..HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK
.SNOW SHOWERS FROM THE GULF OF ALASKA WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING AT LEAST. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 12 INCHES
ARE EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY, WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE. A MORE ORGANIZED AREA OF SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT
THE NE GULF COAST ON THURSDAY BRINGING MORE INTENSE SNOW FALLS
WHICH HAS PROMPTED THE ADDITION OF WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR
YAKUTAT AND PELICAN. HOWEVER, ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIMITED
DURING THE DAYTIME DUE TO WARMER TEMPERATURES AS WE ARE NOW INTO
THE LATTER HALF OF MARCH. IN ADDITION, SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS
WILL BE WIDELY VARIABLE ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO THE HIT OR MISS
NATURE OF THE SHOWERS. RATES AS HIGH AS 1 INCH PER HOUR AND
VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 1/2 MILE OR LESS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY
HEAVIER SHOWERS THAT REPEATEDLY MOVE OVER THE SAME LOCATION.
ADVISORIES COULD BE UPGRADED TO SHORT-FUSE WINTER STORM WARNINGS
IF HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE OVER THE SAME AREA. A RELATIVE
LULL IN THE HEAVIEST BANDS OF SHOWERS IS POSSIBLE FOR SOME AREAS
ON FRIDAY, BUT MORE SNOW WILL LIKELY SWEEP INTO THE PANHANDLE FOR
THE WEEKEND.
