...Light Snow May Affect the Morning Commute...

Light snow is expected to develop early this morning then spread
southeast as a cold front sweeps across the area.

Minor accumulations of less than an inch are expected, but this,
combined with cold surfaces, may create slick conditions on
untreated roadways, and may impact the morning commute.

Allow extra time to reach your destination and be prepared for

morning. Precipitation will mostly be in the form of snow and
sleet. Accumulations of up to half an inch are possible. Low
temperatures tonight are expected to be in the middle to upper
20s, so even light wintry accumulations on area roadways will be
capable of producing slick driving conditions. Cold temperatures
on Thursday with highs in the 30s to lower 40s will quickly

..POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR SIGNIFICANT LONG DURATION SNOW EVENT LATE
THIS WEEKEND...

Multiple systems look to move through the region this coming
weekend. Temperatures and snow levels are expected to steadily
fall starting on Saturday through the weekend over the northern
panhandle.

Current forecast confidence is not high enough for warning level
snowfall moving toward the NE Gulf Coast and the Icy Strait
Corridor, including Juneau, Gustavus, Hoonah, and Yakutat. This is
primarily due to the timing challenge of when the transition from
rain to snow occurs and the amount of resulting accumulating
snowfall expected thereafter. However, forecast confidence remains
high on this staying a longer duration event through the weekend
once snowfall starts, with snow and colder temperatures continuing
to move southward across the panhandle into early next week.

Stay tuned to the forecast over the coming days as forecast
confidence improves on the extent and timing of this system.

...Very Cold and Windy This Weekend...

A very cold Arctic airmass will drift south over the area Thursday
through this weekend. This, combined with high pressure building
to the north, will bring very cold conditions along with
increasing northeast winds and very cold wind chills. Hills will
likely see northeast winds gusting to 30 mph with temperatures in
the teens below zero, bringing wind chills as cold as 50 below
zero. Areas of blowing snow are possible as well. Valley
temperatures will drop into the 20s and 30s below zero with
intermittent wind gusts mixing out the inversion to bring brief
periods of warmer temperatures, but still very cold wind chills.

This looks to be the beginning of a prolonged period of very cold
conditions with the Arctic airmass and clear skies sticking
around through next week. As winds diminish toward the early to
middle part of next week, valley temperatures in the 40s and 50s
below zero are not out of the question.

...Light Snow May Affect The Morning Commute Tomorrow...

Light snow is expected to develop late tonight ahead of an
approaching cold front through the area. This will impact the
entire area but mainly the northern counties and the ridges will
be impacted the most.

The snow is expected to be light with only a coating to 2 inches
at the very most. However, the colder temperatures will allow snow
to stick to all untreated surfaces. This will make for slippery
travel through the morning commute. It doesn`t take much snow in
these colder temperatures to cause impacts.

Motorists should prepare for slick road conditions Thursday
morning. Allow extra time for travel.
