...HEAVY SNOW RETURNS TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON MONDAY... .A weather system will arrive late Sunday night and sweep into southeast Alaska, bringing heavy snowfall across the region on Monday. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected through Monday morning and into the afternoon. An initial warmup moving up from the south is expected through the afternoon and overnight hours on Monday, resulting in some locations changing over to a rain and rain/snow mix for areas along and south of the Icy Strait Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau. However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will more than likely see a switch back to snow. Main forecast challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable snowfall accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the hit or miss nature of the showers, warnings and advisories could be extended into Tuesday. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches. Winds gusting as high as 30 mph. * WHERE...Ketchikan Gateway Borough and Annette Island. * WHEN...From 6 AM to 3 PM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel by land, sea, and air will be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the evening commute. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Precipitation will initially start as all snow, before quickly changing over to rain as warm air surges northward through Monday afternoon. Areas at elevation may receive additional locally higher snow accumulations.

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.
