A low pressure system over the southern gulf continues to send several waves of snow and rain/snow mix into the southern panhandle. Bands of hit-or-miss snow showers. Total snow accumulations will be highly dependent on temperatures. Afternoon temperatures could reach the mid to upper 30s, especially near the coast, possibly limiting overall snow accumulation. Further inland, areas could stay colder and receive higher amounts, especially the higher elevations of the Prince of Wales Island road system. * WHAT...Snow. Additional snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches. * WHERE...Ketchikan Gateway Borough. * WHEN...Until 10 AM AKDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Total snow accumulations will be highly dependent on daytime temperatures.
