The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for much of Southcentral Alaska starting Sunday. The forecast is calling for 10 to 16 inches of snow in the Anchorage area.
The forecast says light snow is expected to begin Sunday afternoon across much of the Anchorage Bowl, with the heaviest snow falling late Sunday night and through Monday morning.
“Travel could be very difficult,” says the weather service. “The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute.” The incoming storm follows a record December snowstorm that hit Anchorage on Tuesday and continued into Wednesday, dropping more than 2 feet of snow in some parts of town. Road crews on Friday were still scrambling to clear streets. Anchorage schools closed for three straight days, and district officials say they’re aiming to make a call by 5:30 a.m. Monday on whether schools will be closed again.
