SURFACE...A 973MB LOW IN IN THE CENTRAL BERING SEA WILL SPIN NORTH
TO PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND...THEN INTO THE INTERIOR OVERNIGHT. THE
FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL LIE SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
EXTENDING FROM AROUND SLEETMUTE TO OLD CROW. GOOD MOISTURE FEED

CORNER OF THE STATE AND POSSIBLY SOME FLURRIES INTO THE FAIRBANKS

ARCTIC COAST AND PLAIN...STRATUS AND FOG RULE THE DAY AGAIN. NOT
EXPECTING THE STRATUS TO GO AWAY. THE GOES MVFR PROBABILITY 4KM
SHOWS HIGH PROBABILITY OF MVFR OVER MOST OF THE ARCTIC AND
OFFSHORE AREAS. THE NPP VIIRS DAY NIGHT BAND FROM 18/1736Z
CONFIRMS SOLID CLOUD DECK OVER THE AREA WITH MULTIPLE DECKS OF
CLOUDS. EASTERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY

OVER THE LOWER YUKON DELTA. WINDS GENERALLY 5 TO 15 MPH FROM THE
NORTH. COLD AIR MOVES IN ALONG THE COAST BEGINNING EARLY SATURDAY
