Special Weather Statement issued January 21 at 2:21PM 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. Over a foot of snow possible for
higher terrain locations along the Dalton Highway and from
Bettles west. 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.
