Thompson Pass-
Including the cities of Thompson Pass
1153 AM AKST Sun Dec 7 2025
...BLIZZARD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM AKST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions. Winds gusting as high as 80 mph.
* WHERE...Thompson Pass.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM AKST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to
blowing and drifting of snow. Travel could be very difficult.
Frostbite may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic airmass continues to drive strong
winds through Thompson Pass. Snow already on the ground and strong
gap winds will continue to produce areas of blowing snow that may
significantly reduce visibility. Winds will gradually begin to
decrease Monday evening. Wind chills will remain near -40F.
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.
For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. 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.
Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is
winterized and in good working order.

...EXTREME VESSEL ICING POSSIBLE FROM NORTH AND WEST OF NUNIVAK
ISLAND TO CAPE NEWENHAM 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 filtering in from the Arctic, 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.
