SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKST SUN JAN 26 2014
.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
THERE IS AN UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF ALASKA CENTERED SOUTH
OF THE ALASKA PENINSULA. AN ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEM IS SPINNING UP
OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF AND MOVING NORTHWEST. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE REMAINS ALONG THE CANADIAN WEST COAST EXTENDING INTO EASTERN
ALASKA. A LOW NEAR THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA IS SPINNING UP AND MOVING
TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. THERE IS A WEAK SHORT-WAVE RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN/CENTRAL ALEUTIANS.
.MODEL DISCUSSION...
THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH 60 HOURS
(TUESDAY AFTERNOON) THEN BEGIN TO DIVERGE. THE NAM QUICKLY BECOMES
AN OUTLIER AND WAS DISREGARDED. BEYOND 60 HOURS THE MODELS TAKE
BASICALLY TWO PATHS...WITH THE ECMWF AND GEM WEAKER AND MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH A LOW (MORE OF A WEAK FRONT) OVER THE ALASKA
PENINSULA AND THE GFS AND UKMET MORE AMPLIFIED WITH A LOW SOUTH OF
THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS.
.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
FOR SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA...SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT AS THE WEST
COAST RIDGE REASSERTS ITSELF OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA. THE SYSTEM
CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF WILL MOVE NORTH TONIGHT AND REACH
THE NORTH GULF COAST LATE MONDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE OVER THE AREA
INTO THE EVENING. THIS IS ANOTHER VERY WARM SYSTEM BUT DOES NOT
CONTAIN A STRONG MOISTURE TAP...AND THUS RAINFALL WILL GENERALLY BE
ON THE LIGHT SIDE WITH VERY LITTLE PRECIPITATION GETTING INLAND.
PRECIPITATION WILL THEN TAPER OFF TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE TO THE EAST AND NO STORM SYSTEMS OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA.
FOR SOUTHWEST ALASKA...A FRONTAL SYSTEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHERN
GULF LOW WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA TONIGHT. MOST OF THE RAIN
AND WINDS WILL BE ALONG THE BERING/BRISTOL BAY COAST WITH DRY
CONDITIONS IN THE KUSKOKWIM VALLEY. THE UPPER LOW WILL THEN MOVE
NORTH MONDAY NIGHT AND CROSS THE ALASKA PENINSULA TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE SOUTHWEST ALASKA MAINLAND TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
THE MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW WILL BE AFFECTED BY A MORE PROGRESSIVE
PATTERN TO THE WEST...AS THE KAMCHATKA LOW PUSHES NORTHEAST AND
OPENS UP WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT.
