NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
116 PM AKST TUE DEC 30 2014

.DISCUSSION...

UPPER AIR...
RIDGE CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM AROUND 75N/175E TO THE PANHANDLE AND
SOUTHEASTWARD. IT WILL WEAKEN SUBSTANTIALLY BY WED MORNING AS A
SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING UP THE WEST COAST PUNCHES THROUGH THE TOP
OF THE RIDGE. THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH AXIS CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM
NEAR ST MATTHEW ISLAND EASTWARD TO THE WEST COAST. THE WAVE WILL
MOVE NORTHWARD TO THE CHUKOTSK PENINSULA BY WED MORNING...MORPHING
INTO A WEAK CLOSED LOW CENTER. THIS LOW WILL MOVE TO NORTHWEST
ALASKA BY WED EVENING...THEN DISSIPATE. AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN BERING SEA WILL BUILD SOME AS IT MOVES EASTWARD TO THE
EASTERN BERING SEA BY WED EVENING. A HIGH CENTER WILL SPLIT OFF
FROM THE RIDGE LATE WED NIGHT WITH THE CENTER OVER THE CHUKOTSK
PENINSULA. THE HIGH CENTER WILL BECOME MORE EXPANSIVE AS THE
CENTER MOVES EASTWARD TO NEAR 73N/155W BY LATE THU NIGHT. STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE WILL DECREASE RAPIDLY
AND BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY LATER TONIGHT. AFTER THE INITIAL RIDGE
WEAKENS...TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL COOL TO NEAR SEASONAL NORMALS BY
LATE IN THE WEEK. OVER THE WEEKEND...THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL
DRIFT SLOWLY SOUTHWARD TO BE PREDOMINANT OVER THE NORTHERN ALASKA
MAINLAND THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH

INDICATING LOWER LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL ALMOST TOTALLY BELOW
FREEZING BY WED MORNING...COOLING TO WELL BELOW FREEZING WED
