TANANA FLATS; EIELSON AFB AND SALCHA; GOLDSTREA… — A low in the Gulf of Alaska will will bring a front to the Alaska Range and Central Interior Tuesday and Wednesday. There is uncertainty with the exact strength and placement of this front and we are currently expecting around 3 to 6 inches of snow from the Western Alaska Range to Fairbanks. However, there is a 30% chance for snow accumulations exceeding 6 inches in this area. Currently, the greatest likelihood of this occurring is towards Eielson AFB and areas east, where Winter Storm Watches are in effect. If the front is a bit farther to the west, this chance increases dramatically in/around Fairbanks.
There may end up being a west to east gradient where Eielson gets 6 inches or more of snow, and Fairbanks south/west only gets a couple of inches. We will be monitoring this storm very closely and will have more information as the details become clearer.
Local conditions in Tanana Flats; Eielson AFB and Salcha; Goldstream Valley and Nenana Hills; Chatanika River Valley; Two Rivers; Fairbanks Metro Area; Nenana; Northern Denali Borough; Southern Denali Borough may affect travel, public safety, or daily routines. Stay informed and adjust plans if conditions change.
