Steady snowfall continues across a majority of the panhandle and will continue to pick up as the low moves into the eastern gulf through Saturday afternoon. Later in the afternoon and evening, south to southwest wind are expected to cause temperatures to warm over the southern outer coast with precipitation becoming a mix or changing to all rain. Around the same time, snow will end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau and northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in. The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait Sunday into Monday with additional heavy snow expected for the Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward once again.
