PUSHING A FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN BERING SEA TO THE WEST COAST
TONIGHT. FRONT WEAKENS AS IT MOVES TO THE WEST COAST AS THE FLOW IS
MORE ALONG THE FRONT THAN NORMAL TO IT. STRONGER FRONT TO ARRIVE
ALONG THE COAST FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW MOVES INTO THE CHUKCHI
PENINSULA. STRONG FRONT ACCOMPANYING THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BRING GALE
FORCE WINDS AND GOOD AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION. HIGH PRESSURE TO

MOVE THROUGH WESTERN ALASKA SATURDAY. THE LOW TO MOVE INTO THE
KOTZEBUE SOUND SATURDAY NIGHT. A SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO MOVE OUT OF
EASTERN ASIA SATURDAY AND FORM INTO A LOW OVER THE CENTRAL BERING
SEA. AS THIS WAVE DEVELOPS...NEAR GALE FORCE WINDS AND MODERATE

EASTERN BERING SUNDAY AND DROP INTO THE WESTERN GULF MONDAY WITH GALE
FORCE WINDS AND MODERATE AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION CONTINUING. IN THE
MEANTIME...ANOTHER FRONT WORKS INTO THE WESTERN ALEUTIAN CHAIN MONDAY
EVENING WITH THE LOW CENTERED OVER THE KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. ONCE

WITH A LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF SUNDAY MORNING. WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHERN ALASKA...WILL SEE CONTINUE UNSETTLED
