...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK... .The Winter Weather Advisories have been expanded in area and extended in time through Thursday morning as scattered to numerous bands snow showers are expected to continually push into the panhandle through the late week. Another organized band is likely to push through the area late Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Snowfall accumulations of 6 to 10 inches are expected through Thursday, with some locally higher amounts possible. However, accumulations will be limited during the daytime due to warmer temperatures as we move into late March. In addition, snowfall accumulations will be widely variable across the advisory areas due to the hit or miss nature of the showers, however rates as high as 1 inch per hour will be possible within any heavier showers that repeatedly move over the same location. Advisories could be upgraded to short-fuse Winter Storm Warnings if heavier snow showers continue over the same area. * WHAT...Snow. Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 10 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Visibilities reduced to 1 mile or less. * WHERE...Yakutat, Skagway, White Pass, Haines, Hoonah, Tenakee Springs, Gustavus, Juneau, Sitka, Angoon, and Petersburg. * WHEN...Until 10 AM AKDT Thursday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An organized band of snow showers is moving across the panhandle this afternoon. Another heavier band of snow will move through late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Due to the showery nature of the snow, accumulations will be highly variable with periods of melting in sunny breaks. Snow showers are expected to then continue through at least Thursday morning.

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.
