Winter Weather Advisory
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
October 19, 2026 - 9:48pm
Expires:
October 20, 2026 - 8:00am
Description:
* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and 10
inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph.
* WHERE...Denali Borough.
* WHEN...From 4 AM Tuesday to 4 AM AKDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...North and west of Healy, the chance for heavy
snow drops off quickly due to a narrow gradient of snow. There is
potential for greater than 6 inches in Healy but only a few inches
in Anderson. The exact placement of the area of heavier will have a
dramatic effect on the final snowfall totals. If the band moves a
few dozen miles west, snowfall totals will be on the higher end of
the range, especially near Healy. If the band moves a few dozen
miles east, snowfall totals will likely be on the lower end, even
in Healy.
