  • Winter Storm Warning

    Ends in 2 days 5 h

    When
    Until 10 PM AKDT Monday.
    Where
    Upper Koyukuk Valley.

    Issued for this forecast zone · National Weather Service Fairbanks AK

    What, impacts and precautions

    What

    Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 8 and 12 inches and a glaze of ice. Winds gusting as high as 30 mph.

    Impacts

    Travel could be very difficult.

    Additional details

    The snow will come in two waves. Snow is expected to continue into Sunday morning with 3 to 6 inches expected. There will be a break with lighter snow Sunday afternoon and night. On Monday, snow is likely in the morning with 2 to 4 inches expected but rain becomes more likely in the afternoon as warmer temperatures intrude and this will limit snowfall totals. Any rain will act as freezing rain and stick on surfaces below freezing. This could make for slick conditions early next week.

    Precautionary actions

    If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
