* WHEN...From 10 AM Tuesday to 4 PM AKDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow
could significantly reduce visibility.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Light snow is expected Monday night. Heavier
snow is expected Tuesday. There is high uncertainty in the exact
location of this heavier snow area. This detail will be crucial in
determining which spots get 6 inches or more versus 3 inches or
less. A 30 mile change east or west will result in drastic
differences. If the area of heavier snow shifts slightly west,
heavy snow becomes more likely over the area. If the area of
heavier snow shifts slightly east, heavy snow becomes less likely
over the area.
