The Alaska Weather Source team has issued a First Alert Weather Day for Thursday, anticipating significant snowfall across Southcentral Alaska. Forecast models confirm that a snow event is approaching the region.
An area of low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska is drawing wet weather into the southeast and sending moisture toward Southcentral, triggering a November snowfall. Snow is expected to begin around midday and continue through the evening hours.
