...ACTIVE WEATHER EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND IN WESTERN ALASKA...

THE NORTH PACIFIC JET STREAM WILL CONTINUE TO DIRECT A SERIES OF
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS INTO THE BERING SEA. ANOTHER VIGOROUS
LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN BERING SEA ON FRIDAY NIGHT WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CHUKOTSK PENINSULA AND INTO THE
CHUKCHI SEA BY SATURDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL SOME

OF WESTERN ALASKA IS LIKELY ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THIS WILL BE
RIGHT ON THE HEELS OF A WEATHER SYSTEM WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO
IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE WEST COAST TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

WITH THE LOW TRACKING OFFSHORE WESTERN ALASKA...THIS WILL RESULT
IN A LONG FETCH AND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
ACROSS THE BERING AND CHUKCHI SEAS. THIS WILL BRING HEAVY SURF AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF COASTAL FLOODING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY TO SOME
SOUTH AND WESTERLY FACING COASTS OF THE BERING AND CHUKCHI
SEAS...INCLUDING NORTON SOUND.

IN ADDITION...THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING A MIXED BAG OF
PRECIPITATION TO THE WEST COAST AND THE WESTERN INTERIOR. HEAVY
SNOW...FREEZING RAIN...AND RAIN ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION.
PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY REMAIN ALL SNOW NORTH OF THE SEWARD
PENINSULA AND IN THE BROOKS RANGE...BUT WARM AIR BEING PUSHED
NORTHWARD MAY CAUSE THE THE PRECIPITATION TO MIX OR CHANGE TO RAIN
TO THE SOUTH.

WATCHES WILL BE ISSUED FOR THIS HAZARDOUS WEEKEND WEATHER AS
CONFIDENCE INCREASES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
