阿拉斯加州布鲁克斯岭南坡迎强降雪 气象局预警降雪可达16英寸
美国国家气象局费尔班克斯办公室10月26日发布冬季天气预警：阿拉斯加州中布鲁克斯岭（Brooks Range）南坡将迎来强降雪，预计积雪8至16英寸，阵风最高可达每小时35英里，预警持续至26日晚间。阿蒂贡山口（Atigun Pass）一带另有3至6英寸降雪，阵风可达每小时55英里。
气象局警告，吹雪将使能见度显著降低，局部地区不足四分之一英里，出行可能非常困难。气象局提醒驾驶者，出发前应查询国家气象局警报和州公路路况，尤其是山区路线和道尔顿公路。
这场冬季风暴10月26日同时影响美国七个州：除阿拉斯加外，科罗拉多、怀俄明、蒙大拿、内布拉斯加、南达科他和北达科他等落基山及北部平原州也面临初冬降雪，其中黑山地区周一可能出现泥泞湿滑的路况。
Southern Slopes of Alaska's Brooks Range Brace for Heavy Snow; Forecasters Warn of Up to 16 Inches
The National Weather Service office in Fairbanks issued a winter weather warning on October 26: the southern slopes of Alaska's central Brooks Range are expected to receive heavy snow, with accumulations of 8 to 16 inches and wind gusts up to 35 mph, through Monday night. The Atigun Pass area is separately forecast to get 3 to 6 inches with gusts reaching 55 mph.
The Weather Service warned that blowing snow will significantly reduce visibility, to below one quarter mile at times in places, and that travel could be very difficult. Drivers were urged to check National Weather Service alerts and state highway reports before setting out, particularly on mountain routes and the Dalton Highway.
The winter storm is affecting seven U.S. states on October 26: beyond Alaska, the Rockies and northern Plains states of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota also face early-season snow, with slushy conditions possible around the Black Hills on Monday.
