SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
321 PM AKDT WED MAY 21 2014

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING STRETCHES ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS INTO
THE NORTHERN BERING SEA. ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THIS RIDGE A
TROUGH IS MOVING OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA FROM THE NORTH. THIS TROUGH
BRINGS STRONGER WINDS WITH IT. OUT IN THE GULF A WEAK LOW PRESSURE
REMAINS THAT SHOULD DISSIPATE THIS EVENING.

&&

.MODEL DISCUSSION...
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM. IN THE MID TERM
THERE BEGINS TO BE DISAGREEMENT WITH A LOW MOVING CLOSER TO THE
WESTERN ALEUTIAN ISLANDS OVER THE WEEKEND FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND A
LOW MOVING TO THE SOUTH OF THE GULF. WITH THE LOW OUT WEST THE GEM
LOOKS TO BE FASTER THEN SLOWS DOWN WHILE THE GFS IS PROGRESSING
THINGS MORE SLOWLY. FOR THE LOW NEAR THE GULF THE NAM LOOKS TO BE
TOO FAR NORTH WHILE THE EC BEGINS TO TRACK FASTER THAN THE OTHERS
AND THE GEM PUSHES TO THE SOUTH MORE QUICKLY.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA...
THE LOW IN THE GULF IS QUICKLY FILLING AND PUSHING EAST WHICH WILL
KEEP SURFACE FLOW LIGHT OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE SOUTHCENTRAL.
WITH HIGHER PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST DIURNAL WIND
PATTERNS ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST LOCATIONS. HIGHER PRESSURE ALSO
WILL ALLOW AN INVERSION TO AGAIN FORM OVERNIGHT TONIGHT IN MOST
AREAS. THIS WILL LIKELY TRAP SOME OF THE SMOKE FROM FIRES AROUND
THE AREA. WITH WEAK WESTERLY FLOW EXPECTED INTO THE EVENING HOURS
ALONG THE WESTERN KENAI AND ANCHORAGE AREAS THIS WOULD KEEP MUCH
OF THE SMOKE PUSHED UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS. HOWEVER...AS THE
WINDS DIMINISH OVERNIGHT THE SMOKE COULD SPREAD WESTWARD. AS
TEMPERATURES RISE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY THE INVERSION WILL BREAK
AND ALLOW FOR MIXING. THIS WILL HELP DISPERSE SOME OF THE SMOKE.

MOVING INTO FRIDAY A TROUGH WILL PUSH THROUGH FROM THE NORTH
BRINGING A BRIEF SHOT OF STRONGER NORTHERLY WINDS ALONG COOK
INLET. FRIDAY EVENING A THERMAL TROUGH WILL SETUP TO THE NORTH
WHICH WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT THE WINDS TO A SOUTHERLY
DIRECTION...PRIMARILY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. OVERNIGHT FRIDAY
WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AGAIN BEFORE GOING SOUTH ON SATURDAY AS
TEMPERATURES RISE.

SOUTHWEST ALASKA...
WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE BERING SEA NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW
WILL CONTINUE OVER SOUTHWEST ALASKA INTO THE WEEKEND. ON THURSDAY
THIS WILL BRING DRIER CONDITIONS AND ALLOW FOR WARMER AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES AS WELL. EARLY ON THURSDAY A TROUGH WILL MOVE THROUGH
FROM THE NORTH WHICH WILL BRING STRONGER WINDS TO THE AREA THAT
WILL LAST INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE ALEUTIANS AND BERING SEA INTO THE
WEEKEND. THE HIGH WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION AWAY BUT
WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR FOG THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. FINALLY ON
SATURDAY A LOW WILL APPROACH THE WESTERN ALEUTIANS FROM THE SOUTH
BRINGING RAIN TO THE AREA.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST...
THE RIDGING THAT HAS BEEN SITTING OVER THE BERING WILL BREAK DOWN
EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL BRING A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN TO THE
STATE. THEN LOWS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE ALEUTIANS FROM THE WEST AND
BRING PRECIP TO THE ISLANDS AND SOUTHERN PARTS OF MAINLAND ALASKA.

&&

.AFC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
PUBLIC...NONE.
MARINE...NONE.
FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG WARNING...152 155 161.
