141 PM AKST SUN FEB 22 2015

.DISCUSSION...
MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT THROUGH ABOUT 60 HOURS. THE UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE OVER THE STATE IS GOING TO BE SHOVED EASTWARD BY THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY NEAR KAMCHATKA PENINSULA. THIS LOW
WILL MOVE NORTHEAST INTO FAR EAST RUSSIA AND PUSH THE RIDGE
EASTWARD INTO CANADA BY MID WEEK.

THE WARM AIR AND THE FREEZING RAIN HAS CAUSED HAVOC OVER NORTHERN
ALASKA THIS WEEKEND FOR NEARLY ALL TYPES OF TRAVEL. COLDER AIR
WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE STATE BY MONDAY AND THEN EXPAND
EASTWARD.

THE NEXT PUSH OF MOISTURE WILL OCCUR OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR
TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS WILL LIKELY BE MOSTLY RAIN BUT WILL HAVE
SOME AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN MIXED IN EAST OF FAIRBANKS. ANYTHING
AFTER MONDAY EVENING WILL BE ALL SNOW FOR NORTHERN ALASKA.

THE LOW MOVING NORTHEAST AND THE HIGH NORTH OF THE ARCTIC COAST
WILL CAUSE A PINCH IN THE GRADIENT NEAR THE ALCAN BORDER ON THE
ARCTIC COAST. A BLIZZARD WATCH IS BEING ISSUED FOR THE FAR EASTERN
PORTION OF THE ARCTIC COAST.

WINDS ARE WINDING DOWN ON THE WEST COAST THROUGH TONIGHT. SNOW AND
BLOWING SNOW ACROSS THE WESTERN ARCTIC WILL END THIS EVENING AS
THE SNOW TAPERS OFF AND THE WINDS DIMINISH.
