Residents in various parts of Alaska are advised to exercise caution as multiple weather advisories are in effect. Cordova, Valdez, and Thompson Pass are under a Winter Weather Advisory with expectations of snow accumulations and reduced visibility due to blowing snow, which could make travel difficult. Seward is also experiencing similar conditions with light snow and gusty winds expected to last through the evening. Arctic Village is facing a Cold Weather Advisory with dangerously cold wind chills that could cause frostbite on exposed skin within minutes. Fairbanks is under a Dense Fog Advisory with very low visibility, and the Petersburg Borough area is undergoing minor flooding due to heavy rains and snowmelt, creating hazardous conditions on roadways. A Flood Watch is in place for areas such as Prince of Wales and the Southern and Central Inner Channels, with potential flooding of rivers, streams, and roadways due to excessive runoff and snowmelt. Lastly, the Northern Panhandle, including the City and Borough of Yakutat, is under a Winter Storm Warning with heavy snowfall, making travel very difficult. Residents in these areas should stay updated on the latest conditions and avoid non-essential travel.
