Chugach National Forest
Special Weather Statement issued April 30 at 1:08PM AKDT by NWS Anchorage AK
A frontal system will lift a plume of moisture from the tropical Pacific into Prince William Sound and along the coastal mountains through Saturday morning. The bulk of this precipitation will fall in the form of heavy wet snow through Thompson Pass as temperatures range from 29 to 33 degrees. 7 to 12 inches of snow is possible Friday morning through Saturday morning with the heaviest falling Friday evening through early Saturday morning. Southeasterly winds may gust up to 30 mph at times throughout the event. The combination of snow and gusty winds may reduce visibility through the Pass to as low as one-half mile at times. There is the possibility that rain may mix in at times, especially during the Friday afternoon hours. If rain does mix in with snow, expect lower snowfall amounts. Slow down and use caution while traveling. For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
