Snowfall accumulations will be variable across the area due to the hit or miss nature of these showers. Rates as high as 1 inch per hour and visibilities down to 1 mile or less will be possible within any heavier showers that repeatedly move over the same location. These showers can also bring infrequent periods of increased wind gusts up to 40 mph. For the southern panhandle communities, temperatures are expected to start cooling through Sunday with bands of snow moving through the southern and central panhandle by the afternoon into Sunday night, prompting the longer duration Winter Weather Advisory. Accumulations in the south will be the highest on the higher elevations of Prince of Wales Island midday Sunday, but more accumulations expected at sea level by Sunday evening and night as temperatures cool through Sunday evening. * WHAT...Snow.
