.SYNOPSIS...
Active weather along the West Coast will continue through Friday
morning with coastal snowfall and inland rain, with upper ridging
pushing into the area by the weekend. Dry and warm conditions will
prevail into the weekend for Interior Alaska. Breezy, southerly
chinook winds across the Alaska Range will continue through
Thursday night into Friday morning before dissipating. Models are
in decent agreement through much of the extended period, with the
exception of the Canadian solution. The current system off the
Yukon Delta is forecast to lift northeast through the end of the
week, while high pressure builds over Interior Alaska. The next
upper storm system looks to move northward from the Bering Sea and
across the Aleutian Islands for early to mid next week, spreading
the next round of precipitation northward along the West Coast.

.DISCUSSION...
The West Coast will continue to see coastal snow/inland rain through
Friday morning, with high pressure spreading west out of the
interior by late Friday into the weekend. Snow looks to remain
confined to the coastal areas where temperatures will remain in
the upper 20s to lower 30s. Further inland, temperatures look to
be warm enough for rain. Precipitation will come to an end by
Friday afternoon, as the upper low responsible lifts northeast
away from the area. Additional snowfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches
may be possible along coastal areas of the Yukon Delta, while
areas near Nome could see an additional 2 to 5 inches. Winter
weather highlights will remain in effect through Thursday morning.
Upper ridging will build across the West Coast over the weekend,
with temperatures warming into the mid 30s to lower 40s. By early
next week, the next upper system will move northward across the
Aleutians and into the Bering Sea. This will once again bring
unsettled weather to the West Coast.
Interior regions of Alaska will remain dominated by high pressure
through the weekend. Much above normal heights associated with
the high pressure will allow for temperatures to warm above
normal, especially for Thursday and Friday. Highs will reach into
the 40s to perhaps a few low 60s through the end of the work-week.
An upper vort max will lift north across eastern Alaska over the
weekend which will work to break down the upper ridge. This will
cool temperatures slightly as we head into next week. Dry
conditions will prevail through much of the forecast period, with
a few showers possible early next week for the Interior. The main
concern for the short term looks to be strong winds across Alaska
Range, where winds will reach 40 to 50 mph, with higher gusts
possible. Winds look to subside Thursday night into Friday
morning.
Easterly flow will continue along the North Slope through Friday.
This will lead to periods of light snowfall and areas of fog along
the coast. Flow looks to shift northwesterly on Saturday as the
current upper system off the West Coast shifts north of the area.
Upslope flow will least to areas of light precipitation early next
week along the north slopes of the Brooks Range. Temperatures will
range from the 20s to 30s through the weekend, falling into the
teens and 20s for early next week.
Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None.
