...Windy With Snow and Blowing Snow Sunday Night Through Tuesday...

A storm moving north over the Chukchi Sea Sunday night and Monday
is expected to bring strong southerly winds along with snow and 
blowing snow to the Western North Slope of Alaska from Point Hope 
to Utqiagvik from Sunday night into Monday. South winds could gust
between 30 and 50 mph and there could be near blizzard conditions
in snow and blowing snow. Snow fall amounts of 2 to 6 inches are 
possible, with the heaviest amounts near Point Hope and in the
Western Brooks Range. The strongest winds and lowest visibility 
are expected late Sunday night into Monday.
 
Another system moving up from the south will likely bring more 
winds, snow and blowing snow over northwest Alaska and the western
Brooks Range on Tuesday.
