...Moderate to Heavy Precipitation Friday Evening through
Saturday Night...

A strong frontal system moving north off a low pressure system in
the Gulf of Alaska will bring widespread wrap around precipitation
across the Eastern Interior through Saturday night. Heavy
rain/snow showers are expected to begin Friday morning at higher
elevations, in the Fortymile Country, and White Mountains.
Moderate rain showers are expected to reach Fairbanks Friday
afternoon, transitioning to rain/snow mix overnight and into
Saturday. Snow accumulations are expected to be 2-5 inches in the
White Mountains and Fortymile Country above 1500 ft, with little
to no accumulations for areas within the Interior Valleys. Total
rain amounts will be between 0.1" to 0.25".

Due to model variability, there is low confidence regarding the
exact placement and timing of the highest precipitation amounts
across the Eastern Interior. Locally higher amounts of rain up to
0.5" is possible for the Interior Valleys.

Wet road conditions may become slippery at times. Exercise
caution while driving.
