Winter Storm Warning
...HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA THROUGH MONDAY...
Snowfall is ongoing across much of the panhandle as a front
pushes inland, with snowfall rates beginning to diminish in the
wake of the front as snow showers replace the previously
widespread snowfall. Heaviest snowfall rates will continue
through Monday afternoon for locations along and north of the Icy
Strait Corridor. An initial warmup moving up from the south has
brought temperatures as far north as Hoonah and Pelican to 34
degrees. That warm up is expected to continue into the early
morning hours of Tuesday, resulting in some locations changing
over to a rain and rain/snow mix for areas along and south of the
Icy Strait Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau.
However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on
Tuesday will likely see a switch back to snow for most areas. Main
forecast challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable
snowfall accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the
hit or miss nature of the showers. The potential exists that
warnings and advisories could be extended into Tuesday.
* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 1 to 4
inches. Winds gusting as high as 30 mph.
* WHERE...Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island, Cape
Fairweather to Lisianski Strait and Admiralty Island.
* WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST this evening.
* IMPACTS...Travel by land, sea, and air will be be very
difficult. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Through the afternoon and evening hours, a
transition to a rain/snow mix, or even rain, is expected as a
strong push of southerly winds moves northward. The southerly
winds diminish in strength on Tuesday, allowing snow showers to
return to the area.

Winter Storm Warning
...HEAVY SNOW RETURNS TO SOUTHEAST ALASKA ON MONDAY...
.Prefrontal showers associated with a weak wave moved through the
Icy Strait corridor and western Baranof Island has prompted the
winter storm warning to be moved up in time. Snow ratios are very
high, pushing greater than 30:1, therefore snow characteristic is
very fluffy and dry with very little moisture. Once snow becomes
increasingly wet, expect to see any snow depth gained from these
snow showers reduced. Therefore, there is very little change in
overall snow totals.
A weather system will arrive late Sunday night and sweep into
southeast Alaska, bringing heavy snowfall across the region on
Monday. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected through Monday
morning and into the afternoon. An initial warmup moving up from
the south is expected through the afternoon and overnight hours
on Monday, resulting in some locations changing over to a rain
and rain/snow mix for areas along and south of the Icy Strait
Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau. However,
weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will
more than likely see a switch back to snow. Main forecast
challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable snowfall
accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the hit or
miss nature of the showers, warnings and advisories could be
extended into Tuesday.
* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 4 to 15
inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph.
* WHERE...City and Borough of Juneau.
* WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST this evening.
* IMPACTS...Travel by land, sea, and air will be be very
difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning
or evening commute.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highly variable accumulations of 1 to 5
inches have fallen in Juneau. The heaviest snow is expected by 9
am Monday through the afternoon. Through the evening and
overnight hours on Monday, a transition to a rain/snow mix, or
even rain, is expected as a strong push of southerly winds moves
northward. The strongest wind gusts will occur as the southerly
winds push northward. The southerly winds diminish in strength
on Tuesday, allowing snow showers to return to the area. Main

with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will more likely see a switch
back to snow resulting in significant accumulations on Tuesday.

17 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 55 mph.
* WHERE...Admiralty Island, Petersburg Borough, Western
Kupreanof Island and Kuiu Island, City and Borough of Wrangell
