Area forecast discussion 
southcentral and southwest Alaska 
300 PM akst sun Nov 22 2009 


Milder with periods of heavy wind and precipitation about sums it up 
for the next 4 or 5 days. Forecast models jumping around from one 
run/day to the next so I won't bother even mentioning much past the 
middle of the week. 


Blizzard Warning over for the southwest coast as slowly weakening low 
center now just north of Cold Bay moves northeast to the greater King 
Salmon vicinity Monday morning. 


Nice over running has brought fair snow amounts...4 to 8 inches 
western Cook Inlet Susitna Valley areas with all the snow falling 
west of the Parks Highway. Model forecast for Kenai Peninsula and 
western Prince William Sound predict 2 to 4 feet of snow east of the 
Seward Highway above the 2000 feet level. 


Chinook pattern along Chugach Mountains will limit precipitation from 
Anchor Point north to Palmer. Upcoming week looks stormy with several 
strong Chinook winds events looming. 


Several polar type lows to form and drop south toward the 
Aleutians/pribilofs as Arctic air stays locked in the Bering. Next 
big storm from the northwest Pacific will bring another round of 
strong winds and snow out west late Monday through Wednesday.
