After the currently ongoing snow showers depart the area, there is increasing potential for more significant accumulating snow to impact the area starting Saturday and going through the start of next work-week. Currently, deep layer of cold air looks to become entrenched over the Inner Channels while appreciable moisture is expected to move onshore from the Gulf of Alaska starting this weekend, giving an overrunning event. The highest confidence for snowfall looks to be around the central Panhandle from Wrangell and Petersburg up to the Icy Strait Corridor, including Juneau. There is some disagreement on the exact location of the heaviest snowfall, which could shift what communities see the greatest accumulations. Part of this will depend on where the cold air sets up across the Inner Channels. Places that stay south of the colder air will see more rain than snow for precip accumulations.

INTERMITTENT SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THURSDAY
- Numerous snow showers are continuing to make their way across the gulf and overspreading the panhandle this morning. A more organized band of showers has developed near the Icy Strait corridor and Juneau that has been enhanced by the addition of overrunning of cold air starting to blow in from the north. As a result the snow around Juneau, Hoonah, Gustavus and Pelican is now expected to last into the afternoon hours before diminishing. Areas farther south will see additional snowfall today as the showers over the gulf continue to stream in from the west, gradually tapering off from north to south through the day. Snowfall accumulations will be highly variable due to hit or miss nature of showers and locally higher amounts are expected. Temperatures will continue to gradually fall through Thursday across the northern panhandle.
-
WHAT: Snow. Additional snow accumulations of up to two inches.
-
WHERE: Admiralty Island.
-
WHEN: Until noon AKST today.
-
IMPACTS: Plan on slippery conditions.
-
ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Snow accumulations will be highly variable with localized locations having a chance of seeing accumulations a few inches higher or lower than the above range.
