NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 143 PM AKDT SUN MAR 24 2013 .DISCUSSION... MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT INITIALLY BUT THEN DIVERGE THEREAFTER. THE NAM HOLD THE PRECIPITATION IN MUCH LONGER OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR WHILE THE GFS MOVES IT WESTWARD TO FOLLOW THE COLDEST AIR...PRESUMABLE TO BE WITH THE STRONGEST OVERRUNNING WILL OCCUR. THE ECMWF IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE NAM AND THE GFS. THINKING IS THAT THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE NEAREST TO WHERE THE STEEPEST THERMAL GRADIENT WILL BE. WHICH MEANS THAT THE GFS MIGHT BE MORE CORRECT WITH THE PRECIPITATION. THE ECMWF MAY BE A TAD WARMER THAN THE GFS AT THE END OF THE MID RANGE RUN BECAUSE THE GFS COOLS NORTHERN ALASKA BACK DOWN NEXT WEEKEND. WOULD EXPECT THAT MOST OF THE WEEK WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY THAN SUN AS THE TRANSITION ZONES CONTINUE TO CHANGE AND WOBBLE BACK AND FORTH. SECOND COLD AIR MASS SITTING OVER THE WEST COAST AND WORKING ITS WAY DOWN TO THE WEST CENTRAL PORTION OF THE STATE. THE COLDEST AIR WILL END UP FROM ABOUT THE MIDDLE TANANA VALLEY WESTWARD BY TUE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL KEEP LIGHT SNOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH AT LEAST THEN. WINDS ON THE WEST COAST AND IN PARTICULAR THROUGH THE BERING STRAIT COAST WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE TONIGHT. THIS MAY FLIRT WITH WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA LATER TONIGHT.
