Winter Weather Advisory

* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations 1 to 5 inches, highest amounts above 1000 feet elevation. Ice accumulations of a trace to a light glaze. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph, mainly across southern parts of the Anchorage Hillside, including Upper Potter Valley and Bear Valley.

* WHERE...Anchorage and Eagle River Hillsides.

* WHEN...From 11 PM this evening to 9 AM AKST Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. Strong winds could cause damage to trees and power lines.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The timing of precipitation has changed and the advisory start time has been pushed back to tonight. For mid to late this afternoon, expect a brief period of light snow with little to no accumulation. The evening hours will then be mostly dry before precipitation moves back in during the overnight hours. Snow will transition to freezing rain overnight before becoming all rain with above freezing temperatures Tuesday morning. There is increased confidence in a quicker warm-up, meaning less snow accumulation and a quicker changeover to rain.
