Description
What
Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 8 inches and ice accumulations around a light glaze. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph, mainly across southern parts of the Anchorage Hillside.
Where
Richardson Highway from mile marker 60 and south.
When
From noon today to 3 PM AKST Tuesday.
Impacts
Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions will impact the Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Strong winds could cause damage to trees and power lines.
Additional details
A strong storm system moving across the Gulf of Alaska will bring a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain to much of the Anchorage Hillside and Eagle River between this afternoon and early Tuesday afternoon. Precipitation will start as mainly heavy snow this afternoon, then transition to a mix of snow and freezing rain tonight to early Tuesday morning as east winds begin to pick up. Precipitation could transition to plain rain by Tuesday morning as temperatures rise above freezing. Uncertainty for the timing of precipitation type transition remains high, with a later transition to rain and freezing rain potentially leading to higher snowfall totals. If warmer air moves in quicker, expect less snow and ice accumulation.
Instructions
Slow down and use caution while traveling. For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
