Special Weather Statement issued January 22 at 6:01PM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK

There is increasing likelihood that a winter storm moving into
the area will impact the Central Interior, including Fairbanks,
Thursday into Friday, and lasting through the weekend. Potential
impacts from this storm include southerly winds of 25 to 35+ mph
and blowing snow, moisture-laden snowfall transitioning to rain,
and then a changeover back to more snowfall along a strong arctic
front Sunday into Monday. 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.
