Area forecast discussion, Feb 18, 3:48 PM AKST, 13 hours 29 minutes before
Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 348 PM AKST Sun Feb 18 2018 .DISCUSSION... Active weather pattern continues over northern Alaska. The first in a series of strong winter systems affecting northern Ala ska is winding down with snow, freezing rain and strong winds decreasing over western Alaska this evening and over night. Conditions have improved over the lower YK Delta and Seward Peninsula and will improve this evening over Kotzebue Sound and Western Brooks Range later tonight. A occluded front currently along a Kotzebue to McGrath line will continue to weaken and move north and east into the western and central interior where light snow in the 1 to 2 inch range is expected. Upslope snow will continue especially in the southwestern Brooks Range tonight and Monday where an additional 3 to 5 inches are expected. The second strong winter system begins impacting the Lower YK Delta late tonight and Monday morning with strong winds, 1 to 2 inches of snow, as well up to one tenth of an inch of freezing rain in the lower YK Delta, and eastern Norton Sound. Winds in these areas are expected to gust in the 40 to 50 mph range. Heavier snow in the 3 to 5 inch range impacts northern Norton Sound and the Seward Peninsula Monday and will continue into Tuesday. Light freezing rain may mix with the now as far north as Nome. Very strong winds through the Bering Strait and on St Lawrence Island are expected to develop tomorrow and continue into Tuesday with wind gusts to 70 mph possible in these areas. The winds combined with falling snow will create blizzard conditions on St Lawrence Island, the Bering Strait as well as Kotzebue Sound and along the coast northward to Point Hope. The strong front moves rapidly east from Point Hope to Bristol Bay Tuesday morning to Prudhoe Bay to Fairbanks Tuesday evening and into Canada Wednesday morning. The front will bring a quick shot of light snow over the western and central interior where 1 to 2 inches of snow are expected. A third system moves north into the central Bering Sea Wednesday morning with another round of snow and freezing rain moving into the lower YK Delta Wednesday morning and over the Seward Peninsula and western interior Wednesday afternoon, and the central interior by Wednesday evening. Considerable model spread exists on the track and strength of this system with progressive flow. As the third system moves through the interior Thursday and into the Yukon Friday, a much colder airmass dives south and west out of the high Canadian Arctic and into northern Alaska next weekend. Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None. && .AFG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning for AKZ208-AKZ210-AKZ211-AKZ217. Blizzard Warning for AKZ207-AKZ209-AKZ213.
