NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
618 AM AKDT WED MAY 21 2014

.DISCUSSION...
AN OLD WEATHER FRONT IS DISSIPATING ALONG A LINE FROM ABOUT
KAKTOVIK TO ANAKTUVUK PASS AND DIFFUSE SOUTHWEST THROUGH
ABOUT GALENA AND HOLY CROSS. A WEAK WARM FRONT FROM THE
CHUKCHI SEA MOVED THROUGH BARROW RECENTLY AND WILL MOVE
SOME FLURRIES AND MAYBE SOME FOG EAST INTO ZONES 203 AND 204
WITHOUT MUCH IMPACT WEST OF BARROW. THE COLD FRONT COMING IN THIS
AFTERNOON IS MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE MEASURABLE SNOW...FROM ABOUT
WAINWRIGHT EAST. THE COLD FRONT WILL MAKE IT SOUTH TO THE BROOKS
RANGE...BUT WILL NOT BE COMPARABLE TO THE ONE OVER THE WEEKEND.
IT WILL PROBABLY DESTABILIZE THINGS OVER THE INTERIOR ON
THURSDAY...AT LEAST A BIT. THESE SHORT WAVES PROVIDE SOME
VARIETY TO OUR WEATHER WITHOUT CHANGING THE OVERALL PATTERN.
THE LONG WAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER EASTERN
MAINLAND ALASKA THROUGH FRIDAY.

THE MODELS HAVE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MOVING OVER THE ARCTIC
COAST FROM BARROW EAST THURSDAY NIGHT.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
EXPECT GUSTY WINDS ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN INTERIOR. THERE IS
SOME CONCERN FOR NEAR RED FLAG CONDITIONS WITHIN FIRE WEATHER
ZONES 219 AND 220 WITH WIND GUSTS OF 20 MPH AND MINIMUM RH VALUES
AS LOW AS 25 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
FLOOD ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING FOR THE
KUPARUK RIVER NEAR KUPARUK AND THE COLLEVILLE RIVER ON THE DELTA.
AS OF THIS MORNING AT 8 AM OBSERVERS AT KUPARUK STATED THAT
NOTHING HAS CHANGED WITH THE WATER LEVELS. REPORTS FROM YESTERDAY
STATED THAT THE WATER HAD FLOODED PORTIONS OF THE APPROACH TO THE
KUPARUK RIVER BRIDGE AND THE ROAD WAS ONLY OPEN TO ONE LANE. ON
THE COLLEVILLE RIVER THE COMBINATION OF SNOWMELT AND ICE IS
CAUSING MINOR FLOODING ON THE DELTA WITH NO CHANGES REPORTED THIS
MORNING.
