AVIATION

PANC...VFR conditions with ceilings above 5000 ft and light northerly winds will persist through much of the TAF period. A wintry mix of precipitation will quickly move over the terminal this afternoon. A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is possible initially, with ceilings and visibility dropping to MVFR, before the precipitation changes over to freezing rain. Temperatures gradually increase tonight, so lingering precipitation eventually turns over to all rain. A light glaze to a tenth of an inch of ice is possible. LLWS is also likely tonight through Monday morning as southeasterly wind aloft increase ahead of a front lifting north toward Prince William Sound.

Ceilings and visibility improve back to VFR after midnight with diminishing precipitation. Another round of light precipitation is possible on Sunday, with more uncertain timing. This is expected to fall as a mix of rain and snow with minimal chances for freezing rain. Ceilings and visibility potentially drop back to MVFR during heavier precipitation, especially if snow.
