...First Round of Snowfall Across Portions of the Interior...

Cooler temperatures will allow for the first chance for snowfall
accumulations. While snow could be seen in some low lying areas in
and around Fairbanks, the best chance for accumulations will be
at higher elevations. Snowfall accumulations from Monday night
through Wednesday night are expected to be between 1" and 3". Any
snow that falls in the lower elevations will be very wet and will
mostly likely melt during the day with high temperatures remaining
in the low 40s.

...Moderate to Heavy Snowfall Expected Across the Eastern Alaska
Range...

Snowfall beginning Monday night could potentially lead to slick
travel conditions along Isabel Pass beginning Monday night.
Cooler temperatures are expected to settle in through mid week
which could allow for the first accumulations of the season.
Up to 6" is possible through Wednesday night. This could be the
start of the permanent snow pack.
