...LIGHT SNOW AND BREEZY NORTH WINDS FOR THE MONDAY MORNING
COMMUTE...
SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE ANCHORAGE BOWL LATE SUNDAY NIGHT,
WITH UP TO TWO INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION, BEFORE TAPERING OFF
MONDAY MORNING. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE BY MONDAY
MORNING, ALLOWING FOR LOCALIZED AREAS OF DRIFTING AND BLOWING
SNOW, ESPECIALLY ACROSS JBER, GOVERNMENT HILL, DOWNTOWN ANCHORAGE,
AND WEST ANCHORAGE. WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND ZERO DEGREES, THE
SNOW WILL BE LIGHT AND POWDERY IN NATURE AND WILL BE EASILY LOFTED
BY WINDS AND VEHICLES, LEADING TO THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCED VISIBILITY AT TIMES ON AREA ROADWAYS.
ALTHOUGH THIS ROUND OF SNOW TAPERS OFF BY LATE MONDAY MORNING, A
SECOND ROUND OF SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON OR
EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE IS STILL
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TIMING AND EXACT TRACK OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM;
HOWEVER, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW
ACCUMULATION ACROSS ANCHORAGE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
