Accumulating wet snow continues through tonight into Thursday,
before tapering off Thursday night into Friday morning. Several
inches of wet snow and gusty northeasterly winds are expected
across much of the North Slope. Accumulations up to 4 inches
expected for most of the Arctic Plains and along the Western
Arctic Coast, with lesser amounts expected along the Eastern
Arctic coast where on- shore winds are expected to keep
temperatures slightly warmer resulting in more of a rain/snow mix.
The heaviest amounts occur in the Brooks Range, including Atigun
and Anaktuvuk Pass, where totals will be around 4 to 8 inches.
Drier conditions expected this weekend into next week. Hunters,
recreators, and travelers are encouraged to prepare for wintry
conditions through Friday morning and to monitor the latest
forecast for updates.
