Description

...SHOWERS CONTINUE WITH MORE SNOW EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND... Snow showers will continue to impact the region through the end of the week, with snow accumulations being limited during the daytime hours. Confidence is increasing on seeing a more significant round of snow this weekend, as cold temperatures aloft remain in place and we see more moisture move in. There remains a lot of uncertainty for snow accumulations at the surface as we are starting to see warmer day time temperatures into the mid to high 30s to around 40 due to increasing daylight and sun angle. Temperatures aloft are still more favorable for accumulating snow amounts. If the precipitation rates are significant enough to overcome the warmer surface temperatures, snow accumulations will be greater. But if the temperatures are able to overcome the precipitation rates, snowfall will be limited as it melts by the time it reaches the surface. This will need to be monitored for any changes in potential snow accumulation. The orientation of the low and where the showers move into the panhandle will also impact the snow amounts, with how northward and inland the heavier moisture will push and how organized the band of showers is expected to be when moving through this weekend. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates at weather.gov/juneau.
