ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - An omega blocking high in Canada is sending a lot of fast-moving weather waves into the state of Alaska. The most severe weather is occurring in the Interior where a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until Sunday morning. Snow and freezing rain are expected with some areas likely to see up to 2 inches of snow and about one tenth of an inch of ice accumulations. In the meantime, the Eastern Alaska Range is under a Wind Advisory until Sunday afternoon.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The transition to the fall season this weekend went relatively quiet and smooth with no active areas of weather across the state. High pressure is dominating most of the mainland and as a result, most regions are able to enjoy the emerging golden foliage on the trees under sunshine and blue skies. Add a little bit of snow at the higher elevations of the mountain ranges and it just doesn’t get any better. This weather pattern is expected to last for a few days.

While winds are still a little gusty, it was a well-deserved break from the havoc the winds caused the region several days earlier.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The weekend started on a wet note with the state’s largest city of Anchorage receiving well over half an inch of rain on Saturday. Seward was also one of the wet spots, where close to an inch of rain fell as of late Saturday evening. More wet weather is expected from a stalled trough as it continues to move upward.
