...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY...
.Snow showers from the Gulf of Alaska will continue through
Friday morning at least. Additional snowfall accumulations of
3 to 5 inches are expected through Friday, with some locally
higher amounts possible. Snowfall accumulations will be widely

showers. Rates as high as 1 inch per hour and visibilities down to
1/2 mile or less will be possible within any heavier showers that
repeatedly move over the same location. A relative lull in the
heaviest bands of showers is likely for most areas later on
Friday, but it will be brought to an end as more snow sweeps into
the panhandle for the weekend.
