Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1000 AKDT on October 15.
.DISCUSSION...

Gusty easterly winds associated with a front moving onshore from
the eastern Bering Sea will peak later this morning, then steadily
weaken and turn northerly this evening as the front weakens and as
the associated low pressure system moves into the Gulf. Periods
of rain showers moving into the Kuskokwim Delta Coast could cause
ceilings to vary throughout the day, but improvement is expected
later this evening into tonight as winds become more offshore.

For Thursday, a weak disturbance moving onshore from the west
will push another round of precipitation across the coastline,
mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Temperatures at the
surface could be cool enough for rain to mix with snow at times
during the evening, but no accumulation is expected. Ceilings and
visibility will trend down as the next round of precipitation
moves in. Winds will also turn westerly and begin to increase
through Thursday evening.
