Description:
...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK...
.A stationary low in the northern Gulf of Alaska will send
several bands of snow showers across the northern and central
panhandle through the week, producing widely variable snow
accumulations. A more organized band of showers is pushing into
portions of the northern and central panhandle Tuesday morning.
Another organized band is likely to push through late Tuesday
night through Wednesday. The Winter Weather Advisories have been
expanded further southward given expected heavier precipitation
rates leading to a transition to more snow. Advisories could be
upgraded to Winter Storm Warnings if heavier snow showers
continue over the same area.

snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches through the afternoon. For
the second Winter Weather Advisory, snow expected. Total snow

AM to 7 PM AKDT Wednesday.
* IMPACTS...Travel by land and air could be impacted.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...A band of snow showers moves through on
Tuesday. Another band will move through late Tuesday night
into Wednesday. Times of heavy snow showers can quickly reduce
visibilities to below 1 mile. The convective nature of snow
showers will result in variable accumulations.
