Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 430 AM AKDT Sat Apr 22 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Aloft... A ridge over northern Alaska will weaken slowly through Wed then rebuild late next week. This will keep most of northern Alaska dry through the weekend and into next week, except the West Coast and Arctic Coast of Alaska which could see light precip Sun into next week. Temperatures will remain near of just above normal this weekend then cool to near normal next week. Surface... A 1039 mb high over the Beaufort Sea will weaken through Sun. This is causing east winds 10 mph over the Arctic Coast of Alaska. Will see areas of steam fog between midnight and noon along the Arctic coast through tonight with this. An Arctic Front stretching from Chicken to the Bering Strait will drift north to Eagle to Shishmaref by 4pm Sat...and then remain quasi-stationary into Mon. Will see temperatures warm to above normal south of the front. A low pressure trough over Norton Sound will move west today. There are mid level clouds and a few flurries with this. A weather front along the Alaska Peninsula will move to the central Bering Sea tonight and then continue west. More flurries with this . A third front will move from th Gulf of Alaska to St Matthew Island to King Salmon by 4pm Sun...and then to Gambell to King Salmon by 4pm Mon. This will bring a chance of rain and snow to Southwest Alaska Sun night and Mon with the best chance of rain over zones 214 and 215. A low pressure trough from Wrangel Island north will move to Barrow to Cape Lisburne Sun and to Barter Island to Cape Lisburne Mon. Expect flurries and patchy fog with this feature. High pressure building over the Chukchi Sea behind this trough will cause northeast winds to increase along the West Coast Sun and Mon. && .DISCUSSION... Models initialize well except that the high aloft north of Barrow is stronger than was initialized. Expect this to result in the ridge breaking down slower than models indicate. Will use GFS for most fields excepting the precipitation field which again show precip over Interior Alaska this weekend which will not occur. && .FIRE WEATHER...
