...Windy With Snow and Blowing Snow Sunday Into Monday...
A storm moving north along the Dateline this weekend is expected
to bring strong southerly winds along with snow and blowing snow
to the West Coast of Alaska from St Lawrence Island and the
Bering Strait north to Point Hope from Sunday afternoon into
Monday. South winds could gust between 30 and 50 mph and there
could be near blizzard conditions in snow and blowing snow. Snow
fall amounts of 2 to 6 inches are possible, with the heaviest
amounts near Kivalina and Red Dog Mine. The strongest winds and
lowest visibility are expected in the Bering Strait and near Red
Dog and Kivalina from Sunday night into Monday.
There is still much uncertainty on this exact storm track,
so forecasted conditions could change.
