Description
What
Mixed precipitation likely. Total snow accumulations between 2 and 5 inches, except 5 to 8 inches through Turnagain Pass. Ice accumulations of around a trace to a light glaze.
Where
East Turnagain Arm, Portage Valley, and Turnagain Pass.
When
Until 1 AM AKST Tuesday.
Impacts
Travel could be difficult. Visibility could be significantly reduced within heavy snow, especially through Turnagain Pass. Ponding of water on roadways is likely after the change from snow to rain due to melting snow and moderate rainfall.
Additional details
Snow will develop this afternoon, then transition to freezing rain and rain this evening into the overnight hours. The transition will occur first for Portage Valley and the Seward Highway corridor along east Turnagain Arm, with rain and temperatures warming above freezing by early evening at latest. Snow will hold on longer through Turnagain Pass and vicinity through the evening before changing to rain overnight. Any freezing rain that falls will be brief in nature.
Instructions
Slow down and use caution while traveling. For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
