Special Weather Statement
A winter storm is expected to move across the Interior next week.
This system may bring moderate snowfall and localized areas of
ice. The heaviest snowfall can be expected north and northwest of
Fairbanks, with moderate confidence of snowfall totals exceeding
6".
From Fairbanks south and east, temperatures may warm above
freezing Tuesday and Wednesday, which could result in a wintry mix
of precipitation at times.
From: Nov 29, 2025 01:34
Until: Nov 30, 2025 01:00
Special Weather Statement
A winter storm will be moving north out of the Gulf, providing a
good setup for heavy snowfall throughout the week. Confidence is
moderate on snowfall totals exceeding 6".
From: Nov 29, 2025 01:34
Until: Nov 30, 2025 01:00
Special Weather Statement
Snow showers continue across much the central and eastern
Interior. While most of the snowfall over the past 24 hours has
been mainly light with accumulations of 2 to 3 inches, a few
additional quick bursts of snow will remain possible through the
rest of the day Saturday. In general an additional 1 to 2 inches
of snowfall will be possible through tonight.
The overall band of snowfall will slowly shift east and southeast
tonight through early Sunday. While a few additional light snow
showers will be possible prior to noon Sunday, any additional snow
accumulations for Sunday will be negligible.
Colder and drier conditions will begin to filter in Sunday with
below normal conditions expected for much of next week.
From: Nov 22, 2025 22:47

Special Weather Statement
Snow showers have begun across the central and eastern Interior.
Circle Hot Springs reported a quick 2.4 inches through 9am Friday
morning, and 3.0 inches was reported at Chicken. Heavier snow
bands embedded within this system will lead to widely varying snow
totals across the region. Snow will taper off Saturday night and
Sunday.
South of the Chatanika River, expect around 2 to 4 inches of
snow, including in Fairbanks. In Fairbanks, there is a 30% chance
for 4-6+ inches as the heaviest is only about 30 miles northeast.
This would only be possible if the localized heavier banding
moves overhead, which is possible.
The heaviest snow near Fairbanks will be in the hills off of
Chena Hot Springs Road where 4 to 7 inches are expected. Expect 3
to 6 inches in the White Mountains National Recreation Area and
heavier amounts up to 12 inches north and east of Eagle Summit.
From Manley Hot Springs to Bettles, expect 1 to 3 inches with
lesser amounts to the west.
From Nenana to Denali Park and Cantwell, expect 2 to 3 inches.
Expect 1 to 3 inches around Delta Junction, but up to 8 inches
along the Richardson Highway near Trims Camp.
