..POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR SIGNIFICANT LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT LATE
THIS WEEKEND...

Multiple systems look to move through the region this coming
weekend. Temperatures and snow levels are expected to steadily
fall starting on Saturday through the weekend over the northern
panhandle.

Current forecast confidence is not high enough for warning level
snowfall moving toward the NE Gulf Coast and the Icy Strait
Corridor, including Juneau, Gustavus, Hoonah, and Yakutat. This is
primarily due to the timing challenge of when the transition from
rain to snow occurs and the amount of resulting accumulating
snowfall expected thereafter. However, forecast confidence remains
high on this staying a longer duration event through the weekend
once snowfall starts, with snow and colder temperatures continuing
to move southward across the panhandle into early next week.

Stay tuned to the forecast over the coming days as forecast
confidence improves on the extent and timing of this system.
