR EASTERN GULF DRIFTING EAST TOWARD THE
PANHANDLE WHILE SLOWLY DISSIPATING. THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN HELPING TO
PULL OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN FROM THE INTERIOR OUT
INTO THE GULF...AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO WIND DOWN THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY.
THE SECOND LOW IS THE MONSTER STORM OUT IN THE WESTERN BERING WHICH
IS AT OR NEAR PEAK STRENGTH. THIS LOW WILL MOVE NORTH AND INLAND OVER
EASTERN RUSSIA AND THEN BECOME STATIONARY AND SLOWLY WEAKEN OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THE ASSOCIATED FRONT WITH THIS STORM WILL PUSH EAST
THROUGH THE PRIBILOFS AND EASTERN ALEUTIANS EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN
MOVE INLAND ALONG THE SOUTHWEST COAST TONIGHT. A TRIPLE POINT LOW
WILL FORM NEAR OR JUST EAST OF KODIAK THURSDAY MORNING AND THEN MOVE
RAPIDLY EAST-SOUTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA.
BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES LIES AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE MOST OF
THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND. THIS FEATURE WILL HELP BRING CLEAR SKIES AND
PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE TO MOST OF SOUTHCENTRAL TODAY...AND AS IT MOVES
EAST WILL HELP SHUT OFF THE FORCED OUTFLOW WINDS THROUGH CHANNELED
TERRAIN.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE FORECAST AND GRIDS WAS TO LOWER
PRECIPITATION CHANCES FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT FROM ANCHORAGE
NORTH AS IT NOW APPEARS THESE AREAS WILL SEE LITTLE IF ANY
PRECIPITATION FROM THE TRIPLE POINT LOW PROGGED TO FORM NOW MUCH
FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE NAM AND GFS HAD BEEN SHOWING THE PREVIOUS
NIGHT. THE RESULT WILL BE PRECIPITATION CONFINED MAINLY TO POINTS
SOUTH OF ANCHORAGE ON THE KENAI PENINSULA. THUS...IT APPEARS
ANCHORAGE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO WAIT FOR ITS FIRST OFFICIAL
SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON.
OTHERWISE...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT. THE NAM AND GFS WERE
PREFERRED ON THE EAST SIDE AND THE GFS ON THE WEST SIDE IN THE SHORT
TERM...THEN AS SIGNIFICANT MODEL DISCREPANCIES DEVELOP TOWARD THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK DECIDED TO STICK CLOSE TO THE 00Z
EUROPEAN MODEL RUN.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...
AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH TODAY...GUSTY OFFSHORE WINDS THROUGH
CHANNELED TERRAIN BLOWING TOWARDS THE GULF WILL WIND DOWN THROUGH THE
DAY TODAY. SUNNY SKIES SHOULD PREDOMINATE. CLOUDS WILL THICKEN FROM
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST TONIGHT IN THE COOK INLET REGION...WITH RAIN
AFFECTING KODIAK BY THIS EVENING AND A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN TOWARDS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE KENAI PENINSULA DEVELOPING BY MIDNIGHT.
CLOUDS LIKELY LINGER OVER MOST OF THE REGION THURSDAY INTO EARLY
FRIDAY UNTIL UPPER TROUGH PASSAGE.
SOUTHWEST...
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO THICKEN...WITH PRECIPITATION DEVELOPING
MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW WITH SOME RAIN THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT
FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. TOWARD BRISTOL BAY THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT AS WARM AIR CONTINUES TO INCREASE ABOVE FREEZING JUST ABOVE
THE SURFACE AND COLD AIR REMAINS TRAPPED AT THE SURFACE...FREEZING
RAIN WILL BE LIKELY. THE OTHER CONCERN ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND
WILL BE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL FLOODING WITH AN ANTICIPATED
STORM SURGE. PLEASE SEE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING STATEMENT FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.
BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS/AKPEN...
HIGH WINDS SHOULD CLEAR THE PRIBILOFS AND UNALASKA AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH STRONG WINDS CONTINUING AS THE WEAKENING FRONT MOVES
INTO THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND THIS EVENING. STORM FORCE WINDS BEHIND
THE FRONT WILL WIND DOWN TO GALES THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL HELP
KEEP SEAS ON THE ROUGH SIDE FOR THOSE WORKING AND TRAVELING ON THE
BERING SEA THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
.LONG TERM FORECAST...
MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A LOW DEVELOPING AND MOVING INTO THE
WESTERN ALEUTIANS FRIDAY WITH WINDS AS HIGH AS STORM FORCE. THIS
SYSTEM WILL THEN TRAVEL EAST ACROSS THE BERING TOWARD SOUTHERN
ALASKA...PUSHING A RATHER PROGRESSIVE YET FAIRLY STRONG COLD FRONT
WITH IT. BY LATE SUNDAY OR EARLY MONDAY...MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO
SHOW THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BEGINNING TO STALL OVER SOUTHCENTRAL WITH
A TRIPLE POINT LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OR IN PRINCE
WILLIAM SOUND. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR THERE WOULD BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
A SNOW EVENT ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHCENTRAL TOWARD SUNDAY.
CONFIDENCE IS LOW BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO BEAR WATCHING.
