NWS Forecaster Discussion
311 fxak68 pafc 212139 afdafc Area forecast discussion southcentral and southwest Alaska 140 PM akdt sun Mar 21 2010 Analysis and upper levels... high amplitude trough over eastern Siberia resulting in a downstream ridge centered over the western Bering Sea. A broad trough persists over much of Mainland Alaska with the anchor low located well south of our forecast area over the North Pacific. At the surface...high pressure continues to dominate the eastern Bering Sea...surrounded by two weak surface troughs with little to no precipitation associated with them. Model discussion... models have been inconsistent with the weak surface pattern although upper levels and synoptically looking similar. The 12z runs are in fair agreement...although give a slight edge to the NAM based on run to run consistency and continuity. Short term forecast... precipitation limited to the coastal areas this afternoon. The coverage will increase overnight as a short wave rotates southward out of Bristol Bay into the western Gulf of Alaska. At the same time...another short wave is dropping out of the northern Yukon territory. The two short waves coupled with some jet support from the northern Pacific will help develop a surface low Monday that will bring gale force winds along the north Gulf Coast Monday night. Clouds and precipitation should remain along the coastal sections and upslope mountain ranges but can not rule out a stray shower over inland areas given the weak pressure pattern and abundance of cyclonic circulation aloft. The mostly cloudy and showery regime continues through middle week while the upper pattern makes very little progress...maintaining the long wave axis near the Alaska Peninsula. Southwest Alaska... likewise will see generally increasing clouds with scattered showers through early next week. Temperatures will remain at or above climatological norm for this time of year. The weak pressure gradient and abundant low level moisture could lend itself to extensive fog along the coast and in low lying areas. Aleutians/Bering Sea... a storm force front is approaching the western Aleutians but will weaken rapidly as it encounters the high pressure over the central Bering Sea. A weak surface occlusion will develop along the weakening boundary around the central Aleutians Tuesday...and then continue to fill as it becomes a vertically stacked low near the Alaska Peninsula by middle week. Aer/alu...watch/warning summary public...none. Marine...Storm Warning 176 Gale Warning 172 175. Fire weather...none. Ab Mar 10
