A low approaching the West Coast this afternoon and evening will cause another round of gusty southerly winds and snow to impact the area. Winds from this system will be slightly weaker than the previous front earlier in the week. Gusts peak around 25 to 35 mph south of the Bering Strait and up to 30 mph north of the Bering Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause more precipitation to fall as snow rather than rain, but there will still be areas of rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys. Snow totals will generally be 1 to 3 inches for most areas, but greater totals of 4 to 7 inches are possible along the Southern Seward Peninsula and Western Brooks Range, especially along south facing slopes.
