The wider storm

A low pressure system moving into Southwest Alaska from the Bering Sea, sending a layer of warm air aloft overtop sub-freezing surface temperatures. This resulted in a light mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain for a number of locations across the Kuskokwim Delta and Bristol Bay area. Accumulating ice was minimal for this event.
