Special Weather Statement

Applies to: Fairbanks Metro AreaIssued by: NWS Fairbanks AKSpecial Weather Statement issued October 27 at 6:19AM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
Alert detailsBetween 4 and 7 inches of heavy, wet, snow fell across the Fairbanks Metro Area Monday. Warming temperatures Monday evening have caused portions of that snowfall to melt creating many slushy areas of melting snow and pooling water. Overnight low temperatures Tuesday night into Wednesday morning are expected to fall into the upper teens to low 20s which will allow much of this slush to refreeze. Slick surfaces are very likely Wednesday morning as wet surfaces and small water puddles freeze. Areas of heavy, wet snow will also refreeze giving the slush a sturdier, more ice like texture. Travel may be impacted, especially during the Wednesday morning commute. Additional rain and snow showers are expected overnight Wednesday into Thursday with much lighter accumulations than Monday. Less than an inch of new snow is possible with only a few hundredths of an inch of liquid equivalent expected.
