Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
505 AM AKST Thu Jan 8 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Broad upper level troughing and increasingly clear skies will
work to support very cold temperatures across Northern Alaska to
finish out the work week, with widespread 20s/30s below zero as
coldest locations drop to the 40s to around 50 below zero. Winds
chills will be even colder. Light snow showers will subside across
the Northern Interior later today, as predominant very cold and
dry conditions prevail regionwide. Winds will increase tonight
into Friday out ahead of a frontal boundary lifting north from
the Gulf of Alaska later in the day Friday into Saturday, with
widespread snow building into the Interior southeast to northwest.
This front will support elevated winds, snow chances, and warmer
temperatures through the weekend across Northern Alaska. The bulk
of snow with this system is expected across the Interior and in
the Alaska Range, with drier and windier conditions favored along
the West Coast. Winter Storm Watches remain in effect for the
Seward Peninsula, St. Lawrence Island, and Middle Tanana Valley
south through the Alaska Range for potential blizzard conditions.
&&
.KEY WEATHER MESSAGES...
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Light snow ends this morning as skies clear from south to north.
Clearing skies will support temperatures in the 30s/40s below
zero, with coldest locations dropping to around 50 below zero.
Wind chills will be even colder.
- Winds will steadily increase across higher elevations tonight
into Friday, remaining elevated through Saturday, with gusts up
to 60 mph and blowing snow possible for the Dalton Highway
Summits and Middle Tanana Valley south through the Alaska Range.
- Widespread snow builds into the Interior southeast to northwest
later in the day Friday into Saturday, continuing through
Sunday. Warmer temperatures will also move in with the snow.
- Total snowfall accumulations across the Interior through the
weekend are expected to be around 2-5" (including Fairbanks) and
5-10" for Alaska Range Passes.
- Increasing chances support colder and drier conditions returning
for early next week, with Interior valleys dropping back to the
30s/40s below zero following a warmup over the weekend.
West Coast and Western Interior...
- Clearing skies will support temperatures in the 20s/30s below
zero, with coldest locations across the Western Interior
dropping to 40s to around 50 below zero. Wind chills will be
even colder.
- Winds will steadily increase Friday across Western Alaska,
remaining elevated through the weekend. Strongest winds are
expected along the West Coast and across higher elevations, with
blizzard conditions possible at times where strongest winds
overlap with transportable snow late Friday through the weekend.
- Widespread snow builds into Western Alaska southeast to
northwest late Friday into Saturday, continuing through Sunday.
Warmer temperatures will also move in with the snow.
- Total snow accumulations through the weekend are expected to be
around 1-3" across the Western Interior and up to an inch along
the West Coast.
- Winds will remain breezy along the West Coast into early next
week as winds lessen across the Western Interior. Colder and
drier conditions are favored to return, as temperatures in the
20s/30s to around 40 below zero return following a warmup over
the weekend.
North Slope and Brooks Range...
- Cold and dry conditions will remain in place over the North
Slope and Brooks Range through Friday, as snow showers along
Southern Slopes of the Brooks Range subside today. Widespread
temperatures in the 20s/30s to around 40 below zero will
persist. Wind chills will be even colder.
- Winds will steadily increase tonight into Friday in the Brooks
Range and across the NW Arctic Coast, remaining elevated through
the weekend especially further west.
- Snow showers remain on track return over weekend, as moisture
from the Gulf of Alaska lifts north over the Interior. Total
snow accumulations through the weekend are expected to be around
2-4" in the Brooks Range and up to an inch for the Arctic
Plains/Coast.
&&
.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION...Today through Saturday Night.
Early morning satellite imagery shows a broad 500 mb low around
502 dm remains centered over the Western Interior, as increasingly
clear skies build in out of the south over Northern Alaska. These
clearer conditions along with lighter winds are leading to colder
temperatures filling in across much of our region south of the
Brooks Range, with widespread 20s/30s below zero as coldest spots
drop to the 40s to around 50 below zero. Wind chills will be even
colder at times. Farther north across the North Slope, persistent
temperatures in the 20s/30s to around 40 below zero remain in
place. Cold Weather Advisories remain in place for the Eastern
North Slope for wind chills as lows as 70 below zero, which have
also been expanded to include the Southwest Interior, Interior
Norton Sound, and Y-K Delta for wind chills as low as 55 below
zero. Additional expansions to these Cold Weather Advisories will
continue to be monitored, as very cold temperatures through
Friday morning even with light winds will lead to much colder wind
chills. The most likely expansion would be to include the
remainder of the Interior.
A strong low pressure system around 960 mb will lift northeast
into the Gulf of Alaska for Friday, ejecting a front north Friday
into Saturday into Northern Alaska with a band of snow, gusty pre-
frontal winds, and warmer temperatures to finish out the work week
into the weekend. Strongest winds and areas we will be keeping an
eye on will include the West Coast, Brooks Range, Middle Tanana
Valley, Alaska Ranges Passes, and across the Dalton Highway
Summits where Winter Storm Watches have been issued for potential
blizzard conditions and wind gusts up to 50 to 60 mph.
Snow will overspread the Interior southeast to northwest later in
the day Friday into Saturday, extending north to the Arctic Coast
and west to the West Coast over the weekend. Heading into
Saturday night, models have been showing increased agreement on
the location in which this front could stall across the Interior,
generally along a corridor from Southcentral Alaska through the
Alaska Range over the Central Interior. Should we see this
narrower band of persistent snow last Saturday night into Sunday,
we could see locally higher snow totals versus what is currently
forecast. As things currently stand snow total wise through the
weekend, we are expecting a broad 2-5" across the Interior up into
the Central/Eastern Brooks Range with around 5-10" for Alaska
Range Passes, as lighter snow totals remain confined to coastal
regions. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor where this locally
heavier band of snow could setup over the Interior.
As this front pushes into Northern Alaska, warmer air will also
accompany it, with most locations seeing at least somewhat of a
warmup over the weekend. While most everyone is expected to remain
below zero, we could see above zero temperatures (possibly as
high as the mid 20s above zero down by Paxson) build in through
Alaska Range Passes and possibly into portions of the Southern
Interior given strong southerly winds. The biggest caveat to this
warmer air lifting much farther north will be persistent NE winds
situated over much of the Interior.
&&
.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...Sunday through next Thursday.
Scattered snow chances will continue across Northern Alaska for
Sunday into early Monday, as gusty winds persist along the West
Coast. Winds will ultimately lessen for Monday further west with a
weakening pressure gradient between broad upper level troughing
over Alaska and a ridge of high pressure in place over Siberia.
Looking ahead, the overall weather pattern remains fairly
disorganized and unsettled to our south, with the question for us
being how much moisture can be transported north of the Alaska
Range. The latest long range models point towards keeping some
isolated to scattered snow chances around through midweek next
week, as cold and mostly dry conditions prevail for most. Should
we see a more organized system in the Gulf of Alaska form and send
moisture northward, we could see increases in snow for next week
which we will continue to monitor. Following a brief warmup over
the weekend south of the Brooks Range, temperatures are expected
to cool regionwide for early next week as widespread 20s/30s below
zero return with coldest areas reaching down to around 40 below
zero. Warmest locations are expected to be across the Eastern
Interior where 850 mb temperatures look to be slightly warmer
versus the widespread 20s/30s C elsewhere across our CWA.
