.DISCUSSION...

Two shortwaves will drive much of the states weather through
Thursday. One shortwave is moving across the eastern Interior
this afternoon while a second shortwave will move across the west
coast then push inland on Wednesday and Thursday. Ridging will
build over the west coast Wednesday into Thursday. Models are in
good agreement in the short term but begin to diverge over the
weekend on placement and intensity of another low pressure system
approaching the west coast.

Surface...
A weather front associated with low moving north across eastern
Russia will move north across the Bering Sea this evening and
into the Southern Chukchi Sea tonight. High pressure will build
over the west coast Wednesday into Thursday.

West coast...A weather front is currently bringing snow, gusty
winds and blowing snow to the west coast. Snow will spread north
along the coast during the day on Tuesday and into the western
Interior Tuesday night. Locally heavy snow is possible Tuesday
afternoon into Tuesday night along the southern Seward Peninsula
coast. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for zone 211 for 6 to 9
inches of snow accumulation. High winds and snow have produced
blizzard conditions along the Bering strait. The winter weather
advisory has been upgraded to a blizzard warning for zone 213.
Wales has seen gusts to 65 mph this afternoon with heavy snow
reducing visibility to near zero. Winds will slowly decrease
overnight tonight. Blizzard warnings also out for zone 207 and

areas of the western brooks range could pick up 6 to 10 inches
before the snow tapers off Wednesday evening. Winter storm
warnings are in effect for zones 208 217 and 216. Heaviest snow
expected north of Galena. Snow will slowly taper off Wednesday
afternoon. High pressure will build over the west coast Wednesday
afternoon into Thursday.
