AVIATION

PANC...VFR conditions with ceilings above 5000 ft and light northerly winds will persist through this evening. Vicinity mixed precipitation showers are also possible this afternoon/early evening, although the bulk of any shower activity should remain east of the terminal. Fog and/or low stratus may also develop tonight as winds at and near the surface slacken while low-level moisture lingers underneath a transient ridge moving over the region. This introduces potential for IFR visibility through Saturday morning. Later on Saturday, any fog would be scoured out by increasing northerly winds. Precipitation chances then increase by Saturday afternoon with the arrival of another frontal system. Any steady precipitation would likely fall as freezing rain, with a glaze of ice accumulation possible.
