...AREAS OF SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW ALONG THE STERLING HIGHWAY
CORRIDOR FROM ANCHOR POINT NORTH TO NIKISKI THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...
Snow and gusty northeasterly winds will develop along the Cook
Inlet coast beginning Thursday afternoon. The combination of snow
and winds gusting as high as 30 mph will result in areas of
drifting and blowing snow, especially around Nikiski and along
the Sterling Highway from Kenai south to Anchor Point. 2 to 4
inches of snow is possible, with the highest amounts near
Anchor Point and Nikiski. These locations will also have the best
potential for blowing snow reducing visibility to near one half
mile at times.
There is still some uncertainty as to whether the band of
steadier snow will set up along the coastline or farther west
over Cook Inlet. If this band of snow does move farther west, snow
amounts and the threat of blowing snow will be reduced. Light
snow will continue through Friday; however, winds will diminish by
early Friday morning.
