...Several Strong Systems to bring a Warm Up to Southern 

Alaska...



The first in a series of strong storms will push through the 

Kenai Peninsula and over the Cook Inlet tonight. Expect gusty 

winds through the typical gaps of the Turnagain Arm and Matanuska 

Valley to continue through the evening. These winds will move

into Anchorage later tonight, but should only reach about 35 mph. 

The precipitation associated with the storm could initially start 

as a wintry mix, but it will quickly change over to rain as warmer

air takes over. Regardless, motorists should be prepared for slick 

conditions. The second system will be stronger as it tracks 

through the Alaska Peninsula late Sunday night. It will bring 

another round of heavy precipitation to the Gulf Coast, Kodiak 

Island, and parts of Bristol Bay. With even warmer air, most of 

this will fall as rain. Strong winds are expected around this 

system stretching from Cordova, through Prince William Sound, the 

Turnagain Arm, and into Southwest Alaska.
