SHOULD BE ABLE TO ELIMINATE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR ZONE 121 ON AFTER FORECAST PACKAGE. STRONG PRESSURE RISES ON THE BACKSIDE AND COLD ADVECTION IS CONTINUING UP COOK INLET AND ACROSS THE SOUTHERN KENAI PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT COLD ADVECTION SHOULD SPREAD TO THE ANCHORAGE BOWL/NORTH KENAI PENINSULA THIS AFTERNOON. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF OVER MUCH OF SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE INTERIOR. EXPECT MAY SEE AREAS OF PATCHY FOG OVER SOUTHCENTRAL TONIGHT AS RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE AREA. STRONG NW TO SW WINDS OVER THE WESTERN GULF AND COOK INLET WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THIS EVENING.
