Winter weather advisories extend over the Seward Peninsula and north to the Red Dog area. This low will push north, but the pattern brings in a couple more by the end of the week.

Meantime, a ridge of high pressure provided a great May day in Anchorage and Southcentral, with sunshine to start off.
