Thompson Pass-
Including the cities of Thompson Pass
533 AM AKST Fri Dec 5 2025
...BLIZZARD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AKST SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations
between 8 and 16 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 55
mph. Wind chills falling to as low as 35 below zero by Sunday
morning.
* WHERE...Thompson Pass.
* WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to
snow and blowing snow. Travel could be very difficult. Frostbite
may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic airmass will drive colder air and
strong winds through Thompson Pass beginning later today. 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.
For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.

Kuskokwim Delta from 15 to 80 NM-North and West of Nunivak Island-
553 AM AKST Fri Dec 5 2025
...EXTREME VESSEL ICING POSSIBLE FROM NORTH AND WEST OF NUNIVAK
ISLAND TO CAPE NEWENHAM SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
Northeasterly winds in combination with Arctic Air could 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,
northeasterly winds will intensify across the eastern Bering Sea.
These factors will cause extreme freezing spray which will 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 by Saturday. Areas of extremem freezing spray is
possible through Kvichak Bay as well. It will likely last through
Tuesday.
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.
