...Another Round of Snow and Rain Wednesday into Thursday...
A Bering Sea Low will bring a front into the Western Interior
with snow and wind beginning Wednesday morning/midday from Holy
Cross to McGrath. The front will move northward through the day
and will be in Ambler around midnight Thursday morning. As the front
lifts northward, temperatures on the south side of it will
approach and exceed 32 degrees. This leaves a chance for rain to
mix in, especially south of Galena Wednesday evening/night.
Snowfall totals through Thursday morning from Anvik to McGrath
northward, prior to any mixing, will be around 3 to 6 inches. The
lowest amounts are expected in the valleys and the highest
amounts expected in the terrain above 1000ft.

An arctic front past through the area early today and brought snow
showers and breezy conditions. As the winds calm this evening,
temperatures will begin to drop rapidly. Fortunately, the wind
helped dry out many wet spots. However, any remaining wet spots
will likely freeze resulting in patchy ice. Please use caution
tonight and especially tomorrow morning as there may be slick
spots around the Interior.
