Description:
...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK...
.Snow showers from the Gulf of Alaska will continue through
Friday morning at least. Additional snowfall accumulations of 3 to
7 inches are expected through Friday, with some locally higher
amounts possible. A more organized area of showers is currently
moving through the northern panhandle as of 1 pm Thursday,
bringing heavier snow showers with visibilities down to less then
a mile at times. However, accumulations will be limited during
the daytime due to warmer temperatures as we are now into the
latter half of March. In addition, snowfall accumulations will be
widely variable across the area due to the hit or miss nature of
the 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 on
later on Friday, but more snow will likely sweep into the
panhandle for the weekend.
