NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
1240 AM AKDT SUN JUN 15 2014

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALASKA INTERIOR AND
EASTWARD INTO CANADA WILL MOVE NORTHWARD...EXTENDING FROM
THE EASTERN ARCTIC COAST SOUTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHWEST
CANADA BY MON AFTERNOON. LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE BERING
AND CHUKCHI SEAS WILL HOLD TOGETHER THROUGH MON NIGHT...
THEN FRACTURE AS THE SOUTHERN ANCHORING UPPER LOW CENTER
MOVES EASTWARD INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA BY TUE
AFTERNOON. LIGHT WIND FLOW ALOFT OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR
WILL BECOME SOUTHEAST BY MON AND SHIFT TO EAST BY TUE
EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES EASTWARD INTO THE
NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA.

A SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH EXTENDS FROM KOTZEBUE SOUND
TO THE UPPER TANANA VALLEY AND EASTWARD INTO CANADA.
BY MON AFTERNOON...A BROAD THERMAL LOW WILL BE CENTERED
OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR...WITH A TROUGH EXTENDING
TO THE UPPER TANANA VALLEY AND SOUTHEASTWARD INTO
CANADA. THE LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN
AND SOUTHEASTERN INTERIOR NY TUE AFTERNOON. A COLD FRONT
WILL CONTINUE TO CREEP SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE EASTERN
ARCTIC COAST...WITH LOW STRATUS AND COLDER TEMPERATURES
BEHIND THE FRONT.

A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL PERSIST TODAY ALONG
THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PERIMETER OF THE UPPER RIDGE...
OVER THE SOUTHERN...SOUTHEASTERN...AND WEST CENTRAL
INTERIOR AREAS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED
IN THESE AREAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A DRY AIR
MASS WILL PERSIST OVER THE NORTHEASTERN INTERIOR AREAS.
FOR MON...AN INCREASE IN INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED WITH MOST
OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO BE NEAR THE THERMAL
LOW CENTER IN THE WEST CENTRAL INTERIOR AND EXTENDING ALONG
THE TROUGH SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE UPPER TANANA VALLEY. MORE
STABLE AIR IS EXPECTED NEAR THE ALASKA RANGE AND IN THE
NORTHEAST INTERIOR. FOR TUE...THE UPPER LOW OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA IS EXPECTED PUMP MORE MOISTURE
AND MAINLY OVERCAST SKIES INTO THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR.
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL PROBABLY BE LIMITED MOSTLY TO THE
NORTHERN AND WESTERN INTERIOR AND THE BROOKS RANGE...BUT WITH

INTERIOR...ONE CANNOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME VERY
ISOLATED ACTIVITY THERE.

DEVELOP IN ALASKA RANGE PASSES TONIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH MON
