Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island-Interior Kuskokwim Delta-
Including the cities of Toksook Bay, Mekoryuk, Kwethluk,
Quinhagak, Kasigluk, Akiachak, Kipnuk, and Bethel
105 PM AKST Sat Dec 6 2025
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 3 PM AKST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Visibilities reduced to
one-quarter mile or less due to blowing and drifting snow. Winds
gusting as high as 60 mph. Wind Chills falling to as low as 35
below zero by Saturday night.
* WHERE...Interior Kuskokwim Delta from north and west of Bethel,
including Nunapitchuk, and the Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak
Island, especially from Kipnuk north and west.
* WHEN...Until 3 PM AKST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce
visibility. Frostbite may occur in as little as 10 minutes on
exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Increasing northerly winds today will begin
to loft snow that fell earlier in the week, leading to blowing and
drifting snow that may significantly reduce visibilities. There is
some uncertainty regarding the quantity of transportable snow.
Visibility reductions from blowing/drifting snow will be lowest in
areas that received more snowfall earlier in the week,
particularly from Kipnuk north and west as well as from north and
west of Bethel, including Nunapitchuk. Visibility will improve
with diminishing winds on Monday.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel very hazardous. If you must travel, have a
winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your
vehicle.

* WHERE...Thompson Pass.
* WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to

may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic airmass will continue to drive
colder air and strong winds through Thompson Pass. The combination
of snow already on the ground, along with additional snowfall
expected and strong gap winds, will likely lead to snow and
blowing snow that may severely reduce visibility. Snow is likely
to taper off starting Sunday morning, however, gusty winds will
persist.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel very hazardous. Persons should delay
travel if possible. If you must travel, have a winter survival kit
with you, and make sure your car is winterized and in good working
order. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes
will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

...EXTREME VESSEL ICING POSSIBLE FROM NORTH AND WEST OF NUNIVAK
ISLAND TO CAPE NEWENHAM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH MONDAY
AFTERNOON...
Northeasterly winds in combination with Arctic Air surging south
across the Bering Sea is likely to lead to extreme vessel icing
at rates of 4 cm per hour or greater.
As colder air filters in from the Arctic over the weekend,
northerly winds will intensify across the eastern Bering Sea.
These factors will cause extreme freezing spray to spread south
and west from the Kuskokwim Delta. Heavy to extreme freezing spray
will extend from Cape Newenham to north and west of Nunivak
Island beginning Saturday morning. Extreme freezing spray is also
possible out of Kvichak Bay as far west as Cape Constantine. Winds
diminish on Monday, which should cause icing rates to decrease by
Monday afternoon.
Operating a vessel in heavy to extreme freezing spray is
hazardous. Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic
components inoperable. Rapid ice accretion on decks and
superstructures may result in catastrophic loss of stability.
