Full Notification

* WHAT...Snow, blowing snow, heavy snow, and mixed precipitation possible.

* WHERE...Anchorage.

* WHEN...From late tonight through Thursday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be hazardous. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A major winter storm could bring a variety of weather to Anchorage tonight through Thursday. Light snow will arrive overnight tonight into early Wednesday morning. North winds gusting 15 to 25 mph will cause areas of blowing snow and low visibilities, primarily along Knik Arm and the Glenn Highway corridor down to north to west Anchorage. There is then a large amount of uncertainty in the track of a storm system across the Gulf. One potential scenario would bring periods of light snow, possibly mixed with rain Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon. This would produce generally light amounts of snow. A second scenario would bring heavy snow to Anchorage beginning by midday Wednesday and continuing through Wednesday night or Thursday. With this solution snowfall totals would be significant, with a foot or more of snow possible, especially along the Anchorage and Eagle River Hillsides and the Hiland Road area. Stay tuned as we monitor this potentially impactful winter storm.
