Snow is not uncommon during the month of August in Alaska’s high elevations and this weekend looks to see the first significant snowfall over primarily the North slope and Brooks range in the north of the state. A low is currently developing along the tail of a southbound cold front and this opens the door to arctic air spilling south. Wind associated with the low could present blizzard conditions in some areas.

GFS bullish on snow and chill!
