Headline: Special Weather Statement issued April 10 at 5:30AM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
Description: A second front approaches the West Coast this evening causing
another round of gusty southerly winds and snow. This next front
will be weaker and cooler than the first. Gusts peak around 25 to
35 mph south of the Bering Strait and up to 30 mph north of the
Bering Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause more precipitation
to fall as snow rather than rain, but there will still be areas of
rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys. Snow totals will generally
be 1 to 2 inches for most areas, but greater totals of 4 to 7
inches are possible along the Southern Seward Peninsula,

Headline: Special Weather Statement issued April 9 at 2:59PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
Description: A front along the West Coast continues to move east through
Thursday afternoon reaching much of the Western Interior Thursday
evening. This front is bringing a line of rain and snow across the
West Coast and Western Interior through early Friday. What snow
does fall will be quite wet and partially melted at times due to
high temperatures in the 30s. Total snow accumulations will
generally be around 1 to 3 inches. Southerly winds peak around 25
to 35 late Thursday before gradually weakening overnight.

A second front approaches the West Coast Friday evening causing
another round of gusty southerly winds and snow. This next front
will be weaker and cooler than the first. Winds with this second
front will be weaker, especially north of the Bering Strait. Gusts
peak around 25 to 35 mph south of the Bering Strait and up to 30
mph north of the Bering Strait. Cooler temperatures will cause
more of the precipitation to fall as snow rather than rain, but
there will still be areas of rain/snow mix in the warmer valleys.
Snow totals will generally be 1 to 2 inches for most areas, but
greater totals of 4 to 7 inches are possible along the Southern
Seward Peninsula, especially along south facing slopes.
