THE NEXT 48 HOURS WITH THE GFS A FEW MB DEEPER...MINIMAL IMPACT ON
LAND AREAS. NEXT SYSTEM WHICH STARTS TO IMPACT WESTERN ALEUTIANS THU

GENERATING SOME WEATHER OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE. IN
THE WEST A LOW BETWEEN ST. MATTHEW AND ST. PAUL ISLANDS WILL WEAKEN

WEAK LOW IN NW GULF SLOWLY DISSIPATES THU AS IT MOVES NEAR THE BARREN

THROUGH THU. SYSTEM JUST SOUTH OF DUTCH HARBOR WILL ALSO PRODUCE RAIN
ANS SOME SOUTHEAST WINDS TONIGHT FOR E. AL AND AK PEN. FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECOND ALEUTIAN SYSTEM MOVES INTO WESTERN AL
