Total snow accumulations between 2 and 5 inches. North to northeast winds gusting as high as 70 mph. * WHERE...Pribilof Islands. * WHEN...From 6 PM Thursday to noon AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to blowing snow. Travel will be very difficult. Widespread blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility. This may affect Christmas and other holiday plans. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Rain will initially develop across the Pribilof Islands tonight. However, cooling temperatures will allow for a potential transition to snow through Thursday (Christmas) morning, especially for Saint Paul, which could reduce visibility to one half mile at times. Then, a period of rain and lighter winds is expected on Thursday, longest for Saint George, before cold north to northeast winds intensify and bring the lowest visibility (blizzard) conditions Thursday evening into the overnight. Snow will end from north to south on Friday morning, allowing visibility to improve. 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. && $$ AKZ763>766-251545- /O.NEW.PAFC.WW.Y.0058.251226T0600Z-251228T0200Z/ Bristol Bay Borough (Naknek and King Salmon)-Northern Bristol Bay Coast-Inland Bristol Bay-Lake Iliamna / Nila Vena / Nanvarpak- Including the cities of Naknek, Aleknagik, Iliamna, Manokotak, Dillingham, Kokhanok, Nondalton, New Stuyahok, Port Alsworth, Togiak, King Salmon, and Koliganek 249 PM AKST Wed Dec 24 2025 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THURSDAY TO 5 PM AKST SATURDAY... * WHAT...Snow and blowing snow expected.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this blizzard warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Anchorage, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this blizzard warning went out at Dec 24, 4:40 AM HAST, 9 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 24, 4:40 AM HAST, 9 hours 9 minutes before
Southcentral and Southwest Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Anchorage AK 540 AM AKST Wed Dec 24 2025 .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA (Days 1 through 3: Today through Friday)... For the short-term outlook, little change is expected until Thursday when an upper level jet streak rounding the strong upper ridge out west will shift east into Southcentral, resulting in another temporary increase in gap winds for parts of the region. This will be unlikely to cause gusty winds anywhere over interior valleys, including the Mat Valley. The strongest northerly winds will be almost entirely focused along the coast, including near Valdez, Whittier, Seward and much of Kodiak Island. As an upper level ridge to our west moves overhead, coastal gap winds will continue to weaken. Prevailing flow becomes more westerly and will moderate temperatures a bit today into tomorrow. By late today into Thursday, another trough dropping into Southcentral from the Arctic will bring a reinforcing shot of frigid air into the region. The Alaska Range will wring out the majority of the moisture from the front, but some lingering moisture may result in light snow across the northern slopes of the Talkeetnas. Farther east, light snow is likely from the northern Copper River Basin by Isabel Pass eastward through Mentasta Pass, Nabesna, and Chisana as this front moves through. The remainder of the area will remain cold and dry. This trough will reinvigorate the outflow gap winds in all the usual places into the Prince William Sound and northern Gulf. Chances for the next measurable snowfall are improving for Friday afternoon, but further details will depend on the track of a surface low in the northern Gulf. && .SHORT TERM FORECAST SOUTHWEST ALASKA/BERING SEA/ALEUTIANS (Days 1 through 3: Today through Friday night)... The overall forecast remains on track, with few changes to the previous forecast. Here are the major weather headlines through the end of the work week: * Winter Storm Watch continues for the Pribilof Islands from Thursday morning through Friday morning. * Blowing snow and heavy snow possible for Bristol Bay and the Alaska Peninsula late Thursday night through Friday. * Wind chills as low as -35 to -45 possible for the Kuskokwim Delta and the Kuskokwim Valley as early as Friday afternoon. * Extreme freezing spray possible along the Eastern Bering Sea/Southwest Alaska coastline from east of St. Matthew Island south to Bristol Bay from Thursday night through Monday morning. The previous forecast discussion, with minor edits, is copied below and still applies: High pressure continues to be centered south of the eastern Aleutians, keeping a bubble of relatively quiet conditions in place across much of the Bering Sea and Southwest Alaska. A low tracking from the Chukchi Sea along the North Slope is helping to draw warm moist air across the Bering Sea into Southwest Alaska. This has brought very light precipitation and widespread fog to the Kuskokwim Delta, which is expected to continue until the cold front associated with the low drops south through today. The front brings increased chances for some light snow, with accumulations up to around one inch, before the colder, drier air moves in to mix out the fog and low stratus, giving way to sunnier skies and cooling temperatures. Out west, a developing low lifts toward the Aleutians, spreading primarily rain and strengthening winds along the islands through Thursday (Christmas Day). Further north on the Pribilof Islands, colder air will mean precipitation that initially starts as rain Wednesday night transitions over to snow by Thursday (though quicker further north for Saint Paul). Winds, which increase to gale force, will then cause significant visibility reductions for the Pribilof Islands, reducing visibility below one mile and potentially even leading to blizzard conditions. There is some uncertainty given that temperatures are likely to remain above freezing until sometime Christmas Day, which contributes to lower confidence on the start time of the worst conditions. Later in the day and into Thursday night, however, temperatures dropping into the 20s will make for much better conditions to blow snow around, which will reduce visibility to at least half a mile. Visibility increases on Friday as precipitation comes to an end from north to south as cold air surging in from the north causes the front to drop southward. For Friday, cold air surges south toward the Aleutians and Alaska Peninsula, with the front aligning along an axis from the eastern Aleutians up into portions of Bristol Bay. Temperatures will be low enough for the majority of locations receiving precipitation to see it in the form of all snow, with blowing snow being a potential concern further south and west, where winds will be strongest. Further north, temperatures will be colder, with wind chills/apparent temperatures dropping to near or below 40 degrees below zero in the Kuskokwim Valley and potentially parts of the Kuskokwim Delta as well. Along the Southwest coast, the cold air and gale force winds combine to produce a heavy to extreme freezing spray hazard. -Quesada/Chen && .LONG TERM FORECAST (Days 4 through 7: Saturday through Tuesday)... An amplified upper level pattern sets in late this week as a strong ridge builds over the Aleutians and Bering Sea while a trough digs south across the Interior, supporting an upper level low centered over the western Gulf. A surface low lifting out of the North Pacific into the Gulf will take advantage of this upper level support, bringing a renewed threat for high winds later this week across typical locations including the Matanuska Valley, Valdez area/Thompson Pass, and along the southern AKPen and Gulf coast through the weekend. Although most of the moisture associated with this low will be directed towards Southeast Alaska, Southcentral will see increased chances for snow as the low drifts south of Prince William Sound. The greatest chance for snow will be along the Gulf coast and Prince William Sound, while confidence remains low on the inland extent of snowfall as this will be highly dependent on the track of the low. Further west, a tightening pressure gradient between the strong ridge centered over the western Bering and trough over the Mainland will promote strong north-northeast winds across the central and eastern Aleutians Saturday into Sunday. The Arctic airmass associated with this trough will keep temperatures below average across southern Alaska, with the coldest areas being the Copper River Basin and interior Southwest Alaska, where ambient temperatures will hover in the range of 20 to 30 below zero. Persistent troughing in the Gulf lasting through the weekend will allow for enhanced gap winds to continue into early next week across the Eastern Aleutians, southern AKPen, and Gulf coast. && .AVIATION... PANC...VFR conditions and light winds will persist through the period. &&

A low tracking just east of Kodiak Island will bring a mix of precipitation types Thursday night into Friday night and then bring a chance for heavy snow and blowing snow late Friday night into Saturday. There is considerable uncertainty in the precipitation type as the rain-snow line will be very close to Kodiak City and any movement of the low track east or west will make a large difference in how much warm air will move over the Island. As the cold air moves in again early Saturday, there may be a periods of heavy snow and blowing snow before drier air from the west shuts off the snow. At this time, the most likely scenario is for the precipitation to begin as snow on Thursday night with a few inches of accumulation before turning to rain on Friday. The change back to snow should occur late Friday night, and that will be when the potential for the more significant snow and blowing snow conditions are possible. The forecast is likely to change between now and this weekend so please pay attention for forecast updates.
