...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
PANHANDLE THROUGH MONDAY...
.A weakening open low is located over Baranof Island as of 2AM
AKST, with persistent snow showers ongoing across the southern
central and southern panhandle. Minor forecast update increasing
forecast snowfall accumulations for Kake and Petersburg and
extending in time a few hours with the wave of showers slowing a
bit. Otherwise the forecast remains on track. Snow showers may
bring visibility down to less then a mile at times, with light to
moderate snowfall rates expected. Localized higher snowfall rates

over northern Baranof and Chichagof Islands, communities such as
