NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
323 AM AKDT FRI SEP 12 2014

.DISCUSSION...

MODELS...CONTINUE TO INITIALIZED WELL AND SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT EVEN
OUT INTO THE EXTENDED PERIODS.

ALOFT...AT 500 HPA...527 DAM CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE OVER THE
PRIBILOF ISLANDS BY MID DAY FRIDAY. SHORT WAVE EXTENDS FROM LOW
SOUTHEAST...THEN SOUTH OVER 160W...AND WILL MOVE OVER THE
NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY COAST THEN SOUTH OVER 155W BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. THE SHORTWAVE LOSES ITS ENERGY AS IT MOVE UP THE WEST
SIDE OF THE RIDGE AND DISSIPATES TONIGHT. A SECOND SHORTWAVE WILL
LIE FROM OVER THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS THEN SOUTH OVER 160W SATURDAY
MORNING AND MOVE TO THE NORTHERN BRISTOL BAY COAST THEN SOUTHEAST
AND SOUTH OVER 150W BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...THE SOUTHERN HALF
DISSIPATES AS THE NORTHERN PART OF THE SHORTWAVE MOVES NORTH OVER
THE ARCTIC COAST BY SUNDAY MORNING. RIDGING REMAINS OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE AND THE ARCTIC AS IT EXTENDS FROM A 585
DAM HIGH IN THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC. THE RIDGE WILL BE PUSHED SLOWLY
TO THE EAST AND OFFSHORE IN THE ARCTIC THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AT 850
HPA...ZERO ISOTHERM LIES FROM 73N 170W TO 70N 137W AND WILL REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

SURFACE...A 984MB LOW IN THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS IS ABSORBING THE
REMNANTS OF EXTRA TROPICAL CYCLONE FENGSHEN THIS MORNING AND WILL
DEEPEN TO 976MB. WARM FRONT WILL WORK INTO SOUTHWEST MAINLAND AND
GULF COAST THIS MORNING AS EVERYTHING PUSHES NORTH. GAP FLOW WINDS
CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE ALASKA RANGE AS THE LOW SLIDES
EAST AND THE FRONT PUSHES NORTH. CHINOOK FLOW NORTH OF THE ALASKA
RANGE WILL PERSIST INTO SUNDAY. A 1024MB HIGH NEAR 73N 155W IN THE
ARCTIC WILL SLOWLY DRIFT NORTH AND WEAKEN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
GRADIENT OVER THE ARCTIC COAST AND NEAR SHORE WATERS WILL TIGHTEN
UP A LITTLE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND KEEP THINGS ON THE BREEZY
SIDE.

ARCTIC COAST AND PLAIN...10 TO 25 MPH WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20
TO 35 MPH FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND FROM THE
EAST AND NORTHEAST AS THE HIGH OFFSHORE SLIDES NORTH. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH A LITTLE MONDAY OVER THE COAST AS THE GRADIENT SLIDES
OVER THE OFFSHORE AREAS. THE MODIS IFR PROB 1KM AK AT 120605Z HAS
A GOOD PATCH OF PROBABLE IFR OVER THE NORTHEAST ARCTIC COAST...THE
ARCTIC PLAIN...AND THE NORTHWEST OFFSHORE MARINE AREA.
OBSERVATIONS AND SHIP REPORTS CONFIRM THAT LOW CEILINGS ARE THE
PRIMARY ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY NO RECENT VIIRS FOG PRODUCT TO USE TO
CONFIRM. ON THE MODIS 11 UM BT AT 120605Z A AREA OF STRATUS
EXTENDS 73N 162W INTO THE ARCTIC PLAIN AND EAST TO MACKENZIE BAY.
STRATUS WILL PERSIST IN THOSE AREAS WITH SOME PATCHY FOG.
TEMPERATURES MAY RISE A DEGREE OR TWO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS...BUT FOR THE MOST PART NOT MUCH CHANGE.

WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR...LOW IS DIGGING A LITTLE FURTHER
SOUTH INTO BRISTOL BAY SO STRONGEST WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTH AND
WEST OF NORTON SOUND...BUT WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN AND
AROUND NORTON SOUND. SOME MODERATE SURF REMAINS A POSSIBILITY ON
THE NORTH SHORE OF ST LAWRENCE ISLAND THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
A LITTLE WARMER OVER THE AREA AS SOUTH FLOW PUSHES WARM AIR NORTH.
RAIN SPREADING OVER THE LOWER YUKON DELTA LATER THIS MORNING..THEN
OVER NORTON SOUND THIS EVENING...AND CONTINUE NORTH OVER KOTZEBUE
SOUND AND THE CHUKCHI SEA BY SATURDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
GENERALLY LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH WITH THE HEAVIES AMOUNTS IN THE
LOWER YUKON DELTA...ALONG THE SOUTHERN SEWARD PENINSULA...AND ON
ST LAWRENCE ISLAND. THE MIDDLE YUKON...KOBUK...AND NOATAK VALLEYS
CAN EXPECT RAINFALL AMOUNTS GENERALLY LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN
INCH.

INTERIOR...CHINOOK FLOW ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE WITH GAP WINDS
GUSTING TO AROUND 50 MPH THIS MORNING. EXPECT WINDS TO CONTINUE
TO INCREASE TODAY NEAR PASSES AND IN THE DELTA JUNCTION AREA.
STRONGEST GRADIENT APPEARS TO BE IN Z226 SO WILL ADD WARNING FOR
THEM BEGINNING THIS EVENING. WILL CONTINUE THE WATCHES FOR Z225
BUT LOOKS LESS LIKELY AT THIS TIME THAT WARNING WINDS WILL OCCUR.
STILL NOT EXPECTING ANY RAIN SOUTH OF THE YUKON RIVER TODAY OR
SATURDAY...BUT A FEW SPRINKLES MAY FALL. EXPECT SOME LIGHT RAIN
OVER THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE BROOKS RANGE WITH LITTLE
ACCUMULATION. A PATCH OF SHOWERS WILL MOVE OVER THE FORTYMILE
COUNTRY...BUT MOST AREAS CAN EXPECT LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN INCH
OF RAIN. NEARING RECORD TERRITORY IN THE INTERIOR AS HIGHS WILL
REACH INTO THE LOW 70S FOR SOME AREAS TODAY AND TOMORROW. STILL
LOOKING AT SLOW COOLING TREND NEXT WEEK...BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE A
SURPRISE IT IS SEPTEMBER. OVERNIGHT LOWS IN MOST AREAS WILL BE IN
THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S.

&&

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...NONE.

&&

FIRE WEATHER...STRONG WINDS AND RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS
EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND AROUND DELTA JUNCTION AND SOUTH OVER
THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ALASKA RANGE. DO NOT EXPECT RELATIVE HUMIDITY
TO GET MUCH BELOW 40 PERCENT.

&&
