Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 6:05 AM AKDT, 27 minutes before
NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 605 AM AKDT SUN JUN 1 2014 .DISCUSSION... MODELS IN NOT GREAT AGREEMENT RIGHT OFF THE BAT. UPPER LEVEL LOWS NEAR EAGLE AND SLEETMUTE WILL BOTH MOVE EASTWARD UNTIL THE NORTHERN LOW BECOME A TROUGH INSTEAD OF A CLOSED LOW. THE SOUTHERN LOW WILL TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD TO SOMEWHERE NEAR ANCHORAGE BY LATE SUN NIGHT. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ALONG THE ARCTIC COAST WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN BUT THE HIGH WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE ARCTIC COAST AROUND BARROW BY LATE SUN NIGHT. THE RIDGE BECOMES VERY DISORGANIZED UNTIL AROUND TUE WHEN A NEW DEEP HIGH ALOFT IN THE BERING TAKES CONTROL. ANOTHER TROUGH ALOFT WILL MOVE IN AND TAKE CONTROL BY THE END OF THE WEEK AND CUTOFF THE RIDGE. CURRENTLY...ARCTIC FRONT AND OCCLUDED FRONT NEAR THE BROOKS RANGE IS PROVIDING THE NECESSARY DYNAMICS FOR DECENT RAINFALL OVER THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE BROOKS RANGE. SNOW MELT OVER THE BROOKS RANGE HAS ALREADY CAUSED FLOODING OVER MANY AREAS OF THE NORTH SLOPE. NOW THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL OCCUR TODAY THIS WILL EXACERBATE THE FLOODING. THE COLD AIR INTRUSION OVER THE ARCTIC COAST WILL LIKELY TURN MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION TO SNOW BY LATE AFTERNOON. WINDS ALONG THE ARCTIC COAST WILL BEGIN TO SUBSIDE THIS EVENING. WINDS OVER THE INTERIOR WILL CONTINUE TO GUST TODAY BUT NOT AS STRONG AS ON SATURDAY. COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE && .FIRE WEATHER...WINDY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY AGGRAVATE THE FIRES ALREADY IN PROGRESS. CONDITIONS WILL BE A LITTLE MORE MOIST TODAY. && .HYDROLOGY...
