| Alert: | Special Weather Statement |
| Area(s): | Pribilof Islands |
| Effective: | 4aaeor25aa |
| Onset: | 4aaeor25aa -> 4apeor30ap |
| Severity: | Moderate |
| Certainty: | Observed |
| Urgency: | Expected |
| Issued By: | NWS Anchorage AK on 4aaeor25aa |
| Headline: | Special Weather Statement issued April 4 at 2:25AM AKDT by NWS Anchorage AK |
| Description: |
Snowfall and strong winds are expected to begin for the Pribilofs early this morning. Wind gusts up to 65 mph are expected to build late this morning. Strong winds in conjunction with falling snow could significantly reduce visibility. The best chance for visibility to drop to a half mile, due to falling snow and winds, will be this afternoon. However, given that the surface is largely uncovered from snow, getting snow to loft once grounded will be more difficult. Conditions will gradually improve from this evening as winds begin to slowly diminish and snowfall wanes. |
