Area forecast discussion, Dec 31, 5:06 AM AKST, 9 hours 32 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 506 AM AKST Tue Dec 31 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Pressure gradient over the western part of the state remains strong through Wednesday, and winds are producing cold Wind Chills over much of the West coast. Another wave of moisture will move north into the Western Interior with snow spreading over the Western Interior Today through Wednesday morning. The Central Interior could see some snow late Wednesday evening into Thursday. Turning colder across the Interior later in the weeek. && .DISCUSSION...Aloft, at the 500 mb level,Southerly flow will persist over the Interior through Today. The long wave trough over the west coast will shift to the east and a closed low will form just north of Kodiak Island The southerly flow will bring in increasingly warmer 850mb temperatures to much of the Interior with temperatures ranging from near 0c to -10C around the Interior while -15 to -30C air will remain over the Brooks Range. The flow will turn more southeasterly over the Interior by Wednesday and colder air will filter across the Interior later in the week. Central and Eastern Interior: Gap winds through the passes in the Alaska Range are expected to continue through Tuesday with gusts to 60 mph. Winter weather advisories are out for zones 223 and 226 through this afternoon. Warmer than normal temperatures are expected to continue through mid- week before becoming cold again to close out the week. West Coast and Western Interior: Northerly flow will continue through Wedneday across the area, and that combined with only partly cloudy skies will keep temperatures below average. On St Lawrence Island, lake effect like snowfall will continue as cold air moves over the remaining open water in the area. This will bring about 1 to 2 inches of snow per day to St Lawrence Island through the middle of the week. Winds will be strong all along the west coast with gusts to over 55 mph. Blizzard conditions have ended for Kivalina, downgraded to a winter weather advisory for blowing snow and low wind chills. Close to blizzard conditions for Wales, have left the blizzard warning out for zone 213 through this afternoon. A wave of moisture will produce snow today through Wednesday morning from Mcgrath to Bettles to Arctic village.

Winter weather advisories are in effect for these areas. North Slope and Brooks Range: Cold temperatures will persist across the area through Wednesday, with slightly colder air moving in behind that.
