...ACCUMULATING SNOW POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND INTO NEXT WEEK...



While parts of the central and southern panhandle continue to dig

out from the latest storm that is coming to a close, our next

system is on the horizon already. This system looks to potentially

bring accumulating snow the central panhandle and as far north as

the Icy Strait corridor including Juneau. Right now, there is

moderate confidence in accumulating snowfall starting Saturday 

evening for locations such as Petersburg. Farther north, Angoon 

could see snow starting to fall as soon as late Saturday evening 

and Sitka looks to potentially get into the snow by early Sunday 

morning. These locations will likely stay all snow as the warm 

air associated with this surge of moisture does not appear strong 

enough to warm up locations north of Sumner Strait. 



Farther north, the Icy Strait corridor including Juneau

continues to have less confidence as there is concerns about the 

moisture making it far enough north as well as be able to make it 

through the cold, dry air and reach the surface. If enough 

moisture is able to make it north, these locations could get in on

some potential accumulating snow. But if the moisture struggles 

to make it far enough north or there is not enough moisture, the 

Icy Strait corridor could likely see just some light snow 

accumulations.

...POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW STARTING THIS WEEKEND... 



While parts of the central and southern panhandle continue to dig

out from the latest storm that is coming to a close, our next

system is on the horizon already. This system looks to potentially

bring accumulating snow to the central and southern panhandle. 

The concern right now is how fast do temperatures warm up. If the 

cold air is able to hold on, there could be a greater chance for 

accumulating snow for the southern panhandle. But if the cold, dry

air gets mixed out, snow accumulations could be significantly 

less. Right now, parts of the southern panhandle could see snow 

start as soon as Saturday morning with the first wave of heavy 

snow falling during the day on Saturday. The snow would continue 

into early Sunday before likely switching to rain. Latest model 

guidance is favoring this warmer solution which would limit 

accumulations so this will need to be monitored closely for any 

potential fluctuations in how warm the southern panhandle could 

get.
