A warm front moving into the Interior from the west will bring a
quick hit of widespread snowfall Sunday night and Monday morning,
lingering into the afternoon.

Expect:
– Snow accumulations in the range of 1 to 3 inches. Higher snow
totals are locally possible across the Upper Chena Basin.

– In addition, gusty southwest winds may cause minor blowing snow,
with more widespread blowing snow over the highway summits, especially
Eagle Summit on the Steese Highway.

– Likelihood of slick roadways due to potentially snow covered
roads.

Residents are advised to use extra caution Monday morning as
roads may be slick for the morning commute.

Winds will gust to 25 mph through valleys Monday night, causing
isolated areas of blowing snow. Additional rounds of snowfall are
likely Tuesday through Thursday with the highest amounts likely
across the southern Interior.
