...INTERMITTENT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY...

.Numerous snow showers are continuing to make their way across
the gulf and overspreading the panhandle today. A more organized
band of showers developed near the Icy Strait corridor and Juneau
this morning that is being enhanced by the addition of
overrunning of cold air starting to blow in from the north. Snow
continues around Juneau, Hoonah, Gustavus and Pelican currently
and should start to diminish through the afternoon. Areas farther
south will see additional snowfall today as the showers over the
gulf continue to stream in from the west, gradually tapering off
from north to south through the day. Snowfall accumulations will
be highly variable due to hit or miss nature of showers and
locally higher amounts are expected. Temperatures will continue to
gradually fall through Thursday across the northern panhandle.

...POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOW STARTING
SATURDAY...

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.
