IS PUSHING NORTHEAST AND ONSHORE INTO SOUTHWEST ALASKA OVER THE
KUSKOKWIM DELTA AND WESTERN BRISTOL BAY CAPES...BRINGING WINDY
CONDITIONS WITH AREAS OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW WITH IT. A FRONTAL
WAVE TRAVERSING THE ALASKA PENINSULA HAS BEEN BRINGING STRONG
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO THAT AREA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AND IS
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LARGER FRONT CURRENTLY PUSHING INTO THE
EASTERN ALEUTIANS.

IN THE GULF AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA THE WEATHER REMAINS GENERALLY
QUIETER AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF.
GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES COMBINED WITH LIGHT WINDS AND A MOIST
LOWER ATMOSPHERE ARE CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR PATCHY FOG AND/OR
LOW STRATUS FORMATION ALONG AND NEAR COOK INLET...TURNAGAIN
ARM...PORTIONS OF THE MATANUSKA AND SUSITNA VALLEYS...EASTERN
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE COPPER RIVER
BASIN. BREEZY WESTERLY GAP FLOW THROUGH PORTAGE VALLEY AND INTO
WHITTIER AND PASSAGE CANAL SHOULD KEEP THOSE AREAS AS WELL AS
WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND CLEAR.

.MODEL DISCUSSION...

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT
TO THE LARGE LOW COMPLEX OVER THE ALEUTIANS...NORTH PACIFIC AND
BERING WHICH HAS BEEN PROVIDING THE MODELS WITH SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES IN THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS IN RESOLVING THE DETAILS OF
ALL THE VARIOUS CIRCULATIONS. THE NAM WAS PREFERRED FOR THE
EASTERN DOMAIN...ITS HIGHER RESOLUTION BETTER HANDLING THE
PRESSURE GRADIENTS DRIVING GAP FLOW AND OTHER TERRAIN RELATED
WINDS. FOR THE WEST...THE GFS WAS PREFERRED FOR ITS MORE
CONSISTENT HANDLING OF THE LARGE LOW COMPLEX AND STRENGTH OF THE
INCOMING FRONTAL SYSTEMS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
BRISK WESTERLY WINDS NEAR WHITTIER WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. A WEAK UPPER WAVE PASSING EAST ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL
TODAY WILL BRING A FEW SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES. RIDGING TRAILS
THE WAVE CREATING FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR STRATUS AND FOG THIS
MORNING FROM COOK INLET REGION TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY. STABLE
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND EASTERN
GULF AS THE RIDGE MOVES OVER THE EASTERN MAINLAND/SUN...SO EXPECT
STRATUS AND FOG TO CONTINUE OVER THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. A GALE
FORCE FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE SOUTHWEST GULF BEHIND THE
RETREATING RIDGE ON SUN BRINGING WINDY AND WET CONDITIONS ACROSS
KODIAK ISLAND AND ADJACENT MARINE AREAS. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE
ITS NORTH AND EAST PROGRESSION SUN NIGHT SPREADING WINDY
CONDITIONS AND MIXED PRECIPITATION TYPES TO THE NORTH GULF/KENAI
PEN AND ADJACENT WATERS.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
SNOW WILL REDEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING ACROSS THE WEST COAST WITH
ANOTHER FRONTAL SURGE MOVING IN FROM THE BERING. A CHANGE FROM
SNOW TO RAIN IS EXPECTED BY THIS AFTERNOON AS WARM AIR ADVECTION
PUSHES INLAND. WINDS INCREASE TONIGHT ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF A SURFACE LOW TRACKING
INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN BERING. STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE COAST BECOME
WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY AS ANOTHER WAVE
REINFORCES THE COASTAL FRONT. A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN SPREADS
FURTHER INLAND SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE UPPER BERING LOW SENDS ANOTHER
STRONGER WAVE TO THE WEST COAST WITH A SLOW EASTWARD PROPAGATION
OVERNIGHT. THIS STRONGER WAVE MAY BRING A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND SURROUNDING WATERS WITH A SLIGHTLY
UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE SUNDAY NIGHT...HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT
ADDED INTO THE MORNING FORECAST AS THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE IN
THIS DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.SHORT TERM FORECAST BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (DAYS 1 AND 2)...
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS THE CENTRAL ALEUTIANS ORGANIZES
INTO A STRONGER SYSTEM TODAY AND BEGINS TO TRACK SLOWLY NORTH.
WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AROUND THIS SYSTEM
WITH SNOW ALONG THE WESTERN WATERS AND SNOW CHANGING OVER TO RAIN
ACROSS THE EAST. WINDS INCREASE AROUND THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM AS
IT DEEPENS ON ITS TRACK TOWARD THE NORTHWESTERN BERING. GALE WINDS
MAINLY ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM WITH SOUTH TO EAST FLOW ACROSS MUCH
OF THE BERING/ALEUTIANS WITH NORTHERLY FLOW ADVECTING A COLDER AIR
MASS ALONG THE WEST. STORM FORCE GUSTS AROUND THE CORE OF THE LOW
ARE POSSIBLE AS THE SYSTEM DEEPENS TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

&&

.LONG TERM FORECAST (DAYS 3 THROUGH 7)...

LOW PRESSURE IN THE NORTHWEST BERING MONDAY WILL CONTINUE TO
FILL/WEAKEN AND MOVE NORTH...WHILE AN ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DRAPED SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH BRISTOL BAY AND ALONG THE GULF COAST
HELPS TO KEEP MAINLY SOUTHEAST FACING UPSLOPE AREAS ON THE WET
SIDE. THIS ATMOSPHERIC PATTERN WILL ALLOW FOR WARMER AND WETTER
CONDITIONS WHERE THE SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW
PERSISTS...WHILE UNDERNEATH THE MID-LEVEL HIGH...PLACES SUCH AS
THE COPPER RIVER BASIN AND SHELTERED VALLEYS INLAND WILL SEE THE
COLDEST TEMPERATURES AND DRIEST CONDITIONS.

BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...THE
NORTH PACIFIC PATTERN WILL ONCE AGAIN RE-ENERGIZE AS THE EAST
ASIAN JET SPINS UP A SERIES OF STRONG NPAC LOWS WHICH ARE EXPECTED
TO MOVE INTO SOUTHERN ALASKA AND THE BERING SEA. THIS MAY BRING
CHINOOK LIKE CONDITIONS TO PARTS OF SOUTHERN ALASKA INCLUDING
ANCHORAGE...BUT TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE LOWS IS STILL UNCERTAIN
AT THIS TIME. BUT THIS WILL REPRESENT A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN WITH
WET CONDITIONS ALONG THE COASTS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG GALE
FORCE AND HIGHER WINDS REGION WIDE.
