...ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE PANHANDLE TO END THE WEEK... .A front moving across the gulf and developing low across the northern coast will bring snow showers to the panhandle beginning late Wednesday night. With stable cold dry continental air in place ahead of this system, precipitation is expected to remain snow throughout the event with high snow ratios. The initial frontal wave will push eastward into the panhandle with the northeast gulf coast seeing showers late tonight and highest snow accumulations expected along the outer coast with orographic enhancement. For most areas, snow is expected to be light and fluffy in nature due to cold temperatures both aloft and down to the surface. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 9 to 12 inches. * WHERE...Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait. * WHEN...From 3 AM Thursday to 6 AM AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow showers are expected to begin early Thursday morning and increase in intensity through the day as the initial frontal band pushes into the outer coast. A secondary batch of heavier showers is expected to impact the area soon afterwards as the surface low develops and begins to drop southward into the gulf.

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water with you in case of an emergency. People are urged to prepare their property before the onset of winter weather.
