* WHAT…Snow expected. Total snow accumulations around 2 to 3
inches. Northerly winds gusting as high as 40-50 mph. Visibilities
reduced to one half mile or less at times due to blowing snow.
* WHERE…Pribilof Islands.
* WHEN…From midnight tonight to 8 AM AKDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS…Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow
could significantly reduce visibility at times.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…The worst conditions are likely from very
early Saturday morning through early Saturday afternoon as a
compact low moves over the Pribilof Islands. However, there is
still a question of whether winds will be strong enough to produce
sustained periods of visibilities at one-half mile or less on
Saturday. Although showers will be less intense after Saturday
afternoon, strong northerly winds will persist and may continue to
loft snow and reduce visibilities through Sunday morning.
