Anchorage-
Including the cities of Anchorage, Eagle River, and Eklutna
403 AM AKST Sat Dec 27 2025
...GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS LATE TODAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING ALONG
KNIK ARM AND NORTH TO WEST ANCHORAGE...
Northerly winds will gradually strengthen late this afternoon
through tonight and peak during the day Sunday before slowly
diminishing Sunday night through Monday. Wind gusts of 35 to 45
mph are likely, though there may be a few stronger gusts on JBER.
The areas most likely to see winds include the portions of
Chugiak and Birchwood west of the Parks Highway, JBER and
Government Hill, Downtown Anchorage and all of west Anchorage. For
the rest of Anchorage and Eagle River, winds will be much
lighter.
As winds ramp up, the light and powdery snow on the ground will
easily blow around, leading to reduced visibility at times along
area roads. Plan ahead and prepare by securing loose items,
adjusting travel plans as necessary, and monitoring the forecast
for any updates.

Upper Tanana Valley-

the Alaska Highway east of MP 1392,
the Taylor Highway south of MP 9,
and the Tok Cutoff north of MP 105
121 PM AKST Fri Dec 26 2025
...Several Days of Snow Expected...
Snow will develop Friday night from Dot Lake to the AlCan Border
and it will continue through Sunday. There will be a brief break
on Monday during the day, then an additional round of light snow
on Monday night from Tok east.
Overall, snowfall from Friday night through Sunday afternoon
looks to total 3 to 6 inches. This forecast remains on track.
Heavy snow previously forecasted for Sunday night looks to be
lighter in nature as forecast models have shifted the main front
further southeast, away from the Alaska Highway.
Snowfall looks to be very fine in nature and will likely not
accumulate efficiently. Winds will be breezy from the northwest
with gusts 15 to 20 mph on Saturday and Sunday. Some drifting
snow is expected, but it will be limited due to the nature of the
snowfall being fine grains and not fluffy.
