Προειδοποιήσεις, Fairbanks

Special Weather Statement issued January 22 at 5:12AM AKST by NWS Fairbanks AK Moisture and very warm air from a storm in the Bering Sea will begin to push into the eastern Interior on Thursday night. This will begin a very active period of weather over the following week for the area. For Fairbanks and areas to the west, precipitation will likely begin as snow on Thursday night and Friday morning, followed by a brief break Friday afternoon. Precipitation will likely transition to a rain and snow mix or all rain on Friday evening and continue through Saturday as a separate feed of moisture from as far south as Hawaii reaches the area. High temperatures Friday and Saturday will reach the upper 30s to around 40. Precipitation will transition back to snow Sunday and Monday. There is still high uncertainty in how much precipitation will fall and where. Areas from Fairbanks south and west will likely see more precipitation than areas further to the northeast. Very strong winds are also expected Friday and Saturday through Alaska Range Passes and over summits of the Steese Highway. After these systems move east early next week, there is an increasing probability for a prolonged period of very cold temperatures across the area, possibly the coldest thus far this winter.
