NWS Forecaster Discussion




Northern Alaska forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Fairbanks Alaska 
1133 am akdt Tuesday Jun 18 2013 


Discussion... 
a strong upper level high centered over the northwest Alaska 
interior will gradually morph into to a strong ridge extending 
from the western Arctic coast to the eastern Brooks range then 
southeastward into Canada by Thursday. This will set up a mainly 
southeast wind flow aloft over areas south of the Brooks range. 
This will end the subsidence aloft and bring in some little 
moisture...creating an unstable air mass and the likelihood of 
thunderstorm development over much of the interior and Brooks 
range Thursday. GFS and European model (ecmwf) ensemble means suggest this pattern 
could remain in place for at least a week to 10 days. 


Hot and dry conditions will continue for most inland areas 
through Thursday. Record or near record temperatures may 
occur at some locations. 




Fire weather... 
hot and dry conditions over most inland areas continuing through 
Thursday. Isolated thunderstorms likely developing over much of 
the interior and Brooks range during the afternoon and evening 
hours Thursday and Friday. Isolated thunderstorms Wednesday 
afternoon and evening over parts of akz212-akz215-akz216 as an 
upper trough moves westward across these areas. This is connected 
with an upper low center gradually moving around the perimeter of 
the strong upper high. This morning the low center is located over 
the northwest Panhandle...by Wednesday the low center is prognosticated 
to be north of the northern Bristol Bay coast with the trough 
extending northward. Developing thermal low over southwest Alaska 
will cause locally gusty winds over parts of the interior this 
afternoon and evening.
