* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations up to
two inches. Winds gusting as high as 55 mph.

* WHERE...Central Beaufort Sea Coast & Eastern Beaufort Sea Coast.

* WHEN...From 9 PM this evening to 6 AM Akst Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult at times. Areas of blowing
snow will significantly reduce visibility. Strong winds could
result in some power outages. Visibilities dropping to as low as
1/4 mile or less are expected at times, resulting in blizzard
conditions, depending on the intensity of the falling snow & the
severity of the blowing snow.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...East-northeast winds will increase as we
progress into Tuesday & generally remain elevated through midweek.
Scattered light snow showers are expected to continue during this
timeframe with the blizzard conditions most likely to start along
with the onset of steadier snowfall & heavier snowfall rates, which
will occur from late tonight through Tuesday & last through Tuesday
night.

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds are
likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel
extremely dangerous. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit
with you. If you get stranded, stay in your vehicle.
