SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
200 PM AKST WED JAN 1 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
A STRONG ZONAL PACIFIC JET COMING OUT OF ASIA CONTINUES TO FLING
RAPID-FIRE NUMEROUS ATMOSPHERIC DISTURBANCES THROUGH THE NORTH
PACIFIC AND INTO THE ALASKAN DOMAIN. A RAPIDLY DECAYING VERTICALLY
STACKED LOW...THE MAJOR WEATHER-MAKER FROM YESTERDAY...IS NEAR
SOUTHERN COOK INLET AND IS BRINGING WIDESPREAD SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY
TO MOST OF SOUTHERN ALASKA. THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS AROUND UPPER
COOK INLET FROM KENAI TO THE MAT-SU WHERE SOUTHEAST DOWNSLOPING WINDS
ARE KEEPING CONDITIONS MOSTLY DRY FOR THE TIME BEING. OUT
WEST...ANOTHER POTENT UPPER LEVEL WAVE HAS DEVELOPED INTO A 972 MB
LOW OVER THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS AND IS TRACKING TO THE NORTHEAST
BRINGING RAIN AND STORM-FORCE WINDS.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
ALL MAJOR MODELS ARE IN VERY GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT ON THE
BIG-PICTURE EVOLUTION OF THE MAJOR FEATURES THROUGHOUT THE SHORT TERM
FORECAST PERIOD. THE NAM IS A BIT TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE OTHER
MODELS AS THE CURRENT LOW OVER THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS TRACKS TO NEAR
THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS TOMORROW MORNING...THEREFORE THE GFS/ECMWF IS
GIVEN A SLIGHT PREFERENCE AND WILL BE UTILIZED IN THE AFTERNOON
FORECAST.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...
SOUTHCENTRAL...THE ATMOSPHERIC LEFTOVERS OF THE BIG STORM FROM
YESTERDAY WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT. SOMETIME THIS EVENING THE REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE LOW WILL
PASS VERY NEAR ANCHORAGE...AT WHICH TIME DOWNSLOPING WILL END AND
MOST PLACES ARE LIKELY TO SEE A MINOR ACCUMULATION OF SNOW BEFORE
TAPERING OFF TOWARD MORNING. MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE
GULF WILL INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY WHICH WILL ALLOW PRECIP
AMOUNTS IN VALDEZ AND CORDOVA TO INCREASE WHILE THE EASTERN TURNAGAIN
ARM AREA WILL SEE INTENSITY DECREASE TO MORE INTERMITTENT SHOWERS. AT
THE SAME TIME...COOLER AIR WILL GRADUALLY FILTER BACK INTO THE AREA
FROM THE WEST...CHANGING RAIN BACK TO SNOW AT MOST LOCATIONS. ON
FRIDAY...A WEAK STORM SYSTEM WILL GIVE THE REGION A GLANCING BLOW
FROM THE NORTH WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING A RELATIVELY MINOR
ACCUMULATION OF SNOW.

SOUTHWEST MAINLAND...SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS EVENING...LINGERING LONGEST ALONG THE ALASKA AND ALEUTIAN
RANGES AS LIGHT WEST WINDS INTERACT WITH THE TERRAIN. AFTER A VERY
BRIEF BREAK DURING THE DAY THURSDAY THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE
NORTHERN BERING WILL SPREAD SNOW INTO THE AREA TOMORROW
EVENING...WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR MORE THAN A MINOR ACCUMULATION
OVER THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA (CLOSEST TO THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER). SNOW
MAY MIX WITH RAIN ALONG THE COAST...BUT SHOULD REMAIN SAFELY ALL-SNOW
INLAND. THE FORWARD SPEED OF THIS WEAKENING STORM WILL RESULT IN
SLIGHTLY STRONGER THAN NORMAL PRESSURE RISES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE
SYSTEM...THUS WILL BUMP UP WINDS MAINLY FOR THE COASTLINE ON THURSDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE DELTA.

BERING SEA AND ALEUTIANS...THE STORM NEAR ADAK HAS REACHED PEAK
INTENSITY AND WILL BEGIN TO STEADILY DECREASE AND TAKE A MORE
NORTHWARD TURN THIS EVENING. GALE FORCE WINDS AND RAIN WILL SPREAD
EASTWARD TOWARD DUTCH HARBOR AND THE PRIBILOFS OVERNIGHT AS A
FLEETING PERIOD OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS. A
WEATHER FRONT WILL MOVE BACK IN TO THE FAR WESTERN BERING AND
ALEUTIANS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH A NEW LOW FORMING ALONG THE
FRONT NEAR SHEMYA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE
NORMAL FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...AS RAIN REMAINS THE DOMINANT
PRECIPITATION TYPE.

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
GENERAL INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE ZONAL FLOW WILL BECOME A BIT MORE
AMPLIFIED BY THIS WEEKEND...WITH A LARGE AND COMPLEX LOW SETTING UP
SHOP OVER THE WESTERN BERING AND HIGHER HEIGHTS/RIDGING DEVELOPING IN
THE VICINITY OF THE ALCAN BORDER. THIS WEEK KEEP THE MOST UNSETTLED
WEATHER OVER THE BERING SEA...WHILE SOUTHERLY FLOW AND MORE TAME
WEATHER KEEPS CONDITIONS WARMER AND SLIGHTLY WETTER THAN NORMAL
ACROSS MUCH OF THE MAINLAND.
