Expect a really mixed-bag of flight conditions along the flight-path as it
progresses in and out of the influence of an approaching frontal system
for the Alaskan portion and a low pressure center that will be moving over
the Haida Gawaii / southwest British Columbia area through late tonight.
Generally, expect as low as primarily MVFR category flight-conditions
with periodic dips into the IFR category through the period under the
influence of these weather features. SFC winds will be gusty this morning
around Port Hardy, BC, light through the entire timeframe over the Alaskan
portion. LLWS magnitudes of up to around 30 kt centered at around 2 kft
aloft out of a generally southerly direction are in store late this
evening for the Alaskan Portion.

Consult Environmnet & Climate Change Canada if you have any questions
about the southern portion of the flight-path, which is over
Canadian airspace...
