...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM AKDT THIS
AFTERNOON FOR TOKSOOK BAY...

* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations 
  of up to two inches.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Coast, Toksook Bay area.

* WHEN...Until 4 PM AKDT this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow and strong winds gusting 40 to 50 
  mph from the northwest overnight has led to reduced visibility 
  of one half mile or less for several hours overnight. Latest 
  observations have reduced visibility further to one quarter 
  mile with heavy snow and sustained northwest winds of 35 to 40 
  mph with gusts up to 50 mph. The worst conditions are expected 
  to continue through this morning and into the early afternoon 
  before snow and winds ease a bit. Farther inland from the 
  coast, rain is observed in Bethel and remains out of the 
  threat. Farther west toward Nunivak Island, light snow showers 
  at times with no reductions in visibility expected during the 
  day today. Heavier snow is expected to return late tonight 
  with the strongest winds shifting toward Nunivak Island.

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.
