...MORE STORMY WEATHER FRIDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND FOR THE WEST
COAST AND PARTS OF THE WESTERN INTERIOR AND BROOKS RANGE...
ANOTHER WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED LATE THIS WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. A STRONG FRONT WITH EAST WINDS TO GALE FORCE WILL SUPPORT
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW AS EARLY AS THURSDAY NIGHT
ACROSS THE YK DELTA. THE FRONT WILL QUICKLY MOVE NORTH AND BRING
HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW TO THE SEWARD PENINSULA AND THE BERING
STRAIT COAST FRIDAY. WARMER AIR SHIFTS ACROSS THE YK DELTA TO
SEWARD PENINSULA WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW POSSIBLE AS FAR NORTH
AS THE SOUTHERN SEWARD PENINSULA BY SATURDAY. HEAVY SNOW WILL MOVE
INTO THE W BROOKS RANGE TO THE LISBURNE PENINSULA, IMPACTING
LOCATIONS IN THE KOBUK, NOATAK, AND SELAWIK VALLEYS, AS WELL.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN SNOW TOTALS AT THIS JUNCTURE, BUT
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE FOR THE SOUTHERN SEWARD
PENINSULA NORTH TO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE BROOKS RANGE, AS
WELL AS ACROSS THE NULATO HILLS AND NORTHERN INTERIOR VALLEYS.
THIS STORMY PATTERN LOOKS TO BE THE LONGER TERM DOMINANT WEATHER
REGIME HEADING WELL INTO THE LONG- RANGE.
