...STRONG WESTERLY WINDS AND SNOW ACROSS THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ON
WEDNESDAY...

Benign conditions across the Eastern Aleutians are expected to
deteriorate through the morning hours today. A polar low dropping
southward through the Bering will bring strengthening westerly
winds as well as increasing precipitation. Furthermore, cooler
temperatures associated with the low will promote a transition
from rain to snow. Expect wind gusts as high as 45 mph and total
snow accumulations of around an inch or two. Snow should come to
an end by or before midday while gusty winds linger into Wednesday
evening.
