| Description: |
...SNOW TO CONTINUE ON NORTHERN HIGHWAYS THROUGH THURSDAY... .Most concern for snowfall through Wednesday evening continues to be west of Haines towards Haines Customs and north of Skagway towards White Pass. The winter weather advisory was extended for the Klondike Highway, and will now last through Thursday night. This is in anticipation of the potential for more accumulating snow through Thursday. Forecast confidence is low in snowfall totals during the daytime hours, as warming temperatures aloft may reduce accumulation totals along the Klondike Highway during this time. However, forecast confidence is higher in accumulating snow along the Klondike Highway through early Thursday morning, and for Thursday night, when lower snow levels will contribute to snowfall totals. Dense, wet snow will make up a majority of the accumulating snow, with latest guidance further lowering snow ratios. Stay tuned for additional details at weather.gov/juneau. * WHAT...Long duration snowfall. Additional snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches through early Friday. * WHERE...Klondike Highway near White pass. * WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Friday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snowfall rates will diminish through Wednesday evening before intensifying again late Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Southerly wind arrives early Thursday morning bringing the potential for some drifting snow near White Pass with wind gusts up to 25 mph. However, this will also diminish confidence in accumulating snow through the daytime hours at lower elevations of the Klondike Highway and Skagway, as warming temperatures may prove warm enough to limit accumulations. Forecast confidence is higher in accumulating snow returning for Thursday evening and overnight hours on Thursday at the upper elevations. . |
