Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 232 PM AKST Sat Dec 9 2023 AKZ820-821-827-101500- Shishmaref-Bering Strait Coast-St Lawrence Island- Including Shishmaref, Diomede, Wales, Brevig Mission, Teller, Gambell, and Savoonga 232 PM AKST Sat Dec 9 2023 ...STRONG NORTH WINDS AND SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER BERING SEA... Behind a departing low pressure system, strong northerly winds will continue into the work week through the Bering Strait and into the northern Bering Sea. Sustained winds of 25 to 30 mph and gusts to 35 mph in conjunction with on and off snow showers could lead to reduced visibiltiy to one half mile at times. Strong winds and waves could also lead to heavy freezing spray which may create light ice accumulations on surfaces. These hazardous conditions are most likely for Little Diomede and Saint Lawerence Islands. Under the heaviest snow band, a couple additional inches of snowfall are possible. North winds will strengthen again later in the week, and additional winter weather headlines may be needed for strong winds and low visibilities. $$
