URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
848 AM AKST Wed Jan 29 2025

...MULTIPLE SYSTEMS MOVING INTO THE PANHANDLE BRINGING SNOW...

Moisture moving northward over colder air at the surface will 
lead to continued showers from the Icy Strait corridor down to 
Prince of Wales Island through Wednesday afternoon. While the
southern panhandle has transitioned primarily to cold rain at the
surface, areas from Sitka to Petersburg northward remain primarily
snow. For the Winter Storm Watch, a weak system over the NE Gulf 
Coast will linger Wednesday night into Thursday, directing 
moisture into the central and northern Panhandle, around Icy 
Strait as well as Prince of Wales Island. It is currently 
uncertain how much moisture is associated with this weak system, 
as well as where the heaviest snow will be as snowfall amounts 
will mainly be driven by showers. Some areas could potentially see
up to warning level snow if multiple heavy showers start to 
impact the same area repeatedly. Elsewhere, snow accumulations 
could potentially be little to no accumulation leading to 
significant accumulation differences.
