Area forecast discussion, Mar 25, 1:41 PM AKDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
141 PM AKDT TUE MAR 25 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL BLOCKING RIDGE
REMAINS ENTRENCHED OVER THE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE. THERE IS
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW NEAR VANCOUVER ISLAND THAT HAD A WEAK SHORT
WAVE THAT MOVED THROUGH THE GULF TODAY. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL LOW IS
OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WITH A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING JUST
SOUTH OF IT IN THE JET STREAM. THIS IS THE LOW THAT WILL MOVE
INTO THE WESTERN BERING SEA LATE WEDNESDAY.
A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS MOVING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH IN
THE CENTRAL BERING SEA AND WILL EXIT THE AREA TONIGHT.
&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE
MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER
KAMCHATKA. THE MODELS ARE ALSO IN GOOD ALIGNMENT WITH THE SURFACE
LOW AND FRONT THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN BERING SEA LATE WEDNESDAY
AND THE WAY IT MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH FRIDAY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
A WEAK SHORT WAVE HAS ROTATED THROUGH THE GULF FROM EAST TO WEST
TODAY BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING BESIDES BRING IN A FEW HIGH
CLOUDS TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF SOUTH CENTRAL. OTHER THAN THAT
THERE WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WITH SOME GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS
THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL CONTINUE IN SOUTHWEST
ALASKA THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS WELL. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW AREAS OF
FOG IN THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA TODAY AND PATCHY FOG IS LIKELY AGAIN
OVERNIGHT.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
THE WEAKENING FRONT THAT HAS BEEN STATIONARY FOR A FEW DAYS IN THE
EASTERN BERING SEA IS ALMOST COMPLETELY DISSIPATED BUT THE
REMNANTS ARE STILL OVER PARTS OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. THE WEAK
SHORT WAVE IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA MAY BRING A FEW SNOW OR MIXED
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. THE SCATTERED SNOW
SHOWERS IN THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS WILL TURN TO RAIN AS THE NEXT LOW
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY. &&

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL DRY AND WITH
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. A SERIES OF
ALEUTIAN LOWS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS...BUT SENSIBLE
WEATHER FROM THESE LOWS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH EAST OF THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS. AREAS OF THE GULF COAST PRONE TO GAP WINDS WILL
LIKELY SEE PERIODS OF GUSTY WINDS DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT
OTHERWISE ANY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER WILL REMAIN WELL WEST OF THE
MAINLAND FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR MORE.
&&
