## extract

Special Weather Statement — Central Brooks Range; Romanzof Mountains
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
A cold front is currently moving northwest to southeast across
the North Slope. As the front reaches the Brooks Range,
precipitation begins as rain then transitions to a mix this
afternoon/evening. There is uncertainty with exact precipitation
types, but Anaktuvuk Pass should mix with snow and freezing
drizzle between 3 PM and 5 PM resulting in a glaze of ice on
elevated surfaces as temperatures drop near freezing this evening.
Atigun Pass should transition to all snow by 4 PM with snow
accumulations around a few inches. With rain and surface
temperatures above freezing to start the event, snow is not
expected to stick to the road immediately. With any heavier rates
tonight, some slushy accumulations are possible. As the snow ends
tonight, temperatures plummet into the 20s which could result in
patches of ice by Friday morning. Any patches of ice will melt by
the early afternoon as temperatures rise above freezing.
