NWS Forecaster Discussion
663 fxak69 pafg 052316 afdafg Northern Alaska forecast discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks Alaska 316 PM akdt Sat Jul 5 2008 Synopsis... a persistent high aloft over the northern half of Alaska will weaken slowly through Monday. Very dry air under the high is inhibiting convection and allowing maximum heating of the warm airmass causing temperatures in the 75-85 range across most of northern Alaska including a record high at Nome today. Temperatures over northern Alaska will remain warm but cool a few degrees sun and Monday as the high weakens. A low aloft now near Eagle will move to near Fairbanks by 4pm sun and to near Ruby by 4pm Monday. Slightly cooler air aloft and added moisture associated with this low will move west with the low increasing convection over interior Alaska. Expect scattered thunderstorms near this low aloft today through sun. At the surface a thermal low pressure trough from Northway to Bethel to Nome will move to Northway to Denali to Bethel and then south by 4pm sun and to Old Crow to Bettles to Bethel by 4pm Monday. Expect isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms along this thermal trough. A surface high stretching from the northern Beaufort Sea to the chukotsk peninsula to the central Bering Sea will move to the northern Beaufort to the Seward Peninsula to the eastern Bering Sea Monday. This ridge is causing north winds and fog along the coasts from Barrow to the Bering Strait that will continue into Sun night. && Discussion... models initialize well and show similar solutions. High confidence in models due to good agreement. Coastal hazard potential days 3 and 4...none && Fire weather... hot dry conditions and gusty winds will persist through this evening along with the current red flag conditions. Winds will decrease sun and rh's will increase with the low aloft. && Hydrology... none. && Afg watches/warnings/advisories... red flag warning for akz216-akz219-akz220-akz221-akz222. Small Craft Advisory for pkz210-pkz220-pkz225-pkz245. Brisk Wind Advisory for pkz240. && $$ Jb Jul 08
