...Snow Tonight through Thursday Night...

Rain and snow will continue to build into the Central/Eastern
Brooks Range and eastern Arctic Plains tonight and throughout the
day Thursday, transitioning over to predominant snow on Thursday.
Snowfall accumulations will be around 2 to 4 inches along the
Dalton Highway from MM220 over Atigun Pass to Sagwon, 2 to 4
inches along the Eastern Arctic Coast east of Prudhoe Bay, and 5
to 10 inches across higher elevations of the Brooks Range east of
the Dalton Highway. Winds will see an increase tonight into
Thursday, leading to areas of blowing snow at times. Should the
transition across lower elevations from rain over to snow prove
quicker or slower than expected, this would lead to locally higher
or lower totals across the eastern Arctic Coast.
