...HEAVY SNOW RETURNS TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON MONDAY... ..A weather system arriving late Sunday night will sweep into southeast Alaska on Monday, bringing with it heavy snow across the region. An initial warmup moving up from the south through the afternoon and overnight hours on Monday will result in some locations changing over to a rain and snow mix along the Icy Strait Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau, as well as areas farther to the south. However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will more likely see a switch back to snow resulting in significant accumulations on Tuesday. * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 15 to 20 inches are possible. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph, potentially causing blizzard conditions. * WHERE...City and Borough of Yakutat. * WHEN...From late Sunday night through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...Travel by land, air and sea could be difficult. Gusty winds could lead to substantially reduced visibilities and drifting of snow in blizzard conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The heaviest snowfall rates are expected Monday. A changeover to rain is expected Monday night to rain, although a changeover back to snow is possible late Tuesday.

Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.

...HEAVY SNOW RETURNS TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON MONDAY... .A weather system will arrive late Sunday night and sweep into southeast Alaska, bringing heavy snowfall across the region on Monday. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected through Monday morning and into the afternoon.

However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will more than likely see a switch back to snow. Main forecast challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable snowfall accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the hit or miss nature of the showers, warnings and advisories could be extended into Tuesday. * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 7 to 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...City and Borough of Yakutat. * WHEN...From midnight tonight to 3 PM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel by land, sea, and air will be be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The heaviest snowfall rates are expected Monday.
