.DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER LEVEL COLD TROUGH IS STARTING TO DRIFT OFF SLOWLY TO THE
EAST BUT THE UPPER LOW WILL REMAIN OVER SOUTHCENTRAL AND DEEPEN INTO
THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH ROTATES IN OVER THE
CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THE COLD TEMPERATURES
WILL BE AROUND INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AS THE 250 MB JET STREAM
CONTINUES TO BE MOSTLY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA.

AT THE SURFACE A RAPIDLY MOVING SYSTEM WILL BRINGING SNOW INTO THE
SOUTHWESTERN  PORTIONS OF MAINLAND ALASKA THIS MORNING AND INTO THE
KENAI PENINSULA AND ANCHORAGE BY EARLY THIS MORNING WITH
ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES POSSIBLE IN THE SOUTHCENTRAL AREAS.

THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA AND INTENSIFY
BRING STRONG WINDS INTO THE NORTH GULF COAST AND KODIAK ISLANDS AREAS
TODAY. ANOTHER LOW SOUTHWEST OF ATTU WILL MOVE SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR
BY MONDAY AND INTENSIFY TO AROUND 985 MB. THIS WILL BRING STORMS AND
GALES OVER MUCH OF THE BERING SEA MONDAY.
