OVER THE SEWARD PENINSULA UP TO POINT HOPE BY FRIDAY MORNING.
OVERALL SOUTHERLY TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW EXTENDING FROM A LINE
FROM MCGRATH THROUGH TANANA TO EASTERN ARCTIC COAST AND
EAST...WHILE THE WEST COAST ENTRENCHED IN STRONGER NORTHERLY FLOW.
EMBEDDED IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVES WITH
THE FIRST MOVING NORTHWARD ACROSS THE ALASKA RANGE THROUGH
FAIRBANKS YESTERDAY EVENING AND PUSHING NORTHWARD TOWARDS EASTERN
BROOKS RANGE THIS MORNING BEFORE DISSIPATING. THE SECOND SHORTWAVE
WILL BE REMNANTS OF LOW OVER KODIAK AS IT MOVES NORTHWARD OVER THE
ALASKA RANGE BY FRIDAY MORNING THEN ONTO THE EASTERN BROOKS RANGE
BY SATURDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE THE LOW OVER SEWARD HAS MOVED
FURTHER WEST ALONG THE BERING STRAIT BY SATURDAY MORNING AND
BECOME ELONGATED OVER THE STRAIT AND ST LAWRENCE ISLAND BY SUNDAY

AT THE SURFACE...THE 988MB LOW JUST EAST OF KODIAK WILL WEAKEN AS
IT MOVES INLAND TOWARDS THE ALASKA RANGE BY THIS AFTERNOON WITH
A BROAD AREA OF 993MB IN THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN INTERIOR BY
FRIDAY MORNING. AS THIS LOW MOVES NORTHWARD IN THE INTERIOR THE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE BERING STRAIT WEAKENS WITH THE STRONGER WINDS
DECREASING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. THE 993 MB
LOW OVER WILL MOVE TOWARD THE EASTERN BROOKS RANGE AND THEN EXTEND
INTO A BROAD TROUGH FROM OLD CROWE TOWARDS ARCTIC VILLAGE AND
HUSLIA BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE UP ON THE ARCTIC...THE THE
1026MB HIGH AT 82N 115W WILL MOVE SOUTHWEST AND WEAKEN TO 1018MB

WEST COAST AND WESTERN INTERIOR...THE STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE WEST
COAST WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY TODAY WITH
LINGERING STRONG WIND HEADLINES ACROSS THE YUKON DELTA...ST

HOWEVER...THE WESTERN INTERIOR WILL HAVE INCREASING CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION STARTING THE AFTERNOON AND INCREASING WESTWARD
TOWARD THE MIDDLE YUKON VALLEYS AS WELL AS UPPER KOBUK AND NOATAK

STRAIT ON SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY THE EASTERN INTERIOR GETS BRIEF
RIDGING ON SUNDAY AS A LOW CONTINUES TO DEVELOP IN THE GULF OF
ALASKA WHICH WILL BRING EASTERLY FLOW TO EASTERN INTERIOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH INCREASED CHANCES OF RAIN. THE MODELS START TO
