Overall:Seasonable weather conditions expected through the weekend and start of next week around Sitka/Baranof Island as a pair of fronts push into the panhandle, one front arriving on Wednesday night followed by another Thursday night, stalling and keeping rain across the area through Saturday night. Forecast confidence moving further out, but currently expecting a brief break in conditions on Sunday with a ridge of high pressure moving over the area. Another front and associated precipitation arrive Monday afternoon and looking towards next week, an active weather pattern will continue through at least Wednesday as an upper level low pressure sends waves of weak fronts across the area. Aviation: Flight conditions on Sunday will improve through the early afternoon, any lingering precipitation and MVFR flight conditions from departing system will diminish becoming predominate VFR by Sunday afternoon as ridging moves across the area. This brief break will last through Sunday afternoon, before mid to upper level cloud cover increases through Sunday night into Monday as another weak front arrives by Monday afternoon. By Monday afternoon through Wednesday, expecting general MVFR flight conditions with periods of VFR. Overland winds should remain 10kts or less, increasing up 15 to 20kts with each passing front.
