A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for the Noatak Valley and South Slopes of the Western Brooks Range, effective from midnight Thursday night until 10:00 AM AKDT Saturday, October 10th. The National Weather Service in Fairbanks, AK, issued the warning today, October 7th, at 1:17 PM AKDT.
Residents in affected areas should prepare for heavy snow, with total accumulations of 10 to 14 inches expected, particularly in higher elevations. Winds will also be a factor, with occasional gusts reaching up to 45 mph.
