Special Weather Statement issued January 20 at 4:54PM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK

There is increasing likelihood that a winter storm moving into
the area will impact the Central Interior Thursday into Friday.
Potential impacts from this storm include southerly high winds of
25 to 35+ mph and blowing snow, heavy snowfall transitioning to
rain, and then a changeover back to more snowfall along a strong
arctic front into the weekend. Strong winds will remain out to the
west with a better chance of mixed precipitation out to the east.
Given the warmth of the airmass and the amount of liquid
precipitation, travel will become quite difficult late week into
the weekend.

There is still some uncertainty regarding the strength and
positioning of the storm. Stay tuned for future updates as details
are ironed out in future forecasts.
