Area forecast discussion, Jan 23, 2:45 PM AKST, 13 hours 9 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 245 PM AKST THU JAN 23 2014 .DISCUSSION... MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT OVERALL WITH THE SYNOPTIC FEATURES. THE PRECIPITATION FIELDS DIFFER TO EACH MODEL THOUGH. THE MAIN FEATURE TO DISCUSS IS THE MASSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ENCOMPASSING ALL OF ALASKA IS IMPACTING THE STATE MARKEDLY. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DIRECTING AN ENORMOUS SURGE OF WARM AIR FROM THE TROPICS NORTHWARD TO ALASKA. THIS IS CAUSING WIDESPREAD FREEZING RAIN OVER MUCH OF NORTHERN ALASKA AND JUST PLAIN RAIN SOUTH OF THE ALASKA RANGE. THIS HAS SEVERELY HAMPERED TRANSPORTATION IN NORTHERN ALASKA. THE NEXT SHOT OF MOISTURE WILL STREAM NORTHWARD OVER THE ALASKA RANGE TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH THE LOWER LEVEL WIND WILL INCREASE TONIGHT AND PROVIDE DOWNSLOPE WINDS...IT MAY NOT BE QUITE ENOUGH TO DRY OUT THE MOISTURE COMING OVER THE RANGE. THEREFORE ANOTHER BOUT OF FREEZING RAIN IS POSSIBLE AGAIN OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR AND WESTERN ZONES TONIGHT THROUGH FRI. WINDS OVER THE ARCTIC COAST WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY. THIS IS CAUSING LOW VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW. THE HIGH IN THE HIGH ARCTIC COMBINED WITH THE LOW IN THE BERING SEA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TIGHT GRADIENT ALONG THE ARCTIC COAST. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
