...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY... Snowfall has increased in intensity and coverage overnight as a low tracks eastward across the Gulf towards the central panhandle. An estimated 2 to 4 inches has fallen overnight, these accumulations are separate from the next system set to affect the area through Saturday. Steady snowfall will continue through Saturday morning with rates increasing through the afternoon. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected to start by mid day along the coast, spreading eastward towards Hyder through Saturday night. As the low center tracks eastward through Saturday afternoon and evening, south to southwest wind will cause temperatures to warm over the southern outer coast with a mix or change to rain. Snow will then end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in. The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait Sunday into Monday with potential additional heavy snow for the Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward again. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 7 inches.
