SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
500 AM AKST TUE FEB 26 2013

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
AN UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHERN BERING SEA IS MEANDERING AROUND
EASTERN SIBERIA THIS MORNING...WHILE A MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN
CONTINUES ACROSS THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND SOUTHERN MAINLAND. A
COMPLEX LOW IS SPINNING AROUND THE GULF OF ALASKA AND NORTH
PACIFIC...WHILE ANOTHER LOW IS SOUTH OF THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS AND
MOVING EASTWARD. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IS FALLING OVER KODIAK
ISLAND...AND AN AREA OF SNOW IS VERY SLOWLY MOVING WESTWARD ACROSS
THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA. ALONG THE GULF COAST...WINDS WITHIN A BARRIER
JET ARE BLOWING TO 55 KT.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST 30 TO 36 HOURS...ALTHOUGH
THEY ARE ALL STRUGGLING QUITE A BIT WITH THE COMPLEX LOW IN THE GULF
OF ALASKA. THE NAM IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE FOR SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA
DURING THE FIRST 30 HOURS OR SO FOR ITS DETAILS. OTHERWISE...A BLEND
OF THE GFS AND ECMWF WAS USED...WITH SOME GEMGLOBAL MIXED IN AS WELL
FOR THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND ALEUTIANS.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
THIS AREA WILL GENERALLY SEE MORE OF WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING
THROUGH TONIGHT...AS THINGS WILL REMAIN PRETTY STEADY STATE OVERALL
DURING THIS TIME. THE LOWS WITHIN THE COMPLEX LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
ROTATE AROUND EACH OTHER. A DOWN-INLET GRADIENT WILL KEEP GUSTY WINDS
THROUGH TURNAGAIN ARM AND ALONG THE WESTERN KENAI PENINSULA COAST
INTO WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE GRADIENT WEAKENS. OTHER THAN ALONG THE GULF
COAST AND ON KODIAK ISLAND...MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN DRY OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
MAIN CONCERNS IN THIS AREA ARE MAINLY ASSOCIATED WITH A WAVE THAT
WILL BE MOVING WEST/NORTHWEST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST MAINLAND TODAY AND
THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY THROUGH THIS AREA...AND
TEMPERATURES REMAIN WELL BELOW FREEZING (BELOW ZERO ACROSS THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA). WITH THAT...WE EXPECT THAT AS SNOW RETURNS TO THESE
AREAS WE WILL AGAIN SEE VISIBILITIES DROP BELOW ONE MILE. CONFIDENCE
IS HIGHEST IN THIS ACROSS THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA...SO WE WILL ISSUE A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ALONG WITH THE CONTINUED WIND CHILL ADVISORY.
CONFIDENCE IS LOWER ACROSS BRISTOL BAY THAT VISIBILITIES WILL BE
CONSISTENTLY ONE HALF MILE SO WE WILL KEEP A MENTION OF LOWER
VISIBILITIES IN THE FORECAST.

THE POSSIBILITY OF THE PRIBILOFS SEEING BLIZZARD CONDITIONS TONIGHT
AND WEDNESDAY IS STILL UNCERTAIN. IT SEEMS THE BEST POSSIBILITY WOULD
BE AT SAINT GEORGE ISLAND WHERE THERE IS SOME OPEN WATER AROUND THE
ISLAND RATHER THAN SAINT PAUL ISLAND WHERE ICE SURROUNDS THE ISLAND.
WITH THIS MUCH UNCERTAINTY REMAINING...WE WILL CONTINUE THE BLIZZARD
WATCH AS IS WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST WITH UPPER LOWS MOVING EAST ALONG THE
ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THROUGH THE WEEK...THE
STRONG LOW THAT HAS MOVED INTO THE CHUKCHI SEA WILL GRADUALLY MOVE
TOWARD THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
