Description
What
Mixed precipitation likely. Total snow accumulations between 3 and 10 inches. Ice accumulations around a light glaze possible from Turnagain Pass to Tern Lake and up to one tenth of an inch from the Hope Cutoff to Hope.
Where
Richardson Highway from mile marker 60 and south.
When
From 11 AM this morning to 6 AM AKST Tuesday.
Impacts
Travel could be very difficult. Visibility could be significantly reduced within heavy snow.
Additional details
The higher-end snow totals are expected for Turnagain Pass to Tern Lake, including the Hope Cutoff. There is still some uncertainty regarding precipitation-type changeovers. If cold air holds on longer, expect more snow. If warmer air moves in quicker, expect less snow accumulation and potentially more in the way of wintry mix and rain. An all rain changeover is expected during Tuesday morning.

Slow down and use caution while traveling. For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
