Description: 
High pressure over the Arctic will cause east winds to increase to 20 to 25 mph with gusts to 35 to 40 mph on Friday persisting through Sunday along the Arctic Coast. This will bring areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility, but a lack of widespread transportable snow will make these impacts scattered and some areas will see mostly good visibility. Winds and blowing snow will decrease Sunday night as high pressure weakens.
