Area forecast discussion, Sep 24, 12:59 PM AKDT, 4 hours 35 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 1259 PM AKDT TUE SEP 24 2013 .DISCUSSION... MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH ABOUT 48 HOURS AND THEN BEGIN TO SPREAD THEREAFTER. AL MODELS CARRY THROUGH THE BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE STATE. THIS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE A DECENT DOWN SLOPE OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR. HOWEVER THE GFS IS PAINTING A LARGE AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR. THE ECMWF IS POURING ON THE PRECIPITATION FROM ESSENTIALLY THE MIDDLE TANANA VALLEY WESTWARD AND NORTHWARD. THE NAM IS MORE REALISTIC IN THE PRECIPITATION COVERAGE WITH GIVING THE MIDDLE TANANA VALLEY PRECIPITATION ON THE FRONT END OF THE EVENT. THEN DOWN SLOPE IT OUT AFTER THAT. SO PREFER THE NAM AT THIS POINT. THE NAM IS WEAKER THAN THE GFS OR THE ECMWF WITH THE WINDS IN THE ALASKA RANGE AREAS. HENCE THE REASON THAT THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS NOT BEN CONVERTED TO A WARNING. ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS SEEM FAIRLY CERTAIN AT THIS POINT FOR ZONES 223...225 AND 227 AND THEN 226 AS WELL WHERE THE WATCH REMAINS. THE MOISTURE IS FAIRLY FAST MOVING SO DO NOT EXPECT HUGE AMOUNTS. IT WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY RAIN SOUTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE EAST OF ZONE 217 AND SNOW FROM ZONE 217 AND EASTWARD ALONG THE BROOKS RANGE AREA. THE LOW THAT WILL BE SPREADING THE MOISTURE EASTWARD WILL TAKE A SOUTHERLY ROUTE AND SLIDE FROM BRISTOL BAY TO THE GULF OF ALASKA. THIS WILL SEND THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION SOUTH OF THE ALASKA RANGE. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW NORTHEAST OF WRANGEL ISLAND WILL CONTINUE TO SPIN COLDER AIR TO THE NORTHWEST ARCTIC COAST THROUGH THURSDAY AND THEN GET A RESURGENCE OVER THE WEEKEND WITH SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS FROM FRI THROUGH THE WEEKEND. COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE && .HYDROLOGY...NONE. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... HIGH WIND WATCH FOR AKZ226. WIND ADVISORY FOR AKZ223-AKZ225-AKZ227.
