Another Round of Snow and Rain Wednesday into Thursday
A Bering Sea Low will bring a front into the Western Interior
with snow and wind beginning Wednesday morning/midday from Holy
Cross to McGrath. The front will move northward through the day
and will be in Ambler around midnight Thursday morning. As the front
lifts northward, temperatures on the south side of it will
approach and exceed 32 degrees. This leaves a chance for rain to
mix in, especially south of Galena Wednesday evening/night.
Snowfall totals through Thursday morning from Anvik to McGrath
northward, prior to any mixing, will be around 2 to 6 inches.
The lowest amounts are expected in the valleys and the highest
amounts expected in the terrain above 1000ft.
