330 AM AKST Fri Dec 3 2021

...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM AKST THIS
AFTERNOON FOR THE KUSKOKWIM DELTA COAST...

* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations 
  of 3 to 5 inches. Southeast winds 35 mph gusting as high as 45 
  mph.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast, including Chevak and Hooper Bay.

* WHEN...From 3 AM to 4 PM AKST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Areas of snow and blowing snow will significantly 
  reduce visibility down to a quarter mile or less at times.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A frontal system will bring snow and strong
  southeast winds spreading from west to east early this morning.
  The worst conditions are expected near the coast, particularly
  near Chevak and Hooper Bay where strong winds will significantly
  reduce visibilites in snow and blowing snow. Conditions will 
  not be as bad farther inland where winds are expected to be 
  lighter. Conditions across the entire area will begin to improve
  as the front continues to move inland and weaken by this 
  evening.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel very hazardous. If you must travel,
have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay
with your vehicle.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT...
...BLIZZARD WARNING HAS EXPIRED...

* WHAT...Heavy snow and blowing snow possible. Total snow
  accumulations of 4 to 7 inches possible. Winds could gust as
  high as 55 mph. Visibility as low as a quarter mile possible.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta.

* WHEN...From Saturday evening through late Sunday night.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Areas of blowing
  snow could significantly reduce visibility.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As blizzard conditions with a weakening
  front come to an end this evening, attention for significant
  inclement winter weather will shift to a much stronger front
  expected to impact the watch area late Saturday night through
  Monday. Significant snow and blowing snow is forecast to develop
  with strong southerly winds along the front as it moves across
  the Kuskokwim Delta. Both inland and coastal locations will be
  impacted, though peak winds will still be higher along the
  coast. Snow may mix with or changeover to rain at times, mainly
  for coastal locations. Additionally, the strong onshore winds
  could be enough to bring water up over shorefast ice and lead to
  minor coastal flooding, particularly along Kuskokwim Bay.
