Winter Weather Advisory
Issued: 1:42 PM Dec. 25, 2025 – National Weather Service
...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS EVENING TO 11 PM AKST FRIDAY... * WHAT...Snow and blowing snow expected. Visibilities reduced to one half mile or less at times due to blowing snow. Total snow accumulations 5 to 10 inches from Quinhagak to the Western Capes, and up to 4 inches north of Quinhagak. Northerly winds gusting as high as 40-55 mph. * WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta and Western Capes. * WHEN...From 9 PM this evening to 11 PM AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one half mile or less due to blowing snow. Travel could be very difficult. This may affect Christmas and other holiday plans. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Confidence is highest for heavy snow and blowing snow from Quinhagak south to the Western Capes. North of Quinhagak, confidence is high for gusty winds, but low for whether snow will make it far enough north to cause significant visibility reductions. Current thinking is that most Kuskowim Delta communities (except for coastal communities north of Chefornak) will see blowing snow. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Slow down and use caution while traveling. &&
Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 11:30 PM Dec. 24, 2025 – National Weather Service
...EXTREME VESSEL ICING POSSIBLE FROM EAST OF SAINT MATTHEW ISLAND TO BRISTOL BAY THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... Northeasterly winds in combination with frigid Arctic air will likely lead to extreme vessel icing at rates of 4 cm per hour or greater. Extreme freezing spray is likely from east of Saint Matthew Island to Cape Newenham. Extreme freezing spray is possible further south in Bristol Bay. Winds diminish on Monday, which should cause icing rates to decrease by Monday afternoon. Operating a vessel in heavy to extreme freezing spray is hazardous. Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic components inoperable. Rapid ice accretion on decks and superstructures may result in catastrophic loss of stability.
