.DISCUSSION...
Mostly cloudy conditions along with mild to cool temperatures will
prevail this weekend. A low pressure system in the eastern Bering
Sea will move slowly to the Gulf of Alaska by Sunday with northerly
flow on the backside of the system. Cold air will begin to advect
eastward off the Bering Sunday morning and help to turn any leftover
rain showers to snow, especially along the Kuskokwim Delta Coast.
