Details from the National Weather Service

What
Blizzard conditions possible. Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to blowing and drifting snow. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph.
Where
Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, especially from Kipnuk north and west.
When
From Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon.
Impacts
Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility.
Additional details
Increasing northerly winds on Saturday will begin to loft snow that fell earlier in the week, leading to blowing and drifting snow that may significantly reduce visibilities. There is some uncertainty regarding the quantity of transportable snow. The highest chance of reduced visibility from blowing/drifting snow will be in areas that received more snowfall earlier in the week, particularly from Kipnuk north and west. Visibility will improve with diminishing winds on Monday.
