...Light Snow This Weekend...

Snow showers have begun across the central and eastern Interior.
Circle Hot Springs reported a quick 2.4 inches through 9am Friday
morning, and 3.0 inches was reported at Chicken. Heavier snow
bands embedded within this system will lead to widely varying snow
totals across the region. Snow will taper off Saturday night and
Sunday.

South of the Chatanika River, expect around 2 to 4 inches of
snow, including in Fairbanks. In Fairbanks, there is a 30% chance
for 4-6+ inches as the heaviest is only about 30 miles northeast.
This would only be possible if the localized heavier banding
moves overhead, which is possible.

The heaviest snow near Fairbanks will be in the hills off of
Chena Hot Springs Road where 4 to 7 inches are expected. Expect 3
to 6 inches in the White Mountains National Recreation Area and
heavier amounts up to 12 inches north and east of Eagle Summit.

From Manley Hot Springs to Bettles, expect 1 to 3 inches with
lesser amounts to the west.

From Nenana to Denali Park and Cantwell, expect 2 to 3 inches.

Expect 1 to 3 inches around Delta Junction, but up to 8 inches
along the Richardson Highway near Trims Camp.
