...AREAS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SNOW THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...
A wintry mix of light snow and freezing rain is possible through
Thursday morning with a light glaze of ice possible. Rain is
expected for east Turnagain Arm and Portage Valley to the coast.
However, any rain that falls onto residual packed snow and ice
could make travel difficult. Expect conditions to be more dry
towards Cook Inlet as the rain moves west over the Chugach and
Kenai Mountains and precipitation starts to dry out. Patchy areas
of light freezing rain and snow cannot be ruled out though. Snow
levels this afternoon will be around 1000 feet, increasing to
around 2000 feet tonight. Multiple rounds of precipitation is
expected with one main wave early this afternoon, another later
tonight into early Thursday morning, and scattered light showers
in between. Even though conditions have overall improved since the
big snow yesterday, please continue to travel with caution by
slowing down, allow extra time to reach your destination, and
check travel reports.
