...Snow and Blowing Snow Tuesday Through Thursday...

A strong weather front will begin to impact the west coast
on Tuesday. Southerly winds will increase to 30-40 mph with gusts
to 55 mph by late Tuesday evening. Light snow arrives around
midnight in Point Hope and there will likely be blowing snow with
lowered visibility. By midday Wednesday, the snow may try to mix
with rain at times which would put an end to any blowing snow
concerns, but winds will continue gusting to 55 mph through
Thursday morning before subsiding during the afternoon.

Residents near the coast should be vigilant of these potential
impacts and stay tuned to the latest forecast updates at
