.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION...
A 998 mb low in the SE Bering Sea is bringing light snow and gusty
winds for the Yukon Delta Coast. A shortwave in the Interior
brought snow to the Southern Interior today and heavy snow to the
Northern Interior this afternoon and tonight. A 1038 mb high in
the Arctic will prolong onshore flow promoting stratus and areas
of fog, but otherwise generally quiet weather through tomorrow.
Moving forward the low in the Bering will phase with a low in the
Northern Pacific on Sunday. This will promote gusty winds in the
Alaska Range and most of the mainland. Another front from this
low will move into the Interior and bring chances for rain and
snow, especially in the Northern Interior.

&&

.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...
A 508 decameter low in the Gulf of Alaska will move north into
Prince William Sound on Monday and bring a front over the Alaska
Range. As southerly flow increases, large amounts of moisture are
brought inland, increasing precipitation chances across Northern
Alaska on Monday and into Tuesday. Brief, transient ridging will
build over the Interior Tuesday afternoon, drying things out.
Another strong low behind this ridge will move into the AK
Peninsula by Wednesday. This looks to significantly increase
southerly flow over the Interior, prompting the potential for
warning level wind gusts through the Alaska Range Passes.
Confidence in precipitation is low, but there may be heavy snow or
rain with this low, especially in the Interior. As models come
into better agreement, highs for the Interior are looking to
settle in and around the low 40s. Temperatures across the West
Coast look be near normal with highs in the upper 20s to low 30s.
Across the North Slope, temperatures are expected to steadily
decrease throughout the period, with temperatures starting in the
teens and decreasing to the single digits.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None
