...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY... Snowfall has increased in intensity and coverage overnight as a low tracks eastward across the Gulf towards the central panhandle. An estimated 2 to 4 inches has fallen overnight, these accumulations are separate from the next system set to affect the area through Saturday. Steady snowfall will continue through Saturday morning with rates increasing through the afternoon. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected to start by mid day along the coast, spreading eastward towards Hyder through Saturday night. As the low center tracks eastward through Saturday afternoon and evening, south to southwest wind will cause temperatures to warm over the southern outer coast with a mix or change to rain. Snow will then end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in. The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait Sunday into Monday with potential additional heavy snow for the Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward again. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches. Winds gusting as high as 35 mph. * WHERE...Admiralty Island, Western Kupreanof Island and Kuiu Island, Port Alexander, and Prince of Wales Island. * WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snowfall rates expected Saturday afternoon.
Slow down and use caution while traveling. People are urged to prepare their property before the onset of winter weather. For the latest road conditions, where available, call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.

...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY... Steady snowfall continues across a majority of the panhandle and will continue to pick up as the low moves into the eastern gulf through Saturday afternoon. Later in the afternoon and evening, south to southwest wind are expected to cause temperatures to warm over the southern outer coast with precipitation becoming a mix or changing to all rain. Around the same time, snow will end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau and northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in. The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait Sunday into Monday with additional heavy snow expected for the Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward once again. * WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches. * WHERE...Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island and Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait. * WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST this evening. * IMPACTS...Travel will be difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snowfall rates are expected through the afternoon hours.
