A winter interlude hits northern Alaska

ANCHORAGE, AK (KTUU) – A winter storm warning for heavy snow was issued for the Dalton highway Monday as a winter storm impacts the area.

The warning cautions that 7 to 12 inches of snow could hinder travel on the transportation corridor. The warning will remain in place through 4 p.m. Tuesday. Snow is also likely along the northern portion of the state, even though there are no advisories in effect.

Cloud cover will persist over Alaska with scattered showers. Some convective cells fired up in the interior and a few lightning strikes were noted near Paxson.

Drier conditions and sunny breaks are also a part of the forecast this week.

Southeast Alaska continues to see a chance of showers, as does Southcentral to the Interior Tuesday and Wednesday, but overall, a drier stretch of weather is expected for the state.
