A low pressure center moved north
across the western Alaska peninsula and
the associated weather front moved
north over the Alaska Range resulting
in strong winds through Isabel Pass on
the Richardson Highway. Blizzard con-
ditions, reported by a motorist, were
reported during the night of the 9th in
the pass, as the front was approaching
and temperatures were remaining cold
enough to allow to blowing and drifting
snow. temperatures steadily warmed
overnight though a lesser restriction
in blowing snow was noted by the State
of Alaska Department of Transportation
report the morning of the 10th. The
occlusion also created heavy snow as
reported
Another area where strong wind and a
likely blizzard occurred was around
Cape Romanzof, which was near to where
the low pressure center tracked once it
crossed the western Alaska Peninsula.
The occlusion also produced heavy snow
over the western interior of Alaska, as
the Galena Co-operative Observer
reported 9.0 inches. The snow began at
0800 am AST on the 10th and reached 6
inches by 1700 AST on the 10th. High

The "Election Day" storm originated as
a large Bering Sea storm. This system
produced a strong pressure gradient as
it moved toward the Gulf Coast of
Alaska. It intensified as it moved
through the Eastern Aleutians and
approached the Bristol Bay coastline.
As the low center moved over the Cook
Inlet region, it split. The main center
continued northeast while the residual
center moved into Prince William Sound.
The strong gradient in advance of the
front along the North Gulf Coast
produced blizzard conditions in
Southeast Prince William Sound and
Thompson Pass. The strong pressure
gradient and cold advection that
occurred around the back side of this
storm resulted in areas of blowing snow
and blizzard conditions along the
Bering Sea coast. The collision of the
cold air over the South Central Region,
with the strong moist advection from
the Gulf of Alaska, resulted in the
heavy snow along the Alaska Range.
Significant snow fell elsewhere in
South Central Alaska.
Highlights of this storm include:
Warning level winds occurred across the
Alaska Peninsula, the southern portion
of Kodiak Island, the Anchorage Hill-
side and Turnagain Arm. Blizzard condi-
tions occurred over the Bristol Bay
coast, the Kuskokwim Delta, in South-
east Prince William Sound and in
Northeast Prince William Sound at
Thompson Pass. Heavy snow occurred
along the Alaska Range in the Susitna
Valley, in the Talkeetna Mountains of
the Copper River Basin, and Northeast
Prince William Sound at Thompson Pass.
Wind advisory conditions occurred
across the Aleutian Chain, the Pribilof
Islands, the Matanuska Valley and the
Kenai Peninsula. Advisory level snow
fell across the Kenai Peninsula, the
Anchorage area, the Matanuska Valley,
the Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol Bay.

A strong low over the Alaska Peninsula
had a front extending from it across
Bristol Bay to southern Prince William
Sound. The strong push of moisture into
south central Alaska resulted in heavy
snow along the Alaska Range with accu-
mulations ranging from 8 to 25 inches.
The strong pressure gradient produced
high winds along the Chugach mountains.
The strong wind with moderate snowfall
in Thompson Pass resulted in a blizzard
through the pass Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday morning. This strong
gradient also resulted in the typical
high winds along the upper hillside of
Anchorage and along Turnagain Arm.
Winds peaked at 76 mph at Glenn Alps
before the sensor quit reporting peak
winds, and peaked at 85 mph at McHugh
Creek along Turnagain Arm.

A low pressure center which originated
in the north Pacific Ocean moved into
the southern Bering Sea on the evening
of the November 18th. The low center
deepened as it moved north northeast to
about 75 miles east of Saint Paul on
the morning of the 19th. The low center
continued north, passing between
Nunivak Island and St. Matthew Island
during the evening of the 19th. The
associated weather front moved across
the Alaska Peninsula into the South-
central Region on the morning of the
19th. Strong southeasterly winds
resulted in Turnagain Arm, the
Anchorage Hillside and Portage Valley.
A west to southwest fetch across the
Bering Sea, combined with high astrono-
mical tide, resulted in coastal
flooding across the west coast of the
state.

A storm developed south of the central
Aleutian Islands. The storm moved
northeast then northward as it passed
into the Bering Sea around 6:00 PM AST
on the 26th. The low center continued
to intensify as it moved between
Nunivak Island and St. Matthew Island.
A strong pressure gradient ahead of the
associated weather front resulted in
high winds through, and west of, the
Chugach Mountains. Several downed trees
were reported on the Anchorage
Hillside; some downed trees damaged
homes in the city. This storm was asso-
ciated with a pronounced southerly
fetch which brought warm moist air into
the Southcentral Region. Rain fell
throughout much of Southcentral except
in the northern zones where orographi-
cally enhanced snowfall rates left
several feet of wet snow over the
Northern Susitna Valley. Some residents
reported snowfall rates of upwards of 3
to 4 inches per hour on the 27th and
