Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 3:26 PM AKDT, 12 hours 27 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 326 PM AKDT Wed Jun 7 2017 .DISCUSSION... The 12z model suite initialized well against the 12z surface analysis, and verified well against the 18z surface analyses. Model spread remains reasonable through early next week. Larger differences in feature strength and positions emerge across the model suite by the middle of next week. Aloft the upper level high pressure system over the Chukotsk Peninsula has merged with the upper level ridge building west out of the Yukon over central and northern Alaska. As the merged ridge continues to build over the next couple days expect well above normal temperatures over a large portion of northern Alaska with temperatures reaching into the lower 80s at many locations. The warm temperatures aloft will limit thunderstorm activity over much of the interior with only the lower YK delta expecting isolated thunderstorms. The thermal trough over the interior will cause gap winds through the Alaska Range passes to continue into this evening especially as a weak front moves north over the Alaska Range this evening. The front will stall over the interior and combine with the thermal trough to contribute to northeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts to around 20 mph north of the front. This is just short of Red Flag Wind Criteria and will need to be monitored closely as the other two Red Flag Criteria are likely to be met tomorrow. The 1032 mb high pressure system north the North Slope will only slowly drift south increasing the gradient over the North Slope.
