...Rain and Snow Mix This Weekend...

A front will be moving into the area Saturday evening/night from
the Bering Sea. This front is expected to bring periods of snow,
heavy at times Saturday night through Sunday morning. As the front
progresses north Sunday afternoon, temperatures are expected to
rise into the mid 30s which will support a transition to a
rain/snow mix or plain rain. Prior to the changeover, snowfall
totals will range from 4 to 7 inches. Melting will occur,
especially when the snow mixes or changes to rain Sunday
afternoon making for a slushy mess by Sunday night. Pooling and
ponding of water is also possible, especially from overflow on the
rivers as well as any runoff from the higher terrain. Any wet
spots may refreeze Monday night as temperatures drop below
freezing. Be sure to use extra caution while outside during this
time.

...Snow and Rain Sunday and Monday...

Wet snow will develop early Sunday morning and continue into the
afternoon. The snow may be heavy at times resulting in wet, slushy
accumulations. By Sunday evening, there is a 40% chance that the
snow transitions to rain or a mix of rain and snow in the
valleys, including Fairbanks. The rain can also be heavy at
times. If there is heavy rain, localized flooding, while not
expected, is possible since the ground is still frozen and any
standing water has nowhere to go. Late Sunday night and Monday
morning, temperatures will drop to near freezing resulting in
patches of ice. Any rain will likely transition back to snow
showers by Monday morning. Monday afternoon will come with a
drying trend, but any wet spots will likely freeze once again
Monday night as temperatures drop into the 20s to near 30 Tuesday
morning. Travel will likely be most difficult during the Monday
and Tuesday commutes.

Snowfall totals will range between 2 and 4 inches from Fairbanks
to Healy. 3 to 7 inches is expected in the higher terrain around
Fairbanks.
