...PERIODS OF SNOW MIXING WITH FREEZING RAIN THIS MORNING THROUGH
TONIGHT...

A strong low pressure system south of the Aleutians is pushing a 
front northward into Southwest Alaska this morning. Early 
observations have reported an initial push of snow, transitioning
to freezing rain over areas of the Alaska Peninsula, then to plain
rain. Focus areas for freezing rain potential remain for Bristol 
Bay early this morning, and areas of the Kuskokwim Delta and Lower
Kuskokwim Valley early this afternoon. Periods of freezing rain 
are expected to be brief as this front is injecting warmer air 
into the region quickly. Temperatures are expected to warm above 
freezing by late Sunday afternoon and allow precipitation to 
change to all rain.
