URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 758 PM AKDT Mon Aug 25 2025 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 PM TUESDAY TO 7 AM AKDT THURSDAY... * WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations up to 2 inch inches north of the Brooks Range and up to 1 inch in the Brooks Range and ice accumulations around a light glaze. * WHERE...Central Arctic Plains, Central Beaufort Sea Coast, and Central Brooks Range. * WHEN...From 10 PM Tuesday to 7 AM AKDT Thursday. * IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. Any accumulating snow and freezing rain could create difficult travel conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...There is very high uncertainty in exact accumulations. Freezing rain is possible everywhere, especially in the Brooks Range and along the Dalton Highway south of Prudhoe Bay. Temperatures will hover around 32 degrees, especially Tuesday night and Wednesday night which will make things difficult to accumulate unless precipitation rates are heavy enough to overcome warm ground temperatures. The greatest risk for accumulating snow will be north of the Brooks Range and towards the coast, while the greatest risk for freezing rain accumulations resides in the Brooks Range. The Dalton Highway in between has equal chances for both. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Slow down and use caution while traveling. The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
