Kenai National Wildlife Refuge

* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations

ranging from 1 to 8 inches and ice accumulations up to one tenth of

an inch. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph, mainly along the coast.

* WHERE...NW Kenai Peninsula, SW Kenai Peninsula, and Skilak Lake.

* WHEN...From noon Monday to noon AKST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions

will impact the Monday evening and Tuesday morning commutes. Along

the coast, gusty winds could bring down a few tree branches. Roads,

and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and

hazardous.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A strong storm system moving across the Gulf

of Alaska will bring a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain to much

of the western Kenai Peninsula between Monday afternoon and midday

Tuesday. Precipitation will likely start as all snow Monday

afternoon, then begin mixing with freezing rain between Monday

evening and early Tuesday morning. A transition to plain rain is

possible by late Tuesday morning as temperatures warm above

freezing. Uncertainty for the timing of precipitation type

transition remains high, with a later transition to rain and

freezing rain possibly lead
