...STRONG STORM TO BRING GUSTY WINDS, SNOW, RAIN, AND FREEZING
RAIN TO COASTAL AREAS THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...

A deep storm developing in the Pacific is expected to cross into
the eastern Bering Sea between late Saturday night and midday
Sunday. Confidence in the overall storm track has increased, but
some uncertainty remains. Now, the most likely storm track is from
the eastern Aleutians Sunday morning to near Nunivak Island by
Monday afternoon.

For the Eastern Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula, the most likely
impact is strong southeasterly winds becoming southwesterly as the
storm passes overhead sometime Sunday afternoon. With higher
confidence in the track, the storm`s timing and strength will
determine the severity of the impacts, so stay tuned to the
forecast for more details.

For Southwest Alaska, the most likely scenario is gusty
southeasterly winds from the Western Capes north into the greater
Y-K Delta region. Precipitation along the leading storm front is
likely to be snow, but a transition to freezing rain and rain is
expected as the storm moves north. Given the recent snow and cold
temperatures, rain falling onto frozen or snow-covered ground is
likely to create difficult travel conditions. The scenario in
which the low moves near Nunivak Island is more likely at this
point, but the limited fetch and lower tide cycle should help
mitigate storm surge from this storm. Even so, the potential for
minor coastal flooding in the Kuskokwim Delta remains. Stay tuned
to the forecast as we continue to monitor this system.
