...RAIN/SNOW MIX POSSIBLE IN THE CENTRAL BROOKS RANGE THURSDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

An Arctic cold front extending from the high arctic will move
southeast towards mainland Alaska. This front will likely bring
chances of precipitation along higher terrain beginning Thursday.
Current model guidance supports the possibility of light rain
Friday morning, with a transition to snow expected towards the
evening and overnight hours. Storm total snowfall accumulations
could be 3 to 5 inches, however with surface temperatures above
freezing, the snow is not anticipated to stick to the road. If the
roads remain wet overnight Friday then there could be patches of
ice, due to air temperatures dipping into the 20s above.
