Northern Alaska Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fairbanks AK 1256 PM AKST Tue Feb 18 2025
SYNOPSIS
A system lifting northwestward out of the Aleutians will bring snow and blowing snow to the YK Delta Today into Wednesday morning.
Additionally, strengthening surface pressure gradients will bring strong winds to the Bering Strait and western Coast. Winter Weather Advisories are in effect for the Bering Strait coast, Diomede, and YK Delta coast. A Blizzard Warning is in effect for St Lawrence Island along the YK coast. Winter Storm Warning has been issued for portions the Nulato Hills and surrounding areas for 6 to 10 inches of snow through Wednesday morning. Strong winds and some blowing snow will reach Point Hope Today into Wednesday.
Warmer afternoon temperatures will continue over the Interior through the week.
DISCUSSION
Central and Eastern Interior...
- Gusty East winds around 15 to 30 mph will pick up over higher terrain and Summits of the Northern Interior on Wednesday.
- Above average temperatures.
West Coast and Western Interior...
- Snow and blowing snow, with an additional 4 to 7 inches possible over portions of the YK Delta, with the highest amounts in the Nulato Hills. Winter Storm Warning in effect along the Nulato Hills.
- Strong northeasterly winds develop, especially over the Chukchi and Bering Seas and adjacent coastal areas. Blizzard Warning has been issued for St Lawrence Island region especially near Gambell.
- Snow and blowing snow across the Bering Strait area are expected to develop Monday so Winter Weather Advisories have been issued for snow and blowing snow.
North Slope and Brooks Range...
- Cold temperatures continue across the North Slope with persistent northerly flow.
- Snow will develop over the Brooks Range with a few inches through tonight.
- Strong winds and some blowing snow will reach Point Hope Tuesday into Wednesday.
Forecast Discussion and Analysis...
A warm front extending from this low then lifts northward across the state through the first half of the week, eventually settling over the Brooks Range. Periods of snowfall are likely at times along the boundary, especially in the Brooks Range where orographic lifting aids the larger scale forcing. Snow lifts northward toward Kotzebue by late Tuesday into early Wednesday with lesser accumulations possible. Strong northeasterly flow is expected to develop through the Chukchi and Bering Seas as low pressure over the Aleutians intensifies. Gusts between 40 and 50 mph are possible, leading to areas of blowing snow and reduced visibilities. East winds gusting to 30 mph develops over the Interior Summits on Wednesday.
Extended Forecast Days 4-7...
The extended looks quiet for the most part with the polar jet shifting southward into the North Pacific. Weak ridging persists over the Interior while weak waves move up along the west coast Thursday and into the weekend. Increasing pressure gradient keeps northeasterly flow strong across the western Interior and coast.
Gales likely to persist across the Chukchi and Bering Seas.
Temperatures look seasonable if not slightly warmer than average south of the Brooks Range.
Coastal Hazard Potential Days 3 and 4...None.
