...POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY...

A low tracking just east of Kodiak Island will bring a mix of
precipitation types Thursday night into Friday night and then
bring a chance for heavy snow and blowing snow late Friday night
into Saturday.

There is considerable uncertainty in the precipitation type as the
rain-snow line will be very close to Kodiak City and any movement
of the low track east or west will make a large difference in how
much warm air will move over the Island. As the cold air moves in
again early Saturday, there may be a periods of heavy snow and
blowing snow before drier air from the west shuts off the snow.

At this time, the most likely scenario is for the precipitation to
begin as snow on Thursday night with a few inches of accumulation
before turning to rain on Friday. The change back to snow should
occur late Friday night, and that will be when the potential for
the more significant snow and blowing snow conditions are
possible.

The forecast is likely to change between now and this weekend so
please pay attention for forecast updates.
