Winter Weather Advisory issued December 22 at 4:33AM AKST until December 23 at 6:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

…FRONTAL PASSAGE TO BRING RAIN AND SNOW…

.Area of low pressure is expected to move northwest into the Gulf
of Alaska. As the low tracks north, the associated front will
move northward through the panhandle. This front is expected to
usher in warmer air but with cold air already in place, parts of
the northern panhandle will see snow before the switch to rain.
If the warmer air is slow to track northward, total snowfall
amounts will be higher than expected. For now, thinking the
heaviest snowfall will be limited to the Haines Highway, near
Klukwan and farther west, with mainly rain for Haines.

* WHAT…Wet snow expected. Total snow accumulations of up to 8
inches along the Haines Highway, especially near the border.

* WHERE…Haines Highway and Klukwan.

* WHEN…From 6 AM Sunday to 6 AM AKST Monday.

* IMPACTS…Travel could be difficult.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Highest snowfall totals will be out the
road at the higher elevations of the Haines Highway. Higher
snowfall amounts are possible if temperatures do not warm up
as fast as expected.
