Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow could reduce visibility to around 1/2 mile at times. Blizzard conditions will be intermittently possible to the east of Utqiagvik, which will be dependent on the severity of blowing snow & intensity of the snowfall.

East-northeast winds will increase as we progress into Tuesday & generally remain elevated through midweek. Areas to the east of Utqiagvik could intermittently experience visibilities as low as 1/4 mile from the onset of the snowfall from around early Tuesday morning into Tuesday evening as both the snowfall rates & the wind gusts will be higher over that area during that timeframe.
