..SEVERAL DAYS OF SNOW EXPECTED
SNOW WILL DEVELOP FRIDAY NIGHT FROM DOT LAKE TO THE ALCAN BORDER
AND IT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF BREAK
ON MONDAY DURING THE DAY, THEN AN ADDITIONAL ROUND OF LIGHT SNOW
ON MONDAY NIGHT FROM TOK EAST.
OVERALL, SNOWFALL FROM FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON
LOOKS TO TOTAL 3 TO 6 INCHES. THIS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK.
HEAVY SNOW PREVIOUSLY FORECASTED FOR SUNDAY NIGHT LOOKS TO BE
LIGHTER IN NATURE AS FORECAST MODELS HAVE SHIFTED THE MAIN FRONT
FURTHER SOUTHEAST, AWAY FROM THE ALASKA HIGHWAY.
SNOWFALL LOOKS TO BE VERY FINE IN NATURE AND WILL LIKELY NOT
ACCUMULATE EFFICIENTLY. WINDS WILL BE BREEZY FROM THE NORTHWEST
WITH GUSTS 15 TO 20 MPH ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SOME DRIFTING
SNOW IS EXPECTED, BUT IT WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE
SNOWFALL BEING FINE GRAINS AND NOT FLUFFY.
