...ACCUMULATING SNOW, RAIN, AND WIND ARRIVE LATE SATURDAY AND LAST
THROUGH NEXT WEEK...


A series of systems will be advancing across the
panhandle beginning late Saturday, and continuing through the end
of next week, bringing widespread active weather back to
Southeast Alaska.

An initial system this weekend will result in widespread
accumulating snow; however, most locations will see less then
advisory levels. The exception looks to be Yakutat where we could
see more substantial snowfall amounts.

Late Monday an atmospheric river will begin to move into the
region with an associated deep and warm air mass along with gusty
winds. Expect most locations to change over to rain with the
exception of Haines and Skagway, with the potential for the
highways to see heavy snowfall. A brief lull on Wednesday will be
followed by another system and atmospheric river late in the
week. River rises are possible with these two systems, and ponding
and runoff are possible in some locations as water flows off of
still frozen soils.

24-hour rainfall totals at sea level look to remain near 2 to 4
inches for both systems.
