NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
125 PM AKDT THU JUN 4 2015

.DISCUSSION...

MODELS...REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE SHORT TERM AND THEY
SEEM TO BE COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT AS THEY HEAD INTO THE MID
RANGE. ALL THE MODELS INITIALIZED WELL AGAINST THE 18Z SURFACE
ANALYSIS. WILL ONLY MAKE MINOR CHANGES IN THE SHORT TERM FORECASTS
SINCE CONTINUITY OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD.

ALOFT...AT 500 HPA...LONG WAVE TROUGH LIES NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE AND WILL SLIDE TO THE WEST TO
BE OVER THE CHUKCHI SEA AND EASTERN BERING SEA SATURDAY MORNING.
531 DAM LOW OVER THE WESTERN ARCTIC PLAIN WILL DRIFT OVER KIVALINA
BY FRIDAY MORNING...THEN OVER THE BERING STRAIT BY SATURDAY
MORNING AS HEIGHTS FALL TO 522 DAM...THEN OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA BY SUNDAY MORNING. A 528 DAM LOW OVER KODIAK ISLAND WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST OVER COOK INLET BY FRIDAY MORNING THEN BE ABSORBED INTO
THE TROUGH TO THE WEST. A 541 DAM LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE TROUGH
OVER THE NORTH PACIFIC AND MOVE OVER KODIAK ISLAND BY SATURDAY
MORNING...THEN EAST OVER YAKUTAT BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON THEN
DISSIPATE. WEAK RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE WITH
546 DAM HEIGHTS OVER THE BORDER TODAY WILL WEAKEN FRIDAY AS A
SHORTWAVE MOVES NORTH IN THE FLOW AROUND THE LOW TO THE WEST. THE
RIDGING WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE AREA BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE WITH
550 DAM HEIGHTS OVER THE BORDER SATURDAY. THE RIDGE WEAKENS A BIT
AS LOW MOVES OVER YAKUTAT...THEN BUILDS BACK IN OVER THE INTERIOR
WITH HEIGHTS BUILDING TO AROUND 562 DAM OVER THE BORDER TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY.

SURFACE...BR0AD AREA OF CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE STATE
ANCHORED TO A LOW IN THE NORTHERN GULF OF ALASKA. A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE EXTENDS NORTHEAST FROM THE LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL YUKON
TERRITORY. THE MAIN LOW WILL SLIDE NORTH TO BE OVER THE UPPER
KOYUKUK BASIN BY FRIDAY MORNING WITH THE TROUGH LYING OVER THE
UPPER YUKON FLATS AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN YUKON TERRITORY. A
TROUGH WILL ALSO LIE FROM THE LOW SOUTH OVER BRISTOL BAY. SURFACE
RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHEAST INTERIOR. OVER THE ARCTIC THE
RIDGE WILL WEAKEN AND PULL BACK OVER SIBERIA WHILE A LOW IN THE
ATLANTIC ARCTIC WATERS TODAY MOVES OVER THE NORTH POLE TO 85N
150W BY SUNDAY MORNING WITH THE ASSOCIATED WEATHER FRONT MOVING TO
THE CHUKCHI SEA ON MONDAY.

ARCTIC COAST AND BROOKS RANGE...RELATIVELY QUIET WITH EAST TO
NORTHEAST FLOW OVER THE AREA. AS LOW MOVES NORTH IN THE INTERIOR
FLOW OVER THE ARCTIC BECOMES MORE NORTH TO NORTHEAST AND PULLS IN
SOME MORE MOISTURE RAIN SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP OVER MOST OF THE
ARCTIC. SOME HEAVIER PRECIPITATION IN THE BROOKS RANGE AS THEY
GET A LITTLE UPSLOPE INFLUENCE. MAXIMUM RAINFALL/SNOWFALL AMOUNTS
FROM THE MODELS RANGE FROM 0.5 ON THE NAM TO 1.0 ON THE GFS INCH
OVER THE CENTRAL BROOKS RANGE. 1.0 INCH SEEMS TOO HIGH FOR THIS
SCENARIO SO WILL PULL THAT BACK USING THE NAM. WINDS MAINLY 10 TO
20 MPH THIS EVENING INCREASING OVERNIGHT...AS THE GRADIENT GETS
SQUEEZED A BIT...TO 15 TO 30 MPH. WINDS FRIDAY BACK IN THE 10 TO
20 MPH RANGE. GOES PROBABILITY PRODUCTS AT 04/1445Z SHOW SOME
MVFR CONDITIONS OVER THE NORTHWEST COAST AND ARCTIC PLAIN.

WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR...FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE YUKON
VALLEY EXTENDS SOUTH ACROSS BRISTOL BAY TODAY AND WILL REMAIN
OVER THE AREA INTO SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE MOVING WEST OVER THE
BERING STRAIT. WEAK RIDGING OVER THE EASTERN BERING SEA WILL
SLOWLY SLIDE TO THE WEST THROUGH SATURDAY. NORTH TO NORTHEAST
FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WITH COASTAL AREAS MAINTAINING AN OFFSHORE
FLOW IN MOST AREAS. INLAND WINDS WILL BE LIGHT WITH WINDS 10 TO
20 MPH OVER COAST. TEMPERATURES A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER WITH THAT
NORTHERLY FLOW. CONVECTIVE INDICES EAST OF THE YUKON RIVER VALLEY
LOOK GOOD FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM AS HIGH PRESSURE AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES MOVE OVER THE AREA.

CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR...INCREASING CLOUDS WITH SHOWERS
MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT AS THERMAL TROUGH REORIENTS
OVER THE UPPER YUKON FLATS BY TOMORROW AND A SHORTWAVE ALOFT
PROVIDES A LITTLE INCREASED LIFT OVER THE AREA. AS THE RIDGE
MOVES IN FRIDAY TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE INTO THE 60S.
INDICES INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ALONG THE
SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE TROUGH WHICH WILL BE THE YUKON RIVER
VALLEY FROM MARSHALL TO GALENA TO THE UPPER YUKON FLATS. MODEL
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS RANGE FROM 0.5 TO 1.0 INCH IN THE UPPER
KOYUKUK AND THIS LOOKS LIKE A MUCH BETTER AREA FOR THE HIGHER
AMOUNTS WITH BETTER UPSLOPE CONDITIONS AS THE LOW MOVES INTO THAT
AREA SO WILL LEAN MORE TOWARD THE 1.0 INCH RANGE WEST OF THE
DALTON HIGHWAY IN ZONE 218 AND EAST OF INDIAN MOUNTAIN IN ZONE
219.

.COASTAL HAZARD POTENTIAL DAYS 3 AND 4...NONE.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER WELL OVERNIGHT.
TOMORROW...SIMILAR HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IF NOT A FEW
DEGREES COOL ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND WESTERN ALASKA. SIMILAR TO
SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS OVER THE INTERIOR WITH PARTLY SUNNY TO
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED. NOTABLY...MINIMUM RH VALUES WILL
DROP SLIGHTLY MORE OVER THE FAR EASTERN AND NORTHERN INTERIOR
TOMORROW COMPARED TO TODAY. OTHERWISE...WET CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS FORECAST OVER THE
EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF NORTHERN ALASKA.

THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW ARE ANTICIPATED TO HAVE A WIDER AREAL
COVERAGE WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF THE
INTERIOR TO THE SOUTH SLOPES OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE BROOKS
RANGE. THESE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO OROGRAPHIC
LIFT AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FROM A SFC LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
THAT EXTENDS INTO THE ALASKA INTERIOR WHILE A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVES NORTH.

OTHERWISE...MAIN CONCERN IS MODERATE TO STRONG GUSTY WINDS ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE NORTH SLOPES OF THE ALASKA RANGE. FORT GREELY
MESONET SITES SHOW STRONG WINDS WITH GUSTS EXCEEDED 25 MPH AND
CURRENT RH BETWEEN 30 AND 45 PERCENT. GIVEN THE TIME OF AND WINDS
EXPECTED TO INCREASED ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FROM THIS EVENING
TO TOMORROW EVENING. THERE WILL BE A SHORT REPRIEVE OVERNIGHT WITH
RH VALUES RECOVERING THAT WILL THEN BE FOLLOWED BY DRY CONDITIONS
AND STRONG WINDS AGAIN TOMORROW. WHILE WINDS WILL START
DIMINISHING THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW...GUSTS WILL STILL EXCEED 25
MPH.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WITH THIS EVENT WILL BE IN
THE UPPER KOYUKUK RIVER BASIN SO WILL NEED TO WATCH THE FEEDERS
INTO THE KOYUKUK RIVER FOR POTENTIAL RISES IN THE RIVERS LATE
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME GOOD PRECIPITATION IN THE
CENTRAL BROOKS RANGE...BUT RIVERS ARE LOWER THAN THE WERE A WEEK
AGO WITH A PREVIOUS HEAVY RAIN EVENT...SO DO NOT EXPECT THAT THIS
EVENT WILL BE MUCH OF AN ISSUE.
