Cold air northwest flow

A cold northwest flow off the gulf of Alaska will continue through Friday. Some flurries this morning shouldn't amount to much before things clear right out. Cold temperatures will continue until Friday when some warmer air makes it way in. Treeline lows will hit -20C. It's -19C up top with northeasterly winds 20km/ph. Outflow winds should become more moderate by Friday. A larger storm is forecast to begin Sunday-Monday as the flow becomes more Westerly.
