...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.
