Prudhoe Bay, Alaska —

What is happening:

A blizzard warning is in effect for the Central and Eastern Beaufort Sea Coast of Alaska's North Slope. Blizzard conditions are expected from 9 PM tonight through 6 AM Wednesday, Alaska time. Snow totals will stay light, up to two inches, but winds gusting as high as 55 miles per hour will drive blowing snow across the coast, and visibility could drop to a quarter mile or less at times.

Local impacts:

Travel could become very difficult at times as blowing snow cuts visibility and whiteout conditions develop. Strong winds could knock out power in some spots along the coast.

What to do:

A blizzard warning means severe winter weather is expected, with falling and blowing snow and strong winds that can create whiteout conditions and make travel extremely dangerous. If you must travel, carry a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay in your vehicle and wait for help.
