| Description: |
A second front approaches the West Coast this evening causing another round of gusty southerly winds and snow. This next front will be weaker and cooler than the first. Gusts peak around 25 to 35 mph south of the Bering Strait and up to 30 mph north of the Bering Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause more precipitation to fall as snow rather than rain, but there will still be areas of rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys. Snow totals will generally be 1 to 2 inches for most areas, but greater totals of 4 to 7 inches are possible along the Southern Seward Peninsula, especially along south facing slopes. |

| Description: |
A front along the West Coast continues to move east through Thursday afternoon reaching much of the Western Interior Thursday evening. This front is bringing a line of rain and snow across the West Coast and Western Interior through early Friday. What snow does fall will be quite wet and partially melted at times due to high temperatures in the 30s. Total snow accumulations will generally be around 1 to 3 inches. Southerly winds peak around 25 to 35 late Thursday before gradually weakening overnight. A second front approaches the West Coast Friday evening causing another round of gusty southerly winds and snow. This next front will be weaker and cooler than the first. Winds with this second front will be weaker, especially north of the Bering Strait. Gusts peak around 25 to 35 mph south of the Bering Strait and up to 30 mph north of the Bering Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause more of the precipitation to fall as snow rather than rain, but there will still be areas of rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys. Snow totals will generally be 1 to 2 inches for most areas, but greater totals of 4 to 7 inches are possible along the Southern Seward Peninsula, especially along south facing slopes. |
