The winter weather advisories for Prince of Wales Island, Ketchikan, and Annette Island have been extended through Saturday morning at 10 AM due to the anticipation of a longer-duration snow event.

We are expecting hit-or-miss snow showers to continue into the weekend, which could bring as little as 6 inches and as much as 15 inches of snow to the southern panhandle from Thursday until Saturday. Total snow accumulations will depend heavily on daytime temperatures, with highs looking to reach into the upper 30s to low 40s. High daytime temperatures combined with the increased sun angle may limit overall snow accumulations or turn precipitation to a rain/snow mix, especially near the coast. Showers are expected to diminish into Sunday.
