A weak low pressure looks to set up over the northern Gulf of Alaska this week while high pressure remains over the Yukon. With this setup as well as cold air that is currently in place through the panhandle, snow is becoming more likely for all locations; however some locations could see more snow than others. For info on those locations expected to see significant snow accumulations, please refer to the Winter Weather Advisories for those areas for more details. Temperatures are expected to warm briefly for the middle of the week, but colder air is expected to move back into the panhandle just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. This colder air will allow what precipitation that does fall during this time to remain as snow. At the moment, accumulations for the latter half of the week do not look to be significant. However, with the cold air and ground temperatures, what does fall will stick to the ground immediately and remain. With the prolonged period of snow, there could be impacts for those attempting to travel.
