Snowfall is expected to increase across Turnagain Pass beginning
early Thursday morning, with snow levels reaching ground level.
Temperatures dropping to the low 20s Wednesday night will likely
allow for cold enough ground temperatures to allow for potential
accumulations along portions of the Seward Highway. Temperatures
in the morning before the snow moves in, may also allow for ice on
areas of the roadways, causing slippery road conditions. Snowfall
rates are expected to peak into the mid-to-late afternoon, which
may further impact travel conditions along this section of the
highway. Snowfall rates expected to decline late Thursday night,
ending by late Friday morning.

Light snow is expected for the Interior beginning Wednesday
afternoon and continuing through the day on Saturday.
Temperatures will remain well below freezing so this should be a
fluffy snow, not wet snow. Snow accumulations are expected to
range from 1 to 4 inches Fairbanks/Tanana Valley and the Alaska
Range.

Water levels are projected to rise above the normal highest tide
line this weekend. Minor flooding will be possible during the
overnight tides on Saturday and Sunday. The potential for flooding
early Saturday will more than likely be due to the tide cycle.
However, a front from a western Bering low is expected to reach
the Kuskokwim coastline overnight Saturday into Sunday, when gusty
east to southeast winds increase along the coast. The addition of
those winds in combination with the diurnal tide cycle could lead
to higher than normal tides and minor flooding. Confidence is low
with the magnitude of the flooding potential and timing. Please
monitor for updates to forecast.

Snow is expected beginning Wednesday afternoon through the day on
Saturday. Temperatures will remain well below freezing so this
should be a fluffy snow, not wet snow. Snow accumulations are
expected to range from 3 to 6 inches in the Dalton Highway
Summits, Steese Highway Summits, and the Western Yukon Flats.
Please use caution when traveling.

At 9 AM Tuesday, the Skilak glacier dammed lake (GDL) is
releasing based on observed stage increases downriver. Data from
the streamgage at the Kenai River below Skilak Lake (SKLA2)
indicates that the river has crested near 12.15 ft. The Kenai
River at Kenai Keys (KEYA2) has reached 10.16 ft. The Kenai River
will begin falling at these locations today. Downstream locations
may continue to see rises through mid-day today (Tuesday) before
reaching crest and falling. Flooding is not anticipated along the
Kenai River at this time.
