Area forecast discussion, Jan 23, 2:46 PM AKST, 13 hours 14 minutes before

SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION ...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
246 PM AKST THU JAN 23 2014

CORRECTED TEXT

.ANALYSIS AND UPPER LEVELS...

THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED FLOW PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH A VERY IMPRESSIVE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OF MOISTURE ON
SATELLITE IMAGERY STREAMING NORTHWARD FROM 20N. THIS TYPE OF
PATTERN...WHILE NOT NECESSARILY ATYPICAL...IS RATHER UNPRECEDENTED IN
TERMS OF PERSISTENCE. THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC HIGH CONTINUES TO EXERT
ITS DOMINANCE...AND WILL ACTUALLY BUILD INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA THROUGH
THIS WEEKEND. A VERY LOW AMPLITUDE SHORTWAVE TROUGH/JET STREAK IS
RAPIDLY TRACKING NORTHWARD INTO INTERIOR ALASKA...WITH ANOTHER
SIMILAR FEATURE TAKING SHAPE NEAR 50N. A SHARP BAROCLINIC ZONE
REMAINS OVER THE BERING SEA...WITH A 975 HPA LOW CURRENTLY TRACKING
ALONG IT IN THE VICINITY OF UNIMAK PASS. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND
ASSOCIATED COASTAL JET REMAINS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. A
THE LOW DEVELOPING NEAR 50N WILL TRACK INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BRINGING ANOTHER PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN ALONG
THE COAST...WITH RAIN SHOWERS INLAND.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

THE MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT WITH THE LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC
PATTERN WELL INTO NEXT WEEK...AND ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THE SMALL SCALE DETAILS HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF
SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON A LOW AMPLITUDE WAVE TRACKING INTO
SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT. OVERALL...THE GFS AND ECMWF REPRESENT THE MOST
STABLE SOLUTIONS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION...SO THEY WILL BE THE
FAVORED GUIDANCE THROUGH THE BULK OF THE FORECAST...WITH SOME LOCAL
WRF UTILIZED THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST...

SOUTHCENTRAL...
THE MAIN STORY CONTINUES TO BE THE ANOMALOUSLY WARM AND WET
CONDITIONS. ANOTHER LOW MOVING INTO COOK INLET TONIGHT WILL SPREAD
MORE RAIN ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHCENTRAL...WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN
ALONG THE COAST...ESPECIALLY FROM PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND EASTWARD.
WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME LOCALIZED DOWNSLOPE SHADOWING INLAND...GIVEN
THE VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE AND GENERAL SOUTHERLY FLOW
ALOFT...INLAND LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY SEE PERIODS OF STEADY RAIN AS
WELL...ESPECIALLY OVERNIGHT. AS THE LOW TRACKS INLAND...BREEZY
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE ENTIRE ANCHORAGE BOWL FRIDAY
MORNING...BECOMING GUSTY AT TIMES. RAIN WILL LARGELY END DURING THE
MORNING HOURS ACROSS INLAND LOCATIONS...WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING THE
COPPER RIVER BASIN WEST OF GLENNALLEN. THE MOISTURE AXIS WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT BACK WESTWARD AGAIN FRIDAY EVENING...WITH MORE
RAINFALL OVERSPREADING INLAND LOCATIONS WEST OF PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND.
RAIN WILL COME TO AN END FROM EAST TO WEST FRIDAY MORNING...WITH HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE WARM AIR
ALOFT AND MOIST SURFACE LAYER...FOG AND LOW STRATUS WILL LIKELY
ACCOMPANY THE HIGH PRESSURE...ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY.

SOUTHWEST...
SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING ACROSS THE

NORTHEAST PACIFIC SOUTH OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE NET EFFECT WILL BE
INCREASED RIDGING OVER SOUTHERN ALASKA...WHICH WILL KEEP MOST OF

WARM AIR ALOFT WILL KEEP MOST LOCATIONS UNDER THE THREAT OF FOG AND
LOW STRATUS DURING THIS PERIOD. EVENTUALLY...THE DEEP NORTHEAST
