...Widespread Snowfall Expected This Weekend...

A warm and moist low pressure system out in the northern Bering Sea
makes its way into Western Alaska beginning late Friday night into
Saturday. This storm is expected to bring widespread snowfall to
much of the West Coast and Interior through Saturday evening. High
end snowfall is expected to be between 4" to 8", with low end
snowfall amounts between 2" to 5". Locally higher snowfall amounts
are possible in areas where the heaviest snow bands set up. Exact
snowfall location and amounts are still uncertain for right now, but
we will continue to update over the next couple of days.
