Blizzard Warning
Issued: 1:02 PM Dec. 6, 2025 – National Weather Service
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 3 PM AKST MONDAY... * WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to blowing and drifting snow. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph. Wind Chills falling to as low as 35 below zero by Saturday night. * WHERE...Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, especially from Kipnuk north and west. * WHEN...From 3 PM this afternoon to 3 PM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. Frostbite may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Increasing northerly winds today will begin to loft snow that fell earlier in the week, leading to blowing and drifting snow that may significantly reduce visibilities. There is some uncertainty regarding the quantity of transportable snow. Visibility reductions from blowing/drifting snow will be lowest in areas that received more snowfall earlier in the week, particularly from Kipnuk north and west. Visibility will improve with diminishing winds on Monday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel very hazardous. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle. &&
Marine Weather Statement
Issued: 12:57 PM Dec. 6, 2025 – National Weather Service
...EXTREME VESSEL ICING POSSIBLE FROM NORTH AND WEST OF NUNIVAK ISLAND TO CAPE NEWENHAM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... Northeasterly winds in combination with Arctic Air surging south across the Bering Sea is likely to lead to extreme vessel icing at rates of 4 cm per hour or greater. As colder air filters in from the Arctic over the weekend, northerly winds will intensify across the eastern Bering Sea. These factors will cause extreme freezing spray to spread south and west from the Kuskokwim Delta. Heavy to extreme freezing spray will extend from Cape Newenham to north and west of Nunivak Island beginning Saturday morning. Extreme freezing spray is also possible out of Kvichak Bay as far west as Cape Constantine. 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.
