NORTHERN ALASKA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
335 AM AKST FRI JAN 22 2016

UPDATED MARINE HAZARDS LINE

.DISCUSSION...
A QUIET WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER NORTHERN ALASKA
THROUGH SUNDAY...THEN BECOME MORE ACTIVE BY MONDAY AS A
BUILDING UPPER RIDGE GRADUALLY STRENGTHENS OVER NORTHWEST
CANADA AND SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT INCREASES OVER THE
NORTHERN ALASKA MAINLAND.

UPPER AIR...
A COLD UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN BROOKS RANGE WILL BE
PUSHED WESTWARD INTO THE CHUKCHI SEA BY SUNDAY MORNING AS A HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE BEGINNING TO BUILD OVER NORTHWEST CANADA LATER
TODAY STRENGTHENS ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL SET UP A MAINLY SOUTH TO
SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS NORTHERN ALASKA AND BRING IN WARMER
AIR FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA.

SURFACE...
A 1026 MB HIGH CENTERED ABOUT 200 MILES NORTHWEST OF BARROW WILL
WEAKEN TO A 1022 MB HIGH CENTERED ABOUT 400 MILES NORTH OF
DEMARCATION POINT BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. A NARROW HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR ARCTIC SLOPE IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN VERY SLOWLY TODAY...THIS SHOULD RESULT THE WINDS ALONG THE
ARCTIC COAST TO BECOME LIGHT NORTHEASTERLY BY THIS AFTERNOON AND
INCREASE A LITTLE TONIGHT. AREAS OF LOW STRATUS AND FOG ARE
EXPECTED TO PERSIST OVER MUCH OF THE ARCTIC COAST TODAY. A
MODERATE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS NORTHERN ALASKA FROM THE BROOKS
RANGE SOUTHWARD IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN SOME TODAY THROUGH
SUNDAY...BUT BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE OVER MANY
AREAS THAT ARE PRONE TO NORTHEAST WINDS. LOCAL GUSTS TO 30 TO 40
MPH ARE STILL OCCURRING AT A FEW SITES IN NORTHERN ZONES 208 AND
217. BLOWING SNOW MAY REDUCE VISIBILITY TO ONE HALF MILE AT TIMES
IN THE WINDIEST AREAS...SO WE WILL ALLOW THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORIES FOR ZONES 208 AND 217 TO RUN THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
WINDS AT POINT HOPE HAVE DIMINISHED TO 20-25 MPH WITH SOME HIGHER
GUSTS SO THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THAT AREA WILL BE
CANCELLED. LITTLE OR NO SNOW IS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT... WITH A
CHANCE OF SNOW DEVELOPING OVER MUCH OF THE WESTERN INTERIOR
SATURDAY NIGHT...AND OVER PARTS OF THE WEST COAST AND WESTERN
INTERIOR SUNDAY AS AN INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH GRADUALLY DEVELOPS
OVER THESE AREAS.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK...
A SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHEASTERLY UPPER LOW PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN PREDOMINANT...WITH LITTLE OR NO PRECIPITATION OVER THE
INTERIOR AND ARCTIC COAST. CHINOOK WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE
ALASKA RANGE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE ABOVE NORMAL. THE CLIMATE
PREDICTION CENTER 6-10 DAY FORECAST CALLS FOR ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES FOR NORTHERN ALASKA. THE NCEP ENSEMBLE MEAN
TEMPERATURE ANOMALY FORECAST INDICATES TEMPERATURES AVERAGING UP
TO 6 DEGREES CELSIUS ABOVE NORMAL FOR ALMOST ALL OF NORTHERN
ALASKA FOR WEEK 1. FOR WEEK 2...THIS FORECAST INDICATES POSITIVE
TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES OF 6 TO 9 DEGREES CELSIUS OVER ALMOST ALL OF
NORTHERN ALASKA SOUTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER
POSITIVE ANOMALIES OVER THE ARCTIC SLOPE.
