Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
1230 PM AKST Fri Dec 12 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Winter Storm Warnings issued in the Interior for blowing and
drifting snow this afternoon.
Falling snow ending in the Interior this afternoon. Wind will be
increasing this afternoon resulting in very low visibility and
potentially whiteout conditions at times from the Dalton Highway
Summits to the Alaska Range Passes. Wind diminishes overnight
leading to quieter and colder weather tonight into the weekend.
Significant blizzard conditions are ongoing on the North Slope and
in the Brooks Range with very heavy snow and strong wind
continuing through tonight and into tomorrow. Chances for snow on
the North Slope continue through early next week with periods of
gusty winds expected after this round.

&&

.KEY WEATHER MESSAGES...
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Snow ending this afternoon. Another inch or so in Fairbanks with
  1 to 3 inches east of Fairbanks.

- Significant blowing snow expected this afternoon and evening
  across all of the the Central and Eastern Interior, including
  the Alaska Range Passes.
	- Wind gusts of 25 to 45 mph expected with the strongest wind
   gusts expected in the higher terrain.
	- Significant blowing and drifting snow expected across much of
   the Interior this afternoon and evening. Wind diminishes
   tonight as skies gradually clear.

- Temperatures plummet tonight (where there are clear skies) to
  30F below zero or colder. Very cold weather persists this
  weekend with widespread 40F below zero temps (50F below in the
  Eastern Interior) by Sunday night and Monday.
	- Some areas that clear tonight may reach 40F below zero, but
   many valleys will hold on to some cloud cover.

West Coast and Western Interior...
- Much quieter weather than yesterday but wind continues with
  isolated areas seeing visibility below 1 mile, especially near
  Kotzebue and the Kobuk Valley.
	- Visibility restrictions are possible for the rest of the
   Western Interior where there has been recent snowfall, but it
   shouldn't be as significant.

- Much colder and calmer weather returns this weekend with
  clearing skies. Widespread temperatures in the Interior Valleys
  will be around 25F to 35F below zero with single digits
  above/below zero along the coast.

North Slope and Brooks Range..
- A significant blizzard is ongoing with heavy snow and very
  strong wind up to 70 mph along the coast.
	- Very impactful blowing and drifting snow will make travel
   impossible in some spots.

- Blizzard conditions continue through tomorrow with 6 to 12
  inches of snow along the Dalton Highway between Atigun and MP
  270. 1 to 3 inches of additional snow expected along the coast.
	- Blizzard conditions diminish in coverage tomorrow night.

- Another round of light snow on Sunday with around 1 to 3 inches
  of additional accumulation. More light snow is expected Monday
  afternoon through Wednesday morning with widespread
  accumulations around 2 to 4 inches.
	- Wind increases with gusts to 20 to 40 mph everywhere. Blizzard
   conditions will once again be possible.

&&

.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION...
A trough is digging into the Western Interior with a strong ridge
over southern Bering Sea. To the east, there was heavy, high
ratio snow over the Central and Eastern Interior. Behind the
trough will be gusty winds this afternoon and evening which will
result in widespread blizzard or near blizzard conditions. Weather
will improve late tonight into tomorrow for the Interior with
temperatures dropping well below normal once again this weekend
and next week. Periods of clouds may stick around as we have waves
of energy dropping south through the trough. This would keep
temperatures "warmer", but any clear skies in the Interior will
support temperatures dropping into the 30s and 40s below zero.

The North Slope is currently going through very significant and
dangerous winter weather with heavy snow, wind gusts ranging from
50 to 70 mph and whiteout conditions. We will continue to see poor
conditions with nearly impossible travel through tonight and into
tomorrow. There will be a brief break tomorrow night as winds
calm down and snow lightens, but there will be another round of
light snow on Sunday as a front moves overhead. This will bring
another 1 to 3 inches of light snow and luckily, the wind remains
weak. Another round of snow and wind moves in Monday afternoon
through Wednesday night with accumulations around 2 to 4 inches
and wind gusts as high as 40 mph possible. Blizzard conditions are
once again possible next week.

The West Coast dodges most of the impactful weather, but remains
cold and mostly dry outside of a few flurries and light snow
showers this weekend into next week. Temperatures will drop this
weekend, back to the 20s and 30s below zero in the Interior and
near 0 along the coast.

&&

.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...
Strong ridging over the Bering Sea is expected to persist much of
the week, bringing mostly clear skies and colder temperatures. This
will generally keep low pressure systems in the Gulf, leaving
Eastern Alaska in a colder, drier pattern. This pattern of ridging
in the west and troughing in the east keep the area below normal
temperatures with the potential for scattered snow showers in the
North Slope and Eastern Interior. Models are hinting at the
potential for the ridge breaking down next weekend, but uncertainty
remains.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None
