...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...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 8 inches. * WHERE...City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...Until 3 AM AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow showers will begin to impact the area early Thursday. There is the possibility of an additional round of further snow showers Thursday evening into Friday as the low tracks southward along the outer coast and easterly winds aloft increase.

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.

...ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE PANHANDLE TO END THE WEEK... .A front moving across the gulf has begun to impact the panhandle with snow showers spreading along the outer coast and reaching southward to Petersburg and Wrangell as of 1045 am Thursday. The highest snow accumulations are still expected along the outer coast with orographic enhancement. A secondary batch of heavier showers will develop along the northern panhandle and progress southward as a deformation band associated with the surface low Thursday night into Friday. For inland areas, snow is expected to be light and fluffy in nature due to cold temperatures both aloft and down to the surface. Coastal communities will likely see wetter snow due to slightly warming surface temperatures through the day. * WHAT...Snow. Additional snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches. * WHERE...City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...Until 9 AM AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the evening and morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow showers have begun to impact the area and rates have picked up since early this morning, with almost 0.5 inches of snowfall at the forecast office as of 945 am. There is increasing confidence that heavier snow showers Thursday evening will last into Friday morning and impact the morning commute as the low dips southward into the gulf and a deformation band sets up.

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.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
