..POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW STARTING SATURDAY
THERE IS AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW TO IMPACT
THE AREA STARTING SATURDAY AND GOING THROUGH THE START OF NEXT
WEEK. CURRENTLY, COLD AIR LOOKS TO BECOME ENTRENCHED IN THE INNER
CHANNELS WHILE MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ONSHORE FROM THE GULF
OF ALASKA STARTING THIS WEEKEND. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR SNOW
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 SNOW
WHICH COULD SHIFT WHAT COMMUNITIES SEE THE MOST 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.
