It’s a possibility for the Hillside.  We are going to get a chilly blast of air this weekend in south central.  The area of low pressure currently sitting over south central is going to be slow to move out of the region.  We will see the southeasterly onshore moisture flow continue on into Thursday, so not much more than a few isolated rain showers will affect Anchorage.  The bulk of the rain will again be over the Prince William Sound and the eastern side of the Kenai Peninsula.  Friday the moisture flow will change and rain will become more widespread throughout the region.  Friday night colder air out of the northwest will begin to settle into the region.  As this colder air settles in we will see snow levels drop.  They are currently in the 4,000 to 5,000 foot range.  But by Saturday they could drop down to the 1,000 to 2,000 foot levels.  We will still have some moisture in place on Saturday.  We will still likely see rain showers in the Anchorage Bowl, but up on the Hillside it’s very likely Friday night and Saturday you could see a rain/snow mix.  Maybe even just snow at the higher elevations.  You’ve been warned.
