reporting rain. Precipitation will mostly taper off through
tonight, although some showers may linger around Prince William
Sound. Much warmer temperatures have spread across most of
Southcentral, with the Copper River Basin valleys and Thompson
Pass being the only remaining locations reporting sub zero
temperatures.

Around midnight tonight, another surface front will reach Kodiak
Island, bringing more precipitation and increased southeasterly
winds for Monday. The island can expect to see precipitation
initially start as snow with a rain/snow mix possible at times,
and then likely a transition to rain in the afternoon. A surface
low is forecast to develop late Monday morning/early afternoon
near Kodiak Island and the Barren Islands. The system will
continue spreading precipitation north to the Kenai Peninsula
later Monday morning/early afternoon, and then to Prince William
Sound later Monday afternoon. Southeasterly cross-barrier flow
will help to keep the western Kenai Peninsula and Anchorage Bowl
on the drier side, with the Copper River Basin staying drier as
well since the low looks to dissipate over the north Gulf coast on
Tuesday. The eastern Kenai Peninsula and western Prince William
Sound will see the bulk of the precipitation with this system.

There should be a brief respite later on Tuesday while the next
system approaches from the Bering Sea. Models are hinting at
another (weaker) front to reach Kodiak Island sometime late
Tuesday night, however, model agreement begins to diverge on
Wednesday with respect to the evolution of this feature.

.SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days
1 through 3: Tonight through Wednesday)...

A 965 mb low centered just south of Tanaga Island this evening
will track north into the central Bering Sea tonight, bringing
continued active weather to the region. Early Monday morning, cold
air wrapping in around the south side of the low will bring a
blast of storm force winds to portions of the central and eastern
Aleutians. The strongest swath of winds is expected to track
between Atka and Nikolski, the western and eastern edge of the
winds, respectively, just clipping these two communities. Though
the a chance for a sporadic gust to 75 mph remains, the most
likely peak wind gust is forecast to be in the 60 to 70 mph range
for these two locations. As a result, the threat of high winds has
decreased and the High Wind Watch has been canceled.

Further north, the low's front pushes into Southwest Alaska also
on Monday morning, leading to low visibilities caused by blowing
snow. The threat will be focused on coastal areas west of
Dillingham (including the Kuskokwim Delta coast) and in interior
Bristol Bay, where winds will be strongest. Some portions of the
Kuskokwim Delta coast are not favored for blowing snow - in
particular the section between Eek and Quinhagak, where snow will
be blocked by the Kilbuck and Ahklun Mountains in the easterly
flow along the front. The blowing snow threat will diminish
through late morning into Monday afternoon as the front pushes
inland. While some snow showers will linger after the passage of
the front, southerly flow will bring in warmer air (around 30
degrees) which will make conditions less conducive for blowing
snow.

Low pressure will linger in the central Bering Sea through mid
week, drawing up a series of strong shortwaves into the eastern
Aleutians and Southwest Alaska. In particular, another likely
storm force low tracks through the eastern Aleutians and Alaska
Peninsula Monday night, followed by a weaker low along a similar
track on Tuesday night. Though southerly flow continues to bring
in warmer air to the region, still expecting precipitation to fall
as both rain and snow along the Aleutians and AKPEN, with
temperatures in the low 30s keeping precipitation all snow for the
rest of Southwest Alaska.

.LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Thursday through
Sunday)...

A weakening upper-level low centered over Chukotka extends a
trough axis across the Alaska Peninsula and into the Gulf which
passes over Southcentral Thursday. This feature is expected to
bring gale force winds across the Bering and measurable snowfall
across Southern Alaska. An active pattern continues Friday morning
when a North Pacific low south of Kodiak Island progresses north,
pushing gale force wind across the Gulf, and bringing snow to the
northern Gulf coast through Saturday afternoon. This is followed
by several upper level shortwaves extending from a low complex
over the eastern Bering, which pass over Southwest and
Southcentral through Sunday afternoon.

.AVIATION...

PANC...Snow across Anchorage will gradually taper off the
remainder of the evening. There's some uncertainty with regards to
if the MVFR CIG will be able to clear, but thinking is that by
sometime tomorrow low/mid-level clouds will be able to clear ahead
of the next front. Another front will bring snow to the area
Monday evening/overnight, but downsloping and lack of lift should
keep most snow out of Anchorage, including ANC. VFR conditions
should prevail for most of Monday with a north wind around 10 kt.
