Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fairbanks AK
128 PM AKST Sat Jan 10 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
A bit of a change today as we have updated most of the Central and
Northern Interior to Winter Storm Warnings. The heaviest snow will
sit west of Fairbanks, mostly from Cantwell to Chena Ridge to the
Dalton Highway Summits. There will likely be reports up to 12
inches of snow in many spots west of Fairbanks. East of Fairbanks,
totals will drop off significantly with totals around 4 inches in
Eielson and less farther east. Heavy snow amounts over 1 foot are
expected in Cantwell/Southern Slopes of the AK Range as well as
the White Mountains. The North Slope remains cold with a slight
breeze, heavy snow is likely in the Southern Slopes of the Brooks
Range and the Bering Strait will continue to see blowing snow
through the day.

See weather.gov/afg for the latest forecast updates and more
detailed views of the Winter Weather products.

.KEY WEATHER MESSAGES...
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Widespread light snow today with a development of a heavier line
  of snow this afternoon.

- Heavy snow is expected west of Fairbanks with moderate snow in
  Fairbanks and light snow east of Fairbanks.
	- Snowfall totals will vary greatly from west to east with up to
   1 foot of snow expected from Cantwell to the Dalton Highway
   Summits (including the Parks Highway from Nenana to Cantwell),
   and as little as 4 inches towards Eielson and Salcha.
	- Heavy snow is also likely in the White Mountains.
	- Blowing/drifting snow likely above 1500ft.

- Snow continues into tomorrow then gradually tapers off from west
  to east through the afternoon/evening.

- The Interior gradually clears out Monday/Tuesday with
  temperatures dropping well below zero once again, most likely in
  the 30s and 40s below zero where skies are clear.
	- Greatest likelihood for clear skies is from Fairbanks
   north/west with clouds mostly south and east.

West Coast and Western Interior...
- Blizzard Warnings continue over the Bering Strait but have been
  canceled in St. Lawrence Island.
	- There is a chance the Bering Strait products get canceled early
   since the blowing snow has been pretty minimal outside of
   Brevig Mission.

- Light snow from Galena northward tonight and tomorrow with 0.5
  to 2 inches of accumulation.

- The West Coast remains mostly dry and cold with a widespread
  cooling trend (West Coast and Interior) through early next week.
	- Temperatures will likely drop into the 30s and 40s below zero
   in Interior Valleys with teens and 20s below zero along the
   coast by Tuesday.

North Slope and Brooks Range..
- A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for Atigun and Anaktuvuk
  Pass for gusty wind and cold temperatures resulting in wind
  chills as low as 70F below zero at times.
	- This continues through tomorrow afternoon as winds gradually
   weaken and snow falls (likely warming up temperatures).

- Heavy snow likely in the Southern Slopes of the Brooks Range
  with 3 to 7 inches possible around Coldfoot/Wiseman today and
  tomorrow.

- Mostly dry and cold with a slight breeze on the North Slope
  today, but light snow develops from south to north, mainly from
  Nuiqsut eastward tonight.
	- Light snow continues through early Monday morning with 1 to 3
   inches of snow expected.

- Cold weather persists into next week with very cold temperatures
  - in the 30s and 40s below zero - likely by Tuesday.

.FORECAST ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION...
At 500mb, we have a 494 decameter upper low over the Western
Interior, a 506 decameter upper low in the Central Gulf of Alaska
and numerous shortwave features moving through southerly flow
in the Interior. All of this is providing moisture to the Interior
and it's currently falling as snow at varying intensities. As this
low becomes negatively tilted this afternoon through tonight, it
will provide extra moisture and enhanced lift (convergence) to
the Alaska Range and Interior. Bands of heavy snow will likely be
a result of this tonight with some spots, especially from
Cantwell to the Dalton Highway Summits, receiving over 1 foot of
snow. There will be a very sharp gradient from west to east due to
the nature of the heavy snow bands. Towards the AlCan, most of the
snow has completed, but in the Central Interior, moderate to heavy
snow will persist through tomorrow.

One interesting artifact with this set up is, an area of enhanced
vorticity (spin in the atmosphere) will develop to the north of
Mount McKinley. This will be a culprit for heavy snow tonight
around the Fairbanks area. Snowfall rates with any heavier band of
snow can exceed 1" per hour at times, resulting in rapid
accumulations.

All of this snow will continue to move through the southerly flow
and get to the Brooks range this afternoon through tonight, then
the North Slope early tomorrow morning. While all of this is going
on, the West Coast will have a very cold northerly wind with the
strongest going through the Bering Strait. Blowing snow is ongoing
and likely to persist through tomorrow afternoon. Winds will
weaken thereafter and temperatures likely continue to drop.

Everyone in Northern Alaska should anticipate colder than normal
temperatures to start next week with the Interior getting the
brunt of the cold. Interior Valleys from SW AK to Fort Yukon may
drop into the 30s and 40s below zero under clear skies. Along the
West Coast, it will be in the teens and 20s below zero to begin
next week. The North Slope will also be in on the cold with
temperatures in the 30s and 40s below zero. Given that there is an upper
low overhead, there will be some cloud cover meandering around it
but overall, it will be very cold once again from Monday to
Wednesday.

&&

.EXTENDED FORECAST DAYS 4-7...
Quite a bit of disagreement exists in the extended. The ECMWF is
trying to bring in heavy snow to the Interior by Friday while the
GFS is bringing in warm southerly flow and heavy snow in Western
Alaska. The CMC is more of a middle ground and brings snow/heavy
precipitation from the West Coast to the Interior and North Slope.
Due to this, we are focusing mostly on ensemble means which show
broad troughing from the North Slope to the Eastern Aleutians and
ridging over the SE Panhandle and Eastern Interior. This could
allow for lows or shortwaves to move from the Gulf into Northern
Alaska. Right now the question is where this sets up, but there is
a potential for more rounds of snow and precipitation towards the
end of next week and into the weekend.

Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None

...Very Cold Temperatures Likely to Begin Next Week...

Once this system bringing snow moves out of the area tomorrow, skies
will clear, allowing temperatures to plummet very quickly. We expect
temperatures to drop widespread into the 30s and 40s below zero
and even as low as 50 below zero in some locations, especially
from Galena north. These low temperatures are expected to persist
through the midweek, but we could see a rise towards the end of
the week.

...Very Cold Temperatures to Begin Next Week...

While temperatures are currently below normal, we anticipate a
cool down to continue at the beginning of next week through
midweek. Strong, cold, northerly flow will bring temperatures in
the 20s below zero or colder across most of the West Coast by
Tuesday morning. Locations near Kotzebue Sound and Selawik may
even approach 40 below zero by Tuesday morning. Much of the Seward
Peninsula likely will be well into the 20s below zero, St.
Lawrence Island will be in the single digits and teens below zero
and the Yukon Delta will be in the teens and 20s below zero as
well. There will be some cloud cover around which should keep
temperatures relatively milder, but where it's clear will be very
cold.

Temperatures will try to moderate by the end of the week with an
increase in southerly flow.
