Icy conditions will persist into New Year’s Eve, a Dec. 30 special weather statement from the National Weather Service said.
The statement — valid for the western Kenai Peninsula, western Prince William Sound, north to Anchorage and the Matanuska Valley — said a wintry mix of snow, sleet and rain will continue causing icy conditions through New Year’s Eve.
Warming temperatures, a wintry mix of precipitation and gusty winds will continue through Southcentral on Tuesday, causing slick roads and melting snowpack, the statement said.
Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 20s for the Kenai area for the rest of Monday, which will cause any rain and water on the roads to refreeze, making even icier conditions.
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day will see colder temperatures and snow.
The special weather statement encourages residents to stay tuned for updates on the “rapidly changing conditions.”
