...Strong winds and snowfall may result in Blizzard conditions
Tuesday and Wednesday...

A storm system is expected to enter the Chukchi Sea early next
week. This will cause strong winds with gusts between 55 and 65
mph for coastal areas around Point Hope. These winds combined with
the expected snowfall could result in near blizzard conditions at
times.

In addition, localized ice shoves are a possibility with the new
ice starting to form along the Northern Kotzebue Sound.
