May. 24th, 2017 06:54 pmFAIRBANKS - Snow is forecast to fall at higher elevations in Interior Alaska over the next few days, according to a National Weather Service special weather statement issued Wednesday.
The cold front was predicted to begin in the central Interior and Brooks Range Wednesday night and move east to the Canada border on Thursday. Cold weather is forecast to follow the snow, with a low around 32 in Fairbanks on Friday night.
The weather service predicts snow will fall but not stick at elevations above 1,000 feet and could accumulate to depths of 2 to 4 inches above elevations of 2,000 feet. This could impact Elliott, Dalton, Steese and Richardson highway mountain passes.
In Fairbanks, 1,000 feet is about the elevation of Birch Hill. If snow sticks above 2,000 feet as predicted it will put a layer of snow on the summits of Ester and Murphy domes.
Significantly more snow is forecast for the Alaska Range, with 6 to 11 inches expected to fall west of Polychrome Pass in Denali National Park.
