SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
136 PM AKDT MON MAR 24 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REMAINS
CENTERED OVER NORTHERN ALASKA WITH ITS INFLUENCE EXTENDING OVER THE
ENTIRE MAINLAND PART OF THE STATE. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS OVER
THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA WITH A WEATHER FRONT IN THE EASTERN BERING
SEA. THE FRONT IS RAPIDLY WEAKENING AS IT ERODES ALONG THE RIDGE.
THIS WILL ALLOW A SURFACE HIGH TO BUILD OVER THE EASTERN BERING
SEA AND WESTERN ALASKA TOMORROW. CURRENTLY THE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER THE YUKON AND EXTENDS OVER MOST OF
MAINLAND ALASKA.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...AS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH A BLOCKING PATTERN THE
MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT AND ARE INITIALIZING WELL. ONE
SMALL DIFFERENCE FROM YESTERDAY PERTAINS TO A WEAK SHORT WAVE THAT
WILL MOVE INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA FROM THE SOUTH TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE EMCWF AND GFS BOTH NOW INDICATE THERE COULD BE
SOME MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS AS FAR NORTH AS THE KENAI
PENINSULA. THE NAM HAS THE WAVE A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH THAN
YESTERDAY BUT STILL KEEPS THE CLOUDS FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE KENAI
PENINSULA.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL/SOUTHWEST ALASKA...THE CLEAR AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL
PERSIST THROUGH THE MOST OF THE WEEK. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
LARGE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE RANGES WITH NEAR NORMAL HIGH
TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL LOW TEMPERATURES. THE EXCEPTION ON
THE LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE THROUGH CHANNELED TERRAIN WHERE GUSTY
WINDS WILL KEEP AN INVERSION FROM DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...THE WEATHER FRONT OVER THE EASTERN BERING
SEA IN ERODING AND DISSIPATING IN PLACE. THIS WILL END THE
PRECIPITATION OVER THE ALASKA PENINSULA. A SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS TONIGHT INTO
TOMORROW. THIS WILL LIKELY BRING SOME RAIN AND SNOW TO THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT LAST LONG.
SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST IN THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS.
&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE PERSISTENT PATTERN SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AND PERHAPS
LONGER. ALTHOUGH MODELS ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE RIDGE
OVER THE MAINLAND BREAKING NEXT WEEK...MODELS TEND TO TRY TO
BREAK DOWN BLOCKING PATTERNS TOO QUICKLY. THEREFORE WE STILL WANT
TO STICK WITH THE RIDGE MAINTAINING ITS BLOCK OVER THE STATE UNTIL
A PATTERN CHANGE BECOMES CLEAR. THIS WILL KEEP THE MAIN ACTIVE
WEATHER REGION OVER THE WESTERN BERING...ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
ALEUTIAN CHAIN...AND ALONG OR SOUTH OF THE SOUTHERN MAINLAND COAST
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
&&

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...GALE 127.
FIRE WEATHER...NONE.
