...HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES FOR THE PANHANDLE THIS WEEKEND... .Snowfall is continuing for much of the northern half panhandle, with the snowfall rate satellite product indicating up to an inch per hour rates moving into the Juneau and Icy Strait corridor area. The rain snow line is currently around Frederick Sound over to around Tenakee Springs. Sheltered areas such as Petersburg or the north Tongass Road in Ketchikan remain holdouts for complete changeover due to lack of turbulent mixing of wind. Still expecting to see another surge of moisture and warmth from the south Sunday and Monday, both raising snow levels and converting any falling snow to wet and dense characteristic or to rain. The rain/snow line then shifts northward to Icy Strait and the Juneau area on Sunday, bringing a mix or chance of freezing rain. The rain/snow line wavers in this area through Monday. Please stay tuned to future updates on this impactful storm. * WHAT...Heavy Snow. Additional snow accumulations of 7 to 12 inches and ice accumulations of less than one tenth of an inch. Areas past Auke Bay could exceed 12 inches through Sunday. * WHERE...Glacier Bay and City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute. Heavy wet snow will be difficult to manage due to high water content. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Gustavus has received 12-17 inches of snow, and Juneau has received 7-10 inches so far. The rain/snow line will reach the Juneau and Gustavus areas on Sunday with potential for pockets of freezing rain, resulting in a significant difference in snow accumulations depending on where in Juneau and Gustavus the rain/snow line moves. At this time, there is around a 20-40% chance of freezing rain mixing in with existing rain/snow. Out the road in Juneau is more likely to see all snow throughout the event, while Downtown Juneau is more likely to see more rain than snow through much of Sunday. A change back to all snow could occur Sunday night into Monday.

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water with you in case of an emergency. For the latest road conditions, where available, call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
