...BLOWING SNOW AND REDUCED VISIBILITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
FROM DILLINGHAM TO CAPE NEWENHAM...

An incoming front will bring light snow and easterly winds
gusting as high as 35-45 mph. This could lead to several hours of
blowing snow through this evening, with visibility reduced to as
low as one-half to one mile.

The area most likely to be impacted will be along the Bristol Bay
coastline from Cape Newenham to the Dillingham area. While other
locations will see gusty winds, any blowing snow or visibility
reductions will likely be brief as temperatures quickly warm to
and above freezing.

Please use caution if you will be outside or traveling during
this time.
