* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta coast and Nunivak Island.

* WHEN...From 10 PM this evening to 10 AM AKDT Monday.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Southeast winds develop this evening ahead of a front expected to bring snow to the Kuskokwim Delta tonight.

By late morning, the front exits east and steady snowfall will transition to snow showers. In combination with warming temperatures, this will lead to an end to blizzard conditions by midday Monday.
