...GUSTY WINDS, BLOWING SNOW, AND SNOW TRANSITIONING TO RAIN
EXPECTED FOR BRISTOL BAY CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

A strong mid-November storm will continue to bring potentially
hazardous conditions through tomorrow evening. Please use caution
while traveling as gusty winds, blowing snow and rain on snow
could lead to difficult conditions.

As the storm`s front continues to move inland today, strong winds
gusting from 40 to 50 mph and visibilities as low as 1/2 mile
will continue to impact communities from Lake Iliamna to as far
west as Koliganek and New Stuyahok through this evening.
Forecast snow amounts range from 3-6 inches and will be affected
by how quickly snow transitions to rain. The low will move onshore
late this evening north of Goodnews Bay.

Behind the low, the wind direction changes from the southwest to
northwest. This change in wind direction will impact communities
along the coast, from Togiak south along the AK Pen and eastward
to Port Heiden bringing weak but continued onshore flow through
the weekend. The transition to all rain is expected for much of
Bristol Bay by mid-afternoon today lasting into the overnight
hours. Cooler air wrapping back around the low could lead to
additional light snow mid to late tomorrow morning.
