...STRONG WINDS COMBINED WITH FALLING SNOW ALONG THE ALASKA 
PENINSULA ON SATURDAY...

A storm system over the Pacific will pass across the eastern 
Aleutians tonight, bringing rain and southerly winds gusting 
45 to 60 mph. Higher winds to 80 mph are in the Cold Bay area this
evening.

As the low continues into the eastern Bering Sea on Saturday, 
winds will shift to westerly and rain will change to snow. The 
combination of westerly winds gusting 40 to 55 mph combined with 
falling snow will reduce visibility to less than one mile at 
times. The worst conditions will be along the Bering Sea coast, 
including Cold Bay.
