.DISCUSSION...
MODELS SIMILAR IN SOLUTIONS WITH THE NAM BEING THE THE OUTLIER.
HOWEVER...THE NAM PRECIPITATION FIELD IS APPEARING MORE IN LINE
WITH CURRENT CONDITIONS. ALTHOUGH THE NAM HAS BEEN INCONSISTENT
AND JUST FLAT OUT WRONG FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS ON MANY OF ITS
RUNS...IT DOES WARRANT A HARD LOOK.

SEVERAL SHORT WAVES MOVING UP THE WEST COAST WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN AND RAIN UP TONIGHT AND THEN SHOULD TURN
OVER TO ALL SNOW ON TUE AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CONTINUE AS THE NEXT
SHORT WAVE MOVES UP TUE NIGHT AND SPREADS SNOW OVER THE ENTIRE
WEST COAST ZONES FROM THE SEWARD PENINSULA SOUTHWARD.

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER ALL OF ALASKA WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE
THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEK. A SHORT WAVE IS SUGGESTED TO
MOVE THROUGH THE RIDGE TO NEAR BETTLES THU MORNING.

WINDS THROUGH THE ALASKA RANGE PASSES WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. THE ARCTIC SLOPE WINDS WILL INCREASE
LATER TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUE.
