The storm poses significant travel risks, particularly in Alaska and mountainous regions of the northern Plains. In Alaska, blowing snow could reduce visibility to below one-quarter mile, making travel very difficult, especially along the Dalton Highway and Atigun Pass. In the Black Hills and surrounding areas, slushy road conditions may develop, complicating commutes. Drivers across affected states should remain cautious as wet pavement, falling temperatures, and reduced visibility could lead to hazardous driving conditions even in areas with limited snow accumulation.
