Ketchikan, AK Severe Weather Alertstar_ratehome

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM TO 3 PM AKST
SATURDAY...

* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 5
inches.

* WHERE...Prince of Wales Island, Ketchikan Gateway Borough and
Annette Island.

* WHEN...From 3 AM to 3 PM AKST Saturday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be difficult.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Final snow totals will be highly dependent
on how quickly the cold air is eroded away by the incoming warm
air. The 'warmest' case scenario would allow the rain to mix in
Saturday morning, which would cut snowfall totals in half. The
'coldest' case scenario would keep snow as the dominate precip-
type lasting into Saturday evening. If this plays out, snowfall
amounts would be doubled.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Slow down and use caution while traveling.

People are urged to prepare their property before the onset of
winter weather.
