NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
215 PM AKST SAT NOV 7 2015

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS VERY SIMILAR THROUGH 60 HOURS. THE MODELS HAVE COME
TOGETHER AND WORKED OUT THEIR DIFFERENCES AMONG THEMSELVES FROM
PREVIOUS RUNS. THE CONSENSUS THINKING NOW IS TO BRING THE SURFACE
LOW CENTER OF THE DEEP LOW STRAIT THROUGH NORTON SOUND. THIS IS
SIGNIFICANT AS WE BELIEVE NOW THAT THIS WILL MITIGATE THE MOST
SERIOUS THREAT OF COASTAL FLOODING IN ZONES 211 AND 212. THE YK
DELTA SEEMS TO BE ANOTHER ISSUE AT THE MOMENT THOUGH AS IT APPEARS
IT WILL BE THE MOST IMPACTED.

AS THE DEEP LOW MOVES TOWARDS NORTON SOUND IT DEVELOPS A HIGH
AMPLITUDE RIDGE AHEAD OF IT...THIS WILL CREATE STRONG WINDS IN THE
ALASKA RANGE. HENCE HIGH WIND WATCHES ARE BEING ISSUED FOR THE
ALASKA RANGE ZONES THAT ARE AT THE MOST THREAT. AS THE SURFACE LOW
MOVES INLAND...THERE IS SOME DISPARITY OF ITS EXACT TRACK THEN
BUT IT CERTAINLY WILL FILL RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES EAST OR NORTHEAST.

THE FRONT WILL SPREAD A COMBINATION OF RAIN AND SNOW ACROSS THE
WEST COAST FROM THE ARCTIC COAST TO THE ALASKA RANGE BEFORE THE
FRONT BREAKS UP IN THE CENTRAL INTERIOR MON.

WINDS ON THE WEST COAST WILL CERTAINLY REACH GALE IN MANY AREAS
AND THEN THEN THE COLD ADVECTION WILL DROP DOWN BEHIND THE LOW OVER
SAINT LAWRENCE ISLAND WITH CONTINUED STRONG WINDS. THIS SHOULD
PRODUCE SEVERAL INCHES OF OCEAN EFFECT SNOW OVER SAINT LAWRENCE
ISLAND MON NIGHT AND TUE.

AS THE LOW AND ITS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVE EASTWARD...ANOTHER COLD
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP DOWN FROM THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC TO OVER THE
BERING SEA BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
USHERING IN VERY COLD AIR TO ALL OF NORTHERN ALASKA AT THE END OF
THE WEEK.

COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE
