Description:
...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL
FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY...
Steady snowfall continues across a majority of the panhandle and
will continue as the low moves into the eastern gulf through
Saturday night before beginning to diminish.
South to southwest winds are causing temperatures to warm over
the southern outer coast with precipitation becoming a mix or
changing to all rain. Through Saturday night, snow will end on
the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau and 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 additional heavy snow expected 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 once again.
