Full official description
Bulletin details
Snowfall will be likely through the day. Given the rain beforehand and the near/above freezing temperatures, snow will struggle to accumulate immediately but there will be minor accumulations by this morning. There may be a brief break later this morning into the early afternoon, likely allowing snow to gradually melt. Then snow returns Wednesday evening before diminishing into snow showers Thursday morning. Additional snow totals around 1 to 2 inches are expected early this morning in the area from Atigun Pass to Sagwon. Snow will continue through the day but struggle to stick due to warmer temperatures and higher sun angle. Another 1 to 2 inches of snow are expected to accumulate tonight before tapering off.
