...SNOW POTENTIAL FOR THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE OVER THE WEEKEND...

Confidence is growing for the potential of significant
accumulating snow over the weekend. Specifically over parts of
far northern panhandle, with minor accumulations in the Icy
Strait corridor. This is due to a strong system that moves into
the panhandle Saturday night. As this system moves northward, a
rain/snow mix will initially be possible for parts of the Icy
Strait corridor, ranging from Pelican to Juneau. There is
possibility of minor snow accumulations in these locations, but
any accumulation is likely to be less than one inch.

Significantly more snow is expected for the far northern
panhandle, with confidence increasing for accumulating snow late
Saturday night through Sunday. In particular, the Klondike
Highway could receive between 7 to 15 inches of new snow. The
Haines Highway may also receive appreciable accumulating snow, but
confidence is lower due to warmer temperatures. Minor snow
accumulation is possible for Haines and Skagway into Sunday
morning, but confidence is low due to temperatures being warm
near sea level limiting any accumulation.

Additionally, gusty winds and periods of moderate to heavy
rainfall is expected across the northern panhandle Saturday night
into Sunday.
