NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
105 PM AKDT SUN OCT 27 2013

.DISCUSSION...

MODELS...GOOD CONSENSUS IN THE MODELS ON THE OVERALL PATTERN AND
DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOW COMING OUT OF THE NORTH PACIFIC LATER TODAY
THAT MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA.

ALOFT...AT 500 HPA...LONG WAVE TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE EASTERN
BERING SEA WITH A BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
STATE. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE UP THE BACK SIDE OF THE
RIDGE THROUGH LATE MONDAY. THE RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND BUT HAS GETS A LITTLE REINFORCEMENT ON TUESDAY
MORNING BEFORE BREAKING DOWN TO A MORE ZONAL...ACTIVE...PATTERN
THROUGH FRIDAY.

SURFACE...MODELS ARE A LITTLE SLOW WITH THE FIRST WAVE OF
PRECIPITATION SO WILL BRING THE NEXT WAVE IN A LITTLE EARLIER.
VERY STRONG GRADIENT OVER THE ALASKA RANGE STRENGTHENS EVEN MORE
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN ALASKA RANGE. DEVELOPING LOW
FROM THE NORTH MOVES TO THE YUKON DELTA OVERNIGHT...AND TO THE
KOBUK VALLEY BY LATE MONDAY. A SECOND LOW WILL DEVELOP SOUTH OF
BARTER ISLAND MONDAY NIGHT AND THE LOW COMPLEX WILL SLOWLY MOVE TO
THE NORTHEAST. BEHIND THE LOW COMPLEX WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD IN AS A LOW FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC MOVES EAST ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA.

NORTH SLOPE...QUIET TODAY...BUT AS THE LOW COMPLEX DEVELOPS AND
SPREADS MOISTURE NORTH ACROSS THE BROOKS RANGE OVERRUNNING THE
COLD ARCTIC AIR SNOW WILL BEGIN LATE MONDAY WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL
EXPECTED IN THE EASTER BROOKS RANGE AND ARCTIC COAST. WINDS
GENERALLY LIGHT FOR THE ARCTIC COAST...BUT LOOK FOR STRONG WINDS
DEVELOPING FROM DEADHORSE EAST ON TUESDAY AS THE LOW COMPLEX
EXITS THE STATE NEAR DEMARCATION POINT.

WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR...SHOWERS DURING THE DAY TODAY
WILL BE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH THE SNOW PRIMARILY NORTH OF
THE SEWARD PENINSULA. A SHORT BREAK THIS EVENING IN THE
PRECIPITATION BEFORE IT MOVES BACK OVER THE AREA TONIGHT REMAINING
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING IN MOST AREAS BEFORE TAPERING OFF.
PREDOMINATELY IT WILL BE RAIN HOWEVER LOOK FOR IT TO CHANGE TO SNOW
OVERNIGHT MONDAY AS COLD AIR CREEPS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. A FEW
AREAS NORTH OF GALENA COULD SEE SOME FREEZING RAIN...BUT AT THIS
TIME IT LOOKS LIKE ONLY TRACE AMOUNTS AND IT MAY BE MIXED IN WITH
SNOW. RAINFALL AMOUNTS DO NOT LOOK IMPRESSIVE BUT SOME OF THE
SOUTHERN AREAS COULD SEE 0.50 INCH THROUGH TUESDAY. EXPECT WINDS
TO LULL TONIGHT THEN JUMP UP A LITTLE TOMORROW AS THE LOW MAKES
ITS WAY NORTH TO THE KOBUK. HIGH WIND WARNING HAS ENDED IN THE
WESTERN ALASKA RANGE BUT WILL KEEP AN ADVISORY UP THROUGH TONIGHT
AS WINDS IN PASSES WILL BE GUSTING TO AROUND 40 MPH.

INTERIOR...BIGGEST ISSUE WILL BE THE WINDS IN ALASKA RANGE
PASSES...WARNINGS FOR THE ALASKA RANGE CONTINUE OR ARE BEING
ISSUED AND MAX GUSTS COULD BE AS HIGH 85 MPH. WITH THE STRONGEST
WINDS BEING IN THE VICINITY OF THE RICHARDSON HIGHWAY...LOOK FOR
SOME OF THOSE WINDS TO MAKE IT INTO THE UPPER TANANA VALLEY SO
WILL ISSUE AN ADVISORY FOR AREAS WEST OF TOK FRO WINDS GUSTING TO
45 MPH. WINDS COME DOWN BY LATE MONDAY OVER MOST OF THE AREA...BUT
STRONG WINDS MAY CONTINUE IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST ALASKA RANGE UNTIL
TUESDAY MORNING. ISOLATED SHOWERS TODAY FROM FAIRBANKS SOUTH WITH
MANY AREAS BEING RAIN SHADOWED OUT. RAINFALL AMOUNTS GENERALLY
LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH...EXCEPT ALONG THE SOUTH SLOPES OF
THE BROOKS RANGE WHICH COULD SEE ANYWHERE FROM 0.50 TO 1.00 INCH
OF RAIN. THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE ALASKA RANGE WILL ALSO SEE SOME
HEAVY RAINFALL/SNOWFALL TONIGHT DEPENDING ON ELEVATION. AREAS TO
THE NORTH AND WEST OF FAIRBANKS WILL SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH
SOME PERIODS OF SHOWERS OVERNIGHT CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING AND TAPERING OFF FROM THE WEST THROUGH LATE TUESDAY.
