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.
