Blizzard in Yukon Delta, Alaska
Blizzard December 13, 2015 · Yukon Delta, Alaska
The wider storm
A 929 mb low pressure center stalled over the Bering Sea just west of the Pribilof Islands on the 13th. The associated occluded front moved toward the southwest coast of Alaska and likely produced blizzard conditions at several locations over the Yukon Delta. Visibilities were reduced to at least one-quarter mile at Cape Romanzof, and were likely this low at Scammon Bay and Marshall, though the visibility sensor from the AWOS/AWSS sensors were missing for a large part of the event. Winds gusted as high as 59 mph (51 kt) at Cape Romanzof, and to 54 mph (47 kt) at Marshall.
