Special Weather Statement issued January 19 at 9:16PM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK
Western Alaska will continue to see storm after storm as we progress through the week. There is increasing likelihood that a much stronger storm will impact the West Coast and Western Interior Thursday into Friday. Potential impacts from this storm include southerly high winds of 40 to 55+ 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. 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
Special Weather Statement issued January 19 at 2:01PM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK
A band of heavy snow will likely develop Monday night and Tuesday morning across the YK Delta and move north up across Norton Sound and to the Foothills of the Brooks Range. This band of snow will be forming along a narrow arctic front, with some uncertainty of the exact position of this frontal zone. However, wherever this band of snow sets up, locations along the front will see the potential of 6 to 12+ inches of snow. Currently, the best chance for the heaviest snow will be across the YK Delta to E Norton Sound to the Kobuk Valley
