AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA
500 AM ADT WED SEP 6 2006
.DISCUSSION...
...THE FEATURE THAT IS RAPIDLY BECOMING THE DOMINANT WEATHER SYSTEM IN
THE AREA IS THE LOW WEST OF THE ALEUTIANS...WHICH CONTAINS THE
REMAINS OF FORMER SUPER TYPHOON IOKE. THIS LOW WILL BOMB OUT TODAY
OVER THE BERING SEA. CENTRAL SURFACE PRESSURE WILL BOTTOM OUT AT
AROUND 963 MB EARLY THURSDAY. BEING A FORMER TYPHOON...THIS LOW
CONTAINS COPIOUS MOISTURE AND WILL BRING DECENT AMOUNTS OF RAIN OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS TO THE ALEUTIANS AND SOUTHWEST ALASKA ALONG WITH
STRONG WINDS. AS THIS LOW APPROACHES THE WEST COAST OF ALASKA IT
WILL FINALLY KICK OUT THE GULF LOW THURSDAY NIGHT...AND THEN CROSS
THE AKPEN AND DROP INTO THE GULF SATURDAY TO TAKE ITS PLACE. THE
MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE ABOVE SCENARIO THROUGH
ABOUT SUNDAY.
