A winter storm is moving through the area and although the core area of the Borough is not expected to be heavily impacted, Anchorage and the eastern areas of the Borough are likely to receive heavy snow.

The National Weather Service is calling for up to 16 inches of snow in the mountainous part of the Borough along the Glenn Highway east of the 30 Mile Lake area and north past the Borough boundary east of Denali State Park.

In the core area we are expecting about an inch of snow today and possibly three more inches overnight with higher amounts in higher elevations. The Saturday forecast calls for one to three inches of additional snow.

Borough road maintenance teams will continue to work the roadways throughout the weekend. Please drive carefully and expect slick conditions on curves, hills and at intersections.
