Winter Storm Watch until 03:00PM Saturday 
* WHAT...Snow and blowing snow. New snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches atop already fallen transportable snow is possible. Winds could gust as high as 60 mph with reduced visibility down to one quarter mile or less.
* WHERE...Pribilof Islands.
* WHEN...From late Friday night through Saturday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong front is forecast to push across the Bering and Pribilof Islands Friday night into Saturday with potential winds gusting as high as 60 mph. Light to moderate snow, as well as recent snowfall accumulations of 4 inches already on the ground and snow drifts of up to one foot, may supply enough transportable snow to significantly reduce visibility down to one quarter mile or less. Uncertainty in the forecast stems from what is expected to be a rapid warmup due to strong southerly winds. Thus, conditions will become increasingly less favorable for blowing snow through the day on on Saturday.
* AFFECTED AREAS: PRIBILOF ISLANDS
