...HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES FOR SOUTHEAST ALASKA THROUGH MONDAY... Snowfall is ongoing across much of the panhandle as a front pushes inland, with snowfall rates beginning to diminish in the wake of the front as snow showers replace the previously widespread snowfall. Heaviest snowfall rates will continue through Monday afternoon for locations along and north of the Icy Strait Corridor. An initial warmup moving up from the south has brought temperatures as far north as Hoonah and Pelican to 34 degrees. That warm up is expected to continue into the early morning hours of Tuesday, resulting in some locations changing over to a rain and rain/snow mix for areas along and south of the Icy Strait Corridor from Elfin Cove to Gustavus and Juneau. However, weakening winds combined with heavy snow showers on Tuesday will likely see a switch back to snow for most areas. Main forecast challenge on Tuesday will be the highly variable snowfall accumulations across the northern panhandle due to the hit or miss nature of the showers. The potential exists that warnings and advisories could be extended into Tuesday. * WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of up to one inch.
