...AREAS OF DENSE FOG ALONG WITH PERIODS OF A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN,
SNOW, AND FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR THE CENTRAL COPPER RIVER BASIN
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

Areas of locally dense fog will persist along portions of the
Glenn and Richardson Highways, especially from Glennallen west to
Mendeltna, this evening through early Monday morning.

Periods of a wintry mix of precipitation are also expected across
the Copper River Basin through Monday morning. With temperatures
around freezing for most locations, any precipitation may fall as
a mix of rain, snow, and freezing drizzle. Little to no
significant snow and ice accumulation is expected. However, the
combination of falling precipitation and temperatures around
freezing may result in slippery road conditions and patchy black
ice. The precipitation and fog is expected to taper off by early
to mid Monday morning.

Motorists are urged to slow down and use caution while traveling.
