LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Saturday through Tuesday)
An active pattern persists Saturday through Tuesday. An unseasonably strong North Pacific storm will have crossed into the Bering Sea on Friday, bringing heavy rain and storm-force winds to the Aleutian Chain as far east as Unalaska; meanwhile, precipitation continues across Southcentral Alaska, maintaining cloudy skies and precipitation through Saturday (some areas may see a short respite late Saturday).
By Sunday and into Monday, the low in the Bering Sea will merge into the broad low-pressure system anchored over Mainland Alaska, pulling cooler air back into the region from the north and spreading moderate precipitation across Southcentral; precipitation will likely change into a rain-snow mix across southern Alaska. While specific timing remains unclear at this time, the overall pattern suggests continued unsettled weather for both Southcentral and Southwest Alaska with temperatures likely dropping below seasonal averages.

AVIATION
PANC...Light snow will linger in the area through mid morning as ceilings are maintained at MVFR to VFR levels. Cloud cover remains below 5000 ft throughout the day before a rain/snow mix moves into the region this afternoon. Ceilings will gradually decrease from VFR to MVFR this afternoon then to IFR this evening. Once precip moves in, visibilities will slightly drop as well. Mixed precip transitions to all snow this evening as well and is maintained overnight tonight.
