...PERIODS OF SNOW SHOWERS THROUGH THURSDAY... .Snow showers are making their way across the gulf and will continue to stream in from the west through Wednesday night. Sea level temperatures from Angoon and Sitka southward are still in the mid to upper 30s as of 3 pm which is resulting in more of a mix in precip type where the showers are starting up. Expect those temperatures to start to decrease later this evening with showers becoming more widespread and precip types at low elevations becoming more snow. Yakutat is already seeing heavier snow showers which will continue to move into that area into early this evening. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches.

There is an increasing potential for accumulating snow to impact the area starting Saturday and going through the start of next week. Currently, cold air looks to become entrenched in the Inner Channels while moisture is expected to move onshore from the Gulf of Alaska starting this weekend. The highest confidence for snow looks to be around the central panhandle from Wrangell and Petersburg up to the Icy Strait corridor including Juneau. There is some disagreement on the exact location of the heaviest snow which could shift what communities see the most accumulations. Part of this will depend on where the cold air sets up across the Inner Channels. Places that stay south of the colder air will see more rain than snow for precip accumulations.

After the currently ongoing snow showers depart the area, there is increasing potential for more significant accumulating snow to impact the area starting Saturday and going through the start of next work-week. Currently, deep layer of cold air looks to become entrenched over the Inner Channels while appreciable moisture is expected to move onshore from the Gulf of Alaska starting this weekend, giving an overrunning event. The highest confidence for snowfall looks to be around the central Panhandle from Wrangell and Petersburg up to the Icy Strait Corridor, including Juneau. There is some disagreement on the exact location of the heaviest snowfall, which could shift what communities see the greatest accumulations. Part of this will depend on where the cold air sets up across the Inner Channels. Places that stay south of the colder air will see more rain than snow for precip accumulations.
