DISCUSSION
LIGHT UPSLOPE FLOW WITH STRONG EASTERLY WINDS WILL ALLOW LIGHT TO
MODERATE SHOWER ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN CHUGACH
AND KENAI MOUNTAINS THROUGH THIS EVENING. BY TONIGHT, A SECONDARY
SHORTWAVE AND INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH DRIVES NORTHWEST FROM THE
EASTERN GULF TO SOUTHCENTRAL COAST. THESE FEATURES WILL ALLOW FOR
ELEVATED STRONG EAST-SOUTHEAST WINDS TO CONTINUE, WITH THE
STRONGER WINDS PUSHING ALL THE WAY TO HATCHER BETWEEN LATE TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. THESE FEATURES WILL ALSO ENHANCE
PRECIPITATION RATES ALONG THE COAST, PARTICULARLY THE KENAI
MOUNTAINS AND E TURNAGAIN AREAS, WHERE AN ADDITIONAL 1"+ QPF AND
1-3"+ QPF AMOUNTS COULD FALL BETWEEN SATURDAY EVENING AND SUNDAY
MORNING AT LOWER ELEVATIONS AND OVER HIGHER ELEVATIONS,
RESPECTIVELY. THESE WAVES WILL LIKELY BRING PRECIPITATION INTO THE
FRONT RANGE, SUMMIT LAKE AREA AND INTO THE INTERIOR PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL CHUGACH. FOR THE CENTRAL CHUGACH, THERE IS LIKELY TO
BE AN INTRUSION OF WARM AIR FROM THE SOUTHEAST TONIGHT INTO EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING, THAT MAY PRODUCE RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN TO THE TOP
OF THOMPSON PASS. THIS IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGING FORECAST AS MODELS
STRUGGLE TO RESOLVE THE TERRAIN, BUT IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A
PERIOD OF RAIN, IT'S LIKELY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. ADDITIONALLY IT LOOKS LIKE THE MORE CONTINENTAL CLIMATE
AREA ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PASS COULD BE MORE FAVORED.
FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY, EXPECT MORE OF THE SAME AS THE WAVE SUNDAY
WEAKENS WITH WINDS SHIFTING MORE EASTERLY AS PRECIPITATION WANES
ONLY TO HAVE AN INCREASE IN BOTH PRECIPITATION AND STRONG EAST-
SOUTHEAST WINDS SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. SNOW
LEVELS MAY FALL BELOW 2,000 FT SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT BEFORE CLIMBING BACK AROUND 2,500 FT FOR MONDAY.
