NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
1046 AM AKDT MON OCT 20 2025
FORECAST IS BASED ON FORECAST START TIME OF 1100 AKDT ON OCTOBER 20.
DISCUSSION
GENERALLY HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL KEEP NORTHERLY WINDS AND
PLENTY OF BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THERE IS A BROKEN DECK
OF CLOUDS (BKN) TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF NELSON ISLAND WHICH MIGHT DRIFT
OVER NIGHTMUTE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND BRING IN CEILING AROUND 2500 FT AT
TIMES, BUT OTHERWISE VFR FLYING WEATHER TODAY.
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT BUT THEN
MOVE TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY ALLOWING CLEARING SKIES AND
INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS FOR TUESDAY.
I WAS UNABLE TO CONTACT USCG USING PROVIDED NUMBER IN THIS SPOT FORECAST
REQUEST, SO THE MARINE INFORMATION REQUESTED (WAVE HEIGHT AND SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURE) ARE FOR ETOLIN STRAIT, JUST WEST OF NELSON ISLAND. PLEASE CONTACT
US IF THAT IS NOT WHAT IS NEEDED.
