1137 AM AKST Fri Dec 5 2025

...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM SATURDAY TO 3 PM AKST
MONDAY...

* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Visibilities reduced to one
  quarter mile or less due to blowing and drifting snow. Winds
  gusting as high as 60 mph. Wind Chills falling to as low as 35
  below zero by Saturday night.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, especially from
  Kipnuk north and west.

* WHEN...From 3 PM Saturday to 3 PM AKST Monday.

* IMPACTS...Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce
  visibility. Frostbite may occur in as little as 10 minutes on
  exposed skin.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Increasing northerly winds on Saturday will
  begin to loft snow that fell earlier in the week, leading to
  blowing and drifting snow that may significantly reduce
  visibilities. There is some uncertainty regarding the quantity of
  transportable snow. Visibility reductions from blowing/drifting
  snow will be lowest in areas that received more snowfall earlier
  in the week, particularly from Kipnuk north and west. Visibility
  will improve with diminishing winds on Monday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel very hazardous. If you must travel, have a
winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your
vehicle.
