...SNOW POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR PORTIONS OF SE ALASKA...
.Lingering low pressure over the NE Gulf of Alaska will cause bands of showers to track over the area. Lack of moisture with the system thus far has caused lower snowfall, reducing the expected storm total accumulation.
For Petersburg, a strengthening system incoming from the west will push warm air northward Wednesday afternoon with a wintry mix. Overnight, northerly, cold air is expected to move in and transition any mix over to wet and dense snow. As more cold air moves in, snow will become increasingly fluffy and dry.
For Hyder, an all snow event from the aforementioned system will move inland, bringing the main moisture feed to the Misty Fjords area, including Hyder. Cold, continental air from the east will keep snow dry and fluffy throughout the event, accumulating quickly Thursday morning.
