...SNOW FOR THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE THIS WEEKEND...

.A pattern change is bringing colder temperatures and strong
outflow winds extending southward through the weekend. This
pattern, in combination with prolonged moisture, is producing
accumulating heavy snow for the Haines and Klondike highways and
communities of the northern panhandle. Heavy to moderate snow has
begun over the Icy Strait Corridor due to the arctic boundary
moving south of the Gustavus - Juneau area.

The next band of heavier precipitation is expected to move
through tonight into Sunday morning. Snow is also expected to
become lighter and less dense as the event goes on following the
drying trend. Cold temperatures are expected to continue to spread
southward into early next week, increasing potential for a long
duration snowfall event.

As the band of precipitation moves south snow accumulations
spread into the southern panhandle, including the Hyder area, into
Monday night.

* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 12 to 18
inches. Winds gusting as high as 50 mph Sunday.

* WHERE...Municipality of Skagway and Haines Borough and Klukwan.

* WHEN...Until 3 PM AKST Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult and is discouraged
unless it is an emergency. Gusty winds could bring down tree
branches. The cold wind chills as low as 20 below zero Near
White Pass could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little
as 30 minutes.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...6 to 11 inches have already been reported
in Haines and along the Haines road, Along the Klondike Highway
lighter amounts continue with drifting and blowing snow.
