First significant snowfall of the season
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Snow is expected to develop through the morning around Southcentral. Anchorage is under a Winter Weather Advisory starting at 10 a.m. Monday with 6 to 9 inches of snow possible. Higher totals could hit parts of the Hillside by Tuesday afternoon.
The western Kenai is also under a Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions starting at 10 a.m. Monday and lasting until 1 p.m. on Tuesday. Temperatures will be well above freezing so look for a rain-snow mix for much of the Kenai on Monday. This will likely freeze overnight into Tuesday morning.
A Winter Storm Warning will go into effect at 10 a.m. Monday for the Mat-Su Valley from Wasilla to the west and Talkeetna south. Snow totals of 9 to 12 inches are expected across the region. Snow totals will get lighter heading east near Palmer where you can expect to see 2 to 5 inches of snow from this storm.
The main challenges will be the Monday night and Tuesday morning commutes. Leave extra space and give yourself extra time on the streets.
