...POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOW STARTING
SATURDAY...
AFTER THE CURRENTLY ONGOING SNOW SHOWERS DEPART THE AREA, THERE
IS INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOW TO
IMPACT THE AREA STARTING SATURDAY AND GOING THROUGH THE START OF
NEXT WORK-WEEK. CURRENTLY, DEEP LAYER OF COLD AIR LOOKS TO BECOME
ENTRENCHED OVER THE INNER CHANNELS WHILE APPRECIABLE MOISTURE IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE ONSHORE FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA STARTING THIS
WEEKEND, GIVING AN OVERRUNNING EVENT. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR
SNOWFALL LOOKS TO BE AROUND THE CENTRAL PANHANDLE FROM WRANGELL
AND PETERSBURG UP TO THE ICY STRAIT CORRIDOR, INCLUDING JUNEAU.
THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT ON THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST
SNOWFALL, WHICH COULD SHIFT WHAT COMMUNITIES SEE THE GREATEST
ACCUMULATIONS. PART OF THIS WILL DEPEND ON WHERE THE COLD AIR SETS
UP ACROSS THE INNER CHANNELS. PLACES THAT STAY SOUTH OF THE
COLDER AIR WILL SEE MORE RAIN THAN SNOW FOR PRECIP ACCUMULATIONS.
