...Snow Above 3000 Feet After Midnight Tonight...

Snow levels will drop to 2000-3000 ft across the Interior, Brooks
Range and Alaska Range after midnight tonight. Little if any snow
will accumulate below 3000 ft, while an inch or two of snow will 
accumulate by Saturday morning in areas above 3000 ft. Areas in 
the Alaska Range above 4000 ft could see 4-6 inches of snow by 
Saturday morning.

A strong Arctic cold front now over the West Coast of Alaska will
move east across the Interior late tonight and Saturday. This will 
bring much cooler temperatures along with the lower snow levels 
to the Interior, Alaska Range and Brooks Range after midnight 
tonight.

Winds and rain across the Interior will diminish Saturday 
afternoon and evening as high pressure builds over the Eastern 
Interior. Below freezing temperatures are expected near the ALCAN 
Border Saturday night. In Fairbanks clouds are expected to move 
in late Saturday night to keep temperatures above freezing. 

The Alaska Range could also see rock and mud slides through
tonight as more rain falls on saturated soils.
