AS A MIGRATORY RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD THE ALASKA MAINLAND.
THE RIDGE WILL BUILD THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING AS IT MOVES
EAST...RIDGE AXIS THURSDAY EVENING WILL EXTEND FROM THE
WESTERN BROOKS RANGE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE YUKON TERRITORY.
BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING THE RIDGE DECREASE IN AMPLITUDE
AS IT MOVES ON EASTWARD INTO CANADA.

A STRONG UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR 54N/170E...ABOUT 150 NM
NORTHWEST OF SHEMYA...WILL MOVE EASTWARD TO NEAR THE SEWARD
PENINSULA BY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT WHILE WEAKENING...THEN OPEN UP
INTO A TROUGH OVER NORTHWEST ALASKA BY LATE FRIDAY EVENING. THIS
WILL RESULT IN A LIGHTER MAINLY WESTERLY FLOW PATTERN WHICH SHOULD
PERSIST OVER NORTHERN ALASKA THROUGH SUNDAY. A RATHER WEAK RIPPLE
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE INTERIOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...FOLLOWED
BY ANOTHER WEAKENING SHORT WAVE TROUGH WHICH WILL ARRIVE ON THE
WEST COAST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THEN WEAKEN FURTHER AS IT MOVES
ACROSS THE INTERIOR SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING.

AS THE FIRST WEAKENING SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD...
FOLLOWED BY THE MUCH STRONGER UPPER LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED
SURFACE SYSTEM...SNOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE WEST COAST
AND WESTERN INTERIOR WITH HEAVY SNOWFALL AMOUNTS EXPECTED
IN MANY AREAS.

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXPECTED STORM TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS THROUGH

EASTERN ARCTIC COAST AND EASTERN INTERIOR BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
THESE RESULTS AGREE FAIRLY WELL WITH THE GEFS ENSEMBLE MEAN

THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG SOUTH WINDS ACROSS THE WEST
COAST AND NORTHERN BERING SEA MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...ALONG WITH
