.DISCUSSION...
Cool and wet conditions continue today into Wed AM, with drying
and warming Wed PM along with southerly Chinook winds gusting to 50
mph along the Alaska Range Wed night into Thu AM. At this time it
looks like strong winds will be late Wed night and early Thu AM so
not anticipating Red Flag conditions at this time, but need to
keep an eye on Wed night and Thu.
A band of rain and snow (with all snow above 2000 ft and north of
the Yukon River) that lies from Denali to Atigun Pass will move
to the Yukon River Bridge to Utqiagvik by 4am Tue, then diminish
from the south Tue morning. Expect 1-3 inches of snow from Finger
Mountain to Utqiagvik by Tue, heaviest in the Central Brooks
Range.
A second band will bring rain and snow to the SE Interior Tue,
spreading over the Tanana Yukon Uplands and the Dalton highway
north to Atigun Pass Tue night, and over the Northern Interior and
North Slope from Utqiagvik east on Wed, diminishing from the
south Wed night and Thu. Expect 1-2 inches of snow above 2000 ft
and north of the Arctic Circle with this Tue PM into Wed and could
see 2-4 inches in the White Mountain above 2000 ft.
Rain and snow moving over the SE Interior Thu night and Fri as
the Chinook winds end.
